"Doc", as he is referred to by his best friend, Marty McFly, was born in the early 1920s—the novelization says he was 65 (implying 1920), while The Animated Series gives 1922—in Hill Valley, California. Martin "Marty" McFly is a Fictional character and the main protagonist in the Back to the Future Back to the Future The Animated Series is an Animated series based on the ''Back to the Future'' trilogy of feature films Hill Valley is a Fictional California Town that serves as the setting of the ''Back to the Future'' trilogy and its animated spin-off California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. A scientist by trade, Doc is a "student of all sciences" and spends much of his time inventing. An invention is a new form composition of matter device or Process. He usually has a pet dog; in 1955, his dog was named Copernicus, and by 1985, he had a dog named Einstein after Albert Einstein.

Doc can be absent-minded at times, and despite getting around town due to his repair business (see below) he is regarded by many of Hill Valley's townsfolk as strange, eccentric, or crazy (see mad scientist). The absent-minded professor is a Stock character of popular fiction usually portrayed as an Academic with important information but whose focus on their learning As such, he has few friends (the only friends of his we meet through the trilogy are his dogs, Marty, and Marty's girlfriend, Jennifer Parker). Jennifer Jane Parker is a Fictional character in the Back to the Future Motion picture Trilogy. Because of this, Doc is often seen as a loner even though he cares about the people he is close to. However, it is not known when he would have originally met Marty. The first film does not specify their original first meeting; when Marty goes back in time to 1955 the first meeting is pushed back prior to Marty's birth. Later, after Marty was born and they met again, Doc presumably remembered but kept this memory secret from the "new" Marty of the positively altered timeline until the "original" Marty returns to the altered 1985
Doc does not believe in "love at first sight" until he ends up meeting his future wife Clara Clayton in 1885, since he does not see scientifically how such a feeling works. Clara Clayton is a Fictional character, one of the lead characters in the Back to the Future Motion picture Trilogy, played in
Doc often works through the night on his inventions and can become obsessed with little things. An invention is a new form composition of matter device or Process. He will always try to use a big word rather than a small one if one is available – for example, he refers to a dance as a "rhythmic ceremonial ritual". He often tends to enunciate his words with wide-eyed facial expressions and broad gestures. He is also known for his expression of the catch phrase "Great Scott!" He also likes jazz music, Jules Verne and Westerns. A catch phrase (or catchphrase) is a phrase or expression recognized by its repeated utterance Great Scott! is an exclamation of surprise or amazement Possible origins The expression dates back at least to the American Civil War, and may refer to the one-time Jazz is an American Musical art form which originated in the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the Southern United States Jules Gabriel Verne ( February 8 1828 &ndash March 24 1905) was a French Author who pioneered the science-fiction The Western is a fiction Genre seen in Film, Television, Radio, Literature, Painting and other Visual arts. Although he may like to gamble, he would never use time travel for that reason. This article details time travel itself For other uses see Time Traveler. Doc does not usually drink alcoholic beverages, since he has a tendency to pass out after just one drink. As stated in the original film, he is allergic to all synthetic fabrics. Back to the Future is a 1985 science fiction Comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg.
Doc has been involved in illegal and criminal enterprises within the scope of the films. He cheated Libyan terrorists out of an unspecified amount of stolen plutonium he tricked them into stealing for him, and would have died as a result had Marty not intervened. Libya ( ليبيا ar-Latn Lībiyā; Libyan vernacular: Lībya; Amazigh:) officially the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion

