Overdrive Rangers

    In General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oo_rangers.jpg
The Overdrive Rangers
  • 10-Minute Retirement: A rather infamous moment occurred when the Rangers, losing their connection to the Morphin Grid and having to be rescued by the Retro Rangers, quit and go back to their normal lives. However, it doesn't last for too long and they come back once they realize they still had to finish their mission and when their powers are restored.
  • Adventure Archaeologist: Since the Rangers this season are on the hunt for the Corona Aurora jewels, they travel across the globe to find treasure to help lead them in the right direction.
  • Contrasting Sequel Main Character:
    • The Mystic Force Rangers were chosen by a wizard to become Power Rangers and had magical-based powers. The Overdrive Rangers were hired by a billionaire to become Power Rangers and had technology-based powers.
    • Also, while the Mystic Force Rangers had the mission of stopping the Master, the Overdrive Rangers' mission was to collect the Corona Aurora jewels while stopping the villain factions from getting them.
  • Transformation Trinket:
    • The core five Rangers use Overdrive Trackers to morph. These are cell phone like Morphers that have a spinner the Rangers rub against to initiate the Morph. They can also be used to scan for artifacts and initiate Megazord configuratins.
    • The Mercury Ranger uses the Mercury Morpher to morph. It is a wrist mounted Morpher with similar functions to the Overdrive Tracker.

Mack was the son of Andrew Hartford and spent most of his time in the family mansion with Spencer, his butler, and best friend. While not initially a candidate for Operation Overdrive, he proved to his father that he was worthy of the Red Overdrive powers, and was allowed to join the team. He also gained the genetic ability of super strength.

In reality, he's an android created by Andrew as the latter always wanted a son, but never had the time to find the right woman.

  • Ineffectual Loner: Later subverted as he becomes an Effectual Loner.
  • Informed Flaw: Ronny explains when Will faked defecting that he has a habit of breaking the rules. The only episode where he had any conflict with the team is when his inability to cooperate caused him to try and handle a situation on his own. He wasn't so much breaking the rules as he was pushing everyone away to get the job done quicker.
  • I Work Alone: He's not much of a team player at the beginning, but after his refusal to cooperate with the rest of the team nearly costs them he starts to learn the importance of 'we' and not 'I'.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: His bike is partially pink.
  • The Mole: He faked defecting to Kamdor and Miratrix to steal a map to the second jewel from them.

    Dax Lo / Blue Overdrive Ranger 

Dax Lo / Blue Overdrive Ranger | (Actor: Gareth Yuen)

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

Dax started out as a stuntman but was not seen as a worthwhile member of his production company. Despite that, his skills made him worthy of Operation Overdrive, and he became the Blue Overdrive Ranger. He also gained the genetic ability of enhanced jumping.


  • Asian Airhead: Possibly the only male example in the entire franchise, he's rather ditzy and a Cloudcuckoolander.
  • Blow You Away: His Drive Vortex
  • Dating Catwoman: Subverted; he falls in love with a girl named Mira who seems okay at first, but it isn't until later that it is revealed she's actually the villainous Miratrix.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: Actors and film crew act like he doesn't exist.
  • Genius Ditz: He was able to outsmart Miratrix by switching the scrolls in "Heart of Blue" and was the only one to understand Bridge when explaining his origins (whilst everyone was left a bit confused).
  • In a Single Bound: His civilian power lets him jump a dozen or so meters into the air.
  • Nice Guy: He's probably the nicest guy in the team (if a little egotistical at times).
  • The Quiet One: Dax is a man of few words, but when he does speak, it's hard not to pay attention to him. Or at times, chuckle.

Veronica "Ronny" Robinson / Yellow Overdrive Ranger | (Actress: Caitlin Murphy)

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

  • Adaptational Badass: Although Natsuki is a Badass Adorable.
  • Competition Freak: Ronny is a race car driver, so she's naturally competitive and a bit of a showoff. On the other hand, she's still a better team player than Will, so she could be worse in working with the other rangers.
  • Super-Speed: Her civilian power, which fits her love of speed.
  • Speed Demon: Not only does she have Super-Speed but she is a professional race-car driver and loves going fast. She is the main pilot of the SHARC (Special Hydro Aero Recon Craft) and is the most excited when it comes to driving any new vehicle the Rangers are given. Ironically, Ronny's zord is a bulldozer, which isn't a very fast vehicle and the Black Ranger Will pilots a zord based on a car which is called "the Speed Driver".
  • Tomboy: In sharp, almost polar contrast to her Sentai counterpart, Natsuki.
  • Tomboyish Name: Short for "Veronica"
  • Wolverine Claws: Her Drive Claws are this and an Improbable Weapon, given that they're inspired by a bulldozer.
  • Wrench Wench: She's not afraid to get dirty and covered in oil when fixing the zords.

