Mike is one of those characters whose entire existence is flawed and ill-conceived.

With his multiple personalities, he comes across as unintentionally offensive to those of us with actual mental illnesses, particularly since the writers portray it as just another stereotype on the same level as the "goth girl" or the "rebellious punk". It trivializes the anguish that real people often go through when dealing with mental illness.

Without his multiple personalities (aka "default" Mike), he's very dull and uninteresting.

If it were up to me, I would have taken what I consider his most interesting persona — Vito — and simply made it his default and ONLY persona. Vito's interactions with Anne Maria and Zoey were great in TDRotI.
