Marty (Eon Kid)

"If I can't save someone who's close to me, how can I save the whole world?!"

- Marty in "To The Iron Tower"

Marty, is the main protagonist in the Eon Kid series. Being the current wielder of the legendary Iron Fist, he undergoes a long journey to eliminate the General, the main enemy of the Eon Family.

Description
Marty is a small, young kid with short, preppy brown hair. He wears yellow overalls with 2 long straps that extend over his shoulders. He wears also half-ripped blue jeans, carrying a small brown bag slung over his left shoulder.

Armor Description
Marty has the ability to don the armor of his ancestor Eon by willing The Iron Fist to do so. While wearing the Armor of Eon, he is completely covered in metal, having his torso and most of his body colored red, while the rest is covered in a silvery-gray.

Personality
Marty is daring, which often lands him in the middle of trouble. He can also get angry very easily when things do not go his way. In episode 18 (Out of Control), Scar reveals that he killed Marty's real father. This makes Marty tense and emotionally vulnerable enough to be taken over by the power of the fist, putting him into a sleepwalking state and causing him go out of control, attacking everyone and making him a threat to his friends.

History
Not much is known about Marty's early childhood. Being born into the Eon household, his father lost his life trying to save him when he was about a young baby. Being sent away, his step-father adopted him into a young boy, being a small, light-tempered boy with no education. Much later, he and his step-father travel from the desert using a heavy metal tractor, with a caravan attached to the back. Marty lives with his pet robot dog Buttons and his step father Charlie. He and Buttons found the fist of Eon during a search for robot parts. Marty discovers that he is the heir of Eon and gains training from Master Zhang in the house of Eon after fighting in a ring in Orange Valley.

Trivia

 * In episode 11 (Confronting Fate), Gaff calls Marty's father Eon. This statement is, however, inaccurate, as Eon lived 100 years before the show's events take place. It could be speculated however that Marty's father was also named Eon in honor of his ancestor although this has never been confirmed.
 * He had Buttons since he was a very young age.
 * His voice actor Aidan Drummond is the son of voice actor Brian Drummond who appeared in a dub of Dragon Ball Z, Krypto the Superdog and Dreamkix, another show made by DesignStorm Animation Studios who worked on the show.