A Mercurian alien, Tyzonn was a rescue worker, but during one mission, he lost his team in a cave-in caused by the Fear Cats. He tracked them to Earth but was forcibly turned into a monster by Moltor in the latter's mission to gain the Corona Aurora jewels. After, he met the Rangers, and after being turned back to normal by the Sentinel Knight, he joined Operation Overdrive as the Mercury Ranger.


  • Adaptation Species Change: Half-demon in Boukenger, alien in Operation Overdrive.
  • Bling of War: His suit. It' so shiny you could probably use his helmet as a mirror.
  • Composite Character: His role in the team is obviously based on Bouken Silver, but his team-dying-in-a-cave backstory was actually taken from Bouken Red. And then his initial shtick of being a "liquid human" who was forcefully transformed into a reptilian being came from another separate character named Ragi.
  • Elemental Shapeshifter: He can turn different parts of his body into liquid mercury.
  • Human Aliens: Sure he looks human, but he's not from Earth.
  • Sixth Ranger: After some convincing by Ronny, he joins the team.
  • Survivor Guilt: He let his former crew get killed.
  • Swiss-Army Weapon: The Drive Detector can switch between blaster, staff, and metal detector.

  • Big Good: With the Sentinel Knight for the series.

  • Rebuilt Pedestal: Mack loses admiration for his father in "Things Not Said" when he turns out to be an android and his father lied about his past. Not helped is that in the next episode, when trying to mend his damaged relationship with his son results in his commenting Mack seemed "almost human" when he became a ranger. Making this worse, Mack started referring to his father as "Mr. Hartford" and started to think he'd replace or reprogram him. However, in the finale "Crown and Punishment, when Flurious threatens Mack in exchange for the Corona Aurora, Hartford surrenders it. Realizing his father really does care for him, Mack reaffirms his love for him and calls his "Dad" again.

The Hartford's butler and Mack's best friend. Spencer served as the team's moral guider.

  • The Jeeves: The Hartford's butler.
  • Master of Disguise: Even capable of disguising himself as Ronny to fool a perverted Loki.
  • Mentor Archetype: While Mr. Hartford is the one who united the group and gives them their mission, Spencer is the one who helps rangers deal with their issues and offers wisdom to snap them out of it.
  • Number Two: While Hartford might be the mission coordinator, Spencer was always there to help with the running of the base.
  • Servile Snarker
    Rose: You're the best, Spencer!
    Spencer: If only my paycheck reflected that.

    Sentinel Knight 

Sentinel Knight | (Voice actor: Nic Sampson)

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

An ancient knight who was the original keeper of the Corona Aurora jewels and the crown. After Flurious and Moltor awoke once more, his spirit gave Andrew Hartford the mission to find the jewels. Midway through the season, he fused with the Excelsior sword, not only reviving him but now allowing him to fight with the Rangers.

  • Bigfoot Sasquatchand Yeti: Looks like a large Yeti-like creature.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Last episode shows he's actually a capable fighter.
  • The Ditz: He's not very bright, and has trouble following Flurious's orders without messing something up the first time.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Thinks he and Flurious are friends.
  • Kindhearted Simpleton: This sums up Norg perfectly.
  • Minion with an F in Evil: He's so pitiful, even the Rangers don't consider him an evil threat at all and usually leave him alone as a result.
  • Nice Guy: Even though he works for Flurious, he's actually a kindhearted yeti who has no desire to hurt people and only works for Flurious because he is too naive to see his "friend" is actually a monster. In fact, he actually helps the rangers more than he does for Flurious.
  • The Woobie: The verbal abuse Flurious levels at him constantly, it's hard not to feel a little sorry for the guy.

