Mike Wheeler

Personality:   Personality and Traits Mike is shown to be optimistic, morally compassionate, and highly committed to his friends, usually going to great lengths to help them. His D&D role as Dungeon Master suggests that he, like Will, is a creative thinker. Out of the four boys, he is the most emotionally open and rather gullible, being willing to accept fantastical explanations behind complex situations. After Will disappeared, he quickly drew a parallel to Will's defeat at the hands of the Demogorgon. After witnessing Eleven's psychic powers, Mike became faithful to the idea that she could help find Will. While his friends were initially skeptical about Eleven, Mike wholeheartedly trusted her to guide them and even developed a close relationship with her. Mike's slightly unorthodox approach led him to connect some of the dots explaining the mysterious Upside Down. Mike has a high level of selflessness, shown strongly when he was willing to jump off a cliff to protect Dustin (before Eleven came to rescue him). Additionally, Mike displayed strong morale and courage when he confronted Troy about his joke of Will's presumed death, showing just how much, he cares for his friends. Even after Will was saved, Mike perceived that Will was struggling due to his connection with the Upside Down and tried to help him.. STATUS: Alive BORN: April 7, 1971 AGE: 12 Years old.

OCCUPATION: Student at Hawkins Middle School (1982-1985) PHYSICAL INFORMATION HEIGHT: 5'5" (166 cm) EYE COLOR: Brown HAIR COLOR: Dark Brown History Background Born April 7, 1971,[1] Michael "Mike" Wheeler was the second child and the only son of Ted and Karen Wheeler. His older sister is Nancy Wheeler, born in 1967. The family lived in a culdesac in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. On the first day of kindergarten, around 1976, a lonely Mike saw a boy named Will Byers on the swingset. Mike asked if he wanted to be his friend, and Will happily agreed. Soon after, Mike's neighbor Lucas Sinclair joined his friend group. At some point the boys began playing Dungeons & Dragons, referring to their games as "campaigns". Nancy participated in their campaigns, dressing up as an elf for their Eldertree campaign, though this stopped by 1979, most likely due to Nancy getting older. In 1980, Nancy and Mike got a baby sister named Holly. That same year, the boys befriended Dustin Henderson, who had recently moved to town. The four boys would often gather to play Dungeons & Dragons in Mike's basement. They had a great relationship with their science teacher, Mr. Clarke, and were members of the AV Club which he ran. The boys participated in the annual science fair and won almost every year except 1982. Mr. Clarke said their loss that year was "political". 1980 On September 1, Mike and Lucas were being chased by bullies, using their bikes to outrun their pursuers. They eventually ended up hiding in a book shop where the owner was displaying miniatures from the battle of Waterloo and a new game called Dungeons & Dragons. Mike and Lucas became excited about the game, quickly telling Will Byers about it when they got to his house. They quickly took several books out of Will's house and piled it onto their wagon, intending to exchange it as trade for the D&D books that would allow them to play the game. On their way to the shop, the three were chased down by the bullies which forced Lucas to start hurling romance books at them as Mike continued to pull the wagon. During the encounter, Mike accidentally let go of the wagon, causing it to slide down and cover the books in mud. As a result, the three had to work hard to convince the shop owner to give them a basic starter set for D&D while agreeing to take away the books from the shop. That night, the three played the game at one of their houses, becoming obsessed with it. 1983 The campaign On the evening of November 6, Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Will played Dungeons & Dragons in Mike's basement. Mike, acting as Dungeon Master, summoned a Demogorgon, which ultimately defeated Will's character, although Will did not reveal this to Mike yet. Mike saw Dustin and Lucas bickering on whether Will should fireball or cast protection, and when will fireballed, the dice went missing, and the campaign was interrupted by Karen, who told him to go to bed as it was 15 after. When Mike argued for 20 more minutes, Karen reminded him that it was a school night and could finish on the next weekend. When Mike told her, that would ruin "the flow" and that he had to plan his campaign for two weeks and that he had be playing for 10 hours, Karen expressed shock to this, and when he attempted to negotiate with his dad, he reached no avail, causing his friends to go home. After Lucas and Dustin left, he revealed that his roll was a 7 and that the Demogorgon got him, and told him, he'd see him tomorrow, before biking home. Searching for Will The next day, Will did not show up to school, which perplexed Mike, Lucas, and Dustin. After class, Mike asked Mr. Clarke if the ham radio arrived, to which, he told him it came, and showed it to them. As they played with Mr. Clarke's Heathkit Ham Shack, they were summoned by Principal Coleman to talk with Chief Hopper who told the boys that Will was missing. He asked the boys about Will's route home, and they told him Will took the road where Cornwallis and Kerley met. The boys casually referred to this road and the surrounding forest as Mirkwood. The boys investigated their friend's disappearance that evening. Despite