2. Mike (Child's Play)
The Child’s Play franchise is full of kickass characters who pledge their lives to stopping the psychopathic Charles Lee Ray from reigning terror on his victims through the guise of a Good Guy Doll.
The central protagonist, Andy, is no stranger to these struggles and spends the best part of his life battling against Chucky, protecting his mother, his adopted family and unsuspecting friends from the dangers of their epic rivalry. But who can step in to help Andy whilst he’s still just an innocent child, and after he and his mother’s attempts to destroy the deadly doll once and for all prove exhaustingly tricky?
None other than Mike Norris, that's who, a seasoned detective from the Chicago Police Department who has been monitoring the family since the death of Andy’s babysitter. Having been the one to kill Charles Lee Ray (now Chucky) the first time round, he’s already informed with the crucial knowledge of their hideouts and helps to figure out Chucky's plans to transfer his soul into Andy’s body.
With the power of the police on their side, Mike and Karen rush home to prevent the ritual and are just in time to interrupt the transfer in its final moments. After taking a bat to the head and a stab injury to his leg, the valiant Mike is still able to land the fatal shots through Chucky’s heart that finally puts him down for good. Or so they think...
