Star Trek: All Strange New Worlds characters ranked from worst to best

1. Captain Christopher Pike

There he is!

Holding the helm with a charisma that’s out of this world, Captain Christopher Pike secures the top spot in our Star Trek: Strange New Worlds character ranking with the grace of a seasoned Starfleet legend. Portrayed with a magnetic blend of seriousness and warmth by the ever-absolutely-dreamy Anson Mount, Pike is the quintessential Starfleet captain: a beacon of moral fortitude and the personification of the phrase “to boldly go.”

His crew’s admiration is a testament to his leadership – a captain who navigates the unknown with a joke ready at his lips and a steadfast resolve in his heart. And, as you can see, enough hair product to last a lifetime. He doesn’t just rank number 1 when it comes to character – name one single character with better hair than Anson Mount’s Pike. I dare you.

Pike’s popularity isn’t just rooted in his command abilities or his warm, approachable demeanor – it’s also in his profound humanity. His powerful and constant awareness of his horrific fate 10 years into the future doesn’t harden him, it instead dictates every decision he makes with a depth of courage and existential weight that resonates deeply with the audience. Even love, one of the most human of emotions, can steer his steady course – revealing a man who lives as passionately as he leads. It’s this rich mix of heroism and human vulnerability, paired with Anson Mount’s

compelling performance, that solidifies Captain Pike not just as number one on our list, but as a character that embodies the enduring spirit of Star Trek.

As our ranking mission concludes, it’s clear that the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds isn’t just any crew. Each officer, with their quirks and mannerisms, has not only added a unique flair to the Star Trek universe but also etched a place in our hearts. Whether they’re solving space-problems or facing down new and terrifying enemies, they remind us that the true adventure lies in the strength of character and the bonds we forge along the way.

So, as the stars streak past and the credits roll, let’s salute these guardians of the galaxy (they’ve been those guardians since before Guardians was a thing) – not just for where they stand on our list, but for taking us on a journey that reminds us why we fell in love with Star Trek to begin with.
