Michael Martin "Mike" Baxter is the main protagonist of Last Man Standing. He is the minor antagonist and anti-hero of the series. He is portrayed by American actor and comedian Tim Allen, and first appeared in the series' pilot episode.
Mike Baxter, the main protagonist of the show, is a father of three daughters, husband of Vanessa Baxter, and the director of marketing for Outdoor Man, a store that sells sporting and hunting goods. He is a so-called "manly-man," and he believes in old-fashioned values. He is also a very strong conservative and despises all liberals.
Mike is also an Amateur Radio operator with the fictitious call sign of KA0XTT. KA0XTT is licensed to the show as an experimental station, University of Michigan. He also enjoys spending quality time with his grandson Boyd Baxter, the only other boy in his family. He likes hunting, fishing, sports, and (most of the time) his family.
He is the husband of Vanessa. He is the father of three girls: Kristin, Mandy, and Eve, and is also the grandfather of Boyd. He often clashes with his son in law, Ryan, and dislikes how men have become so sensitive.
Notes
- Mike Baxter and Kyle Anderson's relationship is similar to Tim "The Toolman" Taylor and Al Borland on Tool Time in Home Improvement, but in reverse with Mike being the responsible one and Kyle being the doofus.
- Mike Baxter and Ryan Vogelson's relationship is similar to Archie Bunker and Michael Stivic in All in the Family.
- Just like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor he is also Denver Broncos, Nuggets and Avalanche fan. Tim hosts a tool show where he usually demonstrates tools and talking about being sexist to women. Mike does the same thing in his web show. Mostly he doesn't demonstrate camping equipment, he just talks about it and the same sexist remarks on his webcast.
- Tim Allen grew up in Detroit and he went to college there. Mike Baxter went to the University of Michigan.
- Mike is also an amateur radio operator using the call sign KA0XTT.
- Mike Baxter is a minor antagonist and anti-hero of the series.
- Mike met Tim "The Toolman" Taylor in one episode, and both men were fascinated by their resemblance to each other (Although Tim had more grey hair than Mike). Although Mike was initially annoyed with some of Tim's antics, the two men later formed a bond.
