List of minor Power Rangers characters
 |
This page is for minor and supplementary characters in the Power Rangers universe, appearing in the television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, its sequels and related media. Characters listed here are either incidental characters, or characters that aid the Power Rangers team but are not Rangers themselves.
Characters are listed alphabetically according to the series (or movie) in which they first appeared.
Ernie
Ernie, played by the late Richard Genelle, was a supporting character from the show's early days all the way through Power Rangers Zeo. He was the owner of the Angel Grove Youth Center, the most popular hang out spot for teens in the area. Ernie was around to lend a helping hand or advice to various characters and was often annoyed by Bulk and Skull's antics in the show's first season. He was also a fan of the Power Rangers.
Ernie opened an outdoor cafe and a haiwaiin themed beach cafe in season three and Power Rangers Zeo, respectively. They only appeared in these seasons.
Ernie departed the show to do volunteer work in South America between the Turbo movie and series, leaving the Youth Center to Jerome Stone.
Dulcea
Dulcea was a character from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. She is the master warrior of Phaedos and at first distrusted the Power Rangers. After they gain her trust (by telling her that Zordon is their leader and Zordon is a friend of hers), she gives them directions to the ancient ruins of the Ninjetti Temple, where they gain their new powers. By doing such, Dulcea takes the place of Ninjor, who gave the Rangers those powers in the series.
Dulcea was played by Gabrielle Fitzpatrick; Mariska Hargitay was originally chosen to play Dulcea, but left production during filming. Catherine Sutherland auditioned for the role, but was turned down.
According to an earlier version of the script, Dulcea was a member of the "Order of Meledon" alongside Zordon. She was also the only surviving descendant of the Nathadians, a race of people who brought the Great Power to Phaedos from another time and another dimension. She also had a green pet anteater-like creature named Snoggle who can speak in an alien language. At the end of her last scene in the movie, after giving the rangers their new ninja powers, Dulcea transforms into a barn owl, then flies away.
Dulcea cannot leave a specific area of Phaedos or she will begin to age rapidly.
Tom Oliver (clone)
Tom Oliver (portrayed by Jason David Frank) is an exact clone of Tommy Oliver that was created and put under a spell by the Wizard of Deception to serve as the Evil Green Ranger for Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa. He is referred to as "Tom" to differentiate himself from Tommy Oliver.
In a battle with some Putties, Tommy was knocked unconscious, and the Wizard cut a lock from his hair and turned him into an evil clone, endued with the Green Ranger powers. The clone tricked the other Rangers into meeting him in an isolated spot, where the Wizard sent them back to colonial Angel Grove. He then confronted Tommy, who was suffering a headache, caused by some of his powers being used to recreate the Green Ranger. The two Rangers fought each other to a draw until the Wizard intervened, zapping Tommy with his wand, causing him to demorph and lie in a coma. The Green Ranger then went to the Command Center to threaten Zordon, and then unleashed the Dragonzord on Angel Grove.
When Tommy was revived, he summoned his White Tigerzord to defend the city, but Dragonzord, energized by the Wizard's evil, soundly beat him. Tommy then stole the Wizard's wand, went back to rescue the other Rangers, and brought them back to summon the Thunder Megazord and deal with the Dragonzord. He then destroyed the Wizard, breaking the spell on the Green Ranger, whom he now called Tom.
Tom was sick with remorse, but Tommy convinced him that he could still do good. Tom broke the spell on Dragonzord and sent him back to the sea. The White and Green Rangers went back in time to colonial Angel Grove to destroy the Rat Monsters the Wizard had created to torture the other Rangers. Afterwards, Tom decided to stay in colonial Angel Grove so he could do some good things for the citizens. He kept the Dragon Power Coin with him to keep it out of evil hands in the modern day.
Wild West Rangers
Wild West Rangers appear in a two-part episode of the same name during the end of the second season. They are the Old West ancestors of Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Billy and temporarily obtain Ranger Powers when Kimberly is transported to their time. As Rangers, the Wild West Rangers have outfits identical to those of their descendants, save for the addition of cowboy bandanas around their necks, wild-west style fringe on their leggings and gloves, and six-shooter styled power blasters.
