History Characters / BackToTheFuture

->'''Voiced in the Creator/TelltaleGames series by:''' Melissa Hutchison

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's very sweet and friendly, but he still has a hell of a right hook and won't hesitate to use it.

* TheAgeless: Doc looks exactly the same in the 50s as he does in the 80s. PlayedForLaughs when he undergoes an anti-ageing treatment that doesn't make a lick of difference.

* BigBrotherInstinct: He forms one over his own father in 1955, protecting him whenever he needs help. [[spoiler: Thanks to that and CharacterDevelopment on George's part, the latter becomes a better, more assertive person.]]

* PetTheDog: Biff seems genuinely happy that George got a novel published.

* TookALevelInKindness: It is possible that the altered Biff is a much nicer man, but it could be just an act.

* KickTheDog: Shooting a man dead in a fair duel is one thing. Shooting him dead after he's taken off his gun and wants to resolve the situation otherwise and gloating about it after? That's just low.

* KarmaHoudini: He ruins Marty's life on at least two occasions and doesn't suffer any consequence. Even when Marty doesn't take his bait, Needles is shown to avoid the collison with the Rolls Royce that would have injured Marty.

* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Like George 30 years later, Sam seems more interested in the TV than his family, even watching the exact same show even.

* FakeShemp: In the sequels, especially ''Part II'', where the audience never gets a clear view of his face.

* FakeShemp: In the sequels, especially ''Part II''.

** As is "Martin" the late brother of Seamus.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: He forgets to shut off the machines in his lab, resulting in a coffee maker with no carafe that squirts water onto an empty hot plate, a toaster that burns the bread to charcoal, and a can opener that dumps can after can of food into Einstein's overflowing dish. When the Libyans show up, he discovers too late that he has forgotten to load the revolver he brought for self-defense.

* TookALevelInBadass: His first appearance in ''Part III'' involves him rescuing Marty from being hanged by shooting the rope holding him up, then proceeds to get Buford and his goons to run off.

* MayDecemberRomance: Clara's in her thirties while Doc is in his sixties. Played with considering she was born a century before he was.

* TheBully: Pretty much the go-to example in film. Biff is this to George, Marty, and Lorraine. In fact, he likes to push around ''everyone''.

* {{Yandere}}: He's an ''incredibly'' unpleasant version of this trope to Lorraine: In 1955, he nearly rapes Lorraine at the prom, and in 1985-A he murders George and threatens to ruin the rest of Lorraine's children if she leaves him.

* AxCrazy: He's far more unhinged than Biff was and even quicker prone to violence. To quote Emmet, "he's got a few short circuits in his bionic implants." Best exemplified by his version of the "your shoe's untied" gag: while Biff would merely lightly smack the person in the face, Griff outright ''punches'' Marty Jr..

* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: Averted. He's down to the last few dregs of his hair in 1955 and completely bald in 1985. Played for laughs with his grandfather who had extremely long hair. He's shown to have a full mane of blonde hair in 1946 in "Biff to the Future".

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Despite his aversion to violence, he clearly enjoyed watching Marty kick Buford's ass. And gets a chuckle out of Buford's nosedive into the manure. Being [[FightingIrish Irish]], he clearly preferred GoodOldFisticuffs to gun violence.

* {{Pacifist}}: He hates fighting. Though as mentioned above, it seems more that he hates ''gun'' fighting and the pain and death that comes from it. Seamus seems perfectly satisfied, pleased even when Marty forgoes the gun in favor of just punching Buford out. He also doesn't seem to have an issue with fighting in self-defense or to protect others or when other options have been exhausted, as Marty was doing with Buford, and only hates seeing people fight solely to prove themselves as such an attitude is what got his brother killed.

* DumbBlonde: Though less than she initially seems, she's certainly no genius. For example, she pronounce renaissance as "Ren-nay-sauce".

* DumbBlonde: Though less than she initially seems, she's certainly no genius.

* SilverVixen: [[spoiler:She's Marty's paternal grandmother and she's [[BuxomIsBetter quite]] [[EveryoneLovesBlondes a]] [[HartmanHips stunner]]. At one point Marty even refers to her as a "hot babe."]]

!!Trixie Trotter/[[spoiler:Sylvia Miskin)]]

* LukeIAmYourFather:[[spoiler:She's Marty's paternal grandmother, "Grandma Sylvia".]]

