Space Rangers

    In General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/is_rangers.jpg
The Space Rangers
  • Adaptational Badass: Because the rangers constantly grow in power and experience, the Space Rangers are stronger than the Turbo Rangers, whereas in the original Sentai there is nothing to indicate that one generation is more powerful or weaker than another.
  • Composite Character: Because of the nature of the Zordon era, outside of Andros (though he's still an example as seen below) and Zhane, the Power Rangers are a mash-up of Gekisou Sentai Carranger and Denji Sentai Megaranger, only because of the team change-over in Power Rangers Turbo, T.J., Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley are only a fusion of those two teams.
  • Discard and Draw: With the loss of the Turbo powers in the Turbo finale, T.J., Carlos, Cassie and Ashley now become the Space Rangers.
  • Fish out of Water: T.J., Cassie, Carlos and Ashley take a while to get used to space travel. Likewise, Andros doesn't adjust to Earth as quickly.
  • Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: The guys' personal weapons are used for melee combatnote  while the girls' personal weapons are guns.
  • Iconic Sequel Character: They are the seventh team introduced in the franchise but are undoubtedly one of the most popular ones.
  • Took a Level in Badass: T.J. Cassie, Carlos and Ashley all get to show off how far they've come since they became the Power Rangers. Highlights include T.J.'s use of strategy, Carlos in "Always A Chance" and the entire team in "Countdown To Destruction".
  • Transformation Trinket:
    • The main five Rangers use the Astro Morphers as their means of morphing. In order for it to work, the Rangers must punch in 3-3-5 and Enter.
    • Zhane's morpher is the Digitizer, a cell-phone like device. Like the others, Zhane must punch in a number combination to morph (in this case, its 2-5-8-0, which spells out MEGA).

    Andros / Red Space Ranger 

Andros / Red Space Ranger

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pris_rg_andros.jpg

Portrayed by Christopher Khayman Lee
Voiced by: Gabriel Gama (Latin American Spanish), Soichiro Hoshi (Japanese)

I will never stop searching.

Andros was the Red Space Ranger, and the person searching for Zordon at the start of the season. While reluctant to work with the four former Turbo Rangers, he eventually allowed them to join him in his quest. His other goal is to find out the secret of his missing sister, Karone.


  • Adaptation Species Change: Andros is a Human Alien while his Megaranger counterpart is human.
  • Adaptational Personality Change: Andros' Megaranger counterpart, Kenta, was an Idiot Hero and Hot-Blooded; Andros is a lot smarter, cooler-headed and a loner.
  • Badass Boast: "If you're on the side of evil, say Goodbye!"
  • Character Development: Andros started cold towards the other rangers, including his future girlfriend. However, as the series progresses, Andros becomes nicer and more confident, due to his relationship with Ashley.
  • Composite Character:
    • While he's not fused with anyone from Carranger, he is a fusion of Kenta and Professor Kubota {albeit sharing that role with Zordon).
    • His role as leader of the team is taken from Kouichirou Endou (Mega-Black).
  • Character Tic: He keeps his hair untied and often unknowingly tucks a strand behind his ear.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Starts as very aloof to the rest of the team, but it doesn't take long for him to come around.
  • Establishing Character Moment: His first appearance in the show establishes that he's no rookie after he infiltrates the villains with a cloak and fights his way through them when discovered.
  • Experienced Protagonist: While the rest of the team were Rangers before In Space started, Andros and Zhane have been fighting the good fight for far longer than they have.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: In the chapter titled "Red with Envy", where Andros reacts this way to Zhane (as he perceives it) when he spends time with Ashley. He gets better, after clarifying the misunderstanding.
  • Heroes Prefer Swords: His main weapon is the Spiral Saber, which doubles as a drill.
    • BFG: The Spiral Saber Booster Mode (a combination of the Spiral Saber and the Astro Blaster).
  • Human Aliens: He's not from Earth.
  • I Work Alone: He isn't too happy to see the old guard. He dumps them on the nearest planet and leaves.
  • Iconic Outfit: His cloak made such an impact, he wears it in both his team-up appearances.
  • In the Hood: The above-mentioned cloak.
  • Ineffectual Loner: Starts off not wanting anything to do with the other Rangers. Naturally this doesn't stick.
  • Law of Chromatic Superiority: The Red Ranger and the first one to get a Battlizer.
  • The Leader: To the Rangers.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: Not all the time, but when he's upset enough, he tends to throw strategy out the window. TJ calls him out on this.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Probably among the most handsome Red Rangers to date.
  • Meaningful Name: Andros means "man", and in many ways, he's the most human of the Space Rangers, despite being an alien.
  • Memento MacGuffin: His locket.
  • Mind over Matter: He can move things with his mind. It only works for small objects though, and as such it's more of a parlor trick than something that can be used in a fight.
  • My Sister Is Off-Limits: He is not happy to hear that Zhane had dated Karone.
  • Official Couple: With Ashley.
  • Only One Name: His last name is unknown.
  • Psychic Powers: Has the power of telekinesis. He rarely uses it, though. Justified since it takes a lot of focus to use (something people generally don't have the luxury of in a fight) and he can only lift small objects. It's more of a parlor trick than fighting ability. Andros implies that this ability isn't specific to natives of KO-35 and could be taught to the other rangers given enough time.
  • Pretty Boy: Ashley certainly thought so.
  • Protagonist Power-Up Privileges: Has the honor of being the very first red ranger to receive a battlizer.
  • Related in the Adaptation: In Megaranger, neither Dr. Hinelar or Shibolena, Karone's counterparts, are related to Kenta/MegaRed. And as Karone eventually becomes the second pink ranger of the succeeding team, this also extends to Saya/GingaPink.
  • Red Is Heroic: Inverted - he's the most experienced member of the core team, both as a Ranger and a space traveller. "You're planetary Rangers, from Earth. What do you know about space?"
    • On the other hand, he has trouble working with the team and is a new leader to the other Rangers, requiring them both to learn to trust each other.
  • Sarcasm-Blind
    Adelle: It's a surfboard. What planet are you from?
    Andros: KO-35. You know of it?
    Adelle: Smart aleck.
    Andros: Aleck? No, I'm Andros.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Zhane's Manly Man.
  • Shoot the Dog: Forced to do this at the end of the series. To save the universe, he has to kill Zordon.
  • Socially Awkward Hero: He's introduced infiltrating and escaping a gathering of every major villain with barely a scratch. Asking out a girl he likes, on the other hand...
  • Sole Survivor: According to his actor in an interview, the other four morphers he gave the others belonged to four other Rangers who died before the series, meaning until Zhane resurrected he was the last surviving member of his team.
  • Super Mode: Was the first Red Ranger to get a Battlizer, as seen in "Mission to Secret City".
  • Survivor Guilt: His loner attitude in the first episode is implied to be the result of Zhane performing a Heroic Sacrifice to protect him. The actor's personal belief that the four other morphers belonged to Rangers who perished adds to this.
  • This Is a Drill: Has the Spiral Saber as his main weapon.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pris_rg_zhane.jpg

Portrayed by: Justin Nimmo
Voiced by: Irwin Daayán (Latin American Spanish), Masaya Matsukaze (Japanese)

Years ago, Zhane fought with Andros as the Silver Space Ranger, but during an attack on KO-35, he was critically injured and placed in a cryogenic pod. Two years later, Zhane would reawaken during an attack on the Astro Megaship, and joined his best friend and new teammates from time to time.


