I think there may even be a better explanation for the two Marty's then so
far suggested (and one with some strange consequences).

First we have Marty v1.0 who grew up with his nerdy father and fat mother.
In 1985, he is sent back in time to 1955 by the profesors time machine.
While there he screws up time in such a way that he creates an alternate
future (after 1955) with a different Marty (v1.1).  When he finally returns
to 1985, he actually returns to Marty (v1.1)'s timeline and not the original
one.  He gets there just in time to see Marty v1.1 head of into the past
and Marty v1.0 now has to live in the Marty v1.1's timeline.  However, when
Marty v1.1 goes back in time, he too screws up the timelines to create
(get this) Marty v1.2

This continues on and on, constantly creating new Marty's until one of them
somehow prevents his next regeneration from going back in time, or until one
of them screws up time so much that the next Marty down the line is never 
created (ie he failed to get his parents together).