The mayor of Hill Valley in 1985.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."''[[note]]Left to right: 1955, Twin Pine 1985, Lone Pine 1985.]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Beats up his bully Biff in a single punch.

* ScarsAreForever: In the game, [[spoiler:when trying to prove to his parents that he really is their son in an alternate timeline [[note]](as the Marty in ''that'' timeline has been run out of town)[[/note]]]] it's revealed that he has a scar on his left knee that he got in a skateboarding accident when he was twelve.

* MsFanservice: At least in 1955 during her rebellious days as wild girl.

* ReformedButNotTamed: In the first film, it's implied Biff is willing to stiff George on a waxing job (until George pushes the issue), and in the third film, he gets aggressive and yells Butthead at Marty when he thinks he's some stranger stealing his cleaning supplies. If Biff has genuinely reformed then it shows he still hasn't fully lost his edge.

* {{Gainaxing}}: If your proclivities lead you to be [[MyEyesAreUpHere mammarily distracted]], you might notice some slight... inertia.

* PlayingGertrude: Lea Thompson is just nine days older than Creator/MichaelJFox, and still portrays his fully-grown mother in the 1985 timelines. Though it does make perfect sense, as for most of the first film (intended as a one-shot story at the time) she's the same age as Marty. Stranger is that she's actually three years younger than Wendy Jo Sperber, who plays her teenage daughter in the film series, and four years younger than Marc [=McClure=], who plays her older son.

* PlayingGertrude: Glover is three years younger than Creator/MichaelJFox. Justified for the same reason this trope is listed in Lorraine's list.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the first movie, Marty's [[FakeDAngerGambit plan to pretend to be sexually assaulting Lorraine so George can save her]], doesn't go well because Lorraine actually ''wanted'' to jump Marty, and Marty got disgusted by it. It's only when Biff shows up and actually tries to rape Lorraine that George gets a real chance at saving the day and finally [[TheDogBitesBack standing up to him]].

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the first movie, Marty's [[EngineeredHeroics plan to pretend to be sexually assaulting Lorraine so George can save her]], doesn't go well because Lorraine actually ''wanted'' to jump Marty, and Marty got disgusted by it. It's only when Biff shows up and actually tries to rape Lorraine that George gets a real chance at saving the day and finally [[TheDogBitesBack standing up to him]].

* RunningGag: [[SharedCatchPhrase Shared with his brother]], a conversational gag that originated in the cartoon and carried over into the IDW comics:

Mother of Marty [=McFly=] and George's wife.

