List of Power Rangers RPM characters facts for kids

Power Rangers RPM is an exciting season of Power Rangers from 2009. It tells the story of a future world where the brave Ranger Operators fight against the evil computer virus, Venjix. Venjix wants to destroy nature and make the world perfect for machines. The Rangers must protect the last human city, Corinth, from this big threat!

Meet the RPM Rangers

The RPM Power Rangers, also called Ranger Operators, are heroes who protect Corinth, the very last city where humans live safely. Each Ranger has a special "operation number" on their uniform. Some of the Rangers, like Scott, Flynn, and Summer, even appeared in a flashback in Power Rangers Beast Morphers.

Scott Truman: The Red Ranger

Scott Truman is the Red Ranger, also known as Ranger Operator Series Red. His number is one. His Zord is the Eagle Racer, which is a cool mix of a race car and an eagle. Scott is the confident leader of the RPM team. He loves fast cars and takes his job very seriously. He might not trust new people right away, but he always works hard to keep the team together.

Before becoming a Ranger, Scott was an Air Force pilot. He was often compared to his older brother, Marcus, who was a very talented pilot but sadly passed away in battle. Scott's father, Colonel Mason Truman, wanted Scott to stay safe, but Scott proved he could handle tough situations. Later, Dr. K chose him to be a Ranger, using special technology to keep Corinth safe from Venjix.

When Dillon and Ziggy joined the team, Scott wasn't sure about them at first. He thought Dillon wasn't trustworthy and Ziggy wasn't strong enough to be a Ranger. But as they proved themselves, Scott accepted them. He and Dillon often have friendly competitions, especially with their cars, because they both have strong personalities. Scott has also become good friends with Ziggy.

Scott even traveled to another dimension to help the Power Rangers Samurai! He helped them defeat Professor Cog and many Venjix robots. He even used the Samurai Rangers' Shark Attack Mode to power up his own sword. After the war, Scott's father, Colonel Truman, saw how great a leader Scott was and offered him a new job leading the Eagle Squad. Scott accepted and asked Gem and Gemma to join him.

Scott is played by Eka Darville.

Flynn McAllistair: The Blue Ranger

Flynn McAllistair is the Blue Ranger, or Ranger Operator Series Blue. He's the second-in-command, and his number is two. His Zord is the Lion Hauler, a powerful mix of a hauler truck and a lion. Flynn is from Scotland and has a relaxed personality. He's a skilled mechanic, just like his dad, and loves working on his own vehicle. He's also great at making smoothies!

Flynn always wanted to be a superhero and help people, just like in the comic books he read. He tried many jobs, but his passion for helping sometimes made him go overboard, like spraying too much water on a burning building. When Venjix attacked, Flynn bravely went back outside the city to save a bus full of people. This act of heroism made his father proud, and Flynn was chosen to be the Blue Ranger.

Flynn was a bit unsure about Dillon and Ziggy joining at first, especially Ziggy, but he quickly accepted them as part of the team. He also welcomed Gem and Gemma. Flynn is very serious about being a Power Ranger and always wants to be on the front lines fighting Venjix. After the war, Flynn and his father planned to build new computer systems for Corinth.

Flynn later joined his teammates to fight in the big final battle with the Warstar Armada alongside the Super Megaforce Rangers.

Flynn is played by Ari Boyland.

Summer Landsdown: The Yellow Ranger

Summer Landsdown is the Yellow Ranger, or Ranger Operator Series Yellow. Her number is three. Her Zord is the Bear Crawler, a strong combination of a bear and an ATV. Summer is a skilled fighter and knows martial arts. She is kind and trusts others easily, even when no one else does. She's also great at riding motorcycles.

Summer wasn't always kind. She used to be a rich and spoiled girl. When Venjix attacked, her friends and staff left her behind. Her butler, Andrews, helped her escape, and she learned to appreciate him. Sadly, Andrews was killed protecting her. Summer made it to Corinth alone and then bravely went back out to rescue Scott, who had been shot down. This was her first big act of kindness. She then became the Yellow Ranger.

