[edit] Biography

Cody lives with his mother Carey Martin and twin brother Zack Martin in a suite on the 23rd floor of the Tipton Hotel in Boston, where his mother works as the headline singer. He is shown as more clever than Zack and sometimes even Carey. (Example: In one episode it was revieled that he does her taxes)

Cody is forced into Zack's schemes, i.e. dressing up as a girl for money in The Fairest of Them All and pretending to be Zack for a dance competition in Footloser. Cody has shown interest in many things, including magic tricks, mime, baking, dance, mathematics, and cooking. He is also interested in becoming a Supreme Court Justice and a hockey player. He likes to carry "Blanky", a security blanket, around with him for security and comfort. He briefly ceased having Blanky in Cody Goes to Camp. Cody has an astigmatism, as stated in Big Hair and Baseball and Risk It All.

Cody has shown interest in girls, but less so than his twin brother. Cody also becomes frightened more easily than Zack in "The Ghost of 613", except in the episode "Scary Movie", where Zack is more scared from the movie they watched than Cody. He is better academically than his brother. Though Cody is generally nicer than Zack, he has been mean to his brother in some episodes (i.e. French 101, The Ghost of 613, Heck's Kitchen, Scary Movie, etc.), and has shown signs of a mean streak such as fake crying shown in French 101. Cody often looks down on Zack and expresses belief that he is superior, at least academically, to his brother. By extension, Cody occasionally says that he thinks Zack will end up in jail, which has nearly happened on two occasions. His meanness is primarily sibling rivalry and Cody would never do anything to actually harm Zack. He simply believes in tough love for his brother. However there are times when he tends to be a control freak, such as Band in Boston. However there are times when Zack dominates him as in Moseby's Big Brother.

Cody has shown a manipulative side. Some examples are on French 101 with his fake crying and on Scary Movie where he manipulates Janice and Jessica into holding him at the movie theater.

Cody is not always as nice as he sounds. In the episode French 101, he starts to say to Zack "I am going to kick your ---!" but Mr. Mosbey interrupts, saying, " Derriere" just before he can say the last word, resulting in Cody saying, " That too!"

While he is not as much of a troublemaker as Zack is, Cody also has his share of troubles he created, although he usually does not mean to make trouble. For instance, in the episode Pilot Your Own Life his advice caused Maddie and London to fight over who would be the best fashion designer and it has also made employees at the Tipton, like Estaban and his mother not to show up for work and pursue their dream careers thus causing some disruption to the Tipton's operations.

He usually tends to dress neatly and carefully, such as wearing a sweater vest. Unlike Zack, Cody is preppy. Cody enjoys miming, but is not good at it. He is very skilled at cooking. He played the keyboard for the band Rock Squared, as shown in Band in Boston. He is also a pretty good cook as seen in the episodes, Heck's Kitchen, Cookin' With Romeo and Juliet, and Birdman of Boston. He is sometimes manipulated by Zack to cook for money.

[edit] Trivia

• Cody's favorite subjects are Math and Science.
• He is the editor in chief of his school newspaper.

[edit] Relationships

• Cody has had relationships with several girls but is not quite the smooth talker his brother is:
  • In "Twins at the Tipton", it is revealed that he used to have a girlfriend named Irma, but she dumped him and formed a relationship with her camp ex-boyfriend Joaquín. Later on in the episode, twins Jessica and Janice (Rebecca Rosso and Camilla Rosso), help him get over it, much to Zack's dismay as he was hoping to have a good time with Jessica at least. The girls also appear in several more episodes, Ask Zack, Loosely Ballroom, Scary Movie, Birdman of Boston, and Lost in Translation.
  • In "The Fairest of Them All", he falls for beauty pageant contestant, Rebecca (Victoria Justice) and falls into a series of misadventures to get close to her.
  • In "Crushed", he avoids an obsessive girl named Agnes (Allie Grant). She later turns her attention to Zack (that episode and "A Midsummer's Nightmare").
  • In "A Midsummer's Nightmare", his girlfriend Gwen (Selena Gomez) dumps him after one day of dating when her character Hermia in the Shakespeare play in A Midsummer Night's Dream kisses Zack (Lysander). It gets more complicated as Zack's real love interest, Vanessa (Gage Golighty), shows a romantic interest in Cody.
  • In "French 101", both he and Zack have an interest in the French ambassador's daughter Jolie (probably the first time they liked the same girl). However Bob ends up with the girl.
  • In "Miniature Golf", he and Barbra Brownstein go out on double date with Zack and Ella at a Minature Golf Course. In the end they go the Library as study date.
