Mike

Mike was a camper on Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, as a member of the Mutant Maggots. He returned as a camper for Total Drama All-Stars, as a member of the Heroic Hamsters, and was one of the finalists of the season. His evil personality, Mal, was the main antagonist later in the season.
== Personality ==
Mike is a nice, well-meaning teenager. However, he suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), also known by the outdated term, Multiple Personality Disorder, as it is called in the show. This causes other alters to front instead of him in certain situations, leaving him with no memory of what has happened. According to Mike himself, his condition has caused him much strife in the past. This contributes to him refusing to tell the other contestants about it at first. He instead chooses to be known as an overly dedicated actor/comedian. However, in many instances, he finds his claims falling apart. This is especially so when dealing with his crush and future girlfriend, Zoey. He appears to be at peace with it by Total Drama All-Stars, not as hesitant to announce when another alter is going to front.
The Final Wreck-ening shows that Mike actually deeply cares for his other personalities, despite finding them troublesome with their unpredictable behavior, and he is far from elated at the idea of getting rid of them. Mike's own demeanor is kind, cheerful, and upbeat, but he is also awkward, meek, hesitant, and secretive. He will not admit to things unless directly confronted, but even then he is reluctant to do so. He loves action movies and sports, particularly ultimate kickboxing. His biography hints that he may volunteer to help other young people, and develops positive relationships with them. Mike is extremely protective of Zoey and earns a reputation as not being harmful to anything or anyone. He tends to care about people even at the risk of losing the game. As a result of his kindness, the others refuse to believe he is of any threat when certain campers warn of the danger amongst them.

=== Miscellaneous ===
* Mike suffered from a condition called Dissociative Identity Disorder, previously known as "Multiple Personality Disorder", causing him to share a body with other alters. He also doesn't know what the alters have done when he isn't fronting.
** According to Terry McGurrin, Mike would have been handled much more accurately to said disorder if he was written in 2023.
* While sleeping, the alters shift of their own accord, without the use of triggers.
* Mike is the first contestant on Total Drama: Revenge of the Island to use the confessional.
* Mike gets rid of his alters in The Final Wreck-ening. However, he gains their skills and abilities, as he uses both Vito's strength and Svetlana's athleticism during the final challenge.
* Mike is only one of two male contestants whose main swimsuit includes a shirt, with the other being Brick.
** This is likely to keep Vito in check.
* According to Fresh TV's Tumblr, Mike is Italian. This makes him one of the few contestants to have their ethnicity confirmed and the first to be Italian, the second being Lorenzo.
* Originally, while recording of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island was underway, Mike was supposed to shake whenever different alters fronted, but Cory Doran and the writers decided to have Mike gasp sharply every time he switched to make it clear for the audience that someone else was fronting.
* According to Julie Giles back in 2014, it's doubtful Mike will ever return to Total Drama, noting back then that at least he wouldn't come back until after a couple of post-Total Drama All-Stars seasons.