Summer was the first to trust Dillon when he arrived in Corinth. Her words helped convince him to join the team and stay. She also supported him as he searched for his lost sister. Summer and Dillon started to realize they had feelings for each other.

After the war, Summer left Corinth with Dillon and his sister, Tenaya, to explore the world. They saw how the land was healing from Venjix's pollution, giving them hope for a fully restored Earth.

Summer also appeared in the final battle of Super Megaforce, helping the Megaforce Rangers fight the Warstar Armada.

Summer is played by Rose McIver.

Ziggy Grover: The Green Ranger

Ziggy Grover is the Green Ranger, or Ranger Operator Series Green. His number is four. His Zord is the Tail Spinner, a mix of an orca and a scooter. Ziggy is often clumsy, silly, and a bit of a scaredy-cat. But what he lacks in strength, he makes up for with a big heart. He's energetic, enthusiastic, and always optimistic, even when Dr. K teases him. He usually tries to avoid trouble but will always help his friends.

Before becoming a Ranger, Ziggy worked for a criminal group leader named Fresno Bob. Ziggy often messed up missions, but he did it to help an orphanage full of children. One day, Ziggy took a truck full of medical supplies that belonged to Fresno Bob and secretly gave them to the orphanage. He then fled Corinth with a friend and met Dillon.

Ziggy became the Green Ranger by accident! He bonded with the Green morpher to keep it out of the hands of Tenaya 7, a Venjix cyborg. Dr. K and the other Rangers were surprised because Ziggy didn't seem like a Ranger. But he has steadily improved, becoming a helpful, though still clumsy, ally. He even learned to control his teleportation powers, once saving Dillon by teleporting them both safely from the top of a skyscraper!

Dr. K found Ziggy annoying at first, but Ziggy was attracted to her. He even dreamed of going on a date with her! Dr. K secretly cares for Ziggy; she even used his name as her computer password. When they were trapped in a cave, Ziggy made her smile with a shadow puppet show. When Venjix took over the city, Ziggy stayed with Dr. K to protect her.

After the war, Ziggy and Dr. K opened a children's school. Dr. K taught science, and Ziggy taught shadow puppetry and cooking! Dr. K finally called him by his first name, showing how much she cared.

Ziggy later joined his teammates in the big final battle against the Warstar Armada in Super Megaforce.

Ziggy is played by Milo Cawthorne.

Dillon: The Black Ranger

Dillon is the Black Ranger, or Ranger Operator Series Black. His number is five. His Zord is the Wolf Cruiser, a combination of a police car and a wolf. Dillon is quiet and keeps to himself, a bit of a lone wolf. But he has a kind side and always helps others in danger. He has special Venjix technology in his body that gives him superhuman strength. He drives a cool black car called the 'Fury' that shoots fire!

When the series starts, Dillon is outside Corinth with no memory of his past. He meets Ziggy, and they travel to Corinth together. Dillon is arrested because of the Venjix technology in his body, but this also makes him a perfect candidate for the Black Ranger. He agrees to help protect Corinth.

Dillon's past is a mystery. He only has a musical pocket watch and strange dreams about a blind girl. He later found out the blind girl was his sister, who had been captured by Venjix. Dillon and Summer started to realize they had feelings for each other.

Eventually, Dillon discovered that his pocket watch, with two special keys, played the same tune that Tenaya 7 whistled. He realized Tenaya 7 was his lost sister! He became very protective of her. After the war, Dillon left Corinth with Summer and Tenaya to explore the world, which was now healing from Venjix's pollution. He left his pocket watch with Dr. K as a souvenir and thanked her for her help.

Dillon later joined other Rangers in Super Megaforce to fight the Warstar Armada.

Dillon is played by Daniel Ewing.

