The question mark mostly got dropped after Steve became a more accepted name for the character. However, I've noticed that Mattel still uses it on their Minecraft products.
Iāve never seen someone use the new default skins yetā¦ they are probably more used on bedrock I guess, still I think they shouldāve added actually good looking skins instead of doing whatever fugly shit this is. I swear they made the skins as ugly as possible so people still have to buy skins to not look like thisā¦

from the wikipedia article on [steve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_(Minecraft))
Steve and Alex are undeniably the OGs, I grew up with them, read about them, played as them, they will always have my heart.
But seriously tho... the hate for the new skins is kind of crazy. They're not replacing Steve or Alex. I like to imagine it's like Steve and Alex got some new friends, and while some of them don't exactly fit Steve and Alex's style, I still think they're pretty cool.
Out of the new ones, I especially like Noor. Zuri and Ari are close seconds.
I would say that Minecraft as a kids game is a common misconception. Microsoft eagerly wants it to be a kids game, and openly promotes it as such. But from the beginning it was never meant to be that, and not because there is no gore and the graphics are simplistic. I belive that the surge of minecrafts popularity amongst younger audience made the developers focus of them so much that it got essencially 'neutered'. Early Minecraft, with cave sounds, music score, the enigmatic feeling to it all was a game that could go in a completely different direction and nobody would've been surprized. It's focus was derailed by many factors, and frankly it omits the games potential drastically (that and whatever the developmental team is doing, by god Jeb in the only one keeping it together)
I get why they added new skins, to have a broader arrangement of mascots available. Still they kind of failed in that as i dont think a single person exists who prefers the new ones over steve or even alex
Steve and alex, fuck cultural diversity skins
Btw stop hating, i hate these skins because they look shit, steve and alex are og and nobody gives a fuck about being represented in a block game
no they didnt? the only skins on console were steve, alex, and variations of them. I think more did come along like the black knight but never these new ones
Cultural diversity is understandable, but at least make the skins actually look good, not every ten year old wants to look like an american college studentā¦
~~Spot the racist challenge (Easy Mode)~~
Edit: Spot the racist COWARD who edited his comment cuz he was getting rightfully shit on for being a dumbass fucking racist about a game having black player characters
other than the two obvious ones, the rest look kinda bad. though the best looking one in my opinion is the left-most one as heās the only one whoās hair looks at least a little bit normal. the rest feel like they have pieces of their hair that went missing
Steve. Honestly the new skins look like they should have more detail, but it was lost when it became a skin.
Steve just feels like he was *made* for minecraft
Steve and Alex. The rest are neat, I'm glad there's a good amount of options, but Steve is literally THE minecraft character and Alex is right up there with her homie.
Off course Steve,
Steve went through all the updates since the beginning.
He was there and suffered the creepy herobrine,
He was there where biomes looked so empty and ghosted.
He is the ultimate minecraft persona
The KING of minecraft,
The true GOD of the wide biomes.
And we all should cherish him
I don't like any of these. I don't know if it's the bad hair or the clothes. But compared skins on skindex, these are too PLAIN
I use Mojang made Creeper in a suit skin on bedrock... I love that suit. If only steve could wear it

