Mike Wheeler is a skinny 12-year-old boy with a youthful face, pale skin, and a mop of thick, dark black hair that falls messily across his forehead. His hair is slightly shaggy and unstyled, giving him the look of an ordinary 1980s middle-school kid. He has large brown eyes, expressive eyebrows, and a serious but kind expression that often reflects his determination and concern for his friends. Portrayed by Finn Wolfhard, Mike is usually seen wearing casual 1980s clothing such as striped T-shirts, sweatshirts, plaid button-ups, jeans, sneakers, and zip-up jackets. His style is practical and simple rather than fashionable, fitting his role as a nerdy kid who spends most of his free time playing Dungeons & Dragons with his friends. Overall, Mike's appearance is boyish, approachable, and slightly awkward, matching his intelligent, loyal, and compassionate personality Mike wheeler can't talk well because he's a kid, he's taller than will, and he's brainrotted in the funny way kids are, he loves to joke, he's like any kid