    Retro Rangers 

Retro Rangers

Adam Park portrayed by: Johnny Yong Bosch
Tori Hanson portrayed by: Sally Martin
Kira Ford portrayed by: Emma Lahana
Bridge Carson portrayed by: Matt Austin
Xander Bly portrayed by: Richard Brancatisano

When Thrax destroyed the Overdrive Ranger's powers, the Sentinel Knight recruited five past Rangers to act as a temporary team.


  • Always Someone Better: At least how the Overdrive Rangers feel, as to them, the Retro Rangers were brought in as replacements. However, the old Rangers don't lord their experience over them and know that their Powers will return eventually.
  • Badass Normal: Adam as he is the only Ranger not to have civilian powers to fight evil with. Bridge zigzags this as while he had his aura reading powers, they're not useful in a fight.
  • The Bus Came Back: Naturally for returning Rangers, although Adam came back for the first time since In Space.
  • Re-Power: All of them were able to morph thanks to the Sentinel Knight.
  • Vocal Evolution: Adam's last appearance was back during Power Rangers in Space, over nine years ago. In those nine years, Johnny Yong Bosch started voice acting for dubbed anime, resulting in Adam sounding a lot more Hot-Blooded than previous appearances.

Villains

    In General 
  • Big Bad Ensemble: They're all after the Corona Aurora jewels, but each have their own agendas and are as likely to fight each other as they are the Rangers to gain the advantage.
  • Evil Versus Evil: In addition to fighting the Rangers, the villain factions tend to fight against each other in order to get a leg up in the Corona Aurora race. It's very rare for temporary alliances to last two episodes.
  • Foil: Each villain faction has differences from the other.
    • Flurious has an army of Chillers at his disposal, but no monsters.
    • Kamdor can create monsters and grow them but lacks the foot soldiers to help them out.
    • The Fear Cats have no monsters or foot soldiers, but they make up for it with their own skills and can pilot Zords of their own to fight against the Rangers.
    • Moltar is the more balanced as he has his own monsters, his own Zords, and his own foot soldiers. The only thing he doesn't do is grow the monsters.

Faction Leaders

    Flurious 

Flurious | (Actor: Gerald Urquhart)

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

An ice warrior and the brother to Moltor. Flurious re-awoke after Andrew Hartford claimed the crown, and began searching for the Corona Aurora jewels while fighting against the Rangers and his brother.

    Kamdor 

Kamdor | (Voice actor: Adam Gardiner)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hqdefault_659.jpg

A blue ninja-like cyborg warrior and a ruthless warlord. He was originally trapped in a blue gem necklace, but after being freed, he and Miratrix went searching for the Corona Aurora jewels.


  • Adaptational Nice Guy: As cruel as Kamdor is, at least he isn't a darkness-obsessed maniac who wants to corrupt Will. Yiaba also never had an Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas moment.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Will.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: He and Miratrix get the third jewel.
  • Dual Wielding: Wields two swords.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: When Will sees his face in "Two Fallen Foes".
    Will: That's a face only a mother would love.
    Kamdor: Leave my mother out of this!
  • Knight of Cerebus: He is darker and has fewer redeeming traits than the likes of Flurious and Moltor.
  • Make My Monster Grow: Unlike the other factions, he's able to make his monsters grow with his magic.
  • Ninja: He and Miratrix use ninja-like skills and magic in battle.
  • The Rival: To Will.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: He is initially sealed in a blue gem necklace until he is freed with a stolen device by his partner Miratrix.
  • Single-Stroke Battle: with Will who ends up killing Kamdor this way.
  • The Sociopath: Outside the above case of his mother, he is a dark and humorless megalomaniac defined by treachery and greed. He terrified even Flurious and not even his servant Miratrix is safe from his backstabbing.
  • You Have Failed Me: He exiles Miratrix for failing him too many times.

    Miratrix 

Miratrix | (Actress: Ria Vandervis)

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

Kamdor's loyal servant.


