| 9 | [[caption-width-right:350:The RPM Rangers]] |
| 10 | * CombatPragmatist: Applies to all of the Rangers who will use whatever they have in a fight. They even weaponize the explosions that happen when they suit up by waiting until they are close to a group of enemies to transform |
| 11 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Last season the ''Jungle Fury'' Rangers were martial arts experts that fought against an evil spirit. The ''[=RPM=]'' Rangers are people with different job backgrounds and experience fighting against an evil computer virus. The ''Jungle Fury'' powers were spirtual based, the ''[=RPM=]'' powers are based on technology. Lastly, the ''[=RPM=]'' are from a different universe as opposed to the ''Jungle Fury'' Rangers coming from the main timeline. |
| 12 | * RagTagBunchOfMisfits: Take a former air pilot, a mechanic with a desire of being a hero, a former spoiled heiress, a PluckyComicRelief mobster, and a amnesiac man with cybernetic enhancements, and you get a team that's suppose to be our saviors in the last safe haven on Earth. |
| 13 | * ThreePlusTwo: Initially the team started off with Scott, Flynn, and Summer as a trio. Quickly the team became five when Dillon and Ziggy join up. And with Gem and Gemma's appearance by the halfway point, the team became seven. |
| 14 | * TransformationTrinket: While the Rangers use different Morphers to morph, they all use an Engine Cell to initiate the process. |
| 15 | ** The main trio use the cell phone based Cell Shift Morpher. |
| 16 | ** The Green and Black Rangers use the wrist mounted Rev Morpher. |
| 17 | ** The Gold and Silver Rangers use the flight stick based Sky Morpher. |

| 21 | !!Scott Truman / [[red:Ranger Operator Series Red]] | [-(Actor: Creator/EkaDarville)-] |
| 22 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prrpm_rg_scott.jpg]] |
| 23 | --> ''"Here we go, people. Let's bring the pain."'' |
| 24 | |
| 25 | The leader of the team, Scott is a former Air Force pilot who longs for the approval of his overbearing father, Colonel Truman. Scarred by the death of his older brother, Marcus, Scott is often doubtful of his ability to lead the Rangers to victory, though he doesn't let that stop him. |
| 26 | ---- |
| 27 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Scott's [[TheCynic cynicism]] and [[DeadpanSnarker snarkiness]] are the complete opposite of Sousuke's HotBlooded IdiotHero personality. |
| 28 | * BashBrothers: Commonly with Flynn as he's the one guy who regurlarly follows his orders and doesn't give too much back talk. He slowly grows with Dillon into this over the course of the series, though they won't admit it. |
| 29 | %% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Never put a scratch on his car, just don't!* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Dillon's Veronica for Summer's Archie. |
| 30 | * CoolCar: [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience It's painted red]]. It's his pride and joy. |
| 31 | * CoolSword: Street Saber |
| 32 | ** Despite only one or two actual uses, the Rail Saber counts, too. |
| 33 | * DanceBattler: His actor is apparently trained in Capoeira, it shows in the unmorphed fight scenes. |
| 34 | * DeadpanSnarker: Despite his perceived Plain Jane qualities, he gets in some pretty good lines here and there. Especially when he's exasperated, then he goes into full on SarcasmMode. |
| 35 | * TheHero: He's in charge, even though Dillon is [[SupportingProtagonist the main character]]. |
| 36 | * HeroesPreferSwords: His special weapon is a broadsword. |
| 37 | * IOweYouMyLife: To Summer, after he was shot down and wounded before Corinth was sealed. [[RescueRomance This is implied to be the moment he became smitten with her too.]] |
| 38 | * ItsPersonal: With Shifter, after the 'bot tries to control him. |
| 39 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his slightly cynical nature, he really is a good guy. This is what attracts Summer to him, [[spoiler:but also is the reason she doesn't choose him, as she's even more attracted to Dillon's bad boy persona. True to trope, he comes to terms with this, remains friends with her, and supports her wishes]]. |
| 40 | * LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Only Ranger to pilot the Paleozords. He doesn't get a Battlizer, though. |
| 41 | * TheLeader: To the RPM Rangers. |
| 42 | * NobleBirdOfPrey: His AnimalMotif is the Eagle. |
| 43 | * RedIsHeroic: He is chosen by Doctor K to become the RPM Red Ranger. |
| 44 | * StandardizedLeader: Though downplayed thanks to his father issues and inferiority complex. |
| 45 | * SuperSpeed: His suit ability charges his body with energy, and shoots him off at a high speed. |
| 46 | * SupportingLeader: Though he does get his own arc in the season, the protagonist role seems to go to Dr. K and the new guy Dillon. He’s still the Hero and the Leader but the story is viewed through their perspectives. |
| 47 | * SurvivorGuilt: While he was able to survive the final battle before Corinth was sealed (if barely), his brother wasn't so lucky. He's lived with the guilt ever since. |
| 48 | * WellDoneSonGuy: A good deal of his character arc is this. He seeks to full the void left by his brother's death to his dad by being the best he can be. Which in this case is being as great a leader as his father is. Even then once he proves himself to his dad he also has to contend with him from a leadership position when his team mates go against protocol. |
| 49 | * YouAreNotReady: Told this word for word by his own father. |

| 52 | [[folder:Flynn [=McAllistair=]]] |
| 53 | !!Flynn [=McAllistair=] / [[blue:Ranger Operator Series Blue]] | [-(Actor: Ari Boyland)-] |
| 54 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prrpm_rg_flynn.jpg]] |
| 55 | |
| 56 | --> ''"This is how we do it GLASGOW STYLE!"'' |
| 57 | |
| 58 | A former police officer, firefighter, and foreign aid worker of Scottish descent, Flynn has a pathological need to help people that often gets him into trouble. As the team mechanic he's responsible for keeping their gear working, and has been known to improvise solutions to a number of problems. |
| 59 | ---- |
| 60 | * AdaptationalDumbass: In one episode Flynn's homemade Engine Cell built to power up the Zords ends up depowering them. Thing is, in the original Go-Onger episode, Renn's Engine Soul worked as planned. |
| 61 | * AscendedFanboy: Ever since he was a kid, all he wanted to be was a hero like the ones he read about in comic books. After years of failing to help in regular life, he fulfills his dream by becoming the Blue RPM Ranger. |
| 62 | * BadassDriver: His introductory scene is him driving a run down bus full of civilians through a horde of grinders and blasters to safety. [[spoiler:The only damage to the bus was a front plate that didn't fall off until after he got past the grinder horde.]] |
| 63 | * {{BFG}}: Turbo Cannon |
| 64 | * BigEater: It's largely implied considering he was the one huge on the wedding reception and always exasperated when he has to waste food. |
| 65 | * TheBigGuy: In an aversion of the usual blue position, Flynn is the team muscle, though [[GeniusBruiser he's no slouch in the brains department either]]. |
| 66 | * BraveScot: To the extreme, skirting the lines of parody, but always a badass. |
| 67 | -->'''Flynn:''' I'm Scottish! |
| 68 | * CoolCar: [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience Blue]]. |
| 69 | * GeniusBruiser: He's the best with machinery and tools among the Rangers and is a big, tough brawler in a fight. |
| 70 | * KingOfBeasts: His AnimalMotif is the Lion. |
| 71 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Throughout most of his life, whenever he'd do the right thing, all that'd come about from it is life spitting on him, and either becoming a social pariah or losing his job. It took going back to save the survivors of the Venjix invasion in the bus in order for life to finally throw him a bone. |
| 72 | * OutOfFocus: Unfortunately, with Dillon, Ziggy, Doctor K, the love triangle, and Venjix's plans taking up so much screentime, Flynn sorta gets left behind in the process, getting the bare minimum number of focus episodes only comparable to [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Lucas]]. |
| 73 | * PreAsskickingOneLiner: After listing all the tropes associated wtih the various ranger colors, Tenaya dismissively asks what Blue's deal is. Flynn defiantly declares "I'm ''Scottish''!" before kicking her ass. |
| 74 | * RunningGag: He never gets to drink a smoothie, does he? |
| 75 | * SamaritanSyndrome: His previous jobs all revolved around helping people, but his uncompromising principles always led to him getting fired. The turning point was the incident that led to him saving the bus full of refugees seen in the pilot episode. |
| 76 | * UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}}: Complete with thick accent. Played by a Kiwi. HilarityEnsues. |
| 77 | * ShipTease: With Gemma. Though sadly we never see them get together on screen. |
| 78 | * TimeStop: As his suit power; manifests itself as SuperSpeed. |
| 79 | * WeaponizedExhaust: His solution for clearing his suit's energy channels (to both allow him to morph and fix the Time Stop ability) in "Ranger Blue" is to insert the Engine Cell backwards, allowing all that excess energy to be channeled into the "run-off explosion" (as Ziggy puts it) and ramp it up...which he puts to good use by putting the bad guys behind him as he morphs. Even Dr. K is dumbfounded by his brilliance. |
| 80 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Though not to Scott's extent, and only as a kid. Upon arriving at Corinth, his dad is fully supportive of him. |

