"Stranger Things: Season 2" Power Rankings

"Stranger Things" is all the rage right now, which got me thinking about which characters are most beloved by my fellow binge-watchers of America. I devised a way to determine this, based on a popular method used in sports called "Power Rankings."

According to Wikipedia, "Power ratings are numerical representations of competitive strength, often directly comparable so that the game outcome between any two teams can be predicted. Power rankings can be directly provided (e.g., by asking people to rank teams) so that the highest rated team earns the #1 rank."

With that in mind, I asked my online acquaintances to rank characters from Season 1 and Season 2 of "Stranger Things" to see where they stacked up. Here are the results:

Season 1 Power Rankings:

Season 2 Power Rankings:

Biggest Movers: Steve Harrington, +4; Eleven, -3; Nancy Wheeler, -3

Dropped from rankings: Mr. Clarke, Barb Holland

New this season: Bob “The Brain” Newby, MadMax Mayfield, Eight / Kali, Billy Hargrove