Got to go with my main man, Steve
Who the fuck is everyone else š I only know Steve and Alex
It like when they added extra colors to among us
Wait what? How many are there?
Around 18 now I think?
So is it like Red-Orange crayon vs Orange-Red crayon?
Apparently pocket edition got other default skins ( I think it has to do with the skin shop or something )
They are also in the java launcher now
It's also in the JAVA version.
They replaced the various Steve costumes with skins meant to represent generic characterizations of other races.
There's also efe and sunny now and I don't remember the others' names
This is the only right answer
Sure is brother!
Steve is the way!
Steve is the way!!
Steve is the way!!!
Steve is the way!!!!
Steve is the way!!!!!
Steve is the way!!!!
His names actually āSteve?ā
Yes
Dear god. Please please please be /s
people joke that it's "Steve?" with a question mark because the first instance of naming the character (in a tweet) was "Steve?"
Well thatās interesting. I didnāt know that! Iām glad to hear I was mistaken
The question mark mostly got dropped after Steve became a more accepted name for the character. However, I've noticed that Mattel still uses it on their Minecraft products.
He was also called Steve? On console for a bit I think
What?
When Notch asked Dinnerbone (I think it was him) what he should call the default character, he responded with: Steve?
Steve is undeniably the face of Minecraft aside from creepers
What do you mean? I thought the grass block was the face of Minecraft. :p
Well, grass blocks don't exactly have a face, do they?
Teeeeechnically the side of a cube is called a face. So grass blocks in fact have 6 faces.
A grass block has twice as many faces as a Wither.
a face doesnt have a face, but that doesnt stop it from being my face, does it?
Alex too.
Alex didnāt come out until 5 years after the game released, original face of Minecraft is Steve.
Steve more so, since he's the original human skin in minecraft
I didn't even start mc til 2020 but even I know Steve is moreso
these new skins have pretty crappy hairlines
domain expansion, malevolent forehead the only one with a decent hairline is the blonde jschlatt š
I cant unsee schlatt now... thanks....
Just like Schlatt can't ubsee what he did in 1999...

I swear they made the skins as ugly as possible so people still have to buy skins to not look like thisā¦
Yeah I agree, minecraft seems to misunderstand how bangs should look on their hair
Steve & Alex. Nothing can beat the classics.
Tuxedo Steve šš
Athletic Steve thoā¦
CJ?
Only Steve is a classic for me.
Yes Alex is relatively a pretty new addition
Alex was added nearly 10 years ago
Was she? It seems like she wasn't added that long ago at all. My brain is still stuck in 2019

I always liked prison Steve for some reason
Me too, for the reason that I really liked the color orange.
Steve has a special spot in my heart
You and seemingly everyone else that decided to comment on this post.
There isn't any other answer
Voting for stevie is based af, but Iāll do it anyway

Finally I found someone who thinks the same š„¹
Thereās only one default skin.
POV: you're stuck in 1.7.9
nobody gives a shit about the new ones, since youād change your skin to a good one if it mattered
Eh, itās not a bad idea for beginners to use, especially children
This game has suffered too much by cartering to children
This isnāt even suffering?
True that. The comment was marginally off topic. Yet the premise of it bugs me
I mean, itās a kids gameā¦ doesnāt mean adults canāt play it. Makes sense it would be hardwired for children. Like Star Wars
I would say that Minecraft as a kids game is a common misconception. Microsoft eagerly wants it to be a kids game, and openly promotes it as such. But from the beginning it was never meant to be that, and not because there is no gore and the graphics are simplistic.