| 83 | [[folder:Summer Landsdown]] |
| 84 | !!Summer Landsdown / [[gold:Ranger Operator Series Yellow]] | [-(Actress: Creator/RoseMcIver)-] |
| 85 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prrpm_rg_summer.jpg]] |
| 86 | |
| 87 | --> ''"I don't care where you came from. I want to know where you're going."'' |
| 88 | |
| 89 | A spoiled rich girl who barely made it into Corinth alive, Summer experienced an epiphany and decided that she wanted to help people. She's determined to save Dillon, despite his own strong objections, and frequently plays the mediator between him and Scott. |
| 90 | ---- |
| 91 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Her personality is definitely a far cry from Saki's. |
| 92 | * ActionGirl: She's usually the first in the group to charge to the grinders. |
| 93 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: With Dillon of course, which is why she chooses him over Scott. |
| 94 | * ArrangedMarriage: And thankfully subverted. |
| 95 | * BadassBiker: Used for a ''Franchise/KamenRider'' ShoutOut, too. |
| 96 | * BearsAreBadNews: Her AnimalMotif is the Bear. |
| 97 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Archie for Scott's Betty and Dillon's Veronica. |
| 98 | * BreakTheHaughty: As seen in her two-part WholeEpisodeFlashback. First, the end of the world happens. Then she's left behind by soldiers, with her closest friend actually ''shoving her'' off the back of the truck while the Venjix bots attack. Then, after some time travelling the wastelands with the closest thing she has to a father figure, he's killed (like, properly, for real dies) right in front of her. |
| 99 | * BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The Gentle Girl to Dillon's Brooding Boy. |
| 100 | * CompositeCharacter. While she takes her designation from her Go-onger counterpart Saki, her backstory is more based on Miu Sutou, who also comes from a wealthy family. |
| 101 | * EnergyBall[=/=]{{Kamehamehadoken}}: Her suit ability |
| 102 | * FairWeatherFriend: Was surrounded by these before the Venjix attack. Special mention must go to the one who ''threw her off a moving truck'', then expected to still be best friends a year later, insisting that she knew Summer would be fine. |
| 103 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: The Zip Charger is basically an AttackDrone in the size and shape of a toy car, used to ram targets repeatedly. |
| 104 | * KamehameHadoken: Summer's Ranger Suit ability allows her to fire off a massive ball of energy. |
| 105 | * KickingAssInAllHerFinery: In "Ranger Yellow, Part 2" Grinders storm her wedding, and she spends most of the fight kicking ass in her wedding dress.... and some of the fight kicking ass WITH her wedding dress. |
| 106 | * LoveInterest: Dillon. |
| 107 | * LonelyRichKid: Pre Venjix Apocolypse. |
| 108 | * MsFanservice: She has the good looks, Her hair, her outfit, even her body. |
| 109 | * ParentalAbandonment: Pre-Apocalypse her parents merely gave her access to large amounts of money and left her with her surrogate father-butler. Post-Apocolypse they had an agreement to basically stay out of her life when she actually wanted to make a change. For all it's worth, they're on good terms. |
| 110 | * RichBitch: Subverted. While she was engorged in her highly luxurious life style and surrounded herself with vapid bimbos, she honestly was a good person. Just one not prepared enough for the real world, much less a post-apocalyptic one. |
| 111 | * TheSmartGirl: Perhaps the smartest of the rangers. |
| 112 | * TokenGirl: Until Gemma showed up. |
| 113 | * TookALevelInBadass: Before the first episode, on her journey alone across the wastelands. She went from a lazy empty-minded RichBitch to a first-class badass ActionGirl. |
| 114 | * UptownGirl: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BaKU9KBSuo&list=PLsjFZmD5pCed4WvgpLd0sJEJA7R9KntvI&index=96 Yep]] |
| 115 | * WackyParentSeriousChild: Not so much wacky as a bad case of RichInDollarsPoorInSense, but Summer is definitely the serious, responsible one in the family, much to her annoyance. |

| 118 | [[folder:Dillon]] |
| 119 | !!Dillon / Ranger Operator Series Black | [-(Actor: Dan Ewing)-] |
| 120 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prrpm_rg_dillon.jpg]] |
| 121 | |
| 122 | --> ''"You guys are the answer. I'm just looking for the question."'' |
| 123 | |
| 124 | A {{cyborg}} with amnesia and something of an attitude problem, Dillon is recruited into the Rangers as part of a work-release program from Corinth's jail. He wants to find out more about his past, has a mild rivalry with Scott, a fair amount of UnresolvedSexualTension with Summer, and a close friendship with Ziggy. |
| 125 | ---- |
| 126 | * NinetiesAntiHero: He is a brooding cyborg with a mysterious past. He drives around in a CoolCar amidst the apocalypse. His color is black and his AnimalMotif is wolf. |
| 127 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Gunpei was a tryhard ByTheBookCop no one took seriously and was a ButtMonkey, the complete opposite to broody and snarky anti-hero Dillon. |
| 128 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Summer certainly does. |
| 129 | * BadassDriver: "If that [[HumongousMecha thing]] has a steering wheel, I can drive it." He makes it through the barricade in broad daylight during the first episode, something Ziggy thought was impossible, [[spoiler: and later does it again with Tenaya providing cover fire]]. |
| 130 | * BarrierWarrior: His suit ability. |
| 131 | * BashBrothers: Usually with Ziggy, but later can be this with Scott, though he wouldn't admit it. |
| 132 | %% Doesn't explain what the reaction is.* BerserkButton: Don't damage ''his'' car, either. |
| 133 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Scott's Betty for Summer's Archie. |
| 134 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Ziggy. Though he's constantly irritated by him he won't let any danger actually come to him. His one condition on becoming a Ranger was to get Ziggy out of jail. |
| 135 | * BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Brooding Boy to Summer's Gentle Girl. |
| 136 | * ClassicalAntiHero: Easily the most aggressive, argumentative, and troubled member of the team. |
| 137 | * CoolCar: The other one in the garage. And [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience it's painted black]]. |
| 138 | * CurbStompBattle: Delivers a truly epic one on the prisoners harassing Ziggy. In fact, it's this very thing that convinces the rangers to take him seriously as a potential ally. |
| 139 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He was captured by Venjix's forces, placed in a prison camp, and subjected to brutal experiments as part of an effort to create Cyborg soldiers; the last part is the origin of his cybernetic implants and amnesia. |
| 140 | * DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits. |
| 141 | * DeflectorShields: His ranger power. It lasts for ten seconds but is very powerful when used correctly/ |
| 142 | * {{Expy}}: Of Wolverine from ''ComicBook/XMen''. He's the brooding loner who's JerkWithAHeartOfGold, has a DarkAndTroubledPast involving being experimented on, and is in a love triangle with the leader and his love interest. |
| 143 | * EveryoneHasPistols: Rocket Blaster |
| 144 | * FireForgedFriends: He has a rocky start with Scott, but overtime they have come to respect one another. |
| 145 | * HalfHumanHybrid: He possesses Venjix cyborg implants that give him enhanced physical abilities. |
| 146 | * HandCannon: Rocket Blaster |
| 147 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Ziggy. |
| 148 | * HollywoodCyborg: He's a cyborg. |
| 149 | * HotBlooded: When dealing with Summer's arranged marriage, he repeatedly has to be held back by Scott from yelling at her parents. |
| 150 | * ImplacableMan: During the situation with the Venjix bot that has his memories, Dr. K remotely freezes up his suit. He regains control via pure force of will. The attack bot shoots everything it has at him. Not only does Dillon keep coming, he doesn't even give any sign he ''felt the attacks''. |
| 151 | * IWasJustPassingThrough: No one's buying it. |
| 152 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he may be rough around the edges, he's got a heart of gold underneath. |
| 153 | * TheLancer: Can also qualify as TheBigGuy due to his cyborg parts giving him increased combat prowess. |
| 154 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: His memories were removed by Venjix. Not erased, a bot literally took them away and ran off with them. |
| 155 | * LoveInterest: Summer. |
| 156 | * LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Dillon is Tenaya's brother.]] Though the fans already knew it anyway. |
| 157 | * MrFanservice: Dan Ewing embodies this trope. |
| 158 | * NobleWolf: His AnimalMotif is the Wolf. |
| 159 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Dillon isn't his real name [[spoiler: and he ''never'' actually learns the real one.]] |
| 160 | * PhlebotinumRebel: [[Franchise/KamenRider Kidnapped by the enemy? Check! Gotten implants by said enemy giving him enhanced strength? Check! Uses these abilities to fight against said enemy? Check!!]] |
| 161 | * TheProtagonist: The main character of the series. |
| 162 | * TheQuietOne: Prefers to not talking, and doesn't particularly enjoy hearing other people talk either. |
| 163 | * RefusalOfTheCall: ''Really'' didn't want to be a Power Ranger. Even after he became one, at the first chance he could, he attempted to leave without a second thought. He's only convinced to not go because of Ziggy. |
| 164 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Ziggy's Sensitive Guy. |
| 165 | * {{Sizeshifter}}: Dan Ewing embodies the TallDarkAndHandsome trope, yet Dillon notably gets shorter while helmeted, for [[StockFootage certain reasons]]. |
| 166 | * SuperReflexes: Thanks to his cyborg implants. |
| 167 | * SupportingProtagonist: He is the central character, but Scott is their leader. |
| 168 | * TroubledButCute |
| 169 | * YouAreNumberSix: Known among the Venjix collective as Subject D-44. |

