Line 22:
*** Plus when he returns to the future he finds that he inspired his future dad into publishing a sci-fi novel. Guess what the alien on the cover looks like.
** In the Telltale game, Doc gets in on the act when he uses the pseudonym "[[Carl Sagan]]". Marty can elect to call himself one of three things, chosen by the player: [[Miami Vice|Sonny Crockett]], [[Dirty Harry|Harry Callahan]], or [[The Godfather|Michael Corleone]].
** In the fifth episode, {{spoiler|First Citizen Brown tells Edna that Marty's real name is [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You|Yakov Smirnoff]], and when Edna is forced into the past, she assumes the alias [[Golden Age of Hollywood|Mary Pickford]].}}
* Inverted and subverted by ''Time After Time'', where H.G. Wells comes to the present [1979] and assumes the name "[[Sherlock Holmes]]", mistakenly thinking that the fictional character would be forgotten in the future.
** Plus, due to not many people knowing what "H.G." stands for, he's nicely able to fit in just by using his real name, Herbert Wells.