Pre-Back to the Future
Doc's back story and early life have been considerably elucidated by looking at draft scripts and spin-off series. In Narratology, a back-story (also back story or backstory) is the history behind the situation extant at the start of the main story One draft script suggests that his mother was called Sarah Lathrop, which would explain his middle initial "L" in the films. (Doc's middle name, "Lathrop", is revealed in the animated series). Back to the Future The Animated Series is an Animated series based on the ''Back to the Future'' trilogy of feature films She also has a brother named Abraham and carries a rag doll she named Emma, suggesting she named her son after her doll. Doc's mother's side of the family have lived in Hill Valley since around the 1880s, while his father's side of the family arrived in Hill Valley in 1908, when they were known as the Von Brauns – they changed their name to Brown during World War I. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All It has been speculated that the fictional Doc is supposed to be a relative of the real scientist Wernher von Braun. Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun (March 23 1912 &ndash June 16 1977 a German rocket physicist and astronautics engineer became one of the leading figures in Doc's family was presumably from the German Empire or Austria-Hungary. The German Empire is the name commonly used in English to describe Germany from 1871 to 1918 when it was a semi- Constitutional monarchy: beginning with the Unification According to the animated series, Doc has an uncle Oliver who lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and young Emmett would go to visit him in the summer. Wisconsin ( or wɪˈskɑnsɨn (French Ouisconsin) is one of the fifty United States of America, located in the north central part of the United States The animated series also showed that Doc Brown was a wrestler briefly in the 50s, but never really competed, and that his college roommate was Mr. Wisdom, a man who stole his science fair project, and won first prize for it.
At age 11, Doc discovered the works of his favorite author, Jules Verne. Jules Gabriel Verne ( February 8 1828 &ndash March 24 1905) was a French Author who pioneered the science-fiction From that point, he decided to dedicate his life to science. A draft script suggests he got into science when he stuck his finger in an electrical socket. Around 1932, one year later, Doc tried digging to the center of the Earth, inspired by the 1864 novel Journey to the Center of the Earth. A Journey to the Centre of the Earth (Voyage au centre de la Terre also translated as A Journey to the Interior of the Earth, is a classic 1864 Robert Zemeckis, co-writer/director of the films, has suggested that during the early 1940s Doc worked on the Manhattan Project, though this is never mentioned on screen (but it would give credence to his knowledge of nuclear physics and plutonium). Robert Lee "Bob" Zemeckis (born May 14, 1952) is an Academy Award - and Golden Globe -winning American Film director, The World War II Manhattan Project developed the first Nuclear weapon (atomic bomb Nuclear physics is the field of Physics that studies the building blocks and interactions of Atomic nuclei. Zemeckis also mentions that Doc had attended the University of California, Berkeley and MIT. The University of California Berkeley (also referred to as Cal, Berkeley and UC Berkeley) is a major research university located in Berkeley
During the 1950s, Doc worked as a professor of physics at Hill Valley University. The meaning of the word professor ( Latin: professor, person who professes to be an expert in some art or science teacher of highest rank) varies Physics (Greek Physis - φύσις in everyday terms is the Science of Matter and its motion. Through unspecified means, Doc's family had amassed a large fortune that Doc had inherited by the 1950s. It allowed him to finance his projects and afford the lavish Brown Mansion, played by the real life historic landmark the Gamble House in Pasadena, CA for exterior shots on Riverside Drive (later renamed John F. The Gamble House, also known as David B Gamble House, (constructed 1908 - 1909 is a National Historic Landmark and museum in Pasadena, California Pasadena ( is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States.

By this time, having lost his home and having spent most all his fortune to build his time machine, he has a "day job" as something of quasi repair man. A day job is a form of occupation taken by a person in order to make ends meet while working another low-paying (or non-paying job in their preferred career track As pointed out in DVD commentary to the first Back to the Future film, the van he is seen using to bring the DeLorean to the mall for its first test is marked "Dr E. Brown Enterprises: 24 Hr. Scientific Services. " Writer/producer Bob Gale explains "our thinking was that the folks in Hill Valley, if they needed a scientist day or night, could simply call Doc Brown and he'd be there in his truck to do whatever service a scientist would be required for. "
Doc may have played the alto saxophone at some point in his life, as evidenced by the instrument lying next to the phone in his garage in Back to the Future. The alto saxophone is a member of the Saxophone a family of Woodwind instruments invented by Adolphe Sax. Back to the Future is a 1985 science fiction Comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg.
Back to the Future
On Saturday, November 5, 1955, Doc came up with the idea of the flux capacitor (which is what makes time travel possible) after slipping off his toilet while standing on it to hang a clock and bumping his head. Back to the Future is a 1985 science fiction Comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg.

A toilet is a Plumbing fixture and disposal system primarily intended for the disposal of the bodily wastes: Urine and fecal matter. The idea came to him in a vision he had after being knocked out. The time machine project suffered a setback on Wednesday, August 1, 1962 when Doc's mansion at 1640 Riverside (later John F. Kennedy) Drive burnt down. Events 30 BC - Octavian (later known as Augustus enters Alexandria, Egypt, bringing it under the control of the Roman Year 1962 ( MCMLXII) was a Common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