| 175 | |
| 176 | --> ''"In times like this, there is one question that needs to be answered: are we, or are we not, the good guys?"'' |
| 177 | |
| 178 | An ex-mobster with a streak of bad luck, Ziggy becomes friends with Dillon after he tried to rob the brooding Black Ranger in the pilot. Hired to find a Green Ranger candidate, he ends up putting the morpher on himself to protect it from Tenaya 7. Has a complicated relationship with Dr. K. |
| 179 | ---- |
| 180 | * BadassUnintentional: His first morph. Well, most of the season really. |
| 181 | * ButtMonkey: Poor Ziggy. It seems that barely an episode can go by without the Green Ranger totally embarrassing himself in some way. Best reflected by his first ever morph. Previous rangers, whether they JumpedAtTheCall, were [[FallingIntoTheCockpit thrown in the cockpit]] or even stole their powers, always morphed with a fair amount of dignity and grace the first time. What's Ziggy's first line upon realising what he has become? |
| 182 | -->'''Ziggy:''' Woah! I'm a Power Ranger! I don't wanna be a Power Ranger! I do '''not''' want to be a Power Ranger! |
| 183 | ::He then proceeds to get kicked all over the place. |
| 184 | * ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Implied to have been raised in an OrphanageOfLove. |
| 185 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite not being very bright, Ziggy does get a hold of his powers quickly. |
| 186 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Scott doesn’t even get this in a rare thing for Power Rangers. Ziggy’s dynamic with the two Protagonists, Dillon and Dr. K are the main relationships of the series as his role as TheHeart are major drives for the CharacterDevelopment of both characters, his own development and fight with the Scorpion Cartel are also major storylines. |
| 187 | * TheEveryman: On account of perhaps being the most average of the rangers in terms of abilities and background. Expectedly, this means it also takes him the longest to get used to his position on the team. |
| 188 | * FallingIntoTheCockpit: Or in his case, Ranger suit. He is forced to use the morpher to keep Tenaya from bonding with it. |
| 189 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: {{Downplayed}}, but he's often looked down on by the rest of the rangers and their allies, is actively being hunted by the mafia, is the butt of every joke, and overall gets just about no respect at all. However, over the course of the series he comes to genuinely bond and care about his teammates, with them returning it, and by the end of the series, its implied he becomes a couple with Doctor K. |
| 190 | * GivingTheSwordToANoob: The Rangers' morphers are designed to be operable ''only'' by the first person to use it, as it recorded his DNA as a security lock. Because of the situation, it was he or one of the bad guys, so... |
| 191 | * GeniusDitz: Ziggy is generally clumsy and airheaded but can make shadow puppets very easily to use as decoys against his enemies. |
| 192 | * TheHeart: It’s not his brains or fighting skill that make home a great Ranger, those do come later though. |
| 193 | * HeelFaceTurn: While he never truly ''evil'' per say, he used to work for Fresno Bob, a mob boss, and was introduced properly attempting the rob Dillon of his car and supplies. It took meeting him and becoming a Power Ranger to truly overcome his worst qualities. |
| 194 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Dillon. |
| 195 | * HiddenDepths: Ziggy's love for cooking. While in prison he worked the chow line and took great pride in his work from the sounds of it. Once the Rangers are dissolved, Ziggy decided to open up a cooking school. |
| 196 | * ImprovFu: The PluckyComicRelief became a Power Ranger by accident and out of desperation so he had no qualifications or skills to actually be a good fighter. Instead he mostly runs around a fight scene dodging enemies or using nearby props as weapons and ways to protect himself. He gets better at hand to hand throughout the series though. |
| 197 | * {{Keet}}: A hyperactive, excitable, and talkative guy who is by and far the least mature member of the core cast. |
| 198 | * LimitedWardrobe: While all characters apply, Ziggy gets a special mention, as it only happens ''after'' he becomes a Ranger. Before that, he used different clothes. |
| 199 | * LogicalLatecomer: He [[ResignedToTheCall accidentally]] becomes the Green Ranger long after most of the others in the season ([[Franchise/PowerRangers and over a dozen series worth]]) have become comfortable in their roles as Rangers. Ziggy ends up developing the most questions about things they normally take for granted -- when Dr. K holds a Q&A session with her Rangers, he asks aloud why they have to [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull scream out a catchphrase when they morph]], why there's [[AwesomenessIsVolatile an epic but random explosion behind them when they do so]], why their [[HumongousMecha zords]] have "big, googly anime eyes" on them, etc. |
| 200 | * TheMafia: Was a member of it. |
| 201 | * MetaGuy: "Weird? Okay, [[ActionGirl you]] cruise around in a giant yellow teddy-bear, okay? I drive a big, green FISH! Look in the mirror, people, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments we're in no position to be sitting in judgment of anything weird!]]" |
| 202 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: During his time in the mafia, on account of being as threatening as a fuzzy pillow. |
| 203 | * MomentKiller: The moment Dillon officially becomes the black ranger, Ziggy ruins it by attempting to take a group photo. |
| 204 | * MotorMouth: To a point where it actively annoys everyone around him. |
| 205 | * NiceGuy: Even when he tries to pull off a tough guy persona, Ziggy never comes off as a brute and shows he is still a nice guy at heart. He doesn't seem interested in being a part of The Scorpion Cartel and only wants to help sick children at the orphanage, even at the risk of his own safety. Even his ButtMonkey status doesn’t waver his friendly demeanor and he always pursued a more positive relationship with his main detractor Dr. K. |
| 206 | * NonActionGuy: He hides behind Dillon in his first fight, and is the only Ranger in history that doesn't get insta-martial arts. He becomes a fairly capable fighter later in the show. |
| 207 | * PassThePopcorn: He is often seen munching on a bag of popcorn when the other Rangers are squabbling with each other/Doctor K. |
| 208 | ** Notably the prison guards are doing the same while he recounts his life story. |
| 209 | * PluckyComicRelief: The most likely member of the team to be used for comic relief. |
| 210 | * ResignedToTheCall: Only reason he can't fork his Morpher to anyone else is because it's locked to him. |
| 211 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Dillon's Manly Man. |
| 212 | * TheSoCalledCoward: While he is never called a coward, the trope still applies. |
| 213 | * TeleportSpam: His suit ability. Used primarily for laughs though. |
| 214 | * ThreateningShark: His AnimalMotif is the Shark... maybe. It's never really revealed what it is other than "fish themed". |
| 215 | * TookALevelInBadass: From a cowardly opportunist we first see in the first episode, to a brave, optimistic, and active ranger ready to defend his loved ones as best he can. |

Equipped with the prototype Gold and Silver suits, and a love of explosions, they wage a private war against Venjix before being recruited partway through the show. |
| 226 | ---- |
| 227 | * ActionGirl: Gemma. |
| 228 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Hiroto is an AloofAlly and Miu is a RichBitch instead of being {{Heroic Comedic Sociopath}}s. (This results in Gem and Gemma being significantly calmer-looking in the Sentai footage.) |
| 229 | * AdaptationalComicRelief: Their Sentai Counterparts Hiroto and Miu are the most serious member of their team compared to the wacky and air-headed Go-Ongers, while Gem and Gemna are goofy and comedic characters. |
| 230 | * AnimalMotifs: |
| 231 | ** NobleBirdOfPrey: Gem's animal theme is the Falcon. |
| 232 | ** PantheraAwesome: Gemma's animal theme is the Tiger. |
| 233 | * {{The Berserker}}s |
| 234 | * BigDamnHeroes: With {{Big Damn Gunship}}s. It's how they first show up as Rangers, blasting Venjix, who up until that point had been unstoppable, out of the skies with ease. |
| 235 | * ChromeChampion: Gold and Silver Rangers. |
| 236 | * CuteAndPsycho: They have the immaturity and docileness of children, the intelligence of Einstein, but are crazier than cat's cradle. |
| 237 | * DeviousDaggers: Each of them wield a Cloud Hatchet that allows them to perform special attacks or combine with their Sky Morphers to form the [=SkyShift=] Blazer. |
| 238 | * TheDividual: Twindividual variety. |
| 239 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Twice. Dr K assumes they died when they were dragged back when they tried to help her escape Alphabet Soup, but turned up later as the {{Sixth Ranger}}s. In the final episode, they get deleted from the biofield, but reappear just fine for the finale.]] |
| 240 | * DitzyGenius: They are smarter than they look. |
| 241 | * ElementalPowers |
| 242 | ** AnIcePerson: Gemma's favored Cloud Hatchet setting. |
| 243 | ** PlayingWithFire: Gem's favored Cloud Hatchet setting. |
| 244 | * FinishingEachOthersSentences: They do this a lot, but largely grow out of it as they work past their NoSocialSkills. |
| 245 | * FreudianExcuse: Like K, they grew up in Alphabet Soup. While she ended up as an antisocial shutin as a result, since she never had any friends to interact with, Gem and Gemma always had each other, resulting in them becoming extremely outgoing. All three have NoSocialSkills, however. |
| 246 | * GenkiGuy and GenkiGirl: Pretty much what can be described as their personality. |
| 247 | * HumanWeapon: Raised to be these by Alphabet Soup and clearly demonstrated by their fighting prowess. |
| 248 | * IncomingHam: Gemma's first on-screen fight has her leaping into battle going "woohoo". |
| 249 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Frequently. At one point, Gem has to have it explained that his gloating about getting the Medal of Valor was striking Scott's WellDoneSonGuy nerve. |
| 250 | * NoSocialSkills: Due to being raised by scientists. |
| 251 | * OnlyFriend: They were the closest thing Dr. K had to friends in Alphabet Soup. Finding out they're alive actually causes her to hug them, and cry. |
| 252 | * OnlyOneName: Probably intentional as Alphabet Soup didn't care enough to give them last names. |
| 253 | * PsychopathicManchild: "We love to blow things up!" |
| 254 | * SingleMindedTwins: They are [[TheDividual twindividual]] who close to each other and like finishing each other's sentence. |
| 255 | * SpectacularSpinning: Gemma in particular likes to spin around when fighting. |
| 256 | --->'''Flynn:''' (upon hearing Gemma wants to build something with him) You and me? Not you and Gem? You're not gonna finish my sentences, are ya? |
| 257 | * ShipTease: Gemma/Flynn |
| 258 | * {{Sixth Ranger}}s: They are sixth and seventh rangers for the team, specifically. |
| 259 | * {{Stepford Smiler}}s: Type C |
| 260 | * ThemeTwinNaming: It may be a play on the Gemini sign. |
| 261 | * WrenchWench: Gemma, who helps Flynn finish the Road Attack Zord. |

