'''Michael''' "'''Mike'''" '''Wazowski''' is the deuteragonist of [[Monsters, Inc.]], and the main protagonist of [[Monsters University (film)|Monsters University]]. He is [[James P. Sullivan|Sulley]]'s former rival and best friend.
   
  +
==Bio==
−
Around the age of five, Mike attended school as one of [[Karen Graves]]' students. However, Mike had trouble fitting in with other kids at a young age; often, at school, he had trouble acquiring a partner whenever necessary. During a class trip to [[Monsters, Inc. (company)|Monsters, Inc.]], Mike snuck into a door while the class was observing scarers at work, and watched admiringly as [[Frank McCay ]]scared a child. Though McCay initially scolded Mike for his action, he was impressed at the fact that he didn't know Mike was even in the room. Frank gave him his hat as a souvenier, and since that day, Mike strived to become a scarer. However, other kids often picked on him for this dream, due to his lack of scariness.
  
  +
Mike is [[James P. Sullivan|Sulley]]'s scare assistant on the [[Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor]]. The two are also best friends, as well as roommates. He has a lot of friends at work, but there are some who do not like him, such as [[Roz]] who constantly is pressuring him about giving her his paperwork. He is in a relationship with [[Celia Mae|Celia]], who calls him "Googley Bear."
−
===College===
  
−
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-09-07-07h24m24s152.png|thumb|200px|Mike meets Randy]]Mike was accepted into [[Monsters University (Institution)|Monsters University]] around the age of twenty, much to his excitement. Upon Mike's arrival, many staff members and other students greeted him, and Mike happily listened as he was introduced to his college life. He was assigned a dorm room with [[Randall Boggs]] as his roommate. The two immediately became fast friends, and enjoyed hanging out with each other.
  
   
  +
In Monsters, Inc., Mike is Sulley's best friend and working partner at [[Monsters, Inc. (company)|Monsters, Inc.]]. He is supporting Sulley about being the number one scarer, and both are enemies with [[Randall Boggs|Randall]]. He is also Celia's boyfriend and seems to be watched at by [[Roz]] who awaits for his paperwork. While at [[Harryhausen's]] for Celia's birthday, Sulley appeared out of nowhere to tell Mike that he had lead a [[Boo|human girl]] into the monster world. Putting her into a Monsters, Inc. gym bag, Sulley tried to show him, but the human girl got out of the bag and wreaked havoc all over the restaurant. The two secretly took her out before the [[CDA]] found her and disinfected the entire restaurant. At their apartment, Mike tries to create a plan to put her back where she belongs, back in the human world.
−
Mike was first introduced to [[James P. Sullivan]] in a SCARE 101 class in [[Professor Knight]]'s classroom. He began to dislike Sulley due to his lack of effort towards his education, and because of how everyone looked up to him, simply because of his father, [[Bill Sullivan]], who was a famous and legendary scarer.
  
   
  +
When [[Henry J. Waternoose III|Mr. Waternoose]] reveals himself to be the one who ordered Randall to kidnap Boo he throws Sulley and Mike into the [[Himalayas|frozen wasteland]], a rift forms between them after Mike gets angry at Sulley for listening to Mr. Waternoose instead of him.
−
A few days later, in one of [[Professor Knight]]'s classes, Mike and Sulley got into an argument in the middle of an exam, which caused them to knock over one of [[Dean Hardscrabble]]'s scream containers. Hardscrabble kicked Mike and Sulley out of the scaring program, which led them to major in different programs, with Mike transferring to a class about the manufacturing of scream containers.
  
   
  +
When they learn that Waternoose is in on a scam of draining children of screams with Randall and [[Fungus]]' assistance, Sulley tricks Mr. Waternoose into confessing his plan while Mike records the confession and smugly replays it to watching CDA agents. Immediately, the CDA turn on Mr. Waternoose and arrest him. Once Boo is back in her room, Mike rebuilds her door that the CDA destroyed so Sulley will be happy again.
−
[[File:Monsterumikehardscrabble-4_3_r541_c540.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hardscrabble listens to Mike's deal.]]Mike soon remembered about the [[Scare Games]], a program that he was offered to during his orientation, and Mike made a deal with the Dean that if his team won the Scare Games, she had to let him into the scaring program again. However, the only fraternity with an open spot was [[Oozma Kappa]], a group of social rejects with limited scaring talents. However, the addition of Mike would only have made the team total to five numbers, instead of the six required to compete. Sulley then joined the group, to Mike's annoyance.
  