* TheAlcoholic: In the original 1985, she's a bit of a drinker to cope with her not-very-happy marriage, but she's worse in 1985-A to cope with the horror of being stuck with Biff.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Averted. She makes it quite clear that she has absolutely no interest in Biff. She's also repulsed when Dixon tries to dance with her.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Goes to almost StalkerWithACrush levels in the first film when she grows a lustful interest in Marty.
* AwfulWeddedLife: Her marriage to George in the original timeline is more than a bit strained, but her marriage to Biff in 1985-A is much worse.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Inverted. She hasn't aged well in the original 1985, due to her less-than-ideal marriage to George. In the altered 1985, Lorraine has a much healthier marriage to George, and has aged gracefully.
* BrokenBird: The Lorraine of 1985-A is a shattered woman, trapped in an abusive/loveless marriage to Biff, staying with him only so that her children can live in relative comfort.
* DamselOutOfDistress: It's revealed in the second movie that she delivered a GroinAttack to Biff when he tried to pressure her into going into the dance with him.
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: WordOfGod is that in the alternate timeline, Lorraine eventually snaps under the strain of Biff's abuse and shoots him dead in the 1990s (with the same revolver he used on George, no less). By setting the timeline right, Marty may have humiliated Biff, but he also saved his life.]]
* DomesticAbuse: In 1985-A, Biff has her husband killed and threatens her into an abusive marriage. He hits Marty on a regular basis, even when Marty isn't doing anything to antagonize him. It's implied Lorraine knows what he did to George and the only reason she doesn't leave is that Biff threatens to cut off her kids' financial support and make their lives hell. Then presumably she finds out that Biff made Marty jump off the roof of their home at gunpoint, even if it was part of Marty's plan.
* FanDisservice:
** Her interactions with Marty in the 1955 portions of the first film. She's a pretty, kindhearted young woman with a desperate crush on a boy... who happens to be her time-displaced son.
** 1985-A, where Biff made her get plastic surgery, has her wear lots of makeup, and dresses her up in expensive clothing. While other movies might play the {{Fanservice}} straight, the context behind it is what makes it unappealing, and only serves to show how horrible her life in 1985-A is.
* FormerTeenRebel: Has a very prudish attitude toward teenage sexuality as a parent, looking down on Jennifer calling Marty twice in one evening. However, Marty discovers firsthand that as a teenager, his mother smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, and fooled around with boys in parked cars. And basically semi-stalked the boy she liked, following him home. Then again considering how it worked out for her in that timeline it does make sense ''why'' she would be so prudish.
* GagBoobs: Biff-A made Lorraine-A get some by 1985-A; she doesn't enjoy them.
* GotOverRapeInstantly: [[spoiler:George ends Biff's sexual assault against Lorraine after which point she immediately appears infatuated with George and the assault is never again mentioned or addressed.]]
* GuessWhoImMarrying: Biff in 1985-A. Much to Marty's horror. Subverted in that the marriage was obviously forced, and Biff is abusive to the [=McFlys=].
* HappilyMarried: In the altered timeline, her marriage with George is ''much'', much healthier.
* HasAType: Lorraine says outright that she prefers men who have a spine and can stand up for themselves and others. She's unhappy with George being a doormat in the original timeline, is attracted to "Calvin Klein" because of his boldness in standing up to Biff, and finally falls in love with George when he saves her from Biff and Dixon.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: With George, even in the unaltered timeline where their marriage is rocky.
* IWasQuiteALooker: Very much. She's somewhat plain and a bit drunk and prudish at the start of the first film, so Marty is shocked by Lorraine's real attractiveness when he meets her in 1955. She ages much more gracefully in the "improved" 1985 that Marty returns to in the first film.
-->'''Lorraine:''' My name's Lorraine, Lorraine Baines.
-->'''Marty:''' Yeah... but you're ho... you're so h... you're so... thin!
* LadyDrunk: In the original 1985. Even more so in 1985-A. [[spoiler: And in the Citizen Brown timeline in the game.]]
* LongingLook: Throws them at Marty hard after they met.
* MamaBear: [[spoiler:A deleted scene from the second movie shows Old Biff collapsing and disappearing shortly after coming back to 2015. It is heavily implied (and later said by the producers) that by 1996, Lorraine just had enough of Biff and his threatening her children and [[LaserGuidedKarma shot him with the revolver Biff used to kill George]].]]
* MsExposition: In Part I, she tells the story of how she and George first met, which later influences most of the plot. In Part II, her 2015 self talks about Marty's problem with being called "chicken" and how it led to a car accident in the past (which comes into play in Part III).
* MsFanservice: At least in 1955 during her rebellious days as wild girl.
* NeutralFemale: Averted, more or less, during the final confrontation with Biff. After pleading with Biff to leave George alone, she does make an effort to rescue him, but Biff responds by simply pushing her onto the ground. It's not particularly spectacular or feminist, but she probably did all she could without having WaifFu.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The 1985-A Lorraine was modeled after various female televangelists from TheEighties, particularly Tammy Faye Meissner (aka Bakker).
* NoDoubtTheYearsHaveChangedMe: The difference between the Lorraine of 1973-A and 1985-A is downright jarring.
* ParentalIncest: Has a crush on Marty in the first film - much to his horror. Becomes a major problem. However, she doesn't know that Marty is her future son and she seems to back off after she kisses him, describing it like her feeling like she's kissing her brother.
* PlayingGertrude: Lea Thompson is just nine days older than Creator/MichaelJFox, and still portrays his fully-grown mother in the 1985 timelines. Though it does make perfect sense, as for most of the first film (intended as a one-shot story at the time) she's the same age as Marty. Stranger is that she's actually three years younger than Wendy Jo Sperber, who plays her teenage daughter in the film series, and four years younger than Marc [=McClure=], who plays her older son.
* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: Lorraine is 16 years older than her youngest sibling Joey (plus another unnamed Baines sibling born in 1956).
* QuickNip: Has a flask with her when she and Marty are "parking" before the HighSchoolDance. Marty is concerned as he sees her future LadyDrunk persona emerging.
* SeeminglyWholesomeFiftiesGirl: Played this trope straight to a tee in her youth. At 17, she drinks, smokes, and "parks" with boys casually. In the original, unaltered 1985, she [[BlatantLies falsely]] insists to her kids that she was a genuinely wholesome 50's girl.
* {{Tuckerization}}: The original script called her Eileen. Her name was changed at the insistence of {{Creator/Universal}} boss Sidney Sheinberg, who wanted her named after his wife, actress Lorraine Gary of ''{{Franchise/Jaws}}'' fame.