| 264 | !!Zord Attack Vehicles |
| 265 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 266 | * AdaptationalNonsapience: The Partner Engines that are on par with humans in intellect from ''Go-Onger'' are adapted into the nonsentient Zord Attack Vehicles that Dr. K made. |
| 267 | * AnimalVehicleHybrid: Downplayed. The Zord Attack Vehicles all resemble a cross between a vehicle and an animal, but unlike their Super Sentai counterparts, they are not sentient. |
| 268 | * TheArtifact: The big googly Anime eyes of the Zords are a big leftover from ''Go-Onger'' due to the Engines being sentient beings. This was lampshaded by Scott in the Ranger Blue episode, but Dr. K claims they are optical field scanners for their cockpits. |
| 269 | * DemotedToExtra: In ''Go-Onger'', the mecha were sentient Engines that serve as the partners for the Rangers. Because ''[=RPM=]'' had a much darker tone, the partner aspect was dropped and the Engines were only used for the Zord battles. |

| 278 | ** KingOfBeasts: Lion Hauler Zord |
| 279 | ** BearsAreBadNews: Bear Crawler Zord |
| 280 | * CombiningMecha: The High Octane Megazord is a result of the first three Zords combining into one. |
| 281 | * CoolSword: The High Octane Megazord's main weapon is the Super Saber. It is normally stored in the left leg of the Megazord. |
| 282 | * FinishingMove: |
| 283 | ** '''High Octane Megazord''': ''Full Power'': With the Super Saber, the Megazord charges at the Attack Bot at full speed before slashing them with a mighty blow. |
| 284 | ** '''With Tail Spinner''': The Megazord spins and energizes the Tail Spinner Zord on its left arm with enough power to destroy the Attack Bot. |
| 285 | ** '''With Wolf Cruiser''': The Megazord fires multiple blasts at the Attack Bot to destroy them. |
| 286 | ** '''With Falcon Chopper and Tiger Jet''': The Megazord launches a fire covered energy arrow at the Attack Bot. |
| 287 | * {{Flight}}: The Eagle Racer Zord is capable of flying once the spoilers on its sides fold out to become wings. |
| 288 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The High Octane Megazord wields a shield made from the Bear Crawler Zord's bottom half. |
| 289 | * MacrossMissileMassacre: The Lion Hauler Zord is equiped with fold out missile launchers on its back. |

| 294 | The Green and Black Rangers's Megazord. It is comprised of the Tail Spinner Zord, Wolf Cruiser Zord, and the Croc Carrierzord. |
| 295 | ---- |
| 296 | * AnimalVehicleHybrid: |
| 297 | ** ThreateningShark: The Tail Spinner Zord. Maybe; it's never actually clarified what creature it's supposed to be, and Ziggy calls it a fish more than once. (In ''Go-Onger'', Birca is explicitly based on an orca whale.) |
| 298 | ** NobleWolf: Wolf Cruiser Zord |
| 299 | ** NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Croc Carrierzord |
| 300 | * ArmCannon: The Wolf Cruiser Zord forms an arm cannon as the Valvemax Megazord's right arm. It can also do so with the High Octane Megazord, the Zenith Megazord, and the Skyrev Megazord. |
| 301 | * AwesomePersonnelCarrier: The Croc Carrierzord is based on a flat bed truck, and there have been times where it carried the Tail Spinner and Wolf Cruiser Zords into battle. |
| 302 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: The Tail Spinner Zord forms a spinning blade as the Valvemax Megazord's left arm. It can also do so with the High Octane Megazord, the Zenith Megazord, and the Skyrev Megazord. |
| 303 | * CombiningMecha: The Valvemax Megazord is a result of the three above Zords. |
| 304 | * {{Expy}}: This could be considered one to the [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Predazord]], as both Megazords have similar animal themes and are formations where the Alligator Zord forms the main body, while a wolf and shark (er, fish) form the limbs. |
| 305 | * FamilyFriendlyFirearms: The Wolf Cruiser's giant-sized bullets from ''Go-Onger'' [[{{Bowdlerize}} were edited to appear as energy blasts]]. |
| 306 | * FinishingMove: |
| 307 | ** '''Valvemax Megazord''': ''Final Strike'', where the Megazord energizes its arms and the mouth on its chest to perform two slashes and a chomp on the Attack Bot with enough force to obliterate them. |
| 308 | ** '''Zenith Megazord''': The Megazord fires energy versions of the Zord components to destroy the Attack Bot. |
| 309 | * MechaExpansionPack: |
| 310 | ** The Tail Spinner Zord and the Wolf Cruiser Zord were originally these for the High Octane Megazord by serving as alternate arms for the latter. Once the Croc Carrierzord enters the picture, they become part of a normal Megazord formation. |
| 311 | ** The Valvemax Megazord can combine with the High Octane Megazord to form the Zenith Megazord. |

| 322 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: The Falcon Chopper Zord forms a rotor blade arm for the Mach Megazord. |
| 323 | * CombiningMecha: The Mach Megazord is a result of the three above Zords. |
| 324 | * {{Flight}}: All three of the Zords are the only ones capable of flying. This is reflective in the Mach Megazord and [=SkyRev=] Megazord formations. |
| 325 | * DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:The Whale Jumbo Jet Zord was deleted by Venjix in the finale, and unlike its Sentai counterpart, it never returned]]. |
| 326 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:While the Falcon Chopper and Tiger Jet Zords were deleted by Venjix in the finale, they were recovered with Gem and Gemma after Dr. K revitalized them with the Bio Field]]. |
| 327 | * FinishingMove: |
| 328 | ** '''Mach Megazord''': ''Energy Power Bow'': The Megazord fires a giant energy bow from its arms towards the Attack Bot. |
| 329 | ** '''[=SkyRev=] Megazord''': The Megazord performs an attack similar to the Zenith Megazord. |
| 330 | * HeelFaceTurn: Insofar as this can apply to a nonsentient attack behicle, but the Whale Jumbo Jet was originally Venjix's doomsday vehicle, and the Rangers weren't able to stop it from launching and attacking Corinth; luckily, Dr. K got the idea to [[LegoGenetics reprogram it with blue whale DNA]], turning it into a friendly Zord. |
| 331 | * HourOfPower: The Whale Jumbo Jet Zord can split its' tail apart to reveal afterburners for a 10-second burst attack (which wreathes it in flames). |
| 332 | * MechaExpansionPack: |
| 333 | ** The Falcon Chopper Zord and the Tiger Jet Zord were originally these for the High Octane Megazord by serving as alternate arms for the latter. Once the Whale Jumbo Jet Zord enters the picture, they become part of a normal Megazord formation. |

| 343 | * BareFistedMonk: The Road Attack Zord fights with its fists instead of having a weapon. |
| 344 | * {{Expy}}: A circular Zord that transforms into a humanoid robot and serves as an assist object for the Megazords. Are we talking about the Road Attack Zord or the [[Series/PowerRangersZeo Warrior Wheel]]? |

| 365 | ** '''[=RPM=] Ultrazord''': The Ultrazord summons energy projections of the High Octane Megazord, Valvemax Megazord, Mach Megazord, and Paleomax Megazord to slash the Attack Bot before charging itself with fire in the process, ramming through them with immense force. |

