Marty McFly

Marty McFly was a character in the Back to the Future series of films that the Tenth Doctor once used to illustrate the theory of infinite temporal flux to Martha. In the film, McFly "began to fade" out of existence as changes were made to his personal family history. This, the Doctor suggested, was indicative of the general malleability of time — and of what would happen to Earth's future if he and Martha could not stop the Carrionites in 1599.

Joel Mintz encountered a time rift which transported him from 1993 to 1983. He said he felt like Marty McFly when it came to TV reruns: "I've seen everything before." (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad)
