Captain Christopher Pike is a featured character in the unaired first pilot of Star Trek, "The Cage". The footage of that appearance was also incorporated into the two-parter, "The Menagerie". Pike was played by Jeffrey Hunter, with Sean Kenney portraying the injured Pike in new scenes created for the two-parter.
The character returned in Season Two of Star Trek: Discovery, now played by Anson Mount. A spin-off series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been developed.[1]
In an alternate timeline, Pike was played by Bruce Greenwood in Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness. This Pike had still captained the USS Enterprise but suffered a different fate in that timeline.