The Zords

     Astro Megaship 

Astro Megaship/Astro Megazord

The Astro Megaship is the home base to the Space Rangers and serves as their transportation to travel the galaxy. When combined with the Astro Megashuttle, it forms the Astro Megazord.
  • Adaptational Early Appearance: The NASADA Shuttle (as the Megashuttle was known at the time) appeared at the end of Turbo.
  • Ascended Extra:
    • For the Megaship. While it did serve as a base in Megarangers, it was primarily for the I.N.E.T. crew and was eventually phased out later in the season for a moon base. Here, the Astro Megaship is the home base for the Rangers from the start of the season to the end.
    • For the Astro Megazord. Once the Megarangers gain the Mega Voyager, the Galaxy Mega is shelved and only appears periodically. Thanks to In Space shuffling the episodes around, the Astro Megazord is used even after the Rangers gain the Mega Voyager.
  • The Bus Came Back: The Astro Megazord returned in the Lost Galaxy crossover and in the Cosmic Fury finale.
  • Combining Mecha: Both the Astro Megaship and the Astro Megashuttle combine to form the Astro Megazord. Though in this case, the Megaship forms the majority of the Megazord, leaving the Megashuttle to form the head.
  • Cool Sword: The Astro Megazord's main weapon is the Astro Megazord Saber, which is digitized into existence when needed.
  • Death by Adaptation: The Astro Megaship was destroyed during Lost Galaxy's finale while the Mega Ship survived both Megaranger and Gingaman.
  • Demoted to Extra: While the Astro Megaship appears in Lost Galaxy, it is not used by the Lost Galaxy Rangers that much and they did not form the Astro Megazord. The Megazord configuration was only used once in The Power of Pink to join the Galaxy Megazord in the fight against Psycho Pink.
  • Energy Weapon: The Astro Megazord Saber can be energized and used as a laser whip.
  • Finishing Move:
    • Finisher 1: After energizing the Astro Megazord Saber, the Megazord slashes at the monster to destroy it. (There were several different slash techniques used on different occasions; unlike in Megaranger, however, none of them were ever named.)
    • Finisher 2: The Astro Megazord fires a full-powered blast from its blaster to destroy a monster.
  • Hand Cannon: The Astro Megazord's secondary weapon is the very large Astro Megazord Blaster, which is the transformed state of the Megashuttle's booster sled.
  • Home Base: The Astro Megaship serves as the Space Ranger's base of operations complete with living quarters, a medical bay, and a SimuDeck.
  • Killed Off for Real: The Astro Megaship blows up in the Lost Galaxy finale in an attempt to neutralize the Scorpion Stinger.
  • Legacy Character: In Wild Force's Forever Red special, the Red Rangers fly in the Astro Megaship Mark II, a brand new version of the orignal.
  • Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The Astro Megazord's other weapon is the Astro Megazord Shield, which it sometimes uses to protect itself when going back to the planet from burnout (averting Frictionless Reentry in the process).
  • Taking You with Me: During Lost Galaxy's finale, the Astro Megaship suffered massive damage from the Scorpion Stinger, forcing the Lost Galaxy Rangers to initiate the self-destruction sequence to take both ships down.
  • Wrecked Weapon: During the fight against Red Ecliptor, the Astro Megazord Saber is broken and it goes from bad to worse from there.

     Delta Megaship 

Delta Megaship/Delta Megazord

The Delta Megaship is the second Zord the Rangers acquired that transforms into the Delta Megazord. It was given to them by the Phantom Ranger.
  • Adaptational Early Appearance: The Delta Megazord appeared in Episode 11 while the Delta Mega appeared in Megaranger's 20th episode.
  • Arm Cannon: The Delta Megazord's arms are Gyro Blasters. When in the Astro Delta Megazord formation, the arms become a pair of Shoulder Cannons.
  • Assist Character: The Delta Megazord has no lone finishing move, nor does it have a functioning cockpit due to it being controlled through the Battlizer. It's main function is to assist the Rangers and form the Astro Delta Megazord.
  • Dub Name Change: Averted. The Delta Megaship/Megazord shares its name with its Megaranger counterpart, with the only change being the addition of ship and Zord to the name. It's played straight with the Astro Delta Megazord as its Sentai counterpart was named Super Galaxy Mega.
  • Finishing Move: It doesn't have one in regular Delta Megazord form. As the Astro Delta Megazord, however, it does:
    • Flying Power Punch: The Astro Delta Megazord fires its fists towards the monster, flying right through the monster and destroying it.
    • Another finisher used had the Astro Delta Megazord energizing its body before launching itself towards the enemy in a cyclone spin attack.
  • Killed Off for Real: Killed by a red powered Ecliptor in The Impenetrable Web.
  • Mecha Expansion Pack: One of the Delta Megazord's functions is to combine with the Astro Megazord to form the Astro Delta Megazord.
  • Rocket Punch: The Astro Delta Megazord's Flying Power Punch is launching its fists at the monster.
  • Transforming Mecha: Transforms from Delta Megaship to Delta Megazord.

     Mega Vehicles 

Mega Vehicles/Mega Voyager

A set of five Mega Vehicle Zords that combine to form the Mega Voyager. They were stationed on Ganymede as part of a backup plan Zordon had.
  • An Arm and a Leg: In the fight against Tankenstein, the Mega Voyager loses its left arm after the latter kept thrashing it.
  • BFG: The Mega V3 Missile. It is essentially the top half of the Mega V3 Zord used as a rocket launcher.
  • Chest Blaster: It can fire Mega Lasers from its chest.
  • Combining Mecha: A more traditional one compared to the Astro Megazord. Five Mega Vehicle Zords that combine to form the Mega Voyager.
  • Cool Spaceship: Aside from the Mega V1 Zord, the Mega Vehicles are based on spacecraft.
    • Mega V2 is based on a spaceship.
    • Mega V3 is based on a rocket ship.
    • Mega V4 is based on a UFO.
    • Mega V5 is based on a lunar rover.
  • Dub Name Change: Averted. The Mega Voyager shares its name with its Megaranger counterpart.
  • Finishing Move: With the Mega V3 Missile, the Mega Voyager fires directly at the monster to destroy it. When in the Winged Mega Voyager formation, it performs a flying variant of the attack.
  • Killed Off for Real: Destroyed during A Line in the Sand after it and Tankenstein exploded.
  • Leader Forms the Head: Subverted. The Mega V1 Zord forms the lower waist of the Mega Voyager, while the Mega V2 Zord forms the head.
  • Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: One of the Mega Voyager's weapons is a shield formed from the Mega V2 Zord.
  • Mini-Mecha: The Mega V1 Zord is a humanoid Zord based on a space explorer.
  • Shoulder Cannon: The Mega V1 Zord features twin rocket launchers on its shoulders.
  • Token Minority: The Mega V1 Zord is the only humanoid Zord of the Mega Vehicles.