| 373 | --> ''"I've made errors. But I've also learned that even the most flawed human is better than the most perfect machine."'' |
| 374 | |
| 375 | |
| 376 | A socially crippled genius raised in a secret government facility, Dr. K is the designer of the Ranger technology, and has her own, personal reasons for wanting to see Venjix destroyed. Not particularly trusting, she has a somewhat antagonistic relationship with her team, ''especially'' Ziggy. |
| 377 | ---- |
| 378 | * BadassAdorable: Keeps a weapon in her fridge, and is ''more'' than willing to use it if needed. |
| 379 | * BerserkButton: Don't call the suits "spandex" in front of her, it will cause her to not only loudly correct you but she will have to be held back by the rangers to stop her completely flipping out with you. Not even schoolchildren are safe from her wrath. ("Tights" seems to be OK.) |
| 380 | * BrokenBird: [[spoiler: Being [[NoSocialSkills brought up simply to]] [[ForScience develop technology and software]] all her life, and being told she was photosensitive to keep her from going outdoors, will do that]]. |
| 381 | * BrutalHonesty: She has pretty much no filters, even when she's trying to be nice. For example, telling Summer she looks beautiful in a wedding dress, then admitting she doesn't think so, but that's what she's supposed to say. Most of the brutality comes out in conversation with Ziggy. |
| 382 | * TheBusCameBack: She makes an 11-year return in ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'', first aiding Devon in saving his dad, then helping Nate work through his HeroicBSOD and help [[spoiler:bring an end to the Venjix Virus.]] |
| 383 | * DeadpanSnarker: Though she barely even notices she's snarking. |
| 384 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Takes her a good while into the series to become something even resembling friendly toward the team and half again as long (translation: nearly to the very end of the series) to finally [[spoiler: warm up to Ziggy]]. The sole exceptions are [[spoiler: Gem and Gemma because she already knew them well by the start of the series.]] |
| 385 | * TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Given how Alphabet Soup treated her and finding out about their lies, her releasing Venjix into their systems can be seen like this]]. |
| 386 | * FreudianExcuse: Her aloof, borderline rude attitude and limited social skills make sense when you look into her past. [[spoiler:Raised less as a child and more like a tool by a corrupt government think tank for years to the point of not knowing her own name anymore.]] |
| 387 | * GeniusSweetTooth: She eats enough sweets to give the whole team diabetes. |
| 388 | * IdentityAmnesia: Following her being taken by Alphabet Soup, she was largely kept isolated and forced to work on their projects at the expense of everything else, only ever referred to by her designation: "K". After years of this kind of treatment, she eventually forgot her own birth name and large chunks of her past prior to Alphabet Soup. |
| 389 | * {{Irony}}: Somewhat. When she was growing up in Alphabet Soup, she was told that she was allergic to the sun and could never go outside. This was a lie to make sure she never escaped. However K. is never seen outside without a cloak, the result of her having very sensitive and fair skin from being cooped inside up by a lie. The lie caused the truth in a way. |
| 390 | ** During her time in Alphabet Soup, all she wanted to do was go outside. By the time she was able to leave, it was to a world ravaged by Venjix, [[spoiler:which she created to escape her captors]]. |

| 392 | ** It's Bio-Armor, not spandex! |
| 393 | -->'''Dr. K:''' The material is a self-assembling nano-fiber formed with an inter-cellular shape memory alloy. |
| 394 | ** Schoolkids on a field trip get a Q&A session with the Rangers, and K has to be restrained when the S-word comes up. |
| 395 | ** She is ''very'' insistent on terminology. During the Q&A session she holds with her Series Operators in the beginning of "Ranger Blue", Scott asks her about the eyes in front of their Zords. She tells them that they are not eyes, but that they are actually optical field scanning sensors for their cockpit's displays. But, of course, this doesn't go around the fact that... |
| 396 | -->'''Dillon:''' They look like eyes!\ |
| 397 | '''Ziggy:''' Big, googly {{anime}} eyes. |
| 398 | * LiteralMinded: When Ziggy rhetorically asks Dr. K what could possibly go wrong in attempting teleportation, and she actually gives him a list of worst-case scenarios. She even tells him that she was just answering his (rhetorical) question! |
| 399 | * LittleMissBadass: While she's not a fighter, she can certainly hold her own even when outclassed such as managing to defeat Tenaya 7 using her violin sound cannon and rescue Ziggy from the Scorpion Cartel base. |
| 400 | * LittleMissSnarker: Most of the time she doesn't even realize it. |
| 401 | * MusicalAssassin: Her violin packs quite a punch. |

But in truth this should extend to the organization that was looking after her. As if they had just let her get out once in a while, she would never have made it in the first place and even then they should've at least let her install the firewall. They knew that she was a genius so they should've at least heeded her words]]. |
| 403 | * NoNameGiven: K was refered to by her codename for so long that she doesn't even remember her real one. |
| 404 | * NoSocialSkills: Growing up for majority of her childhood as an isolated genius with only two adults that drop in to tell her to calculate new technology will do that to you. |
| 405 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She admits to Summer that she actually thinks Scott and Dillon are cute, even having measured just how cute they are according to a scale. One of them is apparently a 10 on this scale. Which one? [[RiddleForTheAges She never says]]. |
| 406 | * NotThatKindOfDoctor: She's not a medical doctor, in case you hadn't figure it out already. |
| 407 | * OneLetterName: K. Justified, she doesn't remember her real name. |
| 408 | * SamusIsAGirl: Attempted, with somewhat predictable results. |

| 410 | -->'''Dr. K:''' When I was eleven years old, I was asked to develop a colorless and odorless substance that when added to a person's beverage, it would instantaneously stricken the recipient with diarrhea a thousand times more extreme than the worst case of dysentery ever recorded.

| 411 | ** She says this to Truman as he is raising a cup of coffee to his mouth. |

| 413 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: She can show affection to people that she indeed really does care about, though she overall prefers to remain cold. |
| 414 | * SuperCostumeClothier: She not only created all the ranger gear, she evidently created the costumes themselves . She gets very angry with anyone who mistakes them for spandex. Unlike some ranger uniforms which don't appear to be stored anywhere when not in use Dr. K keeps them in special color coded cabinets in her lab whilst they rangers aren't morphed. |

| 474 | * DeathByOriginStory: His death serves as one of Scott's main motivators in the current day. |
| 475 | * ForegoneConclusion: Revealed to have died in the first few minutes of the first episode. As such, when he's a focus of "Ranger Red", it's already fairly obvious he won't make it through the mission he's sent on. |
| 476 | * PosthumousCharacter: Killed while defending Corinth, and has been dead for well over a year by the time of the series. |

