Biff H. Tannen is a fictional character in the Back to the Future films — he acts as the town bully and opposes the hero of the series, Marty McFly. The role of Biff Tannen is played by Thomas F. Wilson.

Biff was born on March 26th, 1937 in Hill Valley, California, and lives with his grandmother, Gertrude Tannen at 1809 Mason Street in Hill Valley — the fate of his parents is unknown. He isn't very bright and only gets through school by bullying George McFly to do his homework for him. Biff is noted for malapropisms: for example, he thinks the saying is "make like a tree and get out of here" instead of "make like a tree and leave."

Biff had to repeat a year of high school, thus explaining why he was in the same year as George and Lorraine Baines McFly, despite being a year older than them. Biff is feared by most of his schoolmates. He is less brave when he is without his gang. He also has a crush on Lorraine and constantly refers to her as "my girl." Lorraine does not return the sentiments.

By 1985, Biff was still bullying George, only as his supervisor rather than the school bully, and still lusting after Lorraine, who had married George. However, things changed when the McFlys' youngest son, Marty McFly, accidentally traveled back through time to 1955 and interfered with his parents' first meeting. Marty, using the anachronistic name " Calvin Klein," also managed to get on the wrong side of Biff, and this led to Biff finding and trying to get his way with Lorraine. George came and knocked Biff out to save Lorraine. When Marty returned to 1985, he found George was now much more confident and Biff now owned an auto detailing business.

Biff is still waxing cars by 2015, at the age of 78. When he heard that Doc BrownBack to the Future characters Doc Brown is a fictional character central to the Back to the Future movies created by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Doc Brown who was portrayed by Christopher Lloyd, is the inventor of the De Lorean time machine in which he had invented a time machine, he stole it and went back to 1955 with a sports almanac to give to his younger self.

Young Biff used the sports almanac to bet on horseraces, since he now knew the results. Biff soon became very rich and powerful and on March 15March 15 is the 74th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (75th in Leap years). There are 291 days remaining.

This version of reality was erased when Marty and Doc went back to 1955 and got the almanac from Biff before he could use it, so the series has now gone back to a timeline where Biff Tannen is waxing cars.