Gem and Gemma: The Gold and Silver Rangers

Gem and Gemma are twin brother and sister, the Gold and Silver Rangers. Gem is Ranger Operator Series Gold, and Gemma is Ranger Operator Series Silver. Their numbers are seven and eight. Gem drives the Falcon Zord (a falcon and helicopter mix), and Gemma drives the Tiger Jet (a tiger and fighter jet mix). They were raised to test the Ranger suits and became Dr. K's first friends.

The twins are cheerful and full of energy. They are also highly skilled fighters. They once saved Dr. K from a secret government group called Alphabet Soup. Everyone thought they had died in an explosion, but they later reappeared as the mysterious Gold and Silver Rangers, saving the core team! Dr. K was so happy to see them again.

Because they were fighting Venjix for so long, they have a "shoot first, ask questions later" strategy, which sometimes worries Colonel Truman. The other Rangers call them "The Boom Twins" because they love blowing things up! They rarely separate and often finish each other's sentences. They also have a childlike way of explaining plans, using rainbows and unicorns on maps.

Gem and Gemma are very smart, possibly as smart as Dr. K. They learned to work with the team and not just each other. After the war, they joined Scott's Eagle Squadron, excited to "blow things up, and get paid for it!"

Gemma also returned in Super Ninja Steel.

Gem is played by Mike Ginn, and Gemma is played by Li Ming Hu.

Allies Who Help the Rangers

Doctor K: The Genius Creator

Doctor K is the Rangers' brilliant mentor. She created all their amazing technology, including their suits and Zords. She's very sensitive about the Ranger suits and gets upset if anyone calls them "spandex"! Dr. K is a teenage genius and loves music, playing the violin and keyboard.

At first, the Rangers only heard her voice through a computer, but they later learned she was a teenage girl. She was forced to work for a secret government group called Alphabet Soup, where she accidentally created the Venjix Virus. Because of her past, she doesn't know her real name (K is her code name), rarely leaves her lab, and is a bit awkward with people. She used to only call the Rangers by their colors, but after Gem and Gemma arrived, she became more open and started using their names.

Dr. K eventually became closer to Ziggy, even making him smile for the first time in a long time. She secretly cares for him a lot, even using his name as her computer password! She's not a physical fighter, but she's very smart and can defend herself with her inventions. She also loves cute things, like her Zord designs and puppy slippers. After the war, she opened a children's school with Ziggy, finally calling him by his first name.

Doctor K also appeared in Power Rangers Beast Morphers, helping the Rangers there understand and fight Venjix.

Doctor K is played by Olivia Tennet.

Colonel Mason Truman: The City's Defender

Colonel Mason Truman is Scott's father and the leader of Corinth's defense forces. Their relationship was a bit difficult because he seemed to favor Scott's older brother, Marcus. But deep down, Colonel Truman is very proud of Scott.

His main plan to fight Venjix was to stay safe behind Corinth's dome shield. He didn't like plans that involved going outside the dome or lowering the shields. However, his attitude changed when he learned that Venjix had created human-robot hybrids inside Corinth. He realized they needed to be more active in the war. After the war, he continued to lead his troops and gave Scott the leadership role in the Eagle Squad.

Colonel Truman later appeared in Power Rangers Beast Morphers, helping to capture a villain named Scrozzle.

Colonel Truman is played by James Gaylyn.

Corporal Hicks and Vasquez: Truman's Team

Corporal Hicks is Colonel Truman's helper. He's a good soldier but can be a bit clumsy and likes to play with Dr. K's equipment. Vasquez is another officer who works with Colonel Truman. Both were later revealed to be human-robot hybrids infected with Venjix technology.

Corporal Hicks is played by Damien Avery. Vasquez is played by Mia Koning.

Benny: Ziggy's Friend

Benny is a friend of Ziggy's from his past. He helped Ziggy escape the city and later explained why Ziggy had disappeared.

Benny is played by Murray Keane.

The Bad Guys: Venjix and His Forces

Venjix: The Evil Computer Virus

Venjix is a very smart and aggressive computer virus. Dr. K accidentally created him when she was trying to escape a secret government group. Venjix quickly spread through all the world's computers, taking over everything. The only safe place left was the domed city of Corinth.

