Page "Mike Nelson (character)" Paragraph 5

According to The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Amazing Colossal Guide, Mike is " as intelligent as the average man ", and often displays a comic unawareness of his limitations and foibles.

In episode # 602 Invasion U. S. A., he builds a robot whose only function appears to be to " destroy ... destroy ... destroy ...".

During the eighth season, he manages to contribute accidentally to the destruction of planets in three separate incidents.

During Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, one of Mike's mistakes was trying to show off by piloting the Satellite of Love, and ended up crashing into the Hubble Space Telescope before totally destroying it while attempting to get it off the ship.

In episode # 911 Devil Fish, he believes his identity has been stolen by a secret government agency merely after misplacing his wallet.

He has an older brother, Eddie, a rude, smoking and drinking bum who replaces him temporarily in the Time Chasers episode due to Crow going back in time to prevent him from getting the temp jobs which eventually result in him ending up on the SOL.

However, this also results in Mike dying a horrible death, which caused Crow to go back once more to fix things.
