Marty McFly is a fictional character, the lead character in the Back to the Future motion picture trilogy, played by actor Michael J. Fox in the three films and voiced by David Kaufman in the animated series.
Marty was born in 1968, the youngest of 3 children to George McFly and Lorraine Baines McFly. He has a brother Dave, sister Linda and girlfriend Jennifer Parker. His best friend is mad scientist Doc Brown, who invented a time machine that was built into a De Lorean sports car in 1985. Marty and Doc had many adventures in this time machine, visiting 1955, 2015, an alternate 1985 and 1885 before finally returning home.
Marty plays lead guitar in a rock and roll band called the Pinheads and likes listening to Huey Lewis and the News and Eddie Van Halen. He is an accomplished skateboarder.
One of Marty's weaknesses is his willingness to fight or take dares whenever someone calls him "chicken". This caused him to break his guitar-playing hand in an automobile race in 1985 and ruined his dream of becoming a rock star. Ironically, while visiting 1955 Marty improved his father's life by teaching him not to be afraid of a fight. In the future, he has married Jennifer and had 2 kids, Marlene and Marty McFly Jr, but none of them were really happy. While visiting 1885 Marty learnt not to get angry, which saved him from being involved an automobile accident upon his return to the present.
Marty McFly resides in Hill Valley, California.