     Mega Winger 

Mega Winger

Zhane's personal Zord. It was built by the KO-35 rebels as a gift for helping them. It wields the Wing Blaster, a wing-shaped blaster.
  • Assist Character: Like the Delta Megazord, the Mega Winger does not have a finishing move to destroy a monster. Rather, it is used to help the Mega Voyager out.
  • Barrier Warrior: Capable of creating an energy barrier for protection.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Its first appearance was helping the Rangers push a massive asteroid away from Earth when the three other Megazords were not enough.
  • Death by Adaptation: The Mega Winger's Megaranger counterpart survived its season while the Mega Winger in Power Rangers did not.
  • Dub Name Change: Averted. The Mega Winger shares its name with its Megaranger counterpart.
  • Killed Off for Real: The Mega Winger was destroyed by swarms of Velocifighters.
  • Mecha Expansion Pack: The Mega Winger can detach its wings so the Mega Voyager can wear it. This forms the Winged Mega Voyager.
  • Transforming Mecha: Like the Delta Megaship, the Mega Winger is capable transforming from spaceship to Warrior Mode.

The Astro Megaship's A.I.
  • Benevolent A.I.: She's helpful to the Rangers and saves the day occasionally. It's implied that she was Andros' only companion during his long solo mission with no one else.
  • Character Death: In Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, she's destroyed along with the Megaship.
  • Cyber Cyclops: DECA's cameras, which are stationed all over the Megaship, consist of a small egg-like sphere on a wire arm with a HAL-like red lens.
  • Dub Name Change: Known as "DENA" in the Japanese dub.

Professor Elliot Phenomenus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pris_al_phenomenus.jpg

Portrayed by: Jack Banning
Voiced by: Gabriel Chavez (Latin American Spanish), Katsuhiro Kitagawa (Japanese)
A scientist who specializes in alien searching, and Bulk and Skull's new boss.
  • All There in the Script: The scripts say that his first name is "Elliott".
  • Catchphrase: He sees what he thinks is evidence of aliens. Bulk or Skull point out that it's something mundane. He replies, "Perhaps to the untrained eye!"
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Sees aliens everywhere, despite a lack of evidence, and never manages to find them. Quite an accomplishment, given how hard it is to go for a walk in Angel Grove without tripping over alien activity. He manages to make Bulk and Skull look like the normal ones in comparison.
  • The Cuckoolander Was Right: He's consistently too late by about an episode or so in terms of locating alien activity, but it was there.
  • Demoted to Extra: Alongside Bulk and Skull. He appeared semi-frequently in early episodes during the season but largely vanished after Darkonda is introduced. The Psycho Rangers arc didn’t feature him at all.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: Until the final episode, he wasn't aware of who the Space Rangers were.

The mysterious Ranger from Turbo.

Note: This section only applies to tropes featured in In Space. For the rest, see the character sheet for Power Rangers Turbo.


  • Invisibility: He still has this ability.
  • Mysterious Protector: He continues to be this to the former Turbo Rangers as he lends them the Delta Megazord for future battles.
  • Ship Tease: With Cassie, continuing from Turbo: at the end of his last message to the Rangers.
    "I'll be alright, Cassie. Please - don't forget me."
  • The Unreveal: Perhaps the biggest unanswered question in the entire PR metaseries. Who is he? It's likely the suit is his real body.
  • The Worf Effect: Last season, the Phantom Ranger could take on a squad of Piranhatrons with ease. Here, he struggled against an entire army.

    Justin Stewart / Blue Turbo Ranger 

Justin Stewart / Blue Turbo Ranger

Note: This section only applies to tropes featured in In Space. For the rest, see the character sheet for Power Rangers Turbo.

  • Big Damn Heroes: He and Storm Blaster drive through the door of a warehouse to free the Rangers, who are seconds from eating the business end of Lionizer's cannon.
  • Know When to Fold Them: When Lionizer grows, Justin decides to sit out as he does not have a Zord to help his former teammates (as the Turbo Zords were destroyed in the previous season's finale).
  • Re-Power: Thanks to a spare morpher provided by Storm Blaster, Justin was able to morph for one more battle.

The United Alliance of Evil

Leadership

    Dark Specter 

Dark Specter

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dark_specter.jpg

Voiced by: T.J. Rotolo (First voice), Cristopher Cho (Second voice), Alfonso Mellado (Latin American Spanish), Yuji Kishi (Japanese)

The Grand Monarch of Evil and the leader of the United Alliance of Evil. He was responsible for capturing Zordon.


  • Adaptational Badass: He's based on (though uses a different costume than) King Javious from Megaranger, who in addition to not doing anything was overshadowed by his subordinates and predictably killed off by them at the first opportunity. Specter still doesn't do much, but he's got the firepower and stamina to back up his Galactic Conqueror cred.
  • Asshole Victim: He is the last of Darkonda's ambition-driven backstabs before being killed by him. But he is also responsible for the conflicts and evil of this season and the seasons before it, in addition to ruling the universe and using a planet-killer asteroid on the Earth, leaving little sympathy towards his death. He at least makes Darkonda into one as well by taking him down with him.
  • Colony Drop: One of the few times he acts directly? Throwing a planet killer asteroid at the Earth. He nearly wins. Orcus on His Throne he may be, but when he actually tries, he definitely makes one.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death Darkonda shoots him In the Back with one of the planet destroyer missiles, and we get almost a full minute of him writhing in agony as his explosions wrack is body before Darkonda finishes him off with the second missile (but crashes into Dark Spectre and dies as well.)
  • Dimension Lord: Of our dimension.
  • Disc-One Final Boss: He's built up as the Rangers' greatest threat, but is killed off in the penultimate episode before ever truly confronting them, leaving Astronema as the Final Boss.
  • The Dreaded: Merely invoking his name is a good way to get other villains, including Rita and Zedd, to shut up and do as they're told.
  • Evil Is Bigger: The largest villain in the whole Zordon era, if not the entire franchisenote .
  • Evil Overlord: And a big enough Overlord to subordinate the likes of Rita, Zedd, the Royal House of Gadgetry and Divatox before him.
  • Flat Character: Because he's the Greater-Scope Villain instead of the Big Bad he has less screen time and development than other villains. He's basically this uber-villain in the background.
  • Galactic Conqueror: As near as we can tell, between his own conquests and his semi-independent minions, he's conquered the universe aside from Earth, Triforia, Aquitar, and maybe Edenoi (and possibly Mirinoi).
  • Greater-Scope Villain: He's the true leader of every villain in this season and all the past ones, but the Rangers' primary antagonist is Astronema. Even when they do meet him, they never directly confront him.
  • Inexplicably Identical Individuals: He looks exactly like Maligore from Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, except bigger. While the real reason is so they wouldn't have to make a new costume for him, we never get an In-Universe explanation. Indeed, the only acknowledgement that they look the same at all is a throwaway line from Divatox about how he reminds her of her ex-fiance.
  • Large and in Charge: This guy makes the Dark Fortress look puny by comparison.
  • The Man Behind the Man: For Astronema, Rita, Zedd, Mondo, and Divatox. All of them were working for him.
  • Nonindicative Name: He doesn't look like a ghost at all, but a giant lava-demon thing.
  • Offstage Villainy: Has apparently conquered most of the universe offscreen.
  • Orcus on His Throne: Given that he's made using an expensive Power Rangers invented costume, he takes very little action against the Rangers himself. The few times he does, however, show he's not to be trifled with, such as chucking a planet-killer asteroid at Earth.
  • Remember the New Guy?: The supposed leader of all the villains seen in all the previous series, and before the finale of Turbo, he was NEVER mentioned.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To Evil King Javious in Megaranger, he basically plays the same role, despite looking nothing like him. However, he's also much stronger than him.
    • His costume was recycled from Maligore from Turbo, something that's even lampshaded by Divatox saying that he reminds her of him.
  • Taking You with Me: After being mortally wounded by Darkonda, he manages to survive just long enough to swallow Darkonda whole.
  • There Is No Kill Like Overkill:
    • The one time he tries to destroy the Rangers himself? He chucks a planet-killer asteroid at the Earth. The guy doesn't pull his punches when he decides he wants someone dead.
    • It takes two Planet Killer missiles, one hitting him directly in the head, to kill him. Even then, he manages to take down his killer with him.
  • Tron Lines: The red lines on his body appear to be these since when his energy is drained during the Psycho Ranger arc, they start turning dark blue.
  • The Unfought: Is never fought by the heroes, despite being the Big Bad. Instead, it's Darkonda that takes him out. With two planet buster missiles. Interestingly, early drafts of Forever Red subverted this, as he would've been resurrected and fought by the 10 Red Rangers instead, but this was scrapped.
  • World's Strongest Man: He is the most powerful villain in the universe, and one of the most powerful in the franchise, rivaled only by Lord Zedd after transforming into a Morphin Master.

