==Biography==
In the beginning of the first film of 1994, When Heather Watkins was closing up B. Dalton's, he wished her good night. Despite being at the mall, he managed to survive Heather's friend Ryan Torres's killing spree. However, he was arrested by Sunnyvale sheriff Nick Goode for vandalizing the mall, which he did not do, but Nick showed him that they were spray cans in Martin's bag, to which Martin responded that somebody must have planted them there.
After being handcuffed at the police station, he encountered three others in the station, Deena Johnson, her brother Josh, and her girlfriend Samantha Fraser. He asked Josh for help out of the handcuffs, and although Josh was reluctant at first, he helped him out of the handcuffs. A thankful Martin then gave Josh his business card for whenever he needed his help with anything.
In Fear Street: 1666, While he was at his home, he noticed a cop car pulling up in front of his house. Thinking the police were here to arrest him, he shouted at them saying he wasn't doing anything, but then realised that inside the car were Deena, Josh, and Ziggy Berman, the survivor of the 1978 Camp Nightwing Massacre, asking him for help to kill Nick.
When they arrived at the mall, Martin showcased the mall's security system. When Martin was skeptical of what was happening, Josh showed him a possessed and tied-up Sam, prompting him to believe what was happening. While looking through Nick's bag for supplies, he noticed the spray cans, making him realise that Nick had framed him. In front of the tree where Sarah Fier, who was thought to be the witch that cursed Shadyside, was hung, Deena gave Ziggy, Josh and Martin a speech on how they were going to stop the curse that night. They then started setting up the traps around the mall in order to trap the killers in the shops, then pour Deena's blood onto Nick, causing the killers to be attracted to him.
Martin hid with Ziggy, and she told him to stay quiet at she knew someone had come, but it was Officer Kapinski, who found the both of them and asked them to stand up, while Deena and Josh were found by Officer Kuzio. While Kapinski was trying to contact the station, one of the killers, Harry Rooker, snuck up behind him and stabbed him through the back, alerting Officer Kuzio. While Martin and Ziggy fled, Kuzio attempted to kill the killer by shooting him, but an unfazed Harry Rooker walked up to him and stabbed him to death, while Martin panicked and Ziggy tried to calm him down. Ziggy then told him to stay still, telling him that since he was not their target, he would not be killed, before running away.
Martin stayed still while Harry Rooker walked right past him, after which a breathed a sigh of relief. When Harry walked into the store, Martin closed down the store's shutters, trapping him, while Ziggy and Josh trapped three other killers, Ryan, Isaac Milton and Thomas Slater. When they regrouped, the noticed that the killers had stopped trying to break out, and realised that Nick had arrived. Ziggy then left to pour the blood on him. However, the plan went awry when some of the blood got onto Ziggy, causing the killers to target her as well.
While Ryan attacked Nick, Harry attacked Ziggy, prompting Deena to use a knife to cut her hand to attract the killers away from Ziggy and Nick. While Deena ran after an escaping Nick, Martin used a chair to beat Ryan, and ran into the store along with Josh and Ziggy and closed the shutters, protecting them. They then poured blood onto the killers so that they would fight each other to death, but two more killers, Ruby Lane and Billy Barker, showed up. They tried to spray more blood, but realised that they had ran out. Martin suggested waiting it out in the store, but Josh convinced them to protect Deena. While Ruby attacked Josh, Ziggy shot Ruby. However, the killers started to reanimate while Ziggy ran out of bullets. As they were cornered by the killers, Deena killed Nick, causing all of the killers to disintegrate, saving them.
Later, Martin went to Josh and Deena's school where he showcased a machine to students that they could play their songs on, but they thought that it was like a radio and that it was too big.