Although this was in 1955, it may have prevented the later one--or at least alerted Doc that better fire controls were needed. )
After the fire (if it occurred), Doc moved into his former garage (which had been detached from the mansion and as such had survived the fire). There were rumors that he had deliberately burnt it down to claim the insurance money to fund the time machine. Whether or not that was the case, Doc still had to use up most of his family's fortune to fund the creation of his time machine. Doc moved to his garage and sold the rest of his estate to developers, but he was soon back on track. On Monday, May 23, 1983, he was commended and given a civic award for unspecified reasons. Events 1430 - Siege of Compiègne: Joan of Arc is captured by the Burgundians while leading an army to relieve Compiègne Year 1983 ( MCMLXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1983 Gregorian calendar)
Doc finally finished installing his time machine into a De Lorean sports car in 1985, using plutonium to power it, and was supposedly killed by the group of Libyan terrorists who had given it to him. Libya ( ليبيا ar-Latn Lībiyā; Libyan vernacular: Lībya; Amazigh:) officially the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion (They had wanted a nuclear weapon in return, but Doc, in an act of either extreme courage or extreme foolhardiness, merely gave them "a shoddy bomb casing full of used pinball machine parts.

Pinball is a type of coin-operated Arcade game where a player attempts to score points by manipulating one or more Metal balls on a playfield inside a Glass " - a reference to the overly elaborate and colourful nuclear bomb interior seen at the climax of Goldfinger)
Marty, who had witnessed the first time travel experiment, was accidentally sent back to 1955, where he tried to warn the 1955 version of Doc about the terrorists. Goldfinger (1964 is the third James Bond film, as well as the third to star Sean Connery as MI6 agent James Bond. Doc did not want to know too much about his own future and ripped up the warning letter Marty had written him. Doc successfully sent Marty back to the future by harnessing the energy from a bolt of lightning as it struck the Hill Valley clocktower on Saturday, November 12, 1955 at 10:04 pm. Events 764 - Tibetan troops occupy Chang'an, the capital of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, for fifteen days Year 1955 ( MCMLV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1955 Gregorian calendar) Sometime after these events, one can surmise, Doc decided to take the risk, taped together Marty's warning letter, and discovered the truth about that night in 1985. When 1985 rolled around again, it turned out the Doc wore a bulletproof vest for protection. A ballistic vest is an item of protective clothing that absorbs the impact from gun-fired Projectiles and shrapnel fragments from explosion
After dropping Marty home, Doc went 30 years into the future. While it is known that he visited October 2015, it is not known exactly how long or during which days he was there for. While there, he got an "all natural overhaul" to his body which added 30 or 40 years to his life, and made him look younger. He also got the De Lorean hover-converted and installed a "Mr. Fusion". The Mr Fusion reactor eliminated the need for plutonium, and allowed the time machine to operate off of ordinary household garbage. Afterwards, Doc returned to 1985 to pick up Marty (and Jennifer, who happened to be there) to take them to 2015.
Back to the Future Part II
Doc had discovered that Marty's son, Marty Jr, was to go to jail for committing a crime, an event which would end up destroying the McFly family. Back to the Future Part II is a 1989 film and a Sequel to the 1985 film Back to the Future. The McFly family is a fictional family found in the Back to the Future series of films Doc devises a plan for Marty to pose as Marty, Jr. , (since the father-son resemblance was uncanny), as well as to prevent the crime from occurring. Doc then discovered that Marty had bought a sports almanac to take back to 1985 with him. ALMANAC is the name of a major Breast cancer trial The Acronym stands for "Axillary Lymphatic Mapping Against Nodal Axillary Clearance Doc lectured Marty about how he had not invented the time machine for financial gain. (Though, ironically, he had mentioned in the first movie that he would go ahead in time 25 years and one of the things he would do is find out the next 25 World Series winners. For other events named "World Series" see World Series (disambiguation. Even so, it is never said that he would use it for gambling, or any other profitable trick. ) Unknown to Doc or Marty, Biff Tannen overheard the conversation and later stole the De Lorean and the Almanac while Doc and Marty were rescuing 1985 Jennifer from the future McFly family house. Biff Tannen is a Fictional character and the main villain in the Back to the Future Motion picture Trilogy, played in the three
Doc, Marty, and Jennifer arrived back in 1985 only to discover that history had been altered. Biff's wealth had led to a total alteration of Hill Valley to Biff's wishes and supposed alterations to the entire world's history (such as Richard Nixon still being in office and the Vietnam War still being fought in 1985). The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, or the Vietnam Conflict, occurred in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia In this version of history, Doc has been committed to an insane asylum since 1983 (he was committed on the same day he won his award in the "proper" history). It is speculated that since Biff was warned by his older self upon delivery of the almanac that a "crazy, wild-eyed old man who claims to be a scientist" would ask about it someday, Biff was the one who had Doc committed, but no concrete evidence is provided in the film.
Doc and Marty headed back to 1955 to correct the timeline, and while Marty tracked down Biff to get the almanac from him, Doc attempted to make repairs to the time circuits, which kept re-setting the Destination Time setting to January 1, 1885. New Year See also New Year The Ancient Romans began their consular year on January 1st since 153 BC Year 1885 ( MDCCCLXXXV) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common Their mission of stealing the almanac and setting history straight was accomplished. However this success was quickly followed by Doc, in the De Lorean, being sent back to 1885 when a bolt of lightning struck the De Lorean. Once in 1885, Doc set himself up as a blacksmith while trying to fix the De Lorean, but had to give up as suitable parts to repair the De Lorean's destroyed microchip would not be invented until 1947 (the actual date of the invention of the transistor. blacksmith is a person who creates objects from Iron or Steel by Forging the Metal; i Microchipsjpg|right|thumb|200px|Microchips ( EPROM memory with a transparent window showing the integrated circuit inside In Electronics, a transistor is a Semiconductor device commonly used to amplify or switch electronic signals ) He buried the De Lorean in the abandoned Delgado Mine on the outskirts of town and wrote a letter to Marty to be delivered just minutes after the De Lorean was struck by lightning. The letter was held by Western Union for the next 70 years, given to Marty in 1955. The Western Union Company ( is a financial services and communications company based in the United States.
It also appears that Doc has made other travels to different time periods before coming back for Marty in 1985 because he has a suitcase full of money for, as he calls it, "all monetary possibilities. "
Back to the Future Part III
Marty received the letter and ran to the 1955 Doc, who had just sent the younger Marty back to the future. Back to the Future Part III is the third installment of the ''Back to the Future'' trilogy. Marty and Doc uncovered the De Lorean and repaired it, but Marty discovered that in 1885, Doc would be murdered by Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, ancestor of Biff. Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen is a Fictional character, born in 1857, in Back to the Future Part III — he is a town Outlaw Marty headed back to September 2, 1885, the day after Doc wrote the letter and five days before Doc's death, to save his friend. Events 44 BC - Pharaoh Cleopatra VII of Egypt declares her son co-ruler as Ptolemy XV Caesarion.