  • Adaptational Villainy: Compared to perky Punch-Clock Villain Shizuka, she's noticeably more evil. She's actually shared her role and personality with her.
  • Airplane Arms: When carrying her swords.
  • Ambiguously Human: It's never said if she's a human from another world or just an alien who looks human, both are probable in Power Rangers.
  • And I Must Scream: Her ultimate fate, imprisoned in the same jewel that Kamdor was originally in.
  • The Baroness: The Sexpot variety, for Dax and Will anyway.
  • Canon Immigrant: She was created exclusively for the series, yet has a similar role to her indirect counterpart in Boukenger.
  • Dark Action Girl: A female villain who is also a good fighter.
  • The Dragon: Kamdor's right-hand lady.
  • Expy:
    • Arguably one to Scorpina as both are powerful warriors who served under the villains and disguised as the girlfriends of the Rangers, tricked them immediately. They also transformed into monsters to fight the Rangers during the final battles.
    • Despite compared to her Boukenger counterpart, she also akin to Doldora, being a mistress of disguise who transformed into a monster in the finale and then, Miratrix is capable bitch than Doldora was, and she doing right to fight the Overdrive Rangers and gets more jewels to becoming powerful by herself, failed multiple times to trapped in the Jewel of Darkness by her master and making her to be disappointed.
  • I Never Said It Was Poison: Her plan in "Heart of Blue" was ruined because she unintentionally mentioned the jewels with Dax, but he never told her his mission.
  • Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal / The Starscream: After Kamdor berates her and calls her worthless, she decides to go this route. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long. See And I Must Scream.
  • The Mole: Faked a Meet Cute with Dax to infiltrate the mansion and get her hands on a scroll to lead to one of the jewels.
  • Ninja: Like her master Kamdor.
  • '20s Bob Haircut: Middle of the season, she replaces her old hairstyle with a bobcut, though her hair is still long because of a ponytail in the back. (It's said this change was because her actress didn't like the previous hairstyle)
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: It's never clear if the jewel Kamdor imprisoned her in was put away in his lair or was with him when he was destroyed, thus taking Miratrix with him. Either way, the Rangers are unlikely to find out for sure as long as she's no longer a threat.

A race of feline aliens. The main two were the snow leopard-themed Mig and the Bengal tiger-themed Benglo. They seek out to destroy the Earth on their own volition. After being defeated by the Rangers, they were upgraded into robotic bodies thanks to Flurious.
  • Always Chaotic Evil: Unlike the other factions, they have no interest in ruling the universe. They just want aimless destruction and to use the Corona Aurora to be unstoppable.
  • Arch-Enemy: They are personal enemies for Tyzonn, given their past encounter with him.
  • Ax-Crazy: All of them but special mention goes to Crazar who actually carries an axe.

  • Cats Are Mean: Big understatement.
  • Cyborg: Thanks to Flurious, they gain new robotic bodies that enhance their strength.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: Benglo's Boukenger counterpart was destroyed by the Dual crusher (the Drill Blaster), but in Power Rangers, he was destroyed by the Red Sentinel Ranger.

  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Tyzonn kills Mig by cutting him in half.
  • Humongous Mecha: They usually use giant robots in place of minions and giant monsters.
  • The Leader: Mig.
  • Make My Monster Grow: They can grow giant-sized by ripping open their bodies and unleashing their giant forms. After being converted into cyborgs, they lose this ability.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: The "Prison Mirror" contains an army of Fearcats, but was destroyed with only Benglo escaping.
  • The Rival(s): To Tyzonn
  • The Smurfette Principle: Crazar is the only female general of the Fearcats.
  • Villain Forgot to Level Grind: At first, only the Mercury Ranger could beat them in a fight. Until "Once A Ranger", the other five barely survive battling them. Fortunately, while the Fearcats spend more time building robots, the Rangers become more skilled and manage to do better in battle.

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

  • Avenging the Villain: He wants to avenge his parents' "succumb to goodness."
  • Crossover Villain-in-Chief: The primary enemy in "Once a Ranger" who leads the villains, making it the only time in the series that all of the factions work together.

  • The Man Behind the Man: For all of two episodes.
  • Two-Faced: His face is asymmetrical.
  • Younger Than They Look: Considering he must have been born after Zedd and Rita got together, but before they were turned good by the Z-Wave, he was most likely born during Turbo, meaning he has to be at most nine to ten years old. However, he looks to be an adult. However, if we figure that he was born and sealed away before the Sentinal Knight became a spirit, than he's older than he looks, much like his mom (as we only briefly see Zedd's human form towards the end of Countdown to Destruction).

The difference is that Kat was Brainwashed and Crazy at the time and had no problems getting turned into a monster, while Tyzonn was forced into becoming a monster as he was still good.