  • Adaptational Heroism: His Megaranger counterpart, Yugande, didn't have much personality besides being evil and having a rivalry with the Red Ranger, whereas Ecliptor is a Noble Demon who would do anything for Astronema out of parental love, even letting her go and fight his evil allies.
  • Anti-Villain: As stated above.
  • Arch-Enemy: Of all of Astronema's forces, he and Andros share the most animostiy and the most one-on-one battle with each other. Ironically, he shares this role with their other archenemy Darkonda.
    • Also to Darkonda. Despite that they both work for the United Alliance of Evil, the two cannot stand one another, due their different methods of evil.
  • Ascended Extra: While Yugande was one of the main Nezirejia generals in Megaranger, he wasn't the second-in-command of the antagonists unlike Ecliptor, who as a result gets a larger role.
  • Battle Butler: Astronema's servant and enforcer.
  • Characterization Marches On: Acted much like your typical Power Rangers villain at first, with no depth and no clear role in the show. (He also had weird powers he didn't use much after the first few episodes thanks to the Megaranger footage.) He soon evolved into a Noble Demon with an important role in the backstory.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: He first appears in "Save Our Ship" and, while Andros is already familiar with him, he's generally portrayed as just a tough Monster of the Week to be taken down during the Megazord fight. As noted below, you couldn't even be sure he was even working for Astronema and wasn't just some random one-off enemy picking a fight. "Never Stop Searching" shows he is still alive, and it and his next few appearances begin fleshing him out as The Dragon (as well as occasionally dropping hints about his overall importance to the season's storyline).
  • Cool Sword: His main weapon.
  • Death Is Cheap: Several of his early fights tend to end with Ecliptor apparently being killed, and yet he always returns soon enough with no explanation (since in Megaranger Yugande was a robot and could just be rebuilt when destroyed).
  • Detachment Combat: An early fight had him detach his head off his body to blast Andros.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: Of the "dies later" variant. Yugande died after he entered his temporary red mode, being destroyed by Kenta, while Ecliptor survived the fight and died at the end of the season due to the Z-Wave.
  • Diabolus ex Nihilo: His first appearance doesn't establish him as having any allegiance to Astronema; he just randomly appears to attack Andros. Later episodes do expand on his character, though.
  • The Dragon: Astronema's top enforcer.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Loves Astronema as though she were his own daughter.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: An untrustworthy psychopath like Darkonda is not someone he wants anything to do with.
  • Evil Laugh: Constantly!
  • Evil Versus Evil: He and Darkonda eventually start trying to kill one another, up until Darkonda forcibly reprograms him.
  • Evil Virtues: Loyalty for Astronema.
  • Eye Beams: In varieties, too!
  • Final Boss: After Astronema is seemingly killed, Ecliptor steps up to fight Andros, making their battle the final one for not just in Space, but also the Zordon Era of franchise.
  • Fusion Dance: With Darkonda as Darkliptor in "T.J.'s Identity Crisis" and "Astronema Thinks Twice". It's entirely unwilling on his part, and he can override it with enough discipline.
  • Light Is Not Good: Most of his powers seem to be based around holo-projection (referred to as "cyber-shadows") and concentrated light blasts.
  • Noble Demon: He's an unapologetic member of an alliance of villains, but he has his morals and principles, most notably his loyalty to Astronema.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Comes to the rescue of Astronema when she is making a Heel–Face Turn. As a result, Dark Specter has Darkonda turn him into a cyborg to prevent any future disobedience. Though given Ecliptor sides with Astronema in her plans against Dark Specter, it didn't work any better than Astronema.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Whenever Andros is part of the equation.
  • Papa Wolf: Raised Astronema from age five and he seems to be the only one she always seems to care about (usually, at any rate).
  • Power Echoes
  • Tron Lines: His body is covered in them.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Astronema. Even when she decides to betray Dark Specter.
  • Unwilling Roboticisation: Darkonda has him rebuilt into a cyborg after he refuses to stop Karone from joining the Rangers.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Upon seeing Astronema's corpse in "Countdown To Destruction"

    Darkonda 

Darkonda

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flashes_of_darkonda___pris_classixx_special_finale.png

Voiced by: Steve Kramer, Luis Alfonso Padilla (Latin American Spanish), Shinpachi Tsuji (Japanese)

A ruthless and violent bounty hunter under the United Alliance of Evil's rule. He was also responsible for kidnapping Karone at a young age, turning her into Astronema.