The known Wild West Rangers were as follows:
- Rocko DeSantos, Red Wild West Ranger (Steve Cardenas)
- Abraham Park, Black Wild West Ranger (Johnny Yong Bosch)
- Miss Alicia, Yellow Wild West Ranger (Karan Ashley)
- William, Blue Wild West Ranger (David Yost)
- Kimberly Hart (from the 20th Century) served as the team's Pink Ranger as well as their leader.
- White Stranger, (although did not receive any power coin) (Jason David Frank)
Kimberly had an Old West ancestor named Fuchsia O'Hara (also played by Amy Jo Johnson). However, she only appears at the end of the episode (after Kimberly goes back to the present time) and thus does not receive the Pink Power.
Ninjor
Ninjor appears in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series. He is the American counterpart of Ninjaman from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, of which Season 3 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers miniseries are based.
Ninjor is the creator of the original power coins and the rangers' new ninja powers and resides in The Temple of Power. He first appears in the Ninja Quest story arc, when the rangers' Thunderzords are destroyed by Rito Revolto. He provides the rangers with new ninja power coins that restored and amplified their original powers along with the powerful Ninjazords after determining that they are pure of heart. After the Temple of Power is attacked by the Vampirus monster, Ninjor joins the team as a recurring seventh member, arriving when called upon for help. He is captured, along with the Falconzord, by Rita and Zedd in Changing of the Zords, which depowers the other Ninjazords for a time. Ninjor eventually escapes (because Rito dropped the jar containing him) and rejoins the Rangers in battle when Master Vile arrives to attack Earth. Master Vile recaptured him with Globber, who used his powers to battle the Rangers. When Globber was weakened by sunlight during a later battle, Ninjor was able to break free and help the Rangers destroy him.
Ninjor disappears after Master Vile reverses time and turns the rangers into children. He does not appear again and is never given a proper write-out. In "A Zeo Beginning, Part 2," Tommy simply states Ninjor is back in the temple. The Alien Rangers claim that Ninjor created their Battle Borgs. Ninjor had the power to grow to giant size and battle alongside the Megazords.
Alpha 4
Alpha 4 was a fictional robot in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series. He was the predecessor to Alpha 5 and has the exact same voice (performed by Richard Horvitz) and body design with the exception that the yellow lights on his chestplate on either side of the lightning bolt was slightly farther apart. He only made two appearances. In Wild West Rangers-Part II, he was in the Command Center in 1880 when Kimberly Hart, who was transported to that year via a time hole, teleported to the Command Center. Alpha was alarmed until Kimberly said she was a Power Ranger from the future and needed help from Zordon. When Alpha Five was built, it was presumed Alpha Four was retired and unused. In Hogday Afternoon-Part I, Alpha Four's torso and head can be seen deactivated in a box labeled "Command Center" as Rito Revolto and Goldar wander around the basement. When time was restored, a black box with "Alpha Four" in red letters can be seen in the basement of the Command Center.
Auric the Conqueror
Auric the Conqueror (voiced by Derek Stephen Prince) is an ancient tiki that had been dormant on the tropical Mysterio Island for countless years. He was discovered by Tanya Sloan's parents after an expedition which lasted many years. "The lost tiki of Auric", as he was called in Africa, was up until that time a myth only.
Auric lives to protect the weak and to fight evil though he always prefers to try and talk through a situation before he uses violence (though this almost never works). He does not like to be deceived, and goes into a fly of rage when he does. He's extremely powerful, once defeating a monster the Super Zeo Megazord couldn't stop, with one swing from his sword, but isn't very smart and is very gullible. Unfortunately Auric can be cowardly and if frightened he will retreat into his Tiki form like a turtle retreats into its shell. Auric can blow tremendous gusts of wind from his mouth and can heal at a very fast rate.
Auric has known of Zordon for some time and believes all who fight for good know of Zordon. This is a recurring theme throughout the first few Power Rangers series.
Auric is usually found as a small statuette of a head with a key hole on its face. With the golden key of Auric, the bearer can unlock Auric causing him to expand to his full size of over 40 stories tall or to a more humanoid size of roughly 8 feet tall. Auric has a slashing long broad sword which he uses in battle and also as a finishing attack against villains.