Father of Marty [=McFly=] and Lorraine's husband.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Even he can't help but laugh when Biff's gang makes fun of Marty's jacket, which they think is a life preserver.
* BadassBookworm: What he becomes after his confrontation with Biff.
* BerserkButton: In issue 3 of [[ComicBook/BackToTheFuture the comic book]], 1958!George hates it when you call what he writes "sci-fi," which he equates with "cheap junk." He writes "science fiction."
* BewareTheNiceOnes: After decking his lifelong tormentor, George becomes one that you do ''not'' want to mess with.
* BumblingDad: In the beginning of the first film, he is this to a tee. Technically, he's not necessarily stupid, but he's too lacking in confidence to put his intelligence to use, being used to being bullied by Biff and essentially being cared for by Lorraine.
* ChivalrousPervert: Earlier on in the movie, in 1955, he's spying on Lorraine through the window as she undresses (Marty: "He's a Peeping Tom!"). However, his fire is lit if you try to touch Lorraine inappropriately. It drove him to overcome his insecurities and stand up to the person who has bullied him his whole life by punching him out, saving Lorraine from AttemptedRape in the process. After he has saved her, he asks if she's okay, and helps her up to her feet. His chivalry is what makes him win her heart. When Marty returns to the "corrected" 1985, George's follow-up to Marty's incredulous observation that Lorraine is "thin" is to pinch her butt, showing he's ultimately still this trope.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: The 1985-A George, who was murdered by Biff so [[MurderTheHypotenuse he could marry Lorraine]].
* {{Determinator}}: In the improved timeline, he kept trying for almost 30 years to get his first novel published, [[EarnYourHappyEnding until he finally succeeds]].
* {{Deuteragonist}}: For the first film. Marty has to teach George to stand up for himself and others, and the entire third act falls on George's shoulders as his choice to stand up to Biff and Dixon determines whether or not Marty lives or dies. After that Marty only has to worry about being able to go back to 1985 when the clock tower is stopped.
* EatingLunchAlone: George sits by himself at the cafeteria during lunch in 1955, writing ideas for his stories.
* ExtremeDoormat: He refuses to stand up to Biff until he TookALevelInBadass towards the end of the first film.
* FakeShemp: In the sequels, especially ''Part II''.
* FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin: It may not be particularly noticeable most of the time due to clever camera work and tech, but the shots with George in ''Part II'' that aren't stock footage are played by Jeffrey Weissman.
* ForWantOfANail: In the bad 1985 timeline, he dies because Biff has him killed for petty reasons. Biff shot him personally and used his contacts with the police to cover up the crime.
* GrewASpine: Him standing up to Biff is a critical moment that fills him with self-confidence and he no longer allows himself to be bullied afterwards. When Dixon tries to muscle in on dancing with Lorraine, George initially is unsure what to do, but when it looks like Marty is done for and is about to cease to exist...
--> '''George:''' Excuse me! ''[shoves Dixon down and takes back his girl]''
* HappilyMarried: He and Lorraine are very happy together after Marty fixes the time stream.
* KickMePrank: George is the victim of a kind cruel prank when some of Biff's friends tape a sheet of paper with the words "KICK ME" on it on his back.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Beats up his bully Biff in a single punch.
* LovableNerd: A nerd who is more comfortable watching or writing sci-fi than he is with social interaction and who takes notes on what to say to the girl he likes. As he introduces himself to Lorraine as her "density", she seems amused by it. This probably would've succeeded if Biff hadn't shown up.
* MostWritersAreWriters: He writes little sci-fi stories and makes it big in the good timeline.
* NerdsAreSexy: Even after the big 1955 makeover, he's still a bit of a nerd (he did, after all, write and publish what appears to be a pretty hardcore sci-fi novel). However, unlike before, he's an attractive and self-confident nerd rather than a stereotypical nerd.
** Even before, Lorraine admitted that George was plenty cute, but his spinelessness and lack of self-confidence turned her off.
* ThePeepingTom: The then-teenage George [[NaughtyBirdwatching spies on Lorraine undressing from a tree next to her window with a pair of binoculars]]. This becomes a crucial plot point as this is the point where Marty alters history. When George falls out of the tree, Marty pushes him out of the way of an oncoming car... accidentally preventing his parents' original meeting. For an idea of how it originally happened, imagine Marty's actions that night at the dinner table with George in place of Marty.
* ParentsAsPeople: In the original timeline, he is a loving father, but they seem to care for him more than he does for them.
* PlayingGertrude: Glover is three years younger than Creator/MichaelJFox. Justified for the same reason this trope is listed in Lorraine's list.
* StereotypicalNerd: In the original timeline, George is a meek and introverted office worker who wears NerdGlasses, has slicked down, side-parted hair, wears a button down and tie with a pocket-protector. When Marty goes back in time, he realizes that his dad has always been this way, on top of being an ExtremeDoormat and a BullyMagnet who is picked on by Biff and struggles to talk to his crush Lorraine. This does change though as Marty teaches George to stand up for himself.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When he [=KO=]s Biff with that Haymaker, he recoils in pain briefly. Punching someone in the face can actually be very painful due to hitting the skull, and his incredible fury at Biff might have dampened but not entirely removed the pain.
* TookALevelInBadass: Marty basically helps him rise to this point. As soon as Lorraine is shoved to the ground by drunken Biff, the fire is lit.
* UnskilledButStrong: He has less combat skill than a street punk. That said, he can throw a haymaker strong enough to knock out the much larger Biff in one hit.
* YouLeaveHimAlone: Enforced by Marty, who comes up with a plan to get George on Lorraine's good side. When it turns out to be Biff instead, George still doesn't back down.

