Main characters
[edit]Overdrive Rangers
[edit]The Operation Overdrive Power Rangers are a group of Rangers based in the fictional city of San Angeles who were genetically enhanced by billionaire Andrew Hartford and tasked with finding five jewels connected to a powerful artifact called the Corona Aurora. To assist them further, the Rangers possess Overdrive Tracker devices, which serve as communicators and morphers to transform into their Ranger forms.[3][4]
Mack Hartford
[edit]Mackenzie "Mack" Hartford is the outgoing, enthusiastic, and brave yet sheltered Red Overdrive Ranger, team leader, and an android created by Andrew Hartford who initially believes he is his son.[5] Due in part to his pre-programmed memories, he is a fan of adventure novels, among other escapist fantasies. Additionally, he takes criticism harshly, often blaming himself when something goes wrong.[6] Nonetheless, his bravery and tactical thinking often sees him through. Upon learning of the Overdrive Rangers, Mack joins them with encouragement from his confidante and butler, Spencer, and against Andrew's wishes in an effort to prove himself.[7][8] Over the course of the series, Mack grapples with his father's over-protectiveness, which the former originally sees as a lack of faith in him until he learns of Andrew's true feelings along with his true nature. Following several missions, Mack sacrifices himself to defeat Flurious, but the Sentinel Knight uses the Corona Aurora to revive him and transform him into a human. Following this and the Rangers' retirement, Mack joins Andrew as his adventuring partner.
In combat, Mack possesses super-strength, which he initially believes is the result of genetic enhancement before learning he was upgraded, and wields the Drive Lance. Furthermore, he can combine with the Sentinel Knight to become the Red Sentinel Ranger.
Mack Hartford is portrayed by James Maclurcan in Power Rangers Operation Overdrive and voiced by Nolan North in Power Rangers: Super Legends.
Will Aston
[edit]William "Will" Aston is a suave and quick-witted yet womanizing and cocky spy-for-hire and the Black Overdrive Ranger who appreciates the finer things in life, enjoys any chance to prove his skills against sophisticated security devices, and tries to maintain a superior-minded appearance.[9][7][10][11][12] Having previously worked alone, he displays vexation towards working with his fellow Rangers and frequently goes off on his own, during which he forms a rivalry with Kamdor. After Mack helps him understand the benefits of working with a team,[13] Will goes on to teach a new team to assist him in his work following the Rangers' retirement.
On his own, Will possesses skill in espionage and several high-tech gadgets. Following Andrew's enhancements, he acquires superhuman hearing and "telescopular" vision. Furthermore, he wields the Drive Slammer hammer and possesses the HoverTek Cycle.

[edit]Dax Lo is a talkative yet enthusiastic stuntman and the Blue Overdrive Ranger who dreams of becoming an actor and appreciates jokes, but can get serious when the situation calls for it.[14][7] Throughout his time as a Ranger, he develops a minor rivalry with Miratrix after she manipulates him into falling in love with her before retiring as a Ranger and stuntman to pursue directing instead.

Following Andrew's enhancements, she acquires superhuman speed. Furthermore, she wields the Drive Claws.

Rose Ortiz
[edit]Rose Ortiz is an intelligent yet casual and serious-minded prodigy, the Pink Overdrive Ranger, and technician. Having skipped most of grade school during her childhood, she was forced to grow up quickly. After joining the Rangers, she slowly becomes more outgoing and open with her teammates and develops much of their weaponry, such as Mack's Battlizer,[10][11] before becoming a teacher following the Rangers' retirement.
On her own, she is a Mensa level genius with an encyclopedic knowledge regarding almost any subject, from geography to the Overdrive equipment.[7][16] Nonetheless, she can prove dangerous in combat.[17][18] Following Andrew's enhancements, she gains the ability to turn invisible. Furthermore, she wields the Drive Geyser water gun.
Rose Ortiz is portrayed by Rhoda Montemayor.
Tyzonn
[edit]Tyzonn is an alien from the planet Mercuria who previously worked with the Intergalactic Emergency Responder Squad, a search and rescue team, alongside his fiancée Vella until most of his team were killed by the Fearcats. Ever since, Tyzonn dedicated himself to bringing them to justice. In pursuit of his quest, he tracks them to Earth, where he is captured by Moltor, transformed into a draconic Pachycephalosaurus-themed form, and forced to serve him in exchange for regaining his original form.
While fighting the Overdrive Rangers to retrieve two of the Corona Aurora's jewels, Mack realizes Tyzonn's true nature and uses the jewels' power to revert him to normal.[19][20] Despite learning Flurious had empowered the Fearcats, Tyzonn initially refuses to work with the Rangers out of fear of losing them as well until Ronny assures him his original team's deaths were not his fault. Following this, he joins them as the silver-colored Mercury Ranger to combat the Fearcats, Moltor, and Flurious and complete the Corona Aurora.[15][13][17] In time, Tyzonn is reunited with Vella and, once the Rangers' work is finished, retires to be with her.[21]

