It's obvious why Mike is one of the most hated characters in TD. It's not just because he's seen as a mockery and insult to MPD sufferers. I can summarise the main reason in two words.

All. Stars.

I think the fandom's opinion towards Mike went downhill with the whole Mal thing and the realization that his main (if not only) sources of interaction were Zoey and Cameron.
