Doc Brown
In the
Back to the Future films,
Doc Brown, played by
Christopher Lloyd, is the inventor of the
DeLorean time machine. Emmett L Brown was born in
1920 in
Hill Valley, Califonia and at age 11 discovered the works of
Jules Verne. This led him into a career in science, and in
1955 he came up with the idea of the
flux capacitor after slipping from his toilet and bumping his head. The flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible. Doc finally finished installing his time machine in a DeLorean sports car in
1985 and with his friend
Marty McFly, the two have embarked on a series of adventures to 1955,
2015, an alternate 1985, and 1955 again where the DeLorean, with Doc inside, got struck by lightning and was accidentally sent back to
1885. It was here that Doc met his future wife, Clara Clayton, whom he now currently resides with in the Old West with their two sons Jules and Verne.
