Mike Wheeler

Michael "Mike" Wheeler, portrayed by Finn Wolfhard, is a main character in Stranger Things. The leader of the Party, he is the father of Sarah Wheeler, the boyfriend of Eleven, the best friend of Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, Will Byers, and Max Mayfield, and the younger brother of Nancy Wheeler. 
When Mike's best friend, Will Byers, mysteriously went missing, he and his other friends, Lucas and Dustin, made it their mission to find him. However, while searching for Will, they stumbled upon an escaped girl named Eleven instead. Mike soon discovered that she knew something about Will's disappearance and enlisted her help in finding him. During their time together, Mike and Eleven formed a strong bond and quickly grew to like each other. Once Will was found, Mike was happy that he had returned home safely; however, he was greatly devastated by Eleven's sacrifice to defeat the Demogorgon.
Still devastated by Eleven's disappearance one year later, Mike called for her every night while also assisting Will with a new supernatural issue. Eventually, he reunited with Eleven. He, along with his friends and Steve, then worked on burning the sprawling network of another inter-dimensional threat, using it as a distraction for Eleven to close the Gate for good. Mike later attended the Snow Ball dance with Eleven, which he previously promised her.
During the summer of 1985, Mike and Elevenwere nearly inseparable, even though Eleven's adoptive father, Hopper, disapproved. In an attempt to establish boundaries, Hopper scared off Mike and jeopardized the teens' relationship. Reeling from the fallout, Mike sought the comfort of his best friends, Lucas and Will. Upon learning that the Mind Flayer was still alive and had begun flaying to get revenge on Mike, Eleven, and their friends, he joined his friends to defeat it. Three months after Hopper's apparent death, Mike and his friends had to bid farewell to Eleven, and the Byerswho were moving out of Hawkins. Before leaving, Mike and Eleven made plans to visit each other at Thanksgiving while they also professed their love for one another.
By the spring of 1986, Mike was a dedicated member of the Hellfire Club, along with Dustinand Lucas. He headed to California to spend spring break with his girlfriend, Eleven, in her new town. Eleven had kept in touch with him through letters after she and the Byers moved away from Hawkins, and had told him that she was adapting to California. However, upon his arrival, Mike realized that Eleven had been lying to him and was struggling more than she let on. When Dr. Owens whisked her away to work on regaining her powers, Mike joined Will, Jonathan, and Argyle in chasing after Eleven. They found her just in time to witness her powers return, and later Mike encouraged her during her mind battle with Vecna, telling her that he loved her and couldn't lose her.