Tanya chose Jason Lee Scott, the current Gold Ranger, to be the keeper of Auric. Auric only made two appearances before a cameo in Rangers of Two Worlds, where he disappeared after being banished by a monster controlling the Zeo Megazord. He did not appear nor was he mentioned again following this.
Cestria
Cestria is an Aquitian that appeared as the final love interest for Billy Cranston. She was first encountered when Billy began to suffer from accelerated aging, during which time Billy travelled to Aquitar to receive treatment. When he was cured, he chose to remain on Aquitar with Cestria rather than return to Earth.
Blue Senturion
The Blue Senturion (voiced by David Walsh) robots are the most reliable form of robotic law enforcement in eight galaxies. One came to Earth from the future to deliver the "Millennium Message" to the Power Rangers. However, Divatox gets to him first, and obtains the message, which foretells the coming of the United Alliance of Evil from Power Rangers in Space. She then wipes his memory, so the Rangers cannot learn of the message. Afterwords, the Blue Senturion stays on Earth to aid the Rangers, almost like a sixth Ranger.
The Blue Senturion has his own Zord, the Robo Racer. The Senturion has been turned evil on two occasions; once by a wish made by Divatox with a magic coin and once by wearing a bewitched jacket Divatox had been circulating. His weapons include the Senturion Synergizer, which has a sword and blaster mode, and he also has the Senturion Cycle.
At the end of the Turbo season, the Blue Senturion departs Earth to aid Zordon on Eltar. He later appears in the Countdown to Destruction duology, where he and the Phantom Ranger defend the Phantom Ranger's homeworld.
In Power Rangers: S.P.D., Jack Landors and Sky Tate are playing a fighting game, Jack is the Blue Senturion and Sky is Cyclopter, a monster from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.
Dimitria
Dimitria serves as mentor to the Rangers after Zordon departs for Eltar. She also brings Alpha 6 with her, and comes from the planet Inquiris. Dimitria wore a white robe and also half of a white face shroud. Initially, Dimitria spoke in questions constantly, until the episode Passing the Torch, after which she spoke normally.
She later departs Earth with the Blue Senturion to help Zordon on Eltar, but is never seen or referred to again, leaving what eventually became of her in question.
Dimitria is likely the twin sister of Divatox. This is never confirmed, but was made almost certain when Zordon's energy wave from Countdown to Destruction caused Divatox to shed her evil powers, and became identical to Dimitria, minus the face shroud (it had been revealed that Dimitria had a twin sister, but that she had disappeared).
The role of Dimitria was played by Carol Hoyt, the same actress who played Divatox in the first half of the Power Rangers: Turbo season (Divatox was played by Hoyt in the first half of the season due to original actress Hilary Shepard Turner's becoming pregnant).
Alpha 6
Alpha 6 was a fictional robot in the Power Rangers series such as Power Rangers: Turbo and Power Rangers: In Space.
In the fictional Power Rangers universe, Alpha 6 is the next Alpha robot in the series of fully-sentient multifunctional automatons and the robot with an attitude--literally. She is put into operation along with the woman who never stops the questions, Dimitria, after Zordon and Alpha 5 go to the planet Eltar. Alpha 6 is first seen in the Power Rangers: Turbo episode "Shift into Turbo, Part III".
She talks a lot like the stereotypical New Yorker, says "yo-yo-yo" and almost gets on everyone's nerves. However, Alpha is knowledgeable and able to help the Rangers through various problems and adventures. She even helps to save the Phantom Ranger's life.
During the explosion of the Power Chamber, her voice chip is damaged, making her speak gibberish and have reversed words. After following the Rangers into space and meeting up with the Astro Megaship, Alpha 6 gets a new voice circuit board from Andros, the alien from KO-35 and the Red Space Ranger. The new voice makes her sound a lot like Alpha 5 (even restoring the familiar expression of 'Ai-yi-yi'), only it sounds more female than male, of course. During the installation of the new voice circuitry, Alpha is asked to describe her mission in life as a test. Alpha recites her mission as follows: "My mission is to protect the Power Rangers. And their quest: To protect the universe from the forces of evil. One goal, one team, known as the Power Rangers." It is revealed by DECA that Alpha 6 has 3,004,700,903 individual circuit terminals inside him. This is revealed while Carlos is trying to fix her voice.