  • Adaptational Jerkass: Guirail was just as vile as him, but whereas Guirail was loyal to Javious, Darkonda was out to overthrow Dark Specter and become ruler of the universe.
  • Arch-Enemy: To both Andros, and Ecliptor. The three have mutual animosity towards each other.
    • Ecliptor despises him for his treacherous and ruthless methods of evil, and how he tries to influence Astronema.
    • After Andros learns Darkonda was the one who kidnapped his sister when they were children, he repeatedly fights Darkonda to get answers about Karone.
  • Ascended Extra: His Sentai counterpart Guirail dies with the arrival of the Mega Voyager. Darkonda, however, lasts for the remainder of the series, thanks to him having nine lives like a cat.
  • Bounty Hunter: Before the series, it was his source of income.
  • The Brute: Easily the most violent and brutish of Dark Specter's minions.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: While almost all PR villains fall into this trope, he takes it a step further by taking great pride in being a villain.
    Andros: YOU KIDNAPPED MY SISTER!
    Darkonda: One of my finest accomplishments.
  • Cats Have Nine Lives: Darkonda has nine lives to his name, meaning that even if he dies, he will come back no worse than when he was destroyed. Over the course of the season, Darkonda died six times on screen with two unknown causes before finally dying for good in the finale.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: And loving it.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: Of the "dies later" variant. While his Megaranger counterpart died at the Mega Voyager's hands, he survived till the end thanks to his multiple lives. He dies in the finale due to Dark Specter eating him.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Destroys Dark Specter, the lord of all evil, who is also the size of a planet.
  • The Dragon: A secondary one to Dark Specter. He's the one Dark Specter gets to do his dirty work.
  • Eaten Alive: Unfortunately, the above led to this.
  • Fusion Dance: With Ecliptor as Darkliptor in "T.J.'s Identity Crisis" and "Astronema Thinks Twice".
  • Hate Sink: The first of the franchise to be irredeemably evil and depraved. Once he debuts, it’s clear by other villains' reactions that a more vile kind of villain has come to the series. His actions are some of the most horrific to date, especially in an era with your typical cartoon Bad Bosses who have at least some redeeming feature in their otherwise evil personalities.
  • The Heavy: Astronema may be the acting Big Bad, but Darkonda has the biggest hand in the story and the developments that ensue. He's the one who caused Astronema's Start of Darkness, Andros' trauma leading to him being distrustful of others and Ecliptor's brainwashing. Ecliptor's brainwashing led to Astronema's brainwashing, which led to Astronema becoming The Starscream, which led to the Psycho Rangers. And all of this because of Darkonda (and Dark Specter). He also replaces Astronema as the main antagonist after her short-lived Heel–Face Turn.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: At one point, he trusts Elgar with a vital task. Elgar gets confused about what the task is (keep a look-out for intruders) two seconds after they finish talking.
  • Inexplicably Awesome: For no explained reason he has multiple lives.
  • Kick the Dog: He brags about kidnapping Karone as his greatest accomplishment around Andros.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Fits this trope to a T.
  • Make My Monster Grow: In his debut, Darkonda used a special ray to grow his Barillian Bug monster.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: His Chronic Backstabbing Disorder is the only reason Evil does not rule the universe.
  • Out of Continues: Darkonda started with nine lives at the start but over the course of the season, he died to either the Rangers, Ecliptor, or himself by accident. By the finale, Darkonda only had one life left and decided to use it to go out in a blaze of glory.
  • Psycho for Hire: His occupation, his joy in the atrocities he commits, and his unpredictability makes him this.
  • Retractable Weapon: His main weapon is a Telescoping Sword that can grow at will.
  • Slasher Smile: His default (only) expression.
  • Spikes of Villainy: His head is covered in them.
  • The Sociopath: Caring only for himself? Check! Lack of Empathy and sheer enjoyment of all his crimes? Check! A Chronic Backstabbing Disorder and deceptive streak? Check! He seems to be the first one in the entire franchise and the only one in the Zordon Era.
  • The Starscream: Interestingly, he wasn't after the Big Bad of the season per se. Rather, he wanted to go all the way and destroy the Greater-Scope Villain. He succeeded, but failed to survive the attack.
  • Unexplained Recovery: He somehow has nine lives (like a cat), and thus whenever he's seemingly destroyed, he'll appear good as new. That said, he's down to only one life by the finale.
  • The Unfettered: He will use any underhanded or dirty trick to win.
  • Welcome Back, Traitor: After Astronema gets forcibly brainwashed back into evil, she kicks Darkonda out. He eventually returns, once again working with her with no explanation.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Not only does he kidnap Karone, but he also regrets not having killed Andros while he was at it.

    The Psycho Rangers 

The Psycho Rangers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_n7pum2m7vr1s5uxaeo10_1280.png
Voiced by: Patrick David (Psycho Red)/Michael Maize (Psycho Black)/Wally Wingert (Psycho Blue)/Kamera Walton (Psycho Yellow)/Vicki Davis (Psycho Pink)

"We're the Psycho Rangers" (Red). "We're faster than you" (Black). "Smarter than you (Blue). "Stronger than you" (Yellow). "But we're evil" (Pink)!
Five evil copies of the Power Rangers that were created by Astronema. Not only were they created to destroy their counterparts, but their main unknown goal was to drain Dark Specter's powers.
  • Adaptation Species Change: The comics reveal that they are Human Aliens, and the human disguises Red, Yellow and Black take in "Silence is Golden" are their actual forms under the suits.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Nezi Red was someone with a strong desire to keep himself and his comrades alive beyond the half-life they were given to destroy Megaranger above all else, which caused Hinelar to see him as a liability and erase his mind and those of his comrades, inadvertently ruining their Near-Villain Victory. Here, Psycho Red is single-mindedly devoted to destroying the Red Ranger, to the point of sabotaging his comrades purely because they were about to do it.
  • Ax-Crazy: All five of them, but Psycho Blue not only fights with an actual axe, he nearly kills T.J. in cold blood doing it.
  • Back from the Dead: They ran their souls through Astronema's people-into-data machine, reconstituting their bodies.
  • Badass Crew: They are much stronger than the Power Rangers, with even individual members posing a danger to the entire team. They would have succeeded in killing them if Astronema hadn't been holding them back or if they weren't prone to infighting. The rare moments where all five avoid fighting each other they are all but unstoppable.
  • Bookends: When they first appeared, Psycho Pink was the first of them to be destroyed. After they were restored, and then defeated for good, Psycho Pink was the last to be defeated.
  • Breakout Villain: They're among the franchise's most popular villains. Their well-received appearances allowed them to survive in Lost Galaxy and it became a near common trend for each to introduce evil copies to fight the Power Rangers.
  • The Brute: Psycho Blue. A Blood Knight obsessed with fighting.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: When they introduce themselves, Psycho Pink finishes off their onslaught of Pre-Asskicking One Liners by simply announcing the fact that the Psychos are evil. Adding more to this scene is the fact that, unlike the previous villains announcing themselves as evil, it's truly menacing here.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Psycho Yellow. Not only does she team up with Psycho Pink to drain the Rangers of their power first (and get all the credit from Astronema), she then callously abandons Pink when things go all pear-shaped, resulting in Pink's death.
  • Crippling Overspecialization: The Rangers realize that the Psychos only absorbed fighting styles from their counterparts, so an Opponent Switch gives them a huge advantage... at first. And when the Psychos nullified the Opponent Switch, the Rangers (minus Zhane) decided to wear the same color. (blue)
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: When they brag about how much better they are than the Rangers, it's true, especially in the early appearances. Psycho Red has it the worst, though.
  • Cute Monster Girl: When their un-morphed forms are shown in The Psycho Path, Pink's is that of a cute purple-skinned alien.
  • Diabolus ex Nihilo: Unlike their Megaranger counterparts, there's no explanation of where they came from. Psycho Yellow's monster form appearing earlier at a Bad Guy Bar implies they might be aliens empowered by Astronema, but this is never confirmed.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: Another "dies later" variant. Their Megaranger counterparts were permanently destroyed after being trapped in data cards which were destroyed along with Hinelar City. The Psychos' cards on the other hand survived the Hidden City's destruction and made one final return during the team up between the Lost Galaxy Rangers and the Space Rangers where they were permanently destroyed.
  • The Dragon: Psycho Black is the team's second-in-command.
  • Dwindling Party: Pink and Blue are killed off individually, leaving only the three remaining ones for the final confrontation. This significantly weakens them, as with only three left the Rangers can overpower them two on one.
  • Elemental Powers: In their monster forms, they each have elemental powers.
  • The Evil Genius: Psycho Yellow. She's sly, intelligent and the comics reveal that she's a Gadgeteer Genius.
  • Fatal Flaw: Their obsession with their respective Ranger, impatience, and inability to work together is ultimately what spells their end.
  • Ghostly Chill: When the ghost of Psycho Pink passes through her, Cassie suddenly feels very cold.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Astronema wanted to create monsters that would hunt down and destroy the Power Rangers. Unfortunately for her Evil Plan, nothing can stop them from trying to do it.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Psycho Pink, mostly because Psycho Yellow keeps trying to screw her over. The others also have elements of this when they think one of the other is trying to get all the credit.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Red, Yellow, and Black are finally killed when the Mega Voyager, Astro Delta Megazord, and Mega Winger absorb their Combined Energy Attack and send it right back at them along with their own Combined Energy Attack.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Zhane has been abducted, but the others can't save him without morphing and alerting the Psychos to their location. So, they plant a recording device in their vehicle and send it off on auto-pilot. When the Rangers break through the shield surrounding Zhane's location, the Psychos Flash Step in front of them, and Red says something to the effect of "Did you think that would fool us?" Of course, they really did fall for it.
  • I Lied: Psycho Yellow says this to Psycho Pink after she kidnaps Ashley, even though she promised her that it would be Cassie they would take.
  • The Leader: Psycho Red, fitting for Andross' Evil Counterpart.
  • Make My Monster Grow: In the Psycho Ranger Arc, the evil Rangers are shown to grow into their monster forms without the need of Astronema's Satellasers. Psycho Blue is the only exception as Astronema used it on him after being defeated by T.J. and Zhane.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Psycho Yellow. Of all the Psycho Rangers, she is the one who is most likely to hang back and let the others do the heavy lifting and then swoop in at the end to take the glory for herself.
  • Meaningful Rename: In The Psycho Path, Karone gives them the opportunity to pick names for themselves. Pink is the first to do so, picking the name Nokrea. Later it goes Virgil (Red), Ax (Blue), and Photon (Black). Yellow chooses to just continue going by that.
  • Mind Rape: The Psychos learn everything about the Rangers' fighting styles in this way.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain:
    • The Rangers had been trapped in data cards by Astronema's forces, only for the Psycho Rangers to release them so they could be the ones to destroy them. It is because of this that the Hidden City ends up being destroyed.
    • Beyond that, Psycho Red once delivered a Curb-Stomp Battle to the Rangers and might have beaten them, but then Psycho Black intervened accusing him of wanting all the credit for beating the Rangers to himself.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Not that any of them were actually harmless, per se, but Psycho Pink was killed off early in their debut story arc (mostly because Psycho Yellow stabbed her in the back). When the Psychos returned for the Galaxy Rangers team up, not only did she SURVIVE their team attack but was able to procure an energy-sucking sword that ended up killing the Pink Galaxy Ranger. Until the end of the season, at least.
  • One-Winged Angel: They don't have mecha, so they turn into giant monsters instead.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: So much that they lurked around as ghosts so that they could fight the Rangers again. Deconstructed, as this attribute is their Fatal Flaw and ultimately directly contributes to their downfall and demise.
  • Only Sane Man: Psycho Black, though "sane" is a relative term. He was the only one that expressed concern over the consequences of not doing as Astronema commanded, and the only one who seemed to realize their The Only One Allowed to Defeat You tendencies might screw them over in the end.
  • Shock and Awe: Green lightning. One might even call them Psycho Electros.
  • Spanner in the Works: They wind up derailing the entire Hidden City plan because of their single-minded hatred for the Power Rangers. Ecliptor's shocked when he sees they've returned.
  • Super-Speed: Bordering on Flash Step in close quarters.
  • Stupid Evil: Yellow and Pink actually have Ashley captured but, rather than capitalizing on this, they just bicker amongst themselves (as Pink was lied to that they'd kidnap Cassie instead) and that allows Ashley to escape.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Most of them have one except Black, but Psycho Red has the biggest one, due to his The Only One Allowed to Defeat You mentality.
  • We ARE Struggling Together: They all want to kill the Power Rangers, but are so obsessed that they are prone to fighting each other over which of them gets to do it.
  • Xanatos Gambit: Astronema linked the Psycho Rangers' energy into Dark Specter so that as long as they exist, they drain his energy. Whether the Rangers or Dark Specter died first, she won.

