Best answer

Marvel was a short, ** who sported a shabby hat and thrived on charity.
He was lazy and did not show any intention to work hard for improving his life.
Griffin did not have a very high opinion about Marvel‟* abilities, still he made him his accomplice because Marvel was an obvious weakling who could be easily intimidated.
His cowardice did not let him defy Griffins commands. Surprisingly, this apparently good -for-nothing fellow managed to cheat a wicked and dangerously evil man like Griffin.
He was a simple person, ill-equipped in every sense, as compared to the all powerful Invisible Man. He had no choice but to obey each order coming from his self proclaimed master.
Marvel was more of a than an accomplice in . When he succeeded in sneaking away, it was actually to save his life.
Of course towards the end he does show smartness by hiding the entire money and the three books of Griffin.
He also exhibits his keen business acumen by wisely investing this money to open an inn.
His decision to name this venture after the Invisible Man again shows that Marvel knew how to turn circumstances in his favour.
He never revealed to anyone that the three books of Griffin were in his possession. He pondered over them in private trying to figure out the coded message. This was done for survival rather than treachery