Marty located Doc, and once again Doc had to make repairs to the time machine after it ran out of gas (hard to come by in 1885). While making a plan to use a train to push the De Lorean to 88 mph, Doc saved a teacher, Clara Clayton, from falling over a ravine after a snake spooked her horses. Clara Clayton is a Fictional character, one of the lead characters in the Back to the Future Motion picture Trilogy, played in The ravine was, in the proper timeline, called Clayton Ravine after Clara fell into it. They fell in love at first sight, much to the despair of Marty who saw Clara as a distraction. Doc and Clara danced at the town festival on September 5, where Marty managed to save Doc from being shot by Buford Tannen. Events 1590 - Alexander Farnese 's army forces Henry IV of France to raise the siege of Paris. Doc and Clara also had their first kiss that night.
Later, Doc realized he would have to leave Clara behind when he went back to the future with Marty on Monday. He said goodbye to her and told her the truth about where he came from. Naturally, she did not believe him and slapped him. Broken-hearted, Doc went to have a glass of whisky at the Palace Saloon, where Marty found him next morning (Monday) with the same glass of whisky. A bar (also called a Pub or Tavern) is a business that serves drinks especially Alcoholic beverages such as beer liquor and mixed drinks for consumption After drinking the whisky, he immediately fell down drunk. Marty and Chester the bartender managed to revive Doc with an extremely spicy concoction called "wake-up juice" which included tabasco sauce, and afterwards Doc and Marty hijacked a train to use to push the De Lorean up to 88 miles per hour (141 km/h). Tabasco sauce is a brand of Hot sauce made from Tabasco peppers ( Capsicum frutescens var Clara reappeared, having seen everything and realized Doc was telling the truth, but nearly fell off the train. Doc managed to save her, with help from Marty's hoverboard (a piece of technology from 2015), but got left behind with Clara in 1885. A Hoverboard (or hover board) is a fictional hovering board used for personal transportation in the films Back to the Future Marty managed to get home, but the time machine was destroyed less than a minute after his arrival by a modern locomotive coming toward him, meaning he could not go back to rescue Doc and Clara from the past.
