Harpo portrayed a clownish mute, and never spoke on stage or on film. He usually dressed in a trench coat, top hat, and a bright red wig. He carried a bicycle horn, and would often sidle up to a person and have them hold his leg up. His name was derived from his harp playing, which had been a staple of their stage act (and later films).

Chico affected an Italian accent, and was usually paired as Harpo's partner. He competed in wordplay with Groucho and played piano, sometimes ending a glissando by "shooting" the last note with his index finger.

Zeppo played the group's straight man and occasional romantic lead,<ref>http://www.marx-brothers.org/biography/zeppo.htm</ref> though on stage he understudied for Groucho, and was considered just as capable a comedian as his siblings. <ref>http://books.google.ca/books?id=k64P_6iYpmUC&pg=PA52&lpg=PA52&dq=zeppo+understudy+groucho&source=bl&ots=uQoGLAfa09&sig=ys2CDvkJYy1Qw339VywlwosZWgY&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result</ref> Zeppo eventually left the group and ran a company that produced parts for the [[World War II|war]] effort.
