Martin Seamus "Marty" McFly Jr was born in 1998 and was the son of Marty and Jennifer McFly. He had a sister, Marlene.

At 17, Marty Jr looked almost identical to his father at the same age - this allows Marty, from 1985, to pretend to be his son in 2015. However, Marty Jr was not exactly the same. Whilst both he and his sister strongly resembled their father a lot more than their mother, Marty Jr had brown eyes like his mother, as opposed to blue eyes like his father.

Marty Jr. liked watching television, usually 6 channels at a time as is common in 2015. He appeared to be a cross between his grandfather, George McFly and his father, in that whilst he was not a total nerd, he could be a bit of a wimp. He would try to stand up for himself, yet usually gave in to peer pressure. Marty Jr was not however afraid to be a "smartass" though and often made (usually bad) jokes.

Marty Jr's self-adjusting jacket was also broken on one sleeve, suggesting that he didn't have a part time job to repair it/buy a new one, or else he did not really care much about his appearance. Like many people in his age, he also wore his pants inside out.

Biography

Little is known about Marty Jr's life pre-2015, when he was aged 17. In 1985, his father Marty Sr was in a car accident which resulted in him breaking his hand and being sued by the other driver, all because a classmate challenged him to a race. Marty had said "no", but had given in after being called a "chicken". Marty spent the next 30 years feeling sorry for himself, and this attitude might have influenced Marty Jr. Without a confident father around, Marty Jr became a pushover and a wimp (much to the horror of 1985 Marty), and was bullied by Griff Tannen and his gang.

On the afternoon of October 21, 2015, Marty Jr. met Griff Tannen in the Cafe 80's ("one of those nostalgia places but not done very well"). Griff asked Marty Jr to join him and his gang with a robbery. Although he originally says "no", Marty Jr was thrown over the counter by Griff and he agreed to join them. At 1.28am the next morning, the gang (plus Marty Jr) robbed the Hill Valley Payroll Substation with a stolen disguising unit, but were caught when Marty Jr sets off an alarm. Griff and his gang distanced themselves from the crime, so Marty Jr was blamed and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

The following week, Marlene tried to break him out of jail and was caught - she was sentenced to 20 years inside. Doc Brown, visiting from 1985 in his DeLorean time machine, found out about all this and vowed to prevent it from happening.

Luckily all this changed on October 21, when Doc brought the 1985 versions of Marty and Jennifer to 2015 and knocked the real Marty Jr. out. At this time Marty from 1985 took his son's place, pretending to be him. However, because Doc used the sleep inducing alpha rhythm generator on Jennifer earlier, there was not enough power to knock out Marty Jr. for a full hour, and he still went to the Cafe 80's to meet Griff. Seeing his future son approach, Marty hid underneath the counter at the cafe. Soon after meeting him at the cafe, Griff threw the real Marty Jr. over the counter leaving him in a semi-concious state at which time Marty posed as him again. Marty, as Marty Jr., said "No" to Griff, a response that Griff was not expecting. After much chaos including a hoverboard chase around Courthouse Square, Marty manages to get Griff sent to jail by causing Griff to crash into the Courthouse on his hoverboard (a "Pit Bull"). Now that Griff was in jail, the robbery never happened and Marty Jr did not go to jail.

Marty Jr. would later become the father of Marta McFly, captain and operator of McFly Space Cruisers, which immortalized the McFly Dynasty.
