He usually runs supporting plots with Steve, Lucas, Mike, or, most recently, Eddie.

The increased danger could set up for a shocking Dustin death!

Hopper always protects the kids in Hawkins and puts himself in the most peril of any character.

Eleven has undoubtedly become the main character ofStranger Things.