   
  +
Sometime after the film, Mike's low-budget company play [[Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me]] that he has starred in, written, directed, and produced comes in front of the audiences.
−
During the first event, Oozma Kappa performed badly, finishing in the last position. However, due to another fraternity using an illegal repellent, they were able to advance, as the other fraternity was disqualified. In the following events, Oozma Kappa began to perform better, and eventually made it to the final two teams, the other being [[Roar Omega Roar]], their biggest rivals. During the final event, Oozma Kappa manages to win, though Sulley had tampered with the controls, to Mike's sadness. Sulley confessed his actions to the Dean after Mike snuck into a door leading to the human world, which led him into a cabin where several little girls were sleeping.
  
   
  +
In [[Mike's New Car]], Mike has brought a new six-wheel drive car, and wants to show it to Sulley. When they both get in the car, Sulley accidentally ruins the brand-new car and injures Mike, who then throws him out. In the end, Mike speeds off and wrecks the car completely.
−
Sulley then snuck into the door in order to retrieve Mike. The girls had summoned the police, so Mike and Sulley worked together to scare them off. Upon returning to the monster world, both were expelled from the school.
  
−
===Career at Monsters, Inc.===
  
−
[[File:Mike,_Sulley,_Henry_Waternoose,_and_The_CDA.jpg|thumb|200px|Mike and Sulley with their boss, [[Henry J. Waternoose III|Mr. Waternoose]].]]Shortly before leaving Monsters University, Dean Hardscrabble approached Mike and Sulley and offered them jobs at Monsters, Inc. as workers in the company mail room. The two worked their way up the corporate ladder, with Sulley eventually becoming a scarer, with Mike as his assistant.
  
   
  +
Mike reappeared in the prequel [[Monsters University]]. He is smaller and wears a retainer. In the trailer, we follow him on his way to [[Monsters University (Institution)|Monsters University]], where he gets off his bus there, then gets an ID, room key, and finds Sulley to be another scaring major and so, they are introduced. He attends the school to achieve his dream of being an expert scarer. When he discovers Sulley will be his roommate, they do not get along well and their constant arguing gets them thrown out of their scaring class and must work together with a team of friends to get them back in.
−
Some years after officially becoming employees on [[Scare Floor F]], while collecting paperwork for Mike, which he had accidentally left on his desk, Sulley discovered a door that had not yet been returned to the warehouse. Sulley opened the door, but did not discover any humans inside of the room that the door led to. However, upon further investigation, Sulley found Boo, a small girl, outside of door, in the monster world. Frightened, Sulley made several unsuccessful attempts to put her back. Having given up, Sulley took her inside of a bag to Mike, who was on a date with [[Celia Mae]] at [[Harryhausen's]] at the time. Boo escaped from the bag, and began causing trouble at the restaurant, leading the [[CDA]] to arrive at the scene. The entire city of Monstropolis was in terror.
  
   
  +
Mike's lifelong dream is to become a scarer at Monsters, Inc.—and he is sure he knows just how to do it. Ever since he was a young monster, Mike has had his eye on Monsters University, home of the world's top Scare Program. Now a freshman and hopeful Scare student, he is well versed in the rich history, theory and technique required to reach his goal and the little green one-eyed monster has more confidence, enthusiasm, determination and heart than all of his classmates combined. But unexpected roadblocks derail Mike’s plans and he’s forced to team up with a group of misfit monsters and an unlikely ally to give it the old college try and pull off the biggest coup in the University’s history.
−
[[File:Sulley_004.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Sulley and Mike trying to protect themselves from Boo.]]Sulley and Mike returned to their apartment with Boo, and Mike attempted to devise a plan to return Boo to her room in the Human World. Out of ideas, Mike gave up, and the two took a disguised Boo to work the next day, where they told Mr. Waternoose she was a relative of Mike's. After a variety of shenanigans, Mike was captured by Randall, and was used to test out Boggs' new invention, the [[Scream Extractor]]. However, Sulley saved Mike from the machine, and put Fungus, Randall's assistant, into it.
  
