5. Wesley Crusher, ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’
The 1980s incarnation of Star Trek is arguably its best. The often high-minded adventures of the USS Enterprise were extremely popular among fans, especially those who found themselves falling in love with the ship’s steely-voiced captain Jean-Luc Picard. There was, however, one notable exception to the show’s excellence: token ship kid Wesley Crusher, the son of the ship’s otherwise kick-ass doctor Beverly Crusher. He was whiny, obnoxiously upbeat, and endlessly inquisitive in ways that made it seem like Wil Wheaton (the actor playing him) was on an episode of Mister Wizard.