Mooks & Monsters

    Quantrons 

Quantrons

Astronema's robotic foot soldiers.
  • Canon Foreigner: They are original Power Ranger foot soldiers. The Megaranger foot soldiers' counterpart, the Craterites, only appear in one episode including their Fusion Dance form.
  • Double Weapon: They wield Q-Blades.
  • Space Fighter: They have their own space ships called the Velocifighters.

     The Monsters 

General


  • Adapted Out:
    • Rose Nezire, Mole Nezire, Porcupine Nezilar, Canary Nezilar, Crab Nezilar, Helmedor and Illusion Nezilar were never adapted from Megaranger.
    • Bibidebi is the only main antagonist from Megaranger not to be adapted or given a counterpart, like Shibolena with Astronema. That being said, he did appear in toy form with a Craterite figure under the name Hyprus.
  • Adaptation Species Change: Megaranger's Nezire Beasts were mutants created by combining animal DNA with evil energy. Astronema's monsters are simply alien soldiers.
  • Demoted to Extra: Pig Nezire (Chef Swinegang Pork) and Mushroom Nezire (Magic Mushroom) only appeared in crowd shots.

Manta Menace

A stingray monster that the Rangers used for the Simudeck.
  • Alliterative Name: Manta Menace.
  • Demoted to Extra: Out of all the monsters used from Megaranger, Manta Menace gets hit the hardest as he was only used for training purposes.
  • Training Dummy: What Manta Menace's main purpose is. He is a training monster the Rangers use to hone their skills.
  • The Voiceless: In the two episodes he was seen, he never spoke.

Electrotramp

Voiced by: Blake Torney

  • Bare-Fisted Monk: Aside from his electric powers, Electrotramp fights with his fists in lieu of having weapons.

  • Starter Villain: The first true monster the Rangers fought against as the previous two battles were against Astronema's ship and Ecliptor (Manta Menace does not count due to his role above).

Clawhammer

Voiced by: Kim Strauss
A giant shrimp monster.
  • Adaptation Explanation Extrication: His Megaranger counterpart was immune to Galaxy Mega's sword, which is why they just beat the hell out of him and threw him into a volcano.
  • The Bus Came Back: One of the monsters that returned in The Great Evilyzer.
  • Kill It with Fire: His final fate as the Rangers tossed him into a volcano.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: On the receiving end against the Rangers, possibly as payback for trying to eat them.
  • Power Pincers: Being a shrimp monster, he has these. With them, Clawhammer can create energy boomerangs.
  • To Serve Man: Was sent down to eat the Rangers who were chained up.

Voltage Hog

Voiced by: Kirk Thornton
A monster sent down to drain Angel Grove's power plants.
  • Bare-Fisted Monk: Voltage Hog can fight with his fists if he is not using his electric powers or his tentacles.
  • Bowdlerise: In Megaranger, the sword sticking in his shoulder was not obscured with a glow.
  • Combat Tentacles: Voltage Hog can shoot tentacles out of his shoulders to ensnare his opponent.
  • Shock and Awe: His main ability.
  • Teleportation: Voltage Hog can teleport in a haze of electricity.

Elephantitan

Voiced by: Michael Sorich
An elephant monster sent to knock off buildings in an attempt to knock over Professor Phenomenus's plutonium fuel that was in a lab.