| 524 | |
| 525 | --> ''"I brought a legion. What did ''you'' bring?"'' |
| 526 | |
| 527 | A lethal ComputerVirus that gained sentience and proceeded to TakeOverTheWorld...after reducing the human population to a few million. He's now out to finish the job by annihilating Corinth and the Power Rangers. |
| 528 | |
| 529 | [[spoiler: See [[Characters/PowerRangersBeastMorphers here]] for his tropes as Evox.]] |
| 530 | ---- |
| 531 | * AdaptationalBadass: While Hiramechimedes was a high-ranking Gaiark, he was a subordinate of Yogostein who would mumble and eventually had a VillainousBreakdown. Here, he's repurposed as Venjix's first body, which not only makes him the superior of Yogostein's counterpart Shifter, but also proves to be a bigger problem for the Ranger Operatives. |
| 532 | * AdaptationalVillainy: In regards to Hiramechimedes, he's a complete and utter {{Jerkass}}. His personality totally fits Yogoshimacritein, though, and is likely worse than him too given he actually succeeded in world domination. |
| 533 | * AIIsACrapshoot: More like virus, but still. |
| 534 | * BadBoss: To the point where he'll order the murder of loyal minions for no real reason. This ultimately costs him the war when his plan to allow Tenaya 15 to execute Kilobyte convinces Kilobyte to try and kill her first, leading to Dillon's saving of Tenaya. |
| 535 | * BadassBoast: His first line: "I am Venjix! Your world is now MY world, and YOUR time is now OVER!" |
| 536 | ** Another one in "Embodied:" "I am Venjix! The one, immortal ME!" |
| 537 | * BeardOfEvil: Sports a truly magnificent one in his most advanced, final body. |
| 538 | * BigBad: For this series. |
| 539 | * BreakoutVillain: [[spoiler:To date, he is the first Power Rangers villain to be the BigBad of two separate seasons. Only Lord Zedd would ever gain that honor after him in ''Cosmic Fury'', which is the franchise's GrandFinale of the original continuity speaking volumes to Venjix's overall popularity.]] |
| 540 | * CaptainErsatz: Of [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL 9000]], [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Skynet]] and ComicBook/{{Ultron}} with the [[Film/{{Tron}} MCP's]] voice thrown in for good measure. |
| 541 | * CompositeCharacter: Of Land Pollution Vice-Minister Hiramechimedes and Yogoshimacritein of ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger.'' [[spoiler:''[[Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers Beast Morphers]]'' adds Messiah of ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'' into the mix]]. |
| 542 | * CurbStompBattle: When he faces off against the Rangers for the first time. If it wasn't for [[spoiler: Gem and Gemma]] he would have easily won. |
| 543 | * CyberCyclops: In his cylinder form. |
| 544 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In ''Go-Onger'', Yogoshimacritein was destroyed when the RPM Ultrazord ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice. Being too FamilyUnfriendlyViolence for ''Power Rangers'' (and also likely due to ''RPM'''s budget issues), his final body was instead destroyed [[ColonyDrop when a tower was dropped on him]]. [[spoiler:Emphasis on just his ''body'' being destroyed]]. |
| 545 | * DoubleWeapon: [[spoiler: Wields a double-ended staff with spikes on each end in his final form.]] |
| 546 | * EvilCounterpart: Perhaps unintentionally, of Zordon. He has a proper and booming voice, communicates to his men from a floor-to-ceiling cylinder, his lair resembles the original Command Center and it's even located in the desert. |
| 547 | * EvilSoundsDeep: He has THE deepest voice of all PR villains. |
| 548 | * {{Expy}}: While obviously one of [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Skynet]], he bears several similarities to ComicBook/{{Ultron}} as well. He's a sentient A.I. [[spoiler: created by one of the heroes]] who aspires to destroy all humanity, creates robot underlings to aid him in plans, and creates new, upgraded bodies for himself when his old ones are destroyed by the heroes. |
| 549 | * FightingAShadow: Twice the Rangers thought they had destroyed Venjix but he always came back. |
| 550 | --> ''"I am Venix! I am immortal! I can download my being into many bodies, many forms, but always ME. Always unstoppable!"'' |
| 551 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Went from a simple computer virus [[spoiler:created by Dr. K]], to the being who nearly brought about the extinction of humanity [[spoiler: [[Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers twice]]]]. |
| 552 | * KillAllHumans: His goal. |
| 553 | * KnightOfCerebus: There is nothing humorous about the villain with one of the highest body counts in the franchise. |
| 554 | * LargeHam / EvilIsHammy: Delivers almost all of his dialogue in the hammiest manner possible. |
| 555 | * LightningBruiser: His first body is one of these, being fast enough to dodge the Rangers' attacks, durable enough to withstand them, and capable of defeating them all in a few blows. |
| 556 | * MakeMyMonsterGrow: Just like many other {{Big Bad}}s in the previous series. "Begin the download, now." This causes a growth program to be downloaded into the attack bots (while some sorta revitalizing fuel is pumped through them, [[TheArtifact which was the Sentai method of growth]]). On some occasions his generals, or even the attack bots themselves, issue the command. |
| 557 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: [[spoiler: He eventually creates an Attack Bot that serves as his avatar when he wishes to combat the Rangers.]] |
| 558 | * MightyGlacier: His final body is so huge and slow as to be almost immobile, but can take any punishment the Rangers care to throw at it, and when he hits them, they go down very swiftly. |
| 559 | * {{No Nonsense Nemesis}}: Venjix is the only ''PR'' villain who's managed to TakeOverTheWorld, mostly thanks to [[ApocalypseHow killing off almost all of humanity and turning most of the world into a barren wasteland]]. Thus, he has no compunctions about eliminating the Rangers, no humor (humor is limited strictly to his underlings), and was only following [[MonsterOfTheWeek the usual]] [[MakeMyMonsterGrow playbook]] to disguise his ''real'' plan ([[spoiler: infiltrating Corinth with [[ManchurianAgent tons of sleeper agents]]]]). |
| 560 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: The ending of the series implies that he survived the explosion and ended up in Scott's morpher. Though ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'' revealed only a portion of his data survived, which was enough to eventually become said series' BigBad, Evox.]] |
| 561 | * OneManArmy: Any time he downloads into a body, it will likely be one of these. |
| 562 | * OneSteveLimit: An aversion - he has nothing to do with the [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce previous]] Venjix. Complete coincidence, or a reference that was taken too seriously? ''You'' decide. |
| 563 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: For the earlier episodes; all he did was MakeMyMonsterGrow. Justified that for the first half of the series, he ''was'' just a pillar. |
| 564 | * RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: While Yogoshimacreitin is Yogostein's father, Shifter's only connection to him is that he's a robot creation of his whom he just happens to wants to make a new body out of him after his destruction. |
| 565 | * SealedEvilInACan: It began its existence more or less as a sealed evil. The program for the sentient, self-replicating, computer virus was initially created and contained in a single laptop. That is until Dr. K, in a attempt to escape her circumstances, decided to infect Alphabet Soup's computer network with the virus but was stopped short from installing a firewall to prevent further spread. The result was an infection of nearly every computer system connected to the internet and the destruction of nearly the entire human race. It is hinted that it also becomes one of these again, as opposed to being destroyed, at the end of ''RPM'' with the Venjix Palace music playing as the camera focuses in on Ranger Red's morpher with a blinking red light. [[spoiler:It's eventually confirmed this was the case until he was reincarnated into Evox]]. |
| 566 | * TheSociopath: He may be a virus rather than a biological being, but he still qualifies. He betrayed his creator of his own free will, feels nothing for killing or brainwashing of the human population and abuses his own robot creations for any reason he comes up with, showing he cares for nothing but himself and enjoys bringing an end to humanity. |
| 567 | * StaffOfAuthority: Carries a double-ended staff in his final form, which [[BoomStick can fire energy blasts]]. |
| 568 | * TakeOverTheWorld: Also his goal, beside killing all humans. |
| 569 | * TooDumbToLive: In the final episode, after Gem and Gemma destroy the Control Tower's supports it takes about 45 seconds for it to fall from the roof of the dome to the ground, he just stands directly under the tower preparing for his [[BigNo demise]] when all he needed to do was survive it was to simply move out of the way, It's rather unbelievable that this was the being that destroyed the Earth yet he can't even see danger coming from a mile away. Of course, this ends up being a SubvertedTrope in the end as Dr. K shuts the briefcase containing the Ranger Series morphers...with [[TheEndOrIsIt a familiar red glow]] emitting from Ranger Series Red's morpher, and with his leitmotif playing softly in the background. Granted, before the tower fell, Dr. K had downloaded another virus inside him in order to corrupt his data, so it's possible he had to fight to maintain control of his body, and he already knew he would survive. |
| 570 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: As serious as ''RPM'' is, it's still ''Power Rangers''. It still features humor like a talent show to find a green ranger or Dr. K's slippers. Venjix is the source of all seriousness in this season. |

| 580 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Unlike Yogostein, he is nowhere close to an AntiVillain, and has no DeathEqualsRedemption for him, or any HeelFaceTurn at all. |
| 581 | * CombatTentacles: Manifests them after using the Hyperbot's arm to upgrade himself. |
| 582 | * CurbStompBattle: Is on the receiving end of one by a furious [[spoiler:Scott who destroys him with little effort]]. |

| 588 | * NonIndicativeName: The big guy who looks like he could crunch you is Shifter. |
| 589 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Though largely played straight, he does have moments of goofiness, including messing around with air tubes in "In or Out" and not realizing his own distorted reflection in "Doctor K". |
| 590 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Is a capable enough threat, especially once he [[spoiler:strikes out on his own]]. |
| 591 | * PeoplePuppets: Turns Scott into one as part of his master plan. [[spoiler:This comes back to bite him later by a vengeful Scott in return]]. |
| 592 | * RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: Very downplayed but in ''Go-Onger'' his counterpart was Yogoshimacriten's son who sought to make his father proud out of familial love, here he is just one of Venjix's creations and his loyalty is that of a typical lackey. |

| 601 | |
| 602 | One of Venjix's generals, though his job remains largely undefined. |
| 603 | ---- |
| 604 | * AdaptationalDumbass: Kitaneidas was actually the EvilGenius of the villains. Meanwhile, here, while not an idiot (at least after the first handful of episodes), he's practically insane with a majority of his wit and intellect reduced for comedic effect. |
| 605 | * AdaptationalJerkass: While dumber than Kitaneidas, like Shifter, Crunch is no AntiVillain, and doesn't get any redemption. |
| 606 | * CarryABigStick: Wields a club/staff combination. |
| 607 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A bizarre, obsessive, and ''immensely'' dangerous lackey. |
| 608 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Kitaneidas gets used by [[BadBoss Yogoshimacritein]] as a HumanShield, while Crunch is stuck in the control tower when it collapses. |
| 609 | * DumbMuscle: Embarrassingly so. |
| 610 | * DumbassHasAPoint: That said, he raises good questions to Venjix, {{Lampshading}} the conventions of a usual ''Power Rangers'' show: |
| 611 | -->I have a question, your most Venjixness. Are you going to [[MakeMyMonsterGrow supersize the Nozz-Bot now]], or wait until the Rangers defeat it first? |
| 612 | ** Or: |
| 613 | -->Seeing as I'm already a mess, I'm just going to ask. Why do we never send in the drones whenever the city's shields are down? |
| 614 | ** Both times, he gets blasted. |
| 615 | ** Notably, when he was left in charge and created the Balloon Bot, he ''immediately'' begins the growth download after the attack bot made it into Corinth. Makes you wonder how more effective Venjix could've been had he followed Crunch's advice more often. |
| 616 | * GigglingVillain: Constantly. |
| 617 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:When the Corinth control tower is dropped onto Venjix]]. |
| 618 | * NonIndicativeName: The shifty-looking guy is Crunch. |
| 619 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: He's a capable enough fighter, and his balloon monster, while ridiculous looking, wasn't any easier to defeat than the rest of Venjix's monsters. |
| 620 | * TheResenter: Towards Tenaya 7, and anyone else who stands higher in Venjix's good graces than he does. |
| 621 | * ServileSnarker: See DumbassHasAPoint above. |
| 622 | * SmartJerkAndNiceMoron: {{Downplayed}}, as he ''is'' still a villain, but he's the nice(r) moron to General Shifter. |
| 623 | * VocalEvolution: He had a much deeper, slightly goofier voice in his first couple of appearances before his actor started portraying him in a more crazy fashion (and they dropped the vocal processing that made the voice deep). |
| 624 | * WhatExactlyIsHisJob: As stated, he doesn't have a very clear role in Venjix's organization. Shifter (and then Kilobyte) handles the creation of attack bots, while Tenaya leads infiltration and ground battles. Presumably Crunch handles anything else not under their purviews. In one episode he took the lead (with the aforementioned balloon-bot) while Venjix was absent, even initiating the growth download. |

| 632 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Kegalesia is TheLadette and NOT a BrainwashedAndCrazy DeadpanSnarker in ''Go-onger''. |