heavy rain, they searched Mirkwood. They encountered a wet, shivering and scared young girl wearing a big Benny's Burgers t-shirt. The boys brought the girl to Mike's basement where Mike asked her if there was a number that they call for her parents and if she was in trouble, while Lucas and Dustin asked more personal and inappropriate questions. Mike told them to stop scaring the girl and that she was just cold and scared before, he provided the girl with clean clothes. When she was about to change clothes in front of the boys, and told that she can change in the bathroom with privacy and, when he was about to close the door, she told him, "no" and realized that she could talk and told her that, he was going to leave the door a few inches open. After arguing among themselves on what they should do about the girl, Mike reached a compromise with the boys that, if they tell their parents about her, they would not be able to find Will and that she would pretend to arrive at their doorstep, which would prompt Karen to manage her. After the boys, who were suspicious and doubtful of the girl, went home, Mike allowed her to stay in his basement. Mike made a pillow fort for the girl to sleep in and asked her name, causing her to reveal the tattoo on her left forearm. However, Mike did not criticize her for having the tattoo and instead asked what the tattoo "011" meant, causing the girl to point to herself, revealing her name to be Eleven. Mike suggested that he can call her El, for short, which El nodded to, before introducing himself as Michael "Mike" and wished her goodnight before covering the fort with a bedsheet and going to bed. Mike skipped school the next day to take care of El, providing her breakfast as well as showing her around his house. El recognized Will from a photograph and told Mike that bad people were looking for her. After school, Dustin and Lucas came to Mike's house. They discussed Eleven and what could have happened to Will. Lucas said that they should tell Karen about Eleven. El used her powers to prevent Lucas from opening the door to leave. Later that evening, El attempted to explain Will's situation; she flipped their Dungeons & Dragons board upside down and then placed Will's player piece on top followed by the Demogorgon piece. This gave Mike, Lucas, and Dustin a vital clue about what happened to Will. The following morning, Mike, Lucas and Dustin decided to meet El after school and commence "Operation Mirkwood". They would use El to lead them through the woods to find Will. Before leaving, Mike gave his watch to El and asked her to meet them at 3:15 pm. After school, the boys met El and then the group looked for Will. They eventually arrived outside the Byers house, where El said Will was hiding. This statement confused the three boys because, logically, Will could not be there. After seeing police cars race by, they followed on their bikes. They saw Will's corpse being dragged out of the local quarry. This caused the boys to feel distraught. Mike thought Eleven had misled them to believe Will was alive. Mike rode home in tears and was comforted by his mother. Later, in the basement, Mike grieved Will's death as he looked at Will's drawings. As El tampered with his radio, Mike angrily berated her and accused her of lying to him about Will's well-being. Mike said that Lucas was right about El. Suddenly, Mike heard the sound of Will's voice over the radio, quietly singing. This was a result of El using the Supercom and her powers to contact Will. Mike realized Will was still alive, which El confirmed was true. The next day, Mike told Dustin and Lucas that he had heard Will's voice on the radio. The other boys were skeptical. The boys decided to take El to their school so she could use the Heathkit to communicate with Will, which was much more powerful than the Supercom. After dressing Eleven in a pink dress and blonde wig to help her blend in, the boys took her to Hawkins Middle School. The met Mr. Clarke in the hall near the AV Club room. Mr. Clarke told the group that they must attend a memorial assembly for Will before they could use the radio. During the assembly, the bully Troy made crude jokes about Will, which enraged Mike. After the assembly, Mike shoved Troy, causing Troy to fall. Troy attempted to attack Mike. Eleven froze Troy in place and made him urinate on himself, much to the amusement of the boys and their classmates. The boys and El then used the Heathkit. With El using her powers to contact Will. They overheard Will talking to his mother through a temporary portal to the other dimension. The radio overheated and caught fire. After returning to Mike's basement, the boys theorized that Will was stuck in the Vale of Shadows, a "dark echo" dimension of death and decay, which El labeled the Upside Down. After Will's funeral, the boys discussed the possibility of alternate dimensions with Mr. Clarke. He described scientific ideas and concepts, utilizing the metaphor of the flea and the acrobat. He mentioned that a gate between dimensions would have adverse affects on the electromagnetic field in their dimension. Later that day, Dustin experimented with a compass, noticing that the needle did not point towards true north. The boys guessed that there must be a gate nearby influencing the electromagnetic field, like Mr. Clarke had said. The group followed their compasses believing it would lead to the Gate. However, Eleven manipulated the compasses to lead the boys away from the Gate because she considered it too dangerous. When the boys