->'''Played by:''' Michael J. Fox
->'''Dubbed in French By:''' Creator/LuqHamet
An American settler who immigrated from Ireland, husband to Maggie [=McFly=] and brother of Martin [=McFly=] with a strong aversion to gun violence.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Despite his aversion to violence, he clearly enjoyed watching Marty kick Buford's ass. And gets a chuckle out of Buford's nosedive into the manure. Being [[FightingIrish Irish]], he clearly preferred GoodOldFisticuffs to gun violence.
* DoesNotLikeGuns: While he uses a rifle for hunting, Seamus otherwise has no regard for weapons or the idiotic macho attitudes they encourage. When Marty tosses him his gun at the end, Seamus says he plans to trade it for a new hat.
* EurekaMoment: Oddly enough, Marty exclaiming that Buford was "an ''asshole''!" was one for Seamus. He realized that "Clint" finally understood he didn't have to fight everyone who goaded him into it.
* NiceGuy: He decided to help Marty, a stranger he barely even knows, and helps him move past his need to prove himself.
* {{Pacifist}}: He hates fighting. Though as mentioned above, it seems more that he hates ''gun'' fighting and the pain and death that comes from it. Seamus seems perfectly satisfied, pleased even when Marty forgoes the gun in favor of just punching Buford out. He also doesn't seem to have an issue with fighting in self-defense or to protect others or when other options have been exhausted, as Marty was doing with Buford, and only hates seeing people fight solely to prove themselves as such an attitude is what got his brother killed.
* PapaWolf: Despite his wife's objection, Seamus has a strange feeling that he should help Marty, not knowing that the young man is actually his descendant. He also repeatedly tries to convince Marty not to fight Buford.
* RedOniBlueOni: He was the Blue to his brother Martin's Red; Seamus is someone who dislikes fighting and prefers talking things through while Martin was a hothead whose repeated attempts to prove he wasn't a coward got him killed.
* SoProudOfYou: He's clearly delighted to see Marty finally realize that Tannen is an "asshole" and that he doesn't need to prove his courage to Tannen or anyone else.
* StealthMentor: Seamus is able to change Marty for the better, preventing him from taking reckless actions just because someone calls him a coward [[spoiler:such being goaded into a drag race by Needles]]. Part of it is that he was traumatized by his brother (ironically named Martin) being in exactly the same situation and getting himself killed because of it.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: He strongly resembles Marty, due to both being played by Fox.