Craterites

An army of robotic foot soldiers that the Rangers use for the Simudeck. A lightning storm hit the Astro Megaship, turning the holographic enemies into physical beings. There was also a Craterite Leader, and they could combine into a Craterite Conglomerate.
  • Attack Its Weak Point: The rangers were able to destroy the giant Craterite Conglomerate by shooting the Astro Megazord's blaster at the Craterite Leader at its chest.
  • Demoted to Extra: The Craterites were the main foot soldiers in Megaranger, but they were replaced by the sleeker Quartrons as Astromema's foot soldiers.
  • Devious Daggers: A regular Craterite wields dagger like blades.
  • Fusion Dance: A mass of Craterites could merge with the Craterite Leader to form the giant-sized Craterite Conglomerate.
  • Healing Factor: The Craterite Conglomerate is capable of regenerating a limb if it is damaged.
  • King Mook: The Craterite Leader serves as the leader of the Craterites. He is easily distinguished by his black boots and gloves.
  • Mooks: They are primarily used by the Rangers as training dummies to warm up their skills against Astronema.
  • Playing with Fire: The Craterite Leader can shoot fireballs from his hands.
  • Training Dummy: Like the Manta Menace, the Craterites are primarily used as training dummies for the Rangers to use.
  • The Unintelligible: They only speak in bizarre sounding gurgling noises.
  • A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: A group of them took on the appearance of citizens of Angel Grove.
  • Wolverine Claws: The Craterite Conglomerate has them for hands.

Waspicable

Voiced by: Ken Merckx
A kind-hearted wasp monster and brother to Sting King.
  • Canon Foreigner: An original Power Ranger monster with no connection to Megaranger.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He's naïve and kind-hearted but can stand up to his evil brother's attacks, after saving Cassie.
  • Eye Beams: Waspicable can fire lasers from his eyes after doing a quick peak-a-boo movement.
  • Ironic Name: Waspicable's name has despicable in it, so you would expect a monster like him to be on the same level of evil like the others. However, Waspicable is anything but despicable.
  • Laughably Evil: Due to not actually being evil, resulting in his attempts being laughable.
  • Portmanteau: His name is the combination of Wasp and Despicable.
  • Token Good Teammate: Out of all the monsters, he is the most kind-hearted monster of them all.

Sting King

Voiced by: Bob Papenbrook
A hornet monster and brother to Waspicable.

Crocovile

Voiced by: Tony Oliver
A crocodile monster.
  • Healing Factor: Even if Crocovile was to be injured, he can heal himself with a cloud of brown energy and clone himself in the process. The only way to truly put an end to the monster is to shred all traces of his body so there was nothing left to heal.
  • Identical Twin ID Tag: The two Crocoviles have different arms to differentiate from each other; one had a tail on his right arm, while the other had a crocodile head on his left hand.
  • Me's a Crowd: Can split himself into two copies.
  • Never Smile at a Crocodile: His main animal motif.
  • Portmanteau: Their name is a combination of Crocodile and Vile.

Destructipede

Voiced by: Mike Reynolds
An illusion casting centipede monster.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: A centipede monster.
  • Master of Illusion: Can create illusions of five monsters; two that the Rangers fought against before (Clawhammer and Sting King), and three that the Rangers did not (see below).
  • Portmanteau: His name is a combination of Destruction and Centipede.

Power Driller

Voiced by: Kirk Thornton
A rhinoceros-like drill monster summoned by Destructipede.
  • Demoted to Extra: Rhino Nezire had an entire episode to himself while Power Driller only appeared as part of Destructipede's power. This was because he was seen attacking Japanese citizens in the open, making all of his footage unusable.
  • Flat Character: Only appears as part of Destructipede's power.
  • Rhino Rampage: His main animal motif.
  • This Is a Drill: Sports one on his horn.

Fearog

Voiced by: Ezra Weisz
A toad monster summoned by Destructipede.
  • Amphibian Assault: An evil toad monster.
  • Demoted to Extra: Toad Nezire had an entire episode to himself while Fearog only appeared as part of Destructipede's power. This was because his Sentai counterpart was seen as an egg for most of the episode.
  • Flat Character: Only appears as part of Destructipede's power.

Behemoth

Voiced by: Richard Cansino
A moth monster summoned by Destructipede.
  • Blade Below the Shoulder: Wields a stinger on his left arm.
  • Demoted to Extra: Poison Moth Nezire had an entire episode to himself while Behemoth only appeared as part of Destructipede's power. This was because he was seen infecting people with poison in the sentai, making his footage unusable.

  • Moth Menace: His main animal motif.

Mamamite

Voiced by: Jackie Marchand
A termite monster sent to wake up her children on Earth.
  • Adaptational Early Appearance: In Megaranger, the Termite Nezire appeared sometime after the Silver Ranger appeared. Here, Mamamite appeared a couple episodes before Zhane appeared.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: A termite monster.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: In Megaranger, she was destroyed by a team attack that involved the Silver Ranger, and not the Yellow Ranger. Because Zhane wasn't planned on appearing until the second half of In Space, she was instead destroyed by the Spiral Saber Booster Mode and Quadroblaster combo.
  • Informed Ability: Mamamite was hyped by Ecliptor to be a strong monster that could take out the newly created Astro Delta Megazord. The Rangers defeated her before she could grow into a giant.
  • Playing with Fire: Mamamite could shoot fire to hurt her opponents.
  • This Is a Drill: Sports small variants on her hands.

Termitus

Voiced by: Dave Mallow
A termite monster, and the son of Mamamite.

Barillian Bug

Voiced by: Kim Strauss
A scorpion-themed monster that can turn their victims into Barillian Bugs themselves.
  • Adaptation Expansion: The small winged insect forms were never used in Megaranger. It is an American exclusive idea.
  • Scary Scorpions: Based on one.
  • Shapeshifting: Some Barrillian Bugs can evolve from their small winged insect form to their humanoid monster form.
  • Viral Transformation: One sting from them can cause their victims to turn into Barillian Bugs themselves. This happened to Carlos and Cassie, but thankfully, Andros and T.J. found an antidote.

Mutantrus

Voiced by: Brett Walkow
A squid-themed monster that grew from Darkonda's mutated body.

Lionizer

Voiced by: Ken Merckx
A robotic lion monster sent to recapture the escaping Storm Blaster.

Body Switcher

Voiced by: Ken Merckx
A bat/grim reaper monster with the ability to change both himself and others into other people.

Kerovan-Ouster

A red-statue-like monster that fought Andros and Zhane in KO-35 two years before the beginning of the season.
  • Original Generation: As with Electrotramp from earlier, Kerovan-Ouster is an original Power Ranger monster with no connection to Megaranger.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He only appeared in a flashback, but he's the reason Zhane was in cryostasis for two years.

Lunatick

Voiced by: Bob Papenbrook
An antlion monster that hatched from some eggs the Rangers were studying on Kadix.
  • Adaptational Nationality: In Megaranger, he was under the Nezire Beast used by the main antagonists of that Sentai. In Power Rangers, he's a random monster that attacked the Rangers and was not under Astronema's leadership.
  • Dig Attack: Showed this ability during the Megazord fight. It would have sunk the Astro Megazord had Andros not called the Delta Megazord.
  • Make My Monster Grow: Lunatick grew by himself without the need of outside help.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: If he didn't attack the Astro Megaship, then Zhane wouldn't have awoken, and the Rangers would be without a Sixth Ranger.
  • The Unintelligible: Only speaks in an unidentifiable alien language.