Alpha is instrumental in decrypting the Power Decoder which allows the Space Shuttle to combine with the Megaship to form the Astro Megazord. She also eventually locates the Mega Vehicles on Ganymede and at one time pilots the Astro Megazord with the help of the ship's sentinent computer, DECA. She also prevents Ecliptor from taking over the Astro Megaship.
After the adventures of Power Rangers in Space, Alpha 6 stays on the Megaship, which becomes a museum. Both Alpha and the Megaship become recommissioned by the soon-to-be Lost Galaxy Rangers when Scorpius begins attacking Mirinoi.
At the end of Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy, Alpha 6 ends up leaving the Astro Megaship after it starts its self-destruct mechanism. She then proceeds to live in peace on Mirinoi with the Lost Galaxy Rangers and the crew of Terra Venture.
In the Operation Overdrive episode "Once a Ranger," Alpha 6 is uncovered in a warehouse in Angel Grove. She is reconnected by Andrew Hartford on Adam Park's suggestion to help restore the Operation Overdrive Power Rangers' link back to the Morphing Grid. This incarnation is as tall as the other Power Rangers and has a new voice. After Thrax is defeated, Adam Park recruits her as an employee at his new dojo. How Alpha 6, who was last seen on Mirinoi with the Galaxy Rangers, wound up dismantled in Angel Grove is not explained.
Adelle Ferguson
Adelle Ferguson (Aloma Wright) serves as the replacement figure for the characters Ernie and Jerome Stone from previous seasons, serving as the proprietor of the restaurant that the Rangers choose as their after school hangout, the Surf Spot.
Commander Stanton
Commander Stanton (Tom Whyte) is the commander of Terra Venture, a space station set out from Earth to found a new colony for human habitation. While he is obviously bound by duty (he decides not to halt the voyage to return a young stowaway in the episode Homesick), he still finds time for his only family, his daughter (who first appears in The Blue Crush), and eventually learns to make the ultimate sacrifice as he ditches an ailing Terra Venture to save its people (in the season finale Journey's End).
Trivia note: the first episode and the season finale share a similar scene, of Commander Stanton looking over Mike Corbett's shoulder as he in turn looks out a porthole - looking down at Earth in the first episode, and their final destination in the season finale.
Captain Mitchell
Captain William "Bill" Mitchell (Ron Roggé) is the captain of the Lightspeed Aquabase, and father of Dana and Ryan Mitchell. Capt. Mitchell was responsible for gathering the Rangers, chosen for their special abilities. Ryan had recently reappeared, and Mitchell successfully convinced him to leave Diabolico's side and join him as the Titanium Ranger. He had also saved Carter from a fire.
Angela Fairweather
Ms. Angela Fairweather (Monica Louwerens) is a Ranger scientist at Lightspeed. Before Kat Manx, Ms. Fairweather developed Zords, weaponry, and vehicles for the Rangers. She is the sister of Clark Fairweather, who is also a Ranger expert.
Throughout the series, Joel Rawlings often flirts with Mrs. Fairweather, though she initially wasn't interested in him (once even lying to him saying there was a protocol and at Lightspeed saying that Lightspeed members couldn't interact with each other). In the final episode, she finally consents to go on a date with him. Half a season later, in the "Time for Lightspeed" team-up, the two are seen heading off to their honeymoon.
Ms. Fairweather is often seen and recognized for wearing black sheer pantyhose.
Marina
Marina is a lovely mermaid who was romantically interested in Chad Lee. She was used by Vypra in a botched plan against Chad, and later asked for Chad's help in recovering her father's trident.
She is played by actress Kamera Walton, who also played the human form/voice of Psycho Yellow in Power Rangers in Space.
Princess Shayla
Princess Shayla is the Princess of the Animarium, a floating landmass that is the last remnant of the lost world of Animaria. After the defeats of Animus and Master Org, she fell asleep for centuries. However, she was reawakened along with the Org spirits by the pollution caused by humans. Shayla serves as the adviser to the Rangers, as well as filling the role of damsel in distress. However, she can and will defend herself if absolutely necessary. This is proven in the episode The Master's Herald. She has a romantic relationship with her former protector, Merrick Baliton, but he refuses to let his feelings get in the way of his duty. After Master Org was destroyed, Shayla took back the Wild Force Powers and went back into the sky, until the WildZords are needed to protect the earth once more.
