4The thirteenth instalment of the DarthWiki/PowerRangersRedverse written by Tropers/MadRedX12, using suit designs from Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman. When teenagers Toby Merville, Ken Moore and Allison Watkins break into a seemingly abandoned mansion to recover a baseball, they find an elevator which they descend down, discovering that the mansion was in fact built to hide the buried Magma Base. In the Magma Base, they come across the owners and residents of the base - Otto Sparks, a ten year old genius with a allergy to sunlight, and Digit, a RidiculouslyHumanRobot created by his late parents to care for him. Soon after, the alien New Lunar Organization, an evil empire that enslaves planets and has set its sights on Earth, which they intend to claim as their 1000th planet conquered. Fortunately, Otto and Digit have been tracking the New Lunar Organization for a while now, and have been developing morphers, weapons and Zords that wield ThePowerOfTheSun to fight them - with Otto and Digit already having the Red and Yellow Solar Ranger powers respectively, Toby, Ken and Allison are selected, by virtue of being the first people to enter the mansion, to be the Blue, Black and Pink Solar Rangers. After some difficulty adapting to this new responsibility, the three are able to master their new powers and battle the evil New Lunar Organization. With the aid of some surprising allies gathered along the way, the Solar Rangers battle to protect their home from the alien invaders.

7* '''Otto Sparks/[[red:Red Solar Ranger]]:''' TheHero, TheSmartGuy and TheEngineer, all rolled into one. A [[KidHero ten year old]] ChildProdigy with a severe allergy to [[WeakenedbytheLight sunlight]] who has [[TheShutIn spent his whole life underground]], continuing his late parents' scientific studies and building various devices. Due to his InferioritySuperiorityComplex, he tends to play the part of the resident InsufferableGenius, but has a SugarAndIcePersonality.

9* '''Ken Moore/Black Solar Ranger:''' TheLancer.

12
13!!Their Allies are:
14* '''Arthur G6''': The team's RobotBuddy, built to maintain the Magma Base when Digit and Otto are out.
15
16!!And they're up against:
17* '''Empress Meadow:''' The BigBad.
18
19!!Recurring Power Rangers Redverse Tropes:

23** SwissArmyWeapon: The V Power Blasters.
24*** BifurcatedWeapon: The V Power Blaster's V Power Grips can detach and attach with the Rangers's individual weapons.
25** CoolSword: Otto's Shuttle Sword, which can combine with the V Power Grip to form the Rocket Dagger.
26** KillerYoyo: Toby's Duo Arrays, which can combine with the V Power Grip to form the [[ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks Duo Shields]].
27** PowerFist: Ken's Power Cutter, which can combine with the V Power Grip to form the Cutter Jaw.
28** MusicalAssassin: Digit's Supersonic Flute, which can combine with the V Power Grip to form the Supersonic Whip.

31!!Tropes specific to Solar Strike:
32* AdaptationalVillainy: Meadow - in ''Fiveman'', [[spoiler: Meadow was DeadAllAlong and [[TheManBehindTheMan Vulgyre]] was using her as his figurehead]], whereas here Meadow is the legitimate BigBad.
33* BodyHorror: Otto's [[WeakenedByTheLight allergy to sunlight]] - according to him, just going out in sunlight for even a second without his Ranger suit on will make '''[[NightmareFuel his skin harden, bones melt and organs burst into flame]]'''. No wonder he's so scared of leaving the Magma Base! His blotchy grey skin is at least explainable, since he's never been in sunlight and is often so focused on his work that he ForgetsToEat.
34* {{Irony}}: Otto built the majority of the Rangers' tech on PowerOfTheSun, yet he himself can't go in sunlight without suffering a CruelAndUnusualDeath.
35* MundaneMadeAwesome: Toby's almost bliztball-esque way of playing dodgeball.
36--> '''Ken:''' They don't call him the King of Dodging for nothing.
37* RunningGag:
38** Otto's tendancy for flowery insults.
39--> '''Otto:''' "YOU GREAT BIG STUPID, MINDLESS, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment MORONIC, MENTALLY DEFECTIVE, IMBECILLIC, GNORMLESS, COMPLETE AND UTTER]] '''IDIOT!'''"
