Time cowboy

"Only if it turns out that reality is actually nothing more than a holographic illusion created by the interplay of subatomic particles on a vast two-dimensional membrane." This article covers a subject that has been deemed non-canon by either the author or the Back to the Future licensees, and thus should not be taken as a part of the "real" Back to the Future universe.

Time cowboy was a term that Marcus Irving used to refer to Marty McFly and Emmett Brown.

In Irving's view, Marty and Doc weren't afraid to use the DeLorean time machine to travel many years into the future and past, making large changes to the space-time continuum, whereas Irving himself was wary of making large changes, only venturing into time in "baby steps" so he could better prevent any unwanted changes.