realized that El had been leading them away, they argued about her motives. Mike was more sympathetic and trusted her, while Lucas was critical of her manipulation. The two boys fought. Eleven used her powers to throw Lucas off Mike and into the air, injuring him. This angered Mike and made El upset. She left while Mike and the other boys were not looking. On the run A rift grew between Lucas and the two other boys as they continued to argue about Eleven. Mike and Dustin went in search of El, while Lucas attempted to once again find the Gate. While Mike and Dustin searched for El, they were ambushed by a revenge-seeking Troy and his best friend, James, who both had knives. They were chased to the top of the cliff overlooking the quarry. Troy threatened Mike by telling him he would cut out Dustin's teeth unless Mike jumped from the cliff. Mike decided to jump. As he did, Eleven intervened. Using her powers, she levitated Mike back to safety. She used her powers to break Troy's arm and pushed James to the ground. The bullies fled in terror. El fell to the ground due to exhaustion. Mike bent over her and asked if she was okay. El apologized and stated she was the monster for opening the Gate. Mike comforted her, saying she was not the monster because she saved him. Mike, Eleven and Dustin then reconciled, sharing an embrace together before returning to Mike's house. They were observed by an agent from Hawkins Lab as they entered Mike's house. Lucas warned Mike, Dustin and El over the radio that the 'bad men' where coming. The three fled Mike's house on bicycles. They reunited with Lucas nearby. As the agents were closing in on them, Eleven used her powers to throw a van over the kids' heads. This opened an escape route and blocked the road behind them. The group escaped and evaded Dr. Martin Brenner and the agents of Hawkins National Laboratory. Mike and Lucas then reconciled. The group hid from agents in an abandoned bus in the junkyard. Chief Hopper found them and took them to the Byers house to meet with Joyce, Jonathan, and Nancy. El attempted to use her powers to locate Will and Barb, but was unsuccessful. El stated that she could contact them, using the "bath". Together they broke into the middle school and created a makeshift sensory deprivation tank for El to use to enhance her psychic abilities. El determined Barb was dead, but that Will was barely alive in the Upside Down. Showdown with the Demogorgon Hopper and Joyce left to infiltrate the laboratory. Nancy and Jonathan left to set a trap for the Demogorgon. The boys and Eleven remained alone at the school. Mike talked to El about their future life together. He invited El to be his date to the Snow Ball school dance. When he explained the Snow Ball, El didn't understand that people go with "someone that you like". In order to help her understand, Mike kissed her, revealing his feelings for her, and El accepted his invitation. As part of an agreement with Dr. Brenner to gain passage through the Gate, Hopper revealed El and the boys' location. Agents went to the school, capturing El and the boys. Eleven killed most of the agents using her powers to crush their brains. This drained her of energy and caused her to collapse. Without her protection, they were captured by Dr. Brenner and several soldiers. The Demogorgon, attracted by pools of blood spilling from dead bodies, burst through the school wall. The surviving agents and soldiers were distracted. El and the boys escaped. The three boys took Eleven and ran to Mr. Clarke's classroom. Mike tried to comfort El by promising that he would go to the Snow Ball with her. The Demogorgon broke in and attempted to kill them. El intervened using her powers to pin the Demogorgon against a wall while also throwing Mike backwards to prevent his intervention. El looked back at her friends and told Mike goodbye before turning to face the Demogorgon. She used the last of her remaining power to disintegrate the Demogorgon, but she also disappeared. Mike was left in tears as the boys frantically looked for her in the classroom. After being unable to find Eleven, Mike was reunited with his parents and returned home where he was interrogated by government agents through a window, refusing to give any information on Eleven. Then, Mike saw a silhouette, similar to Eleven at the window. His reaction alerted the government agents and they went outside to investigate. Mike, Dustin, and Lucas visited Will in the hospital when he regained consciousness. The three of them were overjoyed to see him safe and sound. They told Will about all the events which transpired in his absence. Missing Eleven In the days that followed, Mike spent a lot of time at his home's basement, sitting in the tent and waiting around with his walkie-talkie, waiting for any sign from Eleven. He continued to visit Will every day while he was in the hospital, but when Will was finally released to go home, he along with his friends were temporarily forbidden from seeing him. On November 26, Steve and Nancy looked in on Mike who was in tears. Seeking to distract Mike from his worries, they asked how Will was doing as well as the mechanics behind Dungeons and Dragons. December One month later, the four boys once again played Dungeons & Dragons. Mike summoned the Thessalhydra, but this time his friends' characters triumphed over the enemy. Will was picked up by his brother Jonathan to go home. Lucas and Dustin play-fought. Mike missed Eleven and looked back longingly at her old pillow fort, which he had kept in perfect condition.