   
  +
Mike Wazowski is first seen as an elementary student attending [[Karen Graves|Ms. Graves]]' class visiting Monsters, Inc. as part of a field trip. During the field trip, Mike accidentally walks past a safety line, but is pulled back by a monster named [[Frank McCay|Frightening Frank McCay]], who attends Monsters University. Because of this, Mike wanted to work at Monsters, Inc. as a scarer and attend Monsters University to learn how to scare humans.
−
Mr. Waternoose soon became aware of the girl's presence, he and Randall acquired her, and Mike and Sulley were banished to the Himalayas. While Mike was hesitant, Sulley went down to a village, where he managed to return to the monster world through a door. Sulley and Mike chased Randall through the Door Warehouse, and managed to save Boo. They managed to escape Randall, who was mistaken for an aligator and subsequently beaten by the [[Trailer Folk]].
  
   
  +
On the first day at college Mike's roommate is revealed to be Randall Boggs (his and Sulley's eventual archenemy) who has a hard time camouflaging himself with his glasses on. While attending SCARE 101 at [[Professor Knight]]'s class Mike runs into a student named James P. Sullivan, who despite his frightening appearance acted like anything but a scarer. [[Dean Hardscrabble]], the school's headmistress and a famous Scarer then flies into Prof. Knight's classroom and tells all of the students that they all had to complete a final exam to enter the Scaring Program and if they fail then they will have to leave the university forever. Unfortunately for Mike, Sulley never does any of his homework and even goofs off by doing rowdy activities such as hanging out with [[Roar Omega Roar]] and stealing [[Archie the Scare Pig]] (rival school [[Fear Tech]]'s mascot). Finally, the two monsters get into an argument causing them both to be caught by Hardscrabble and then kicked out of the school.
−
Sulley then tried to return Boo, but Mr. Waternoose saw him and chased him through the building, but not before Sulley took the door out of the station. Sulley locked Waternoose out of a room, in which he set up Boo's door, and used it to put Boo back. However, Waternoose broke through the door and tried to retrieve Boo, while revealing is plan to Sulley. However, Mike and the CDA had caught Waternoose's words on camera, and he was arrested.
  
   
  +
Mike and Sulley then realize that the only way to get back in is to participate in the university's [[Scare Games]] by teaming up with a fraternity made up of rejected monsters called [[Oozma Kappa]] composing of [[Don Carlton]], [[Terri and Terry Perry|Terri and Terry]], [[Art]], and [[Scott "Squishy" Squibbles|Squishy]]. Mike then becomes Oozma Kappa's coach on the day of the Scare Games, and during the competition the fraternity easily beats all of the other participating fraternities and sororities in every game until finally Oozma Kappa is pitted against ROR during a scaring competition. Oozma Kappa wins the Games, only to realize that they cheated since Sulley secretly adjusted Mike's setting of their scare simulator to easy since Mike cannot scare. Mike, facing the fact that Hardscrabble was right about him not being scary and being forced to leave Monsters University forever, decides to go into the human world where he tries to scare several little girls in a cabin in a forest campsite to test his frightfulness but the girls all laugh at him no matter how hard he tries. And to make matters worse, Mike's appearance in the forest preserve caught the attention of several policemen in the process since the girls called the cops for thinking Mike is a bear. Sulley then tries to save Mike by entering the door leading to the cabin, but on the way back, they find out that Hardscrabble had shut off the door's power, trapping them outside with the police after them. Mike and Sulley work the situation out, and Sulley lets out his loudest roar ever, scaring off all of the cops in the process. This produces enough energy to allow the two monsters back into the university, and the door explodes just as the two return into their world.
−
Boo was returned to her room, and her door was shredded, so that no monster could access it. Mike rebuilt the door over time, however, and surprised Sulley with it after the company was turned into a laugh factory, as opposed to a scare factory.

Mike and Sulley are then permanently expelled from the university as the rest of OK enter the scaring program, but as the two leave the school behind for the last time, Hardscrabble flies out to tell them that they have surprised her by making the front page of a newspaper. She then tries to give them both a second chance in life by having them both work at Monsters, Inc., much to their delight. The two monsters then first start working in the factory's mail room and gradually start working their way up the corporate ladder until finally being promoted to scarers.