[[spoiler:In the ensuing fight, she sustains an injury on her arm that bleeds human blood for the first time she can remember, [[TomatoInTheMirror proving Dillon was telling the truth]] and causing her to stare at it in shock before running off.

| 667 | One of Venjix's most trusted generals, he was believed to have been lost during the war. He returns two thirds of the way through the series, and challenges Tenaya for the position of Venjix's right-hand robot, winning out. Arrogant and highly protective of his position, he is nonetheless one of the Rangers' most capable adversaries. |
| 668 | ---- |
| 669 | * AdaptationExpansion: ''RPM'' makes him a major villain, as opposed to his Sentai counterpart who only appeared for three episodes. |
| 670 | * AdaptationalSexuality: Kireizky would never consider lusting over Kegalesia. |
| 671 | * BadassCape: He wears one. |
| 672 | * BadassInANiceSuit: His mantle has the appearance of a tie and lapels. |
| 673 | * CurbStompBattle: He's introduced giving one to Tenaya 7 and delivers a brutal one to the entire Ranger team during their first battle. During "Danger & Destiny" he inflicts another one on Tenaya 15 ''and'' Dillon, nearly killing them before he's [[spoiler:fatally]] interrupted. |
| 674 | * DeadpanSnarker: Especially towards Tenaya. |
| 675 | * {{Determinator}}: Walked 6,000-something miles from wherever he was to Venjix's palace. |
| 676 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Kireizky goes down fighting Engine-Oh G-12; Kilobyte survives the RPM Ultrazord battle and is later destroyed by the Road Blaster. |
| 677 | * TheDragon: Replaces Tenaya 7 in this role, and fights to keep it from Tenaya 15. |
| 678 | * EnigmaticMinion: [[spoiler:His loyalty never wavers, but he's ''very'' protective of his position, leading him to occasionally go behind Venjix's back.]] |
| 679 | * EvilBrit: Both his first and second voice actors affect appropriately snooty British accents. |

| 684 | * InTheBack: Does this to Tenaya. [[spoiler:Is on the receiving end of it from Scott, Summer, and Flynn]]. |
| 685 | * IronicEcho: "No one likes a cheap shot." He says it twice: the first time when Tenaya 7 tries to stab him in the back, and the second time when he shoots her in the back. |
| 686 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Shot InTheBack by Summer, Scott, and Flynn moments before he can finish off Dillon and Tenaya]]. |
| 687 | * KlingonPromotion: Inverted. Rightly fearing that Tenaya 15--his own creation--will replace him as Venjix's favored general, he moves to kill her while Venjix is distracted by conquering Corinth. |
| 688 | * LightningBruiser: Slim. Agile. Well-armored. Hits like a freight train. There's a reason he's Venjix's most feared general. |
| 689 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: His battle with Tenaya 15 becomes one of these by the end, as he slowly beats her into scrap. |
| 690 | * OneManArmy: Takes on all the Rangers and Corinth's defense forces in his first appearance, and cuts through an army of Grinders in his second. |
| 691 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Racist towards humans and sexist towards females. |
| 692 | * TheRival: To Tenaya 7/15. |
| 693 | * RoboticPsychopath: Kilobyte is what he is because Venjix built him that way. |
| 694 | * SinisterScimitar: Wields one. |
| 695 | * TheStarscream: He goes rogue and betrays Venjix near the end of the series, due to being unappreciated by him. |
| 696 | * StayInTheKitchen |
| 697 | --> "You think because I look like a human girl, I can't bring it." |

| 707 | A new general who menaces the [[Series/PowerRangersSamurai next two]] [[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Ranger teams]]. |
| 708 | ---- |
| 709 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Like most of the RPM villains, he has none of the weird quirks or comedic moments that Batcheed has. Though since he is merely a general rather than the GreaterScopeVillain, it is also subverted (he's loyal to Venjix and unlike his Sentai counterpart, never used Sergeant Tread as a living shield.) |
| 710 | * TheChessmaster: Relies on elaborate schemes to remove the resident Rangers from the equations. |
| 711 | * CompositeCharacter: A hybrid of Shinkenger’s Batcheed and Gokaiger’s Babatcheed. |
| 712 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: His first counterpart’s death was at the hands of the combined forces of the Shinkengers’ Origami and the Go-Ongers’ Engines. Cog’s first death is at the hands of Scott and Jayden using Shark Attack and Super Samurai mode, respectively. His second death however, remained unchanged. |
| 713 | * DragonAscendant: After Venjix has been dead for years, he is now leading the remaining Grinders. |
| 714 | * EvilVersusEvil: Comes face-to-face with [[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Prince Vekar and co.]] in his second appearance. |
| 715 | * PokeThePoodle: He steals a tractor to travel to Harwood County. |
| 716 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: In a sense. Despite being an RPM villain by faction, he fought against the Samurai and Mega Rangers in his appearances, with the only RPM Ranger he faced being Scott. |
| 717 | * TookALevelInDumbass: His first appearance had him orchestrating an elaborate plan that almost went off without a hitch. By the time of “In The Driver’s Seat”, he’s basically a bumbler who whines about things not going his way (which happens a lot in that episode). |
| 718 | * VillainTeamUp: With Master Xandred in return for the Sanzu River water, which he intends to use to [[WaterSourceTampering poison the water hole.]] |

| 733 | [[folder:Attack Bots]] |
| 734 | !!In General |
| 735 | * AdaptedOut: Water Pollution Prince Nigorl zo Arelunbra, Bakki, Lumbiaco, Engine Banki, Shower Banki, Yatai Banki, and Bin Banki were not adapted from ''Go-Onger''. |
| 736 | * TheArtifact: Why would weird machines based on appliances and junk, and not [[DigitalAbomination digital abominations]], be the antagonists in a post-apocalyptic series about a computer virus that has infected the world? Because those designs are taken from a ''Super Sentai'' show which is about environmentalism and pollution. |
| 737 | * TheVoiceless: Unless they have a credit, none of the Attack Bots spoke. |
| 738 | |
| 739 | !!Generation 5 Attack Bot |
| 740 | An incinerator themed Attack Bot, and the first one Venjix sent against Corinth. |
| 741 | ---- |
| 742 | * AdaptationExpansion: Due to stretching out the Sentai footage used, Generation 5 Attack Bot appeared in two episodes as opposed to Incinerator Banki's one. |
| 743 | * BareFistedMonk: Can fight with its fists pretty well despite the lack of weapons. |
| 744 | * PlayingWithFire: Can fire fireballs from his shoulder mounted pipes. |

| 752 | * ChestBlaster: This where his concrete blasts come from. |
| 753 | * CombatTentacles: The pipe on his left arm can wrap around anything. |
| 754 | * IHaveManyNames: The show calls him Generation 9 Amphibious Attack Bot, but he's referred to as Water Hoser in the credits. |

| 757 | |
| 758 | !!Subterranean Plutonic Gopher Bot |

| 768 | * ReplacementGoldfish: Its whole existence was to be Tenaya 7's replacement after she failed to acquire the Green Rev Shift Morpher from the previous episode. It didn't matter though as it was destroyed by the end of the episode. |

| 770 | !!Magnetron |
| 771 | ->'''Voiced by''': Campbell Cooley |
| 772 | A magnet themed Attack Bot sent to steal the city's shield codes. |
| 773 | ---- |
| 774 | * ExclusiveEnemyEquipment: During the Megazord fight, Magnetron stole the High Octane Megazord's Super Saber and used it agaisnt the Rangers. |
| 775 | * MagnetismManipulation: Being a magnet themed monster, it's not surprising. |
| 776 | * TheUnintelligible: Despite having a voice actor, he spoke only in sounds. |

