History Characters / AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Depending on the country and the source material used, his name's listed as "Zachary," "Zachery," or "Zacharias."

* SpellMyNameWithAnS : She's sometimes listed in "Aliza," especially in European releases of the series.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: According to WordOfGod (in the form of the official site), Whiner is the actual spelling, but Weiner, Wheiner and Wyner have also been used by fans.

* WomenAreWiser: When [=McCross=] claimed Shane's horse was actually his, Annie's response: "Oh really? Ride him! Horses don't lie!"

TheLancer, a Creator/ClintEastwood look- and soundalike (in stark contrast to Zachary Foxx, described by the show's creators as "The Creator/JohnWayne Character"), and a CowboyCop in every sense of the term, Shane may be [[EnsembleDarkhorse the most popular Ranger]]. Shane is an ArtificialHuman who was "born" as one of the Franchise/XMen-like Supertroopers, an experimental, [[LegoGenetics genetically engineered]] army of {{SuperSoldier}}s. He is the youngest of the Supertroopers engineered and considered the runt. Unfortunately, {{Jerkass}} [[CorruptBureaucrat politician]] Senator Whiner exposed most of them to "X Factor", [[PsychoSerum a flawed DNA accelerator]] that killed several Supertroopers and caused all the survivors except (arguably) Darkstar to become evil; Goose was out of the barracks at the time, and thus, not exposed. Shane often acts as a BountyHunter to capture his former comrades. His implant allows him to adapt to any attack or hostile environment through defensive InvoluntaryShapeshifting, which can cause him to transform into strange (but always humanoid) creatures. Goose is also a ChickMagnet; several of the show's female characters are attracted to him, including his teammate Niko.

* {{Expy}}: The character is a sci-fi ShoutOut to Creator/ClintEastwood. In the DVDCommentary, Robert Mandell not only admits that the resemblance is intentional, but lists three of Eastwood's Westerns from TheSeventies and TheEighties (''Film/HighPlainsDrifter'', ''Film/TheOutlawJoseyWales'' and ''Film/PaleRider'') as among the show's primary influences. Mandell has also compared Goose to Film/DirtyHarry.

* DeadpanSnarker: Like many shows of TheEighties, [[WorldOfSnark most characters could get a zinger in]], but Doc was far and away the snarkiest. At least three-quarters of his dialogue is delivered in SarcasmMode.

* EvilLaugh: Often. Particularly memorable example: he does one ''directly into the camera'' at the end of his first episode. Also see ManOnFire below.

* ManOnFire: Scarecrow briefly becomes one in his debut episode. It barely even slows him down; he runs from the scene doing one of his trademark {{evil laugh}}s, then shows up (in disguise) as the episode ends.

* GoateeOfEvil[=/=]PointyEars: They add to his vaguely satyr-like appearance.

%% * DistressedDamsel: A high tech variation.

* PluckyComicRelief: He's the Ranger most prone to CasualDangerDialog.

* MeaningfulName: Named after a "mighty hunter before the Lord" from the book of [[Literature/TheBible Genesis]].

%% * {{Determined Widow}}er

%% * HotScientist

An obnoxious politician who's a thorn in the side of Commander Walsh and his Rangers, whom he regards as "reckless crazies". He's also responsible for the Supertroopers' collective HeelFaceTurn.

%%* [[BarefootCartoonAnimal Barefoot Cartoon Alien]][=/=]MagicalBarefooter: He's never seen wearing shoes.

* HappilyMarried: To Eliza, in the BackStory--which makes her FateWorseThanDeath even more of a TearJerker.

* {{BFG}}: Her WeaponOfChoice is a double-barreled shotgun.