Andrew Hartford
[edit]Andrew Hartford is a pragmatic yet overprotective billionaire adventurer, owner of several corporations, and creator of Mack Hartford, who he created two years prior to the series and led to believe was his son. Six months prior to the series, Andrew found a crown-like artifact called the Corona Aurora, but inadvertently freed two villainous brothers, Flurious and Moltor, from their imprisonment. As atonement, the Corona's guardian, the Sentinel Knight, tasked Andrew with keeping it safe and retrieving its scattered jewels. In pursuit of this, Andrew discovered the Universal Morphin' Grid, developed Ranger technology, and recruited Will Aston, Dax Lo, Ronny Robinson, and Rose Ortiz to become the Overdrive Rangers with the intention of leading them. However, after Mack becomes involved against his wishes, Andrew reluctantly allows him to take his place on the team and uses his wealth and knowledge to provide support for the Rangers.[7][10][11][30][16]
Andrew Hartford is portrayed by Rod Lousich.
Flurious
[edit]Flurious is an intelligent yet short-tempered and irritable ice monster. Millennia prior, a human Flurious and his brother Moltor sought out the Corona Aurora, only to be transformed into monsters and imprisoned on separate planets across the galaxy while the Sentinel Knight took the Corona and its jewels to Earth for safekeeping. After Andrew Hartford finds the Corona, he inadvertently frees the brothers from their imprisonment. Renewing his quest for the artifact, Flurious returns to Earth, takes over Norg's cave to establish it as a base for himself, creates monsters called "Chillers" to serve as foot soldiers, invents advanced technology, and battles the Overdrive Rangers.[7] Throughout the series, he forms temporary alliances with Moltor, among others, in an effort into manipulating them into helping him,[25][24][31][32][33] constructs two giant robots that the Overdrive Rangers ultimately destroy,[34][24] clashes with Thor,[27] and turns the Fearcats into cyborgs in the hopes that they will serve him, only to be betrayed by them.[15] Eventually, Flurious acquires one of the Corona's jewels and uses it to kill Moltor before mounting an attack on the Rangers to steal the remaining jewels and the Corona.[35][29] Using their power to evolve into a stronger form, he overpowers the Rangers until Mack sacrifices himself to kill Flurious.[36]

Recurring characters
[edit]Sentinel Knight
[edit]The Sentinel Knight is the protector of the Corona Aurora. Millennia prior, he took the Corona Aurora to Earth and scattered it and its accompanying jewels across the planet after Flurious and Moltor mounted a failed attempt at stealing it, only to be transformed into monsters and imprisoned on different planets. After Andrew Hartford finds the Corona and inadvertently frees the villains, the Sentinel Knight tasks him with helping him protect the artifact and retrieve the jewels due to losing his physical form.[7][19][20] Later in the series, the Overdrive Rangers retrieve a magical sword called Excelsior and fuse it with the Sentinel Knight, granting him a new physical form with the ability to transform into Excelsior for the Rangers to wield in battle and enlarge himself.[33] Additionally, following modifications carried out by Rose Ortiz, he gains the ability to transform into Battlizer armor for Mack Hartford. Once the Corona's jewels are recovered, the Corona itself completed, and Flurious and Moltor defeated, the Sentinel Knight regains his original form and takes the artifact for safekeeping.

Growing impatient, they kidnap Ronny Robinson and use her Ranger powers instead, successfully freeing Benglo before Ronny and Tyzonn destroy the mirror, permanently trapping the imprisoned Fearcats. Undeterred, Cheetar dies fighting the Overdrive Rangers while Flurious uses his technology to transform Mig and Benglo into powerful cyborgs in the hopes that they would serve him.