[[File:Mike_and_Celia_Mae_002.jpg|thumb|200px|Mike and Celia enjoying a date at Harryhausen's.]]In ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'', Mike is Sulley's best friend and working partner at [[Monsters, Inc.

* Whenever Mike Wazowski is shown on public media, such as a Monsters, Inc. commercial or a magazine cover, his face is actually always covered up by the text on said media (such as the Monsters, Inc. "M eyeball" logo in the commercial and a bar code on the magazine cover). Also the DVD (and possibly the upcoming Blu-ray disc) for the film appears to take this even further by having the DVD artwork and the hole in the middle of the DVD used to secure it into place once inside the DVD player both positioned in a way so that the hole is actually placed over Mike's face. In ''Monsters University'', Mike's ID card has his head out of view.

Mike scaring

Michael "Mike" Wazowski is the deuteragonist of Monsters, Inc., and the main protagonist of Monsters University. He is Sulley's former rival and best friend.

Bio

Mike is Sulley's scare assistant on the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. The two are also best friends, as well as roommates. He has a lot of friends at work, but there are some who do not like him, such as Roz who constantly is pressuring him about giving her his paperwork. He is in a relationship with Celia, who calls him "Googley Bear."

In Monsters, Inc., Mike is Sulley's best friend and working partner at Monsters, Inc.. He is supporting Sulley about being the number one scarer, and both are enemies with Randall. He is also Celia's boyfriend and seems to be watched at by Roz who awaits for his paperwork. While at Harryhausen's for Celia's birthday, Sulley appeared out of nowhere to tell Mike that he had lead a human girl into the monster world. Putting her into a Monsters, Inc. gym bag, Sulley tried to show him, but the human girl got out of the bag and wreaked havoc all over the restaurant. The two secretly took her out before the CDA found her and disinfected the entire restaurant. At their apartment, Mike tries to create a plan to put her back where she belongs, back in the human world.

When Mr. Waternoose reveals himself to be the one who ordered Randall to kidnap Boo he throws Sulley and Mike into the frozen wasteland, a rift forms between them after Mike gets angry at Sulley for listening to Mr. Waternoose instead of him.

When they learn that Waternoose is in on a scam of draining children of screams with Randall and Fungus' assistance, Sulley tricks Mr. Waternoose into confessing his plan while Mike records the confession and smugly replays it to watching CDA agents. Immediately, the CDA turn on Mr. Waternoose and arrest him. Once Boo is back in her room, Mike rebuilds her door that the CDA destroyed so Sulley will be happy again.

Sometime after the film, Mike's low-budget company play Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me that he has starred in, written, directed, and produced comes in front of the audiences.

In Mike's New Car, Mike has brought a new six-wheel drive car, and wants to show it to Sulley. When they both get in the car, Sulley accidentally ruins the brand-new car and injures Mike, who then throws him out. In the end, Mike speeds off and wrecks the car completely.

Mike reappeared in the prequel Monsters University. He is smaller and wears a retainer. In the trailer, we follow him on his way to Monsters University, where he gets off his bus there, then gets an ID, room key, and finds Sulley to be another scaring major and so, they are introduced. He attends the school to achieve his dream of being an expert scarer. When he discovers Sulley will be his roommate, they do not get along well and their constant arguing gets them thrown out of their scaring class and must work together with a team of friends to get them back in.

Mike's lifelong dream is to become a scarer at Monsters, Inc.—and he is sure he knows just how to do it. Ever since he was a young monster, Mike has had his eye on Monsters University, home of the world's top Scare Program. Now a freshman and hopeful Scare student, he is well versed in the rich history, theory and technique required to reach his goal and the little green one-eyed monster has more confidence, enthusiasm, determination and heart than all of his classmates combined. But unexpected roadblocks derail Mike’s plans and he’s forced to team up with a group of misfit monsters and an unlikely ally to give it the old college try and pull off the biggest coup in the University’s history.

Mike Wazowski is first seen as an elementary student attending Ms. Graves' class visiting Monsters, Inc. as part of a field trip. During the field trip, Mike accidentally walks past a safety line, but is pulled back by a monster named Frightening Frank McCay, who attends Monsters University. Because of this, Mike wanted to work at Monsters, Inc. as a scarer and attend Monsters University to learn how to scare humans.

