10 Xander Replacements Who Make Way More Sense for Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Scooby Gang

The Scooby Gang in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of the most beloved teams of heroes in any television series. While its roster fluctuates over the course of seven seasons, nearly every character who joins Buffy Summers in her crusade against evil is an absolute fan-favorite. The biggest exception to this, of course, is the series' infamous male lead, Xander Harris.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans hate Xander Harris, and there are plenty of characters who deserved to be in the Scooby Gang more. Some characters are more deserving because of greater likability and popularity, while others simply would have been more useful. While Xander is selfish, mean, cruel, misogynistic, and all-around useless, these characters would all have brought something special to the Scoobies.
