Sleepover Suite, & is shown to have an acting ability. In addition to vocal ability, Cody plays the French horn & the violin. In contrast to Zack, Cody is closer to his mother & heeds her advice. He has a great fear of horror movies, however, it was Zack rather than Cody who was more frightened by Zombie Mam. In Season 1, Cody tends to be as much of a troublemaker as Zack. As the show progresses, his character develops into a type who generally only gets in trouble by mistake or (more often) due to Zack's influence (although he is not perfect, & sometimes makes mistakes of his own, without Zack's influence.) Additionally, Cody is often the victim of various sight gags (which range from humorous to sometimes traumatic). Some examples include being pushed in horse feces, getting trampled, & being frozen in ice (which he does not remember). In "Big Hair & Baseball" it is revealed that he has astigmatism. In "Neither Borrower or a Speller Bee", it was revealed that his (& probably Zack's) blood type is AB Negative. Cody is often shown wearing boxer shorts. Both himself & Zack are frequently shown arguing, disagreeing & sometimes fighting in both series, however the twin siblings both share a platonic relationship with each other. He is also very nice but has tried to be a bit mean like his brother. He loves to cook & show his feelings to everyone. He also likes hugs from his gym teacher.

Intelligence
Throughout the series, Cody has shown to be very intelligent, constantly besting Zack in anything that has to do with school or facts. This is shown many times as Zack usually has Cody do his school assignments & homework. He is also seen to have more common sense than his brother, usually thinking things through before doing them. His smarts, however, sometimes tend to either annoy or bore the people around him. Some of his theories are real like the Galapagos Gerdy, although Cody never new it was really real.
Strength
Though Zack is known to be the more physical twin, moments have been shown to speculate that Cody may be, deep down, stronger than his brother. In The Ghost of Suite 613 he is able to repeatedly smush Zack. Also in The Suite Life on Deck's "It's All Greek to Me" Cody is able to lift a glass case no one else could. In Shipnotized he can rip a towel into two pieces when angry. Cody even sacked Kurt Warner in Any Given Fantasy.

Also, in "That's So Raven" he & Zack make up a rap for Carey on her birthday. In "Lip Synching in the Rain" his singing has gotten him the part of Troy Bolton in his school's play "High School Musical."

The Suite Life on Deck
In The Suite Life On Deck, Cody holds on to the same general personality he had in the original series. In the progression of the series, the twins became closer. While at school on board the S.S. Tipton starting with the episode "Broke 'N' Yo-Yo". Cody becomes the ship's towel boy to earn money after Zack maxes out both of their student cash cards on non-essential items, particularly food and gifts for girls Zack was interested in.
Cody Martin in The Suite Life On Deck.
He began to have a competitor in school, Bailey Pickett, who had a more stunning entry essay into Seven Seas High then he did, as mentioned by Ms. Tutweiler in the pilot episode "The Suite Life Sets Sail". He had a crush on Bailey for the entire first season, although initially after finding out that Bailey, who masqueraded as a boy due to the fact that Seven Seas High had no openings for female students, was a girl in the pilot episode. Both Zack & Cody were interested in Bailey until Mr. Moseby revealed in the following episode "Parrot Island" that Bailey had yet to get over the breakup of her relationship with a boy named Moose (later played by Hutch Dano in the episode "Mulch Ado About Nothing"). This prompted Zack to let Cody pursue her, though Zack said to him in the episode "Flowers & Chocolate", "You two [Cody and Bailey] wouldn't have heat if you were in a sauna... that was on fire... in a volcano... on the sun!" That same episode, he & his then-girlfriend Barbara Brownstein (Sophie Oda) broke up after telling Barbara that he had a girlfriend, claiming Bailey was the girl in question, though this was after he found out Barbara started dating his & Zack's friend Bob (Charlie Stewart), apparently starting their relationship within hours of Zack & Cody's departure from Boston on the S.S. Tipton to attend Seven Seas High.
Cody tried to pursue Bailey several times throughout the first season of the series, most notably in the episode "International Dateline," when he planned on telling her how he felt @ a school dance on the ship which was thwarted by Zack, London, Woody, Mrs. Pepperman (who thought that she was going to a karate class which was to be held in the same room as the dance) & repeatedly thwarted by a supernatural event upon the ship's crossing into the International Dateline which caused Cody to relive the previous few hours in time a la Groundhog Day; & as revealed in the episode "It's All Greek to Me", even devising a six-month plan to win her heart, though she was virtually oblivious to this. In the season one finale "Double Crossed" (part of the Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana crossover special), after Hannah Montana gives Cody tickets to the concert in Hawaii, Bailey kisses him on the lips, starting their relationship. Then in season two's "The Spy Who Shoved Me", it is revealed that when Cody lies, his nose crinkles. Also in "Lost at Sea", Cody goes behind Bailey's back on a decision while the group is lost at sea & only ends up with Bailey breaking up with him as a result. After some advice from Zack, he gets her back & turns out to be the hero by figuring out a way off the island: use all of London's clothes to form a balloon which they then used to fly back to the S.S. Tipton. He and Bailey get back together @ the end of the episode, though they break up again during a marriage project for school in the episode "Marriage 101", getting back together again later on. Also in "Marriage 101", Bailey's nickname for Cody is Cody Kitten & his nickname for Bailey is Bailey Bunny and Zack responds to that by saying they should be spayed & neutered.
In "Break Up in Paris", Cody & Bailey, (after experiencing a misunderstanding) have a major argument between each other that eventually concludes with the pair agreeing on ending their romantic relationship with each other.
Cody is proven to have a Swedish background, in the episode "The Swede Life", where it is shown that Zack and Cody's ancestors come from Sweden. He originally intended to attend Harvard, however he had a bad encounter with the Dean of Harvard, as he helped to lie when Zack dated the Dean's daughter. Later on, he made a new decision to attend Yale with Bailey, as he said in the episode "The Defiant Ones". It was revealed in "Rollin' with the Holmies" that Cody is a big fan of Sherlock Holmes & is the president of the Boston "Sherlock Holmies." According to Zack, Cody has a( 5.0 grade point average). He is also an avid environmental activist, often noting many environmental hazards around them; even once going so far as to take a stand as towel boy & enforce a one towel per customer policy.

He can go to that school that "sounds like a big fish," Yale, & it is thought that Cody now wants to go to Yale, since in one episode he told Bailey, "We're supposed to get into Yale together, but what if you get in & I only get into Princeton?! Princeton!"