| 788 | * SensoryOverload: Uses its Sonic Bombardment Cannons as its main weapon. |
| 789 | * WeNeedADistraction: Its main purpose was to distract the weapons as Tenaya 7 stole a diamond for another Attack Bot. |
| 790 | |
| 791 | !!Camera Attack Bot |
| 792 | A lens themed Attack Bot. |
| 793 | ---- |
| 794 | * DemotedToExtra: In '"Go-Onger'', Camera Banki's secret role was to take pictures of the Megazords so the following Banki (which would become Generation 12 Reflects Bot a few episodes later in ''Power Rangers'') would use them against the Rangers. Here, Camera Attack Bot does not do that and is treated as a run of the mill monster. |
| 795 | |
| 796 | !!Drill Attack Bot |
| 797 | A boring themed Attack Bot sent to dig into one of the two main fault lines that Corinth sits on. |
| 798 | ---- |
| 799 | * EarthquakeMachine: Basically it ''was'' a machine sent to create earthquakes. |
| 800 | * MakeMyMonsterGrow: Instead of growing thanks to Venjix's virus download, the Drill Attack Bot grew by using the magma's energy. |
| 801 | * PlayingWithFire: Could spew magma from its mouth. |
| 802 | * ThisIsADrill: Themed after a boring machine and has pointed drills on its arms. |
| 803 | |
| 804 | !!Generation 12 Reflects Bot |
| 805 | Venjix created two of these mirror themed Attack Bot. |
| 806 | ---- |
| 807 | * DecompositeCharacter: There were two models of the Reflect Bot where in the Sentai, their was only one Mirror Banki. |
| 808 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: unintentionally. When Tenaya tried to use the offline Reflects Bot to copy Dr. K's cannon, he instead copied the Overthruster needed for the Rangers to form the new Zenith Megazord. Once Dr. K grabbed and installed the reactor, the Rangers were able to form the Zenith Megazord. |
| 809 | * PowerCopying: With its Molecular Mirroring System, it can copy its opponents weapons for it to use. For the [=ValveMax=] Megazord, it copied the Wolf Cruiser and Tail Spinner zords. |
| 810 | * TrojanHorse: The first served as this as it appeared to have a system failure but in truth was use to sneak Tenaya into the ranger base so that while the Rangers fight second Reflect Bot, Tenaya could attack their base. |
| 811 | * TheWorfEffect: Was stronger than the two Megazords, but soon lost when the two combined into the Zenith Megazord. |
| 812 | |

| 819 | * MakingASplash: He can fire water from his cannons. |
| 820 | * WeNeedADistraction: Venjix sent this Attack Bot out to distract the Rangers while Sat Bot snuck into Corinth. |

| 827 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses what looks to be a broom as a weapon. |
| 828 | * ShockAndAwe: It could emit purple lightning from its head. |
| 829 | * WeNeedADistraction: Venjix sent this Attack Bot out to distract the Rangers while Sat Bot continued to cause havoc in Corinth. |

| 837 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In ''Go-Onger'', he's destroyed by [=GunBir=]-Oh (the Valvemax Megazord's Sentai counterpart). In ''Power Rangers'', he's destroyed by the RPM Enforcer. |
| 838 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: Sat Bot was the one who took Dillon's original memories from him, and even taunted that his death would lead to them to go away forever. Dillion had to make the difficult choice to end Sat Bot's life. |
| 839 | * MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning: After his destruction, Dr. K discovered that it activated Dillon's cybernetics, and had the virus inside himself grow until he was under Venjix's control. Or at least it would have, if Dr. K didn't use the original base code to keep it dormant in the following episode. |
| 840 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: While he's just a normal monster, his actions lead Dr. K to reveal to the Rangers that she was the one who created the Venjix virus in the first place. |

| 874 | * InformedAbility: According to Dr. K, Generation 16 Saw Bot had the data of the Megazords at the time, so it was able to match their skills. It was never shown as she instead had Gem and Gemma fight the Attack Bot with the brand new Mach Megazord. |

| 876 | |
| 877 | !!Balloon Bot |

| 884 | ---- |
| 885 | * AllWebbedUp: It can shoot out threads strong enough to capture a Megazord. |
| 886 | * TheWorfEffect: Strong enough to fight off three Megazords, but it was no match against the [=SkyRev=] Megazord. |
| 887 | |
| 888 | !!Manhole Bot |
| 889 | A manhole themed Attack Bot seen attacking city hall. |
| 890 | ---- |

| 910 | * CompositeCharacter: Uses the suit for Straw Banki, but the plot he appears in was that of Shower Banki. |
| 911 | * ForcedSleep: With its toxins, it could put people to sleep. However, it could only put the men to sleep as Gem and Gemma destroyed the toxin for the women. |

| 920 | ---- |
| 921 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: During one of its first battles against the Rangers, it deflected a blast that awakened the [=PaleoMax=] zords. This led to the Rangers acquiring a new Megazord by the episodes end. |

| 930 | |
| 931 | !!Generation 16 Hyper Bot |

| 933 | ---- |
| 934 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Thanks to sampling the wavelengths and matrix data of the Bio Field, Hyper Bot could control any of the Ranger's tech, such as the [=PaleoMax=] Megazord. |
| 935 | * DemotedToExtra: Hyper Bot's role in ''Go-Onger'' was fighting the [=PaleoMax=] zords in the prehistoric era, and was the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. This does not apply to Hyper Bot in ''Power Rangers'' as Shifter made it in the present. |
| 936 | * WolverineClaws: Has these for the lack of weapons. |
| 937 | * TheWorfEffect: It was one of the toughest opponents the Rangers had fought, but they eventually won out after forming the RPM Ultrazord. |

| 966 | |
| 967 | The head of the Scorpion Cartel, and one of the most powerful mobsters in Corinth, Fresno Bob has it in for Ziggy, who once robbed him of five million dollars worth of medical supplies. Ruthless and uncaring, he is willing to cut deals with anyone if it will get him his revenge. |
| 968 | ---- |
| 969 | %% Doesn't explain what the reaction is.* BerserkButton: Don't call him Bobarino. |
| 970 | * BigBadWannabe: While he may think of himself as a big deal, in comparison to literally ''every'' other threat in the series, he's basically nothing. |
| 971 | * DealWithTheDevil: He traded Tenaya equipment to destroy humanity, just so he could get his hands on Ziggy. |
| 972 | * TheDon: Invoked so very hard. |
| 973 | * TheDreaded: Amongst Corinth's criminal element. |
| 974 | * EvilOldFolks: Fairly old compared to a majority of the human cast, and a truly unlikable, disgusting human being. |
| 975 | * HateSink: While Venjix and his goons are comparatively far worse, Fresno Bob makes up for it by being a ''lot'' more unlikable. At basic |
| 976 | * IOweYouMyLife: How Bob and Ziggy eventually bury the hatchet. |
| 977 | * MakeWayForTheNewVillains: Introduced in order to make Tenaya look like a bigger deal through his early defeat. |
| 978 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: As the Godfather of the mafia, it's only natural. |
| 979 | * RevengeBeforeReason: Willing to put the whole human race at stake in order to kill Ziggy. |
| 980 | * ShamingTheMob: Attempted by Ziggy to end their rivalry. |

| 985 | [[folder:Alphabet Soup]] |
| 986 | !!Alphabet Soup |
| 987 | |
| 988 | A corrupt Government facility that played a hand in Dr. K's backstory and how Venjix came to be. |
| 989 | ---- |
| 990 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: It is never revealed exactly why they [[spoiler: needed to kidnap young geniuses to work for them]], though considering what they were used for, it's unlikely they were for very noble purposes. |
| 991 | * AssholeVictim: Alphabet Soup is basically no more after Venjix's successful attack on the world with it's members either dead or imprisoned. Yet given that they kidnapped and lied to innocent children for being smart and pretty much caused Venjix's threat level by refusing to let Dr. K stop it, nobody's going to miss these guys or care what happened to them either way. |
| 992 | * TheFaceless: We never see the faces of the two Agents who kidnapped and supervised Dr. K. |
| 993 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:They kidnapped children like Dr. K who had amazing intelligence and worked them to the bone, resulting in them forgetting their old lives and names. Dr. K turned one of their projects against them, but it spread far beyond Alphabet Soup and caused the end of the world. That project? [[BigBad Venjix]].]] |
| 994 | ** [[spoiler: This would make them such to ''Power Rangers Beast Morphers''. Yes, Nate unintentionally brought Venjix back via an experiment with the morpher he was trapped in, snake DNA, and Morph X creating Evox, thus causing that season's conflict. But there wouldn't be an Evox to unintentionally create if they hadn't kidnapped smart people, lied to them, and prevented Venjix's rise to power from being stopped.]] |
| 995 | * HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Apart from Venjix and his army of robots, Alphabet Soup is shown to be just as sinister and are responsible for [[spoiler: not allowing Dr. K to install a firewall in her laptop to stop Venjix from infecting other computers and taking over the world.]] |
| 996 | * LackOfEmpathy: They were willing to kill Dr. K and let the world be destroyed than let anyone know [[spoiler: they were responsible for Venjix.]] |
| 997 | * LaserGuidedKarma: They kidnapped Dr. K as a child and made her forget even her real name, making her create weapons and advanced technology for them. [[spoiler:One of the results of the work she did for them became Venjix, who destroyed most of humanity. After her escape, any member of Alphabet Soup is either dead or heading to prison.]] |