Crocotoxes

Voiced by: Michael Sorich
A pair of eel monsters Darkonda sent to spread their toxins across the Earth.
  • Bash Brothers: Two monsters that were sent to spread their toxins on Earth as well as fight the Rangers.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: The two are colored differently with one colored red, and the other colored blue.
  • Non-Indicative Name: With a name like Crocotox, it would be easy to assume the characters are crocodiles like the Crocoviles. But their heads, spreading toxins, and eggs look more similar to eels.
  • Slippery as an Eel: Both Crocotoxes are eel monsters.

Praying Mantis

Voiced by: Dave Mallow
A robotic mantis monster sent to take advantage of Zhane's morphing time limit.
  • A Dog Named "Dog": A Praying Mantis monster named "Praying Mantis".
  • Dumbass Has a Point: While he wasn't dumb per se, he was right when complaining that Zhane was still powerful even with the morphing time limit. This convinced Astronema to give him a new way of taking out the Silver Ranger.
  • Near-Villain Victory: Had Zhane not figured out a way to recharge his Digimorpher, then Praying Mantis would have been the first monster to kill a Power Ranger.
  • Sinister Scythe: Like Body Switcher above, he wields one as his main weapon.
  • Slaying Mantis: Based on one.

Destructoid

Voiced by: Ezra Weisz
A wild monster.
  • Original Generation: As with Electrotramp and Kerovan-Ouster from earlier, Destructoid is an original Power Ranger monster with no connection to Megaranger.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: It's unknown what happened to him after Zhane rescued Astronema from him attacking her. However, there's a good chance either she, the Rangers, or Ecliptor destroyed him after said incident. Subverted, as he makes a cameo in Lost Galaxy's "Heir To The Throne" in the Onyx Tavern, though this may be a reused costume.
  • Wolverine Claws: Has big red claws.

Horror Bulls

Voiced by: Brad Orchard (both)
A set of bison monsters. The first one was sent to copy the Ranger's weapons and abilities, with the second one being implemented with countermeasures.
  • Adaptational Late Appearance: Their Super Sentai counterparts, the Buffalo Nezire, appeared in the episode which introduced Mega Silver, Zhane's counterpart, while the Silver Ranger has already been around for a few episodes in Power Rangers.
  • Adaptational Species Change: Were buffalos in Megaranger, yet bulls in In Space.
  • Brutish Bulls: Both of the Horror Bulls are based on the bison.
  • Make My Monster Grow: Grew without the assistance of the Satellasers.
  • No-Sell: The second Horror Bull just walked through the Rangers weapons thanks to the data collected from the first one.
  • Ramming Always Works: The second Horror Bull showcased this during the Megazord fight.
  • The Worf Effect: Justified in this case. The second Horror Bull was easily defeated by Zhane as his weapon was not scanned by the first one.

Coralizer

Portrayed and Voiced by: Tadahiro Nakamura
A coral monster Darkonda sent against the KO-35 rebels.

Lizwizard

Voiced by: Ezra Weisz
An electronic chameleon monster.
  • Adaptational Late Appearance: Lizwizard's Megaranger counterpart was one of the earlier monsters the Rangers faced off against. Here, he debuts well around the second half of the season.
  • Dirty Coward: Whenever he grabs someone with his tongue and somebody tries to attack him, he switches places with whoever he's holding. Once Adam was able to beat him down, he quickly high-tails it out of there.
  • Invisibility: In his first one on one fight with Carlos, Lizwizard had the ability to turn invisible.
  • Reptiles Are Abhorrent: An evil lizard monster.
  • Teleportation: He can swap places with somebody after grabbing them with his tongue so he can get their teammates to attack them by accident. However, it only worked once as Carlos, thanks to some training from Adam, managed to get the trick down the second time.

Batarax

Voiced by: Richard Cansino
A sonic bat monster.

Spikey

Voiced by: Bob Papenbrook
A spike-plant-like monster Astronema sent to prove her loyalty to Dark Specter.

Frightwing

Voiced by: Tony Oliver
A condor monster.
  • Brutal Bird of Prey: An evil condor monster.
  • Flight: Naturally given his bird-like theme. He gave the Mega Voyager trouble as the Rangers couldn't attack him while he was flying around, at least until Zhane arrived with the Mega Winger.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Once cornered by the Mega Winger, Frightwing tried to fly away from the battle. Unfortunately for him, the Rangers followed him in the Winged Mega Voyager and destroyed him.

Hoothead

Voiced by: Brad Orchard
A robotic owl monster.
  • Demoted to Extra: Hoothead had his own episode in Megaranger. Here, his entire fight footage was used as the cold opening for the episode that began the Psycho Ranger arc.
  • Flat Character: There's no explanation on where he came from, or why he was sent to Angel Grove. Made worse by the fact that he fought against the Rangers in the cold opening of the episode where the Psycho Ranger arc began.
  • Make My Monster Grow: Grew without neeeding the Satellasers.
  • Ominous Owl: An evil owl monster.
  • Shock and Awe: Has this ability.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Was destroyed before the Theme Tune even started!

Datascammer

A robotic data-gathering lizard monster.

Jakarak and Seymour

Voiced by: Lex Lang (Jakarak)
Voiced by: R. Martin Klein (Seymour)
A pair of angler fish monsters. Seymour was originally Jakarak's servant, but stowed away on the Astro Megaship, causing Jakarak to go after him.

Vacsacker

Voiced by: Richard Epcar
A robotic monster that was used to abduct people for Astronema's Secret City.
  • Arm Cannon: On his right arm.
  • Innocuously Important Episode: His appearance marked the first time a Red Ranger's Battlizer was introduced.
  • Teleportation: He has this ability, but instead of teleporting himself, he uses his cannon to transport people to the Secret City.

Tankenstein

A shape-shifting mechanical monster. He's a black Humvee on the ground, but when shot by the Satellasers, he took on a robotic form.
  • Adaptation Expansion: Tankenstein did not have a Humvee form in Megaranger as he was the transformed state of the Dark Fortress in the Sentai. Because the Dark Fortress is not connected to Tankestein, the Humvee form was created.
  • Adaptational Intelligence: In Megarangers, he was merely a mecha piloted by the Big Bad. Here, he's a sentient machine.
  • Combat Tentacles: Tankenstein is capable of shooting cables from his shoulders and shocking his opponents.
  • Cool Sword: Wielded one in his battle against the Mega Voyager.
  • Decomposite Character: His giant form was the robot form of the Dark Fortress' Megaranger counterpart.
  • Healing Factor: Should one of his limbs get destroyed, he can always grow a new one.
  • Humongous Mecha: After being enlarged, he took the form of a gigantic robot strong enough to tear the Mega Voyager apart like it was made of tinfoil.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: He was able to laugh off nearly everything the Rangers threw at him in both of his forms.
  • Portmanteau: His name is the combination of Tank and Frankenstein.
  • Ramming Always Works: His main method of attacking when in his Humvee form.
  • Sentient Vehicle: Before being enlarged, he took the form of a nearly indestructible Humvee.
  • Taking You with Me: In a last-ditch effort, the Mega Voyager activated its' thrusters to make Tankenstein self-destruct. Luckily, the Rangers survive but the Mega Voyager was left damaged beyond repair.
  • The Voiceless: In his Humvee form, Tankenstein did not speak and only communicated through engine roars. Once he grew into his robotic form, he was able to speak properly.
