Mike Haggar is one of the protagonists of the Slam Masters and Final Fight series.
<tabber>
|-|Slam Masters=
His known story begins in the troubled times when the Capcom Wrestling Association was being torn apart by an inner power struggle meant to decide who will lead the organization. Haggar was one of the potential champions who fought to reach the top, and eventually confront the former head of the CWA, Victor Ortega. The winner remains unknown to this dat, but after the tournament Haggar left the organization and became the mayor of Metro City.

The Mad Gear Gang, the criminal organization which pulls the strings of Metro City, tries to buy the newly elected Haggar's allegiance, like they did with his predecessors, but for the first time the mayor rises against them. In turn their leader orders the kidnap of Haggar's daughter, Jessica, threatening her life if the mayor didn't stop opposing their plans. Unable to abide to such request, Haggar joins forces with Cody, Jessica's boyfriend, and his pal Guy, to save their loved one and rid the city of the Mad Gear.

Some time after the events of the previous game, the remains of the Mad Gear started regrouping under a new leader, and expanded their business worldwide. Once Cody and Guy left the city, the criminals struck again, this time kidnapping Guy's fiancèè, Rena, and his father, trying to re-establish their control over Metro City, believing that Haggar alone couldn't stop them. With a turn of events, Haggar, now accompanied by Maki, Rena's sister, and Carlos, an old friend of Guy and Cody, depart on a journey around the planet to vanquish all the remaining Mad Gear cells.
|-|Final Fight 3=
With the Mad Gear disbanded once and for all, Metro City seemingly saw a period of peace. However, unbeknownst to everyone, a former division of the Mad Gear, the Skull Cross Gang, slowly managed to rise to the top of Metro City's underworld and finally decided to make their move and conquer the metropolis. Haggar is now followed by his old friend Guy, the detective Lucia and the former street fighter Dean, once again battling for the future of their home and loved ones.

By this time, Haggar's terms as a mayor has ended and his place at the lead of Metro City has been taken by Cody, who had recently been released from prison. Little is known about Haggar's current life, although he still provides help to his friend, such as Lucia, and makes occasional appearances in CWA matches against or together with current stars like Zangief, R. Mika and Nadeshiko.

Intelligence: Gifted (Haggar is mostly known for his skill in combat and politics. He had a glorious career in pro wrestling that made him a seasoned fighter. He was one of the few CWA main eventers who could aspire to claim the title of the undefeated champion Victor Ortega, and in this period he faced many opponents with unique and/or odd fighting styles, abilities and equipment, sometimes battling them unorthodox stages, such as floors made of ice or with chains instead of ropes. Governed Metro City well for a full term as its mayor. Annihilated huge criminal organizations such as the Mad Gear (twice) and the Skull Cross, with only a few peers by his side, travelling across every corner of Metro City and even chasing them around the world. During his three main adventures he went through entire hordes of enemies, which included several types of thugs, soldiers and martial artists of all size and shape, often armed with knives, swords, guns, explosives and other weapons. His travels also led him to battle in a pletora of locations, ranging from standard urban areas and buildings, to places such as the inside and the top of speeding trains, paths filled with traps, tight spaces such as elevators, worksites and mine fields. Is rather ingenious and can use throw and use weapons such as knives and swords with certain proficiency despite not being familiar with them, and also pick up objects like pipes and lumbers and turn them into effective tools for combat)
Weaknesses: None notable.
Notable Attacks and Techniques:
Haggar's fighting style is centered around powerful blows and crushing slams taken from professional wrestling and pure brawling, often enhanced by utilizing stage elements such as ropes, fences and turnbuckles. Haggar is also incredibly agile for his size, knowing a variety of dashing, running and flying attacks that carry all the weight of his mighty muscles.
His signature and most devastating technique is the Spinning Piledriver, with which he brings the opponent high into the sky, whirls furiously to build momentum and then drives them down through the floor.
Haggar isn't wary of fighting dirty either, and will eagerly stomp on downed opponents, toss them against wall, objects and explosives, target weak spots such as the head and utilize weapons (his favourite being the pipe and the 2x4), especially if his enemies are the punks he deeply hates.