Venjix doesn't have a body at first; he's just software. He appears as a big spinning pillar with a red eye in his palace. But he eventually creates powerful robot bodies for himself to fight the Rangers directly. If a body is destroyed, Venjix can transfer his mind to another body or back to the pillar, so he's hard to get rid of!

Venjix eventually took over Corinth by activating his human-robot hybrids. He imprisoned Colonel Truman and the city's people. Venjix then went to the Rangers' base and met Dr. K, his creator. He even managed to mess with the Rangers' powers, making two Megazords disappear and even Gem and Gemma!

But Dr. K, with Tenaya's help, fought back by uploading a counter-virus into Venjix's system. This brought Gem and Gemma back and destroyed Venjix's robots. The Rangers then destroyed Venjix's ultimate body. This cleared the polluted air and made the rest of the world livable again!

It was later confirmed in Power Rangers Beast Morphers that Venjix survived inside Scott's morpher. A part of his code was accidentally released and combined with a special energy called Morph-X, creating a new villain named Evox. Evox later revealed he was Venjix reborn! The Beast Morphers Rangers finally destroyed Venjix/Evox for good by corrupting his code with human DNA.

Venjix is voiced by Andrew Laing.

Venjix's Generals

Venjix has powerful robot generals who help him with his plans:

General Shifter

General Shifter is a serious and aggressive robot general. He's a strong fighter, even though Venjix sometimes shot him down for failing! Shifter designed a new body for Venjix, but Tenaya messed it up. Venjix then banished Shifter, who went rogue and fought the Rangers on his own. Shifter was eventually destroyed by Scott, but his strong metal parts were used to build Venjix's ultimate body.

General Shifter is voiced by Mark Mitchinson.

General Crunch

General Crunch is another robot general, but he's less serious and a bit silly compared to Shifter. He often goofs off and suggests funny ideas. Even though he's not the smartest, he's still a strong fighter. Venjix also shot him down several times for his silly comments. Crunch was destroyed when the control tower he was in crashed.

General Crunch is voiced by Charlie McDermott.

Kilobyte

Kilobyte is Venjix's most feared general. He's a cold and tough warrior who uses a blaster and a sword. He was thought to be destroyed but returned to Venjix after a long journey. Kilobyte was very mean to Tenaya 7 and knew her true origins. He was responsible for reprogramming Tenaya into Tenaya 15 after she betrayed Venjix.

Kilobyte tried to destroy Corinth and later tried to activate sleeper hybrids. Venjix even ordered Tenaya 15 to destroy him because he was "glitched." Kilobyte tried to destroy Tenaya, but Dillon and the other Rangers stopped him, destroying him with the Road Blaster.

Kilobyte is voiced by Leighton Cardno.

Tenaya: The Human Cyborg

Tenaya 7 is a cyborg created by Venjix. She's known for whistling a tune before attacking. Venjix thought she was a machine, but Tenaya was actually Dillon's human sister! She was blind before Venjix transformed her, giving her robotic eyes and a detachable hand.

Tenaya was rebellious and often criticized Venjix, but he still trusted her. She used to dislike humans, but when she learned she was human, she became an ally to the Rangers! She helped them fight Venjix. Kilobyte later captured her and reprogrammed her into Tenaya 15, making her forget she was human.

Dillon, Dr. K, and Ziggy eventually saved Tenaya. Dr. K gave her an antidote that freed her from Venjix's control. Dillon saved her from a falling control tower, and they parachuted to safety.

After the war, Dr. K said Tenaya's robotic eyes might stop working, but Tenaya was okay with it. She went out into the world with Dillon and Summer, seeing how the Earth was healing.

Tenaya is played by Adelaide Kane.

Grinders: Venjix's Foot Soldiers

Grinders are robot foot soldiers built by Venjix. They support the Attack Bots and drive Venjix's vehicles. They are easy to destroy, even by an unarmed human, but Venjix has endless numbers of them!
