Halloween: Everything You Need To Know About Michael Myers

5. He Isn't A Team Player

Michael Myers is distinctly a solo act.

Several times throughout nearly every timeline, Michael has proven time-and-time again that he is not a team player. In the original film, a host of patients from Smith's Grove got out of their cells because of Michael's actions but he did not help any of them escape once he stole Marion Chambers' car.

In Halloween 5, after a poor hermit has been taking care of a nearly-dead Michael for a full year, he awakes and murders the hermit.

And in Halloween 6, even after the Cult of Thorn has broken Michael out of prison and revealed their plans to them, he begrudgingly allows them to think they're in-control for a little while, only to then massacre every last one of them in the film's final act.

More recently, even Zombie's Halloween films recemented the idea that Michael is a lone wolf. During Michael's time locked up at Smith's Grove in this timeline, Danny Trejo's security guard Ismael Cruz, befriends him at a young age. However, when Michael inevitably breaks free and Ismael begs for his life, Michael shows no mercy and kills him just as brutally, if not more so, than everyone else.
