The characters inStranger Thingsall have something very pregnant that they bring to the table when it comes to facing off against government conspiracy and interdimensional demonic entity .
But , when it comes to their single capabilities , plain some characters are more open than others too . So when it do to top executive , tiptop or otherwise , where do all of the master quality ofStranger Thingsrate ?
update on July 6th , 2022 by Hilary Elizabeth : Now that the quaternary season of Stranger Things has come to its hell - on - earth ending , some characters have proven their talents and skills more than others . to reflect the evolution of all of the show ’s major players , this article has been update to let in their most late achievement .
Eddie Munson
Eddie was undoubtedly one of the most fun additions toStranger Things 4 , and it ’s grievous that he wo n’t be returning for the 5th and final installment of the series . It ’s a disgrace that Eddie did n’t have the Satanic powers that Hawkins conceive he did , because he might have survived the Upside Down otherwise .
Eddie may have been endearing , but he clearly was n’t cut out for the world of the supernatural , as the first time that he settle to actually place upright his groundagainst the Upside Down ’s brute was also his last .
Steve Harrington
As far as evidence badasses in theStranger Thingsworld go , while Steve does give it his good travail , he ’s not winning any prizes for it anytime shortly .
He ’s ready to conform to any position and also fast to feather up to any danger that he receive , but to put it bluntly , most of the minor in the serial publication are unspoilt at handling pinch situations than he is . His power to cope has gotten well over meter , but he ’s still playing sitter for a reason .
Dustin Henderson
All of the kids in the party have a spate to offer up when it come up to scarey situations , and there is n’t one of them that ca n’t obtain their own against some earnestly brawny people or things .
But Dustin is a force to be estimate with because he has faced down a Demogorgon , the government squad that was coming after El , and a caboodle of Russian operatives that were attempting to reopen the dimensional logic gate . He ’s not quite up to sniff in comparability to some others , but when direct into condition that he ’s a powerless child , he ’s exceptional .
Lucas Sinclair
Lucas has never been afraid to face off against people and existence much more powerful than he is , and his cultism to keeping Max and Eddie alive in season 4 really showed what Lucas is capable of on his own .
Whether it was an evil spider - man - demon or a dimwitted athlete with a severe lawsuit of Satanic affright , Lucas square up against some of the scariest force that Hawkins had to tender and came out at least semi - victorious .
Max Mayfield
When it came to the supernatural goings - on in Hawkins , Max was usually just along for the ride , and not by her own selection .
She was admirably a drive - or - die booster , but time of year 4 really enable her to come into her own and show what she was made of . And while Max might not have any great power , her force of mind allow her towithstand Vecna ’s attacks more than any of his three anterior victim . As far as regular humans go , Max is an absolute badass .
Mike Wheeler
While Mike is n’t favorable enough to have literal superpowers like El , that does n’t mean that he is n’t highly strong and capable in his own right hand .
Everyone in their friendship group helps , but Mike is really the innovator when it comes to protect El and fight back against the evil thing and faint government activity organizations that come after her . He generally manages to operate circles around some very grave adult , whether it ’s his parent or government agent .
Nancy Wheeler
At first sight , Nancy perfectly does not seem like the kind of person who would willingly face off against anyone , whether it ’s her sexist foreman or a bloodthirsty freak . But when the going gets tough , so does she . When facing down a Demogorgon , everyone would want someone like her in their corner .
She not only masterfully investigates what occur to Barb , figures it out , and actually makes her way to the Upside Down , but she also clearly holds her own against this super dangerous wight that has invade the human property . And , her confidence and capacity has only grown since .
Jim Hopper
Like most of the lineament , Jim Hopper does n’t actually have any superpowers . But with that said , he is a effect to be reckoned with , and he has a lot of connections , talents , and science that come in incredibly handy when thing bulge get unsafe .
He ’s smart , a very capable fighter , and can very easily hold his own against anyone from exceptional agents to extraneous operatives to literal interdimensional monster . Although Joyce had to recently come to his rescue , it ’s not heavy to ideate that Jim would have eventually made his way out of a Russian prison with or without her .
Joyce Byers
Maybe it ’s just parental intuition , a desperation to have hope even if it ’s a legitimate farsighted shot , or an unusual willingness to think in the eccentric , but whatever makes Joyce Byers who she is has also made her into an daunting and savage fighter .
She connects with Will from a unlike dimension and manages to keep El anchored when she goes exploring in the ethereal woodworking plane , so whatever mojo Joyce has , it ’s something powerful . Plus , although she began the story as arguably one of the least intimate or machine-accessible mass , she has not only risen to the social function , but she has outshone many of the other characters when it comes to what she ’s been able to carry through .
Will Byers
Will Byers has have thing that no little boy should ever have to witness . But on the plus side ( if it can actually be considered a positive side ) , it seems like his experiences in the Upside Down have awaken some latent psychical mogul within him , and he can sense many things that others ca n’t .
He was able to convey with his mommy from the Upside Down , and he seems to have some kind of " true great deal " that permit him to see into the other world . And the fact that he managed to even survive the Demogorgon and the Upside Down in the first place despite being a young Thomas Kyd when so many others have been destroyed by it is shocking .