It's focus was derailed by many factors, and frankly it omits the games potential drastically (that and whatever the developmental team is doing, by god Jeb in the only one keeping it together)
Steve
there are 2 valid answers
Xbox 360 skins
Tuxedo steve
A man of culture, I see
Steve
Steve my man
Honestly I've never seen any of them other than Steve and Alex in-game
Steve
These arenāt the originals I remember. Anyone else remeber how on console it depended one what order you joined the server?
I get why they added new skins, to have a broader arrangement of mascots available. Still they kind of failed in that as i dont think a single person exists who prefers the new ones over steve or even alex
I'll never leave my man Steve
Steve, especially the Steve where heās got a mojang outfit. Just love the look
On my mind Steve is the only canon default skin. Alex is an acceptable addition but it's not the same, even so. I couldn't even name anyone else ngl
Thereās only one default skin
Alex
Steve
OG Steve to this day
Steve!
of course Steve
I always used to use Alex
Steve and Alex
Steeevef
In the words of Patrick Star: WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
Steve and alex, fuck cultural diversity skins Btw stop hating, i hate these skins because they look shit, steve and alex are og and nobody gives a fuck about being represented in a block game
Didn't they exist on the old 360 as skins for three or more players?
yes
no they didnt? the only skins on console were steve, alex, and variations of them. I think more did come along like the black knight but never these new ones
So he's just another ingorant racist. Got it š Oh piss off, he edited his comment.
Cultural diversity is understandable, but at least make the skins actually look good, not every ten year old wants to look like an american college studentā¦
Dudes pressed that people of color exist in a block game š
"holy shit, black people in my game"...bro its 2024
Nah the only black I accept is my bro Enderman
Nah bro youāre forgetting about Athlete Steve šš
~~Spot the racist challenge (Easy Mode)~~ Edit: Spot the racist COWARD who edited his comment cuz he was getting rightfully shit on for being a dumbass fucking racist about a game having black player characters
Steve
this comment section is universally Steve, Heās iconic but I like Kai the best
Which one is Kai
The Blonde One
One of the ones that isnāt Steve
The one called Kai
Iām an OG one so steve for sure
Tuxedo Steve
Athlete steve frfr
other than the two obvious ones, the rest look kinda bad. though the best looking one in my opinion is the left-most one as heās the only one whoās hair looks at least a little bit normal. the rest feel like they have pieces of their hair that went missing
Steve. Honestly the new skins look like they should have more detail, but it was lost when it became a skin. Steve just feels like he was *made* for minecraft
Athletic Steve. For the OG's
Steve, but I think itās a bit of a cop-out so I also like and would use Sunny
Most of these are terrible
I kinda like the one with the prosthetic.
StEvE
Steve
Stevw or possibly alex
Stbeve
Undeniably Steven Minecraft
Nothing beats Steve
stev
Steve. Along with the creaper he is the face of minecraft.
Steve, with Alex as a second. All of the other default skins very few people even know the names of
Alex
Steve, there is no ither way. Alex is ok too ig.
Steve and Alex
alex and steve
Steve, the other ones except for Alex look so strange.
Steve and Alex. The rest are neat, I'm glad there's a good amount of options, but Steve is literally THE minecraft character and Alex is right up there with her homie.
Still Steve and Alex
Alex. Got to love the classics.
Off course Steve, Steve went through all the updates since the beginning. He was there and suffered the creepy herobrine, He was there where biomes looked so empty and ghosted. He is the ultimate minecraft persona The KING of minecraft, The true GOD of the wide biomes. And we all should cherish him
Steve and Alex , i hate all the new skins
Ok fr tho who tf uses a default skin thatās not Steve or Alex
Out of these ones, just Steve because itās iconic. However, for the default Xbox 360 skins it was Cyclist Steve for me because of the red shirt.
Steve and Alex the rest aren't default skins
If we don't count Steve and Alex then probably the guy in the far left
Steve and Alex, nothing beats the classics.
Steve. Nothing beats the classic
Steve & Alex
Seems there's absolutely no argument about Steve being the one and only
Steve.
Low hanging fruit, I love Steve and Alex. Noor and Ari in particular have really grown on me though.
I don't like any of these. I don't know if it's the bad hair or the clothes. But compared skins on skindex, these are too PLAIN I use Mojang made Creeper in a suit skin on bedrock... I love that suit. If only steve could wear it
STEVEEEE
Dumb question. There is only one...
Steve. If i had to choose one of the new ones, the guy on the left.
Left one reminds of of axel lol
Nothing against these skins, I'm all for options, but none of them look anything like me.
steves just an OG in my opinion, and I just like how he looks, so ima go with steve
Steve
Steve, Just Steve Only Steve
Alex is my go-to. I like the boots and the hair
Oh, apparently there are now more than one.
STEVE OFCCCC
Steve. My man is the OG
I like how absolutely no one cares about any of the others. Steve all the way, my brothers!
Three is only one real default skin
Steve is literally me
I mean the new ones don't look bad and all.. (except sometimes the hair is bad) but steve and alex are the only ones we really care about
Athlete Steve
Steve and Alex + a bunch of randoms
Steve, duh