On the first day at college Mike's roommate is revealed to be Randall Boggs (his and Sulley's eventual archenemy) who has a hard time camouflaging himself with his glasses on. While attending SCARE 101 at Professor Knight's class Mike runs into a student named James P. Sullivan, who despite his frightening appearance acted like anything but a scarer. Dean Hardscrabble, the school's headmistress and a famous Scarer then flies into Prof. Knight's classroom and tells all of the students that they all had to complete a final exam to enter the Scaring Program and if they fail then they will have to leave the university forever. Unfortunately for Mike, Sulley never does any of his homework and even goofs off by doing rowdy activities such as hanging out with Roar Omega Roar and stealing Archie the Scare Pig (rival school Fear Tech's mascot). Finally, the two monsters get into an argument causing them both to be caught by Hardscrabble and then kicked out of the school.

Mike and Sulley then realize that the only way to get back in is to participate in the university's Scare Games by teaming up with a fraternity made up of rejected monsters called Oozma Kappa composing of Don Carlton, Terri and Terry, Art, and Squishy. Mike then becomes Oozma Kappa's coach on the day of the Scare Games, and during the competition the fraternity easily beats all of the other participating fraternities and sororities in every game until finally Oozma Kappa is pitted against ROR during a scaring competition. Oozma Kappa wins the Games, only to realize that they cheated since Sulley secretly adjusted Mike's setting of their scare simulator to easy since Mike cannot scare. Mike, facing the fact that Hardscrabble was right about him not being scary and being forced to leave Monsters University forever, decides to go into the human world where he tries to scare several little girls in a cabin in a forest campsite to test his frightfulness but the girls all laugh at him no matter how hard he tries. And to make matters worse, Mike's appearance in the forest preserve caught the attention of several policemen in the process since the girls called the cops for thinking Mike is a bear. Sulley then tries to save Mike by entering the door leading to the cabin, but on the way back, they find out that Hardscrabble had shut off the door's power, trapping them outside with the police after them. Mike and Sulley work the situation out, and Sulley lets out his loudest roar ever, scaring off all of the cops in the process. This produces enough energy to allow the two monsters back into the university, and the door explodes just as the two return into their world.

Mike and Sulley are then permanently expelled from the university as the rest of OK enter the scaring program, but as the two leave the school behind for the last time, Hardscrabble flies out to tell them that they have surprised her by making the front page of a newspaper. She then tries to give them both a second chance in life by having them both work at Monsters, Inc., much to their delight. The two monsters then first start working in the factory's mail room and gradually start working their way up the corporate ladder until finally being promoted to scarers.

Personality

Mike and Sulley argue and/or fight sometimes; however, it is usually Sulley who annoys Mike first. He is funny, smart, brave, but can sometimes fail to see the obvious in a situation. While he can sometimes be smart, he is often times not. He's also a very caring and dedicated friend.

Description

Mike has light green skin and two small horns on his head. He only has one eye, which is large and takes up most of his face. He wears a retainer. His body is a spherical shape. His thin arms and legs are attached to either side of his torso.

  • Whenever Mike Wazowski is shown on public media, such as a Monsters, Inc. commercial or a magazine cover, his face is actually always covered up by the text on said media (such as the Monsters, Inc. "M eyeball" logo in the commercial and a bar code on the magazine cover). Also the DVD (and possibly the upcoming Blu-ray disc) for the film appears to take this even further by having the DVD artwork and the hole in the middle of the DVD used to secure it into place once inside the DVD player both positioned in a way so that the hole is actually placed over Mike's face! In Monsters University, Mike's ID card has his head out of view.
  • In Monsters University, Mike is 17, meaning that in Monsters, Inc., he is about 27.
  • As pointed out by Dean Hardscrabble, Mike Wazowski can never become a scarer, so in the original film he ultimately becomes a comedian instead.
  • Mike's personality is similar to Vanellope von Schweetz from Wreck It Ralph. They are both funny, brave and sarcastic and they both dream about something that people think they can never achieve ; Mike dreams of being a scarer, but he is small and unthreatening and Vanellope dreams of racing even though she is a glitch.
