Random Strongest Survivors On 'The Walking Dead' (20 items)

• 

  (#19) Gabriel Stokes

  Who He Is: Father Gabriel Stokes is an Episcopal Priest who is first encountered begging for help as he's surrounded by the walkers. After he is helped to his church, the survivors learn of his failings in helping his flock but accept him into their group. Over the course of several seasons, he fails again but ultimately proves himself worthy when he finally fights against the Saviors as well as the walkers.

  How He's Survived: Mainly, through the help of others as he lacks survival skills in the beginning. This continues to be the case into Season 9, but he's managed to survive on several occasions where he would have perished earlier in the series.

  His Strongest Moment: Standing up to Negan at the moment he is about to be slain instead of groveling for mercy.

  His Weakest Moment: Letting his flock perish because he is too scared to open his church to them as they pound on the door, begging for help.

  (#9) Rosita Espinosa

  • The Walking Dead

  Who She Is: Rosita shows up with Abraham and Eugene in Season 4. She wasn't a member of the military or a scientist, but she joins up to help get Eugene to Washington, DC. On the way, she learns about tools of destruction from Abraham, which helps her to become a true survivor. She quickly becomes an asset to the rest of the survivors as they escape Terminus and arrive in Alexandria. Throughout this time, she has relationships with several people and demonstrates a willingness to seek revenge for numerous wrongs committed against her and the people she loves.

  How She's Survived: She is a survivalist with skills that set her apart from most of the people on the show. She's incredibly skilled with blades and arms. She can survive on her own in the wild but sticks with other people who have similar survival skills to maximize her probability of survival.

  Her Strongest Moment: When she tries to slay Negan.

  Her Weakest Moment: Losing Sasha to the Saviors.

  (#10) Merle Dixon

  • The Walking Dead

  Who He Is: Merle Dixon shows up early in the series alongside his brother, Daryl. The two men were clearly taught to survive long before the apocalypse, but unlike Daryl, Merle is a racist jerk who does not work and play well with others. He immediately shows how much of a problem this is to Rick, who handcuffs him atop a building in Atlanta. This leads to him chopping off his own hand, and eventually, he falls in line with the Governor. This puts him on opposite sides of the fight with his brother, and eventually, Merle and the Governor face off against one another.

  How He's Survived: He's aggressive and vicious. He doesn't have a problem slaying the living, and he enjoys slaying the walkers. He can use anything but prefers to get up close and personal whenever possible.

  His Strongest Moment: He saws off his own hand to escape a horde of walkers atop the building he is handcuffed to by Rick.

  His Weakest Moment: His constant insults of T-Dog, which shows the type of man he is.

  (#8) Morgan Jones

  • The Walking Dead

  Who He Is: Morgan is the first person Rick meets when he wakes up from the hospital, and as a result, he's also the person who saves his life. Sadly, Morgan has lost both his wife and son to the walkers, but he isn't able to bring himself to end their "lives." He tends to travel alone, but he has joined up with the survivors of Alexandria and the Kingdom from time to time.

  How He's Survived: He's an incredibly capable fighter with a quarterstaff, and after being trained with one, he can use it against the living and the walkers.

  His Strongest Moment: Saving Ezekiel alongside Carol to slay the Saviors, he liberates the Kingdom.

  His Weakest Moment: Morgan nearly takes his life before he is saved by a survivor named Eastman who teaches him Aikido.
• 

  (#1) Daryl Dixon

  • The Walking Dead

  Who He Is: Daryl and Merle show up early on in the first season where they are shown to be capable survivors. Merle isn't the nicest guy in the world, but Daryl is able to work and play well with others, which quickly makes him a vital member of the team. He's been a leader and a good protector throughout his time on the series, and he's one of the few characters (alongside his brother) who isn't in the comics.

  How He's Survived: Daryl clearly has survival skills when he first appears, but he's honed them to perfection over the seasons. He can use just about any tool, but he prefers the silence and accuracy of a crossbow, which he uses against the living and the walkers.

  His Strongest Moment: Sucker-punching Negan after he bashes in Abraham's skull.

  His Weakest Moment: When Rick is "slain," Daryl retreats to the wild to live in seclusion for years.
• 

  (#18) Eugene Porter

  Who He Is: Eugene is the smartest character in the series, and though he talks strangely, he clearly knows what he's talking about (when he isn't full of it). He shows up alongside Rosita and Abraham with the tall tale that he has to get to Washington, DC, in order to enact a plan which could save the world from the apocalypse. While he isn't truly a scientist, he was a high school science teacher, so he knows enough to bluff his way to survival.

  How He's Survived: By relying on others. He's a coward who tends to flee in terror whenever threatened, and he only manages to survive by latching onto Abraham and others for help. Eventually, he learns to dispatch walkers, but it takes some time before he's even remotely comfortable with doing so.

  His Strongest Moment: Turning against Negan to have the ammunition he created detonate when the Saviors open fire on the survivors in their final fights against one another.

  His Weakest Moment: Immediately flipping sides to work for Negan when he's taken by the Saviors.