* FashionableAsymmetry: His left sleeve is noticeably longer than his right due to a broken wrist cuff preventing the size adjust from working properly. In general he doesn't appear to really mind this, indicating he gives little thought to his appearance.
* GenerationXerox: While he physically looks exactly like his father did at his age, personality-wise he's far more akin to the 17-year-old version of George.
* OhCrap: He has this reaction in the roughly three seconds between him suggesting that he ask his father whether to get involved in the robbery, and Griff beating him to a pulp.
* TheScapegoat: Almost certainly the reason why Griff and his gang enlist him for their robbery, as he's such a klutz that he gets caught when things go wrong.
* SmarterThanYouLook: He somehow recognizes the younger Jennifer as his mother.
-->"Nice pants, mom."
* StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks virtually identical to his father, which comes in handy when the 1985 version of Marty Sr. needs to impersonate him.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His getting arrested and then handed a lengthy prison sentence, along with his sister's getting an even longer sentence for trying to bust him out -- and presumably also Marty Sr. getting fired from his job -- ends up tearing the [=McFly=] family apart.

->'''Voiced in the Creator/TelltaleGames series by''': Michael J. Fox
Seamus and Maggie [=McFly's=] Irish-American son and Marty's great-grandfather who played a role in Hill Valley's development.
----
* BigDamnHero: [[spoiler:In 1931B, William arrives just in time to help Mary and Doc when Mary Pickford, aka a time displaced Edna Strickland, held the two at gun point.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Greatly resembles his father and descendant, due to all three of them being played by the same actor.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:The fate of the 1931B William is unknown as he is last seen holding off Edna and allowing Doc and Marty to escape. Then again, even if he dies, this timeline is erased at the end of the game]].

->'''Played by''': Creator/GeorgeDiCenzo (Sam) and Frances Lee [=McCain=] (Stella)
-> '''Dubbed in French by''': Creator/JeanPierreMoulin (Sam) and Arlette Thomas (Stella)

Lorraine's parents and Marty's maternal grandparents. They are seen only in 1955, leaving it unclear whether they are still alive in 1985.
----
* HappilyMarried: They argue a bit but in an affectionate way. We certainly get no sense that they're dissatisfied with their lives, as we do with George and Lorraine in the original 1985.
* {{Housewife}}: Stella seems to be a pretty typical 1950s housewife. As of 1955, she has cranked out five kids and appears to be pregnant with a sixth.
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Like George 30 years later, Sam seems more interested in the TV than his family, even watching the exact same show even.
* ShoutOut: Stella is named after Stella Kowalski from ''Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire'', just so that Sam can yell "STELLA!" as a Creator/MarlonBrando reference.
* StandardFiftiesFather: Sam is clearly based on this trope, albeit he's a bit more grumpy than when it's played totally straight.

Son of Sam and Stella Baines.
----
* AscendedExtra: Heck, he's an ascended ''offscreen character.'' He was briefly mentioned in the first movie when Lorraine's celebration of his return from prison was cancelled because he was denied parole. In the comics, an entire arc centers around the question of what put him in prison to begin with, and its effects on the family are explored in more detail.
* CoolUncle: Before he was arrested, he and Marty were very close.
* HonorBeforeReason: Refused to give away [[spoiler: Biff Tannen and his friends]] to get himself out of trouble, although it means he has to serve a 15-year sentence.

Hill Valley's eccentric scientist, inventor of the [=DeLorean=] time machine and Marty's best friend. He goes along with Marty in all of their adventures through time, fixing any changes to the timeline caused by time travel.
----

* ExtremeDoormat: He is often pushed around by Biff until he TookALevelInBadass towards the end of the first film.

* StereotypicalNerd: In the original timeline, George is a meek and introverted adult who wears NerdGlasses, has slicked down, side-parted hair, wears a button down and tie with a pocket-protector. When Marty goes back in time, he realizes that his dad has always been this way, on top of being an ExtremeDoormat and a BullyMagnet who is picked on by Biff and struggles to talk to his crush Lorraine. This does change though as Marty teaches George to stand up for himself.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When he [=KO=]s Biff with that Haymaker, he recoils in pain briefly. As he was previously a noncombatant, his knuckles were, presumably, not previously toughened up, and his incredible fury at Biff might have dampened but not entirely removed the pain.

* HiddenDepths: Old Biff is a grouch, but he remembers the manure incident with amusement. This implies he did mature a little bit.

* OlderAndWiser: 2015 Biff. He formulates a surprisingly effective plan to make his past self rich, ''after'' listening to Doc talking about the risks of meeting an alternate self, and even figures out how to make the time machine work. [[spoiler:The plan, however, firmly wipes out his OlderAndWiser trait by having his 1985-A self retain a childish temper and ultimately die well before 2015, thereby erasing old Biff from existence until Marty sets things right.]] He's also become more amused than annoyed over the "manure" incident and is clearly ashamed with how much of a blockhead his 1955 self is.
