- "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[source]
Philip Joe Fry II (born April 21, 2003 - May 8, 2100) was the first man on Mars, also known for his fantastical good fortune. He is Fry's nephew.
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, after he discovered it in Fry'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's home planet. The reason he is so lucky and famous is that his father, Yancy Fry Jr., named him after his uncle and presented him with Fry's lucky clover. When Fry learned the true secret to his history he didn't want to take the clover from his grave anymore.
In Bender's Big Score
In Bender's Big Score, he makes an appearance as young boy who tells Bender that Philip J. Fry I went to the North Pole. Rather than actually directing Bender to Fry (who was currently frozen in the cryogenic tube), Philip J. Fry II pointed Bender in the direction of the Paradox-duplicate of Fry, who would later take up the identity of Lars. He looks something like his uncle, and has a similar attitude to him (repeatedly insulting Bender, however this ceased after he took out a rather large Ray-Gun) 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 "'s head" to their name once they are preserved in this manner which could explain the grave.