Played by actress Ann Marie Crouch.
Alpha 7
Alpha 7 was the fourth Alpha robot in Power Rangers. He is featured in Forever Red, where he is seen helping Tommy Oliver and Andros on the Astro Megaship Mark II. He has Alpha 5's voice and demeanor, but his appearance is made up of pieces of both Alpha 6, and Alpha 5.
Alpha 7 was voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz, who also voiced Alpha 4 and Alpha 5.
Sensei Kanoi Watanabe
Sensei Kanoi Watanabe (Grant McFarland) is the mentor of the Wind Rangers and father to Cameron Watanabe. Kanoi was originally an air ninja, and is also the brother of Lothor. When Lothor attacked the Wind Academy, he used his magic to turn Kanoi into a guinea pig, albeit with the ability to speak and bipedal movement. (This is a parody of Master Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
Kanoi sensed potential in the three students who became the Wind Rangers. He also sensed it in his son Cameron (Cam), but had promised his wife that he would not train Cam in the ways of the Ninja. So, instead, Cam learned to become a samurai, and met his father in the past before obtaining the Samurai Cyclone Morpher.
In a later episode, Cam created a machine that should have returned his father to a human, but instead he swapped bodies with both Shane and Dustin, before finally returning to his trapped hamster body. It reveals he's proficient in Earth Style, despite beginning his ninja training as an Air Style Ninja.
Kanoi was eventually restored to human form, and returned to the Wind Academy. He was later captured and impersonated by a vengeful Lothor, who tricked the Wind Rangers and turned them into his servants. Kanoi later escaped with the help of his nieces Marah and Kapri, and helped Cam and the Thunder Rangers recover their powers from the Abyss of Evil. He then worked together with Hayley to advise the Rangers in their team-up battle.
Kyle, Eric and Tally
A trio of teens resembling Shane, Dustin and Tori, respectively. They first appeared to backup Cam and Hunter while fighting a Kelzak army, and though their help came in handy, Cam warned them to not get in their way. They weren't seen again until the Wind Ninja Academy opened again, enrolling as ninja apprentices.
Eric was the twin brother of Conner McKnight, the Red Dino Ranger. Both were portrayed by James Napier. According to Conner in the episode Legacy of Power of Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Eric was kicked out of the Academy and didn't graduate.
Hayley Ziktor
Hayley Ziktor (Ismay Johnston) is a manager of Cyberspace Cafe, and a technical advisor to the Rangers. She has built a lot of equipment for the Rangers.
Cassidy Cornell
Cassidy Agnes Cornell (Katrina Devine) is the news reporter of Reefside. She is also assisted by Devin.
She seeks to reveal the identities of the Power Rangers, much like Bulk and Skull did in Season 2 of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, but, like Bulk and Skull, never gets success. She started her quest to reveal their identities after they first appeared in Reefside. She and Devin finally discovered the Rangers identities in the finale by taping a video tape of the Rangers morphing and fighting in their last battle. When she and Devin were done with the tape, she decided not to show the tape to the people because "she couldn't ruin their lives just to make hers better" and gave the tape to the Rangers instead.
Devin Del Valle
Devin Del Valle (Tom Hern) is Cassidys sidekick in discovering the Rangers identities. He is also Cassidys cameraman.
While he tied himself to the Tree of Life. Zeltrax returned after his absence. Zeltrax told him to tell the Power Rangers "Zeltrax has returned!". He told Cassidy, and unintentionally revealed it to the Rangers when they were listening in.
He is willing to do Cassidy's bidding. He has also wanted Cassidy to survive without him on one occasion. He also seeks to reveal the Rangers' identities, but with no success. In the finale, he finally discovered the Rangers' identities with Cassidy.
Principal Randall
Principal Randall (Miriama Smith) was the pretend civilian identity of Elsa, and is Principal of Reefside High School.
Elsa often uses this identity to cause problems for the Rangers, such as confiscating the Ruby Dragon card from Ethan to create a powerful monster.
Towards the end of the series, her identity was discovered by Tommy Oliver, and was also revealed to the entire school.
