4. Captain Christopher Pike (USS Enterprise)

Appeared in: Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

And in the fourth spot, we have our lovely and very charming Captain Christopher Pike. Now, some of you might remember him as that dashing captain who appeared even before Captain Kirk in The Original Series pilot. But let’s be real for a moment – back then, he was more of a teaser than a fully realized character. He left many of us wanting to know what much more about his backstory and motivations.

Fast forward to Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and our wishes have been granted. Pike’s back, and he’s so much better-looking got layers upon layers of character development for us to peel one by one.

Thanks to these two incredible shows, we’ve had a delightful dive into the depths and nuances of his character, showcasing him as more than just a passing face from the pilot episode. From his leadership style to his moral dilemmas, Pike has transformed from an unknown we were curious about to a captain we can all rally behind.

With time, Pike could climb even higher on this list but for now a place just shy of the Top 3 seems most fitting.
