"Philip J. Fry II: Astronaut, philanthropist, entrepreneur; was a great man truly worthy of narration. Fry was the first man on Mars... a feat that has never since been equaled."

―Anonymous film narrator

Philip J. Fry II (born April 21, 2003 - May 8, 2100) was the first man on Mars, also known for his fantastical good fortune.

He was the son of Yancy Fry, Jr. and his wife making him Philip J. Fry's nephew. He was the grandson of Yancy Fry, Sr. and Mrs. Fry. He was the great-grandson of Mildred Fry as well as Mr. and Mrs. Gleisner. He was also the great-grandson of Fry but believed his paternal great-grandfather to have been Enos Fry.

His fantastic good fortune is accredited to his possession of a seven leaf clover. While the clover was originally found by his uncle, it was given to him by his father, Yancy Fry, Jr. after he discovered it in Philip I's copy of The Breakfast Club Soundtrack while looking for music to clear out the reception hall after his wedding.

History

At a young age, he made his fortune after striking oil in the bathroom of the mansion he had won in a lottery. After a "whirlwind fling" with Icelandic supermodel, Njörd, his band Leaf Seven had scored a string of top-ten hits, who were known for their "hypnotic rhythms, driving baselines, and memorable hooks". He was the first man on Mars, Amy Wong's home planet.  

Originally, he would never meet his uncle though this changed due to the events of Bender's Big Score in which the time paradox duplicate of Philip 1 that would eventually become Lars Fillmore was around for twelve years before returning to the future. It is unknown if he was given the clover but it is likely he was given by his uncle rather than his father. It also unknown as to what his relationship was with the latter.

In Bender's Big Score

During Bender's Big Score, he makes an appearance as a young boy where his father tells him Bender is at the door to see him. Philip II greets Bender asking the robot if he is made of tinker toy while Bender wonders if he got taller after twelve years of searching for Fry until the latter's nephew insulted him, however, this ceased after the robot took out a rather large Ray-Gun and threatened him. Scared, Philip J. Fry II then told Bender Bending Rodríguez that he was actually looking for his uncle Fry who went to the North Pole which was unknowingly sending Bender in the direction of the Paradox-duplicate of Fry, who would later take up the identity of Lars Fillmore instead of the original Fry (who was currently frozen in the cryogenic tube).

Personality

He looks something like his uncle, as well as possessing a similar attitude to him as he was amazed by Bender at first before repeatedly insulting the robot.

Legacy

Philip II's grave would later be visited by his uncle who believed his brother Yancy Jr. used his clover to become rich and famous. Determined to get back his clover, he went to the space grave yard and dug up the grave where he found out that the grave was not his brother's but his nephew who was named after him. Upon learning this, Fry realized the true secret to his history and now knowing that someone from his time did miss him when he disappeared decided he didn't want to take back the clover and placed it back in his nephew's grave.

Trivia

• While his grave was shown as Fry attempted to retrieve his lucky clover but the body was never shown leading some fans to speculate if his head had been preserved. It is unlikely but not impossible as famous people tend to add "their heads" to their name once they are preserved in this manner which could explain the grave.
• Due to his namesake uncle becoming his own (Fry's) grandfather (thus Philip II's great-grandfather), Philip J. Fry II is not only the son of Yancy Fry, Jr. but also his great-great nephew. Likewise, he is not only the grandson of Yancy Fry, Sr. but also his first cousin.
• Because it is unknown whether Yancy Fry, Jr. had any more children other than Philip J. Fry II, it may be safe to assume that he is the long distance grandfather to Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth.
  • But even so, whether Njörd is actually part of the family tree or not has not been disclosed.
    • It is very possible she is Philip J. Fry II's wife.
  • Due to Fry and Leela's marriage in "Meanwhile", Philip II is also the in-law relative to the Turanga family (alongside with his parents, Yancy Fry, Jr. and his wife; his paternal grandparents, Yancy Fry, Sr. and Mrs. Fry;his paternal great-grandparents, Mildred and Enos, and his paternal great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Gleisner).
    • Philip J. Fry II is not only the nephew of Philip J. Fry and Turanga Leela (Fry's wife) but also their (step in the case of Leela) great-grandson.
