Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Powers

Each of the Power Rangers experience an initial boost to their physical abilities once they are exposed to the Energy of the Morphing Grid; this results in a 20x to 30x amplification to their baseline Strength, Speed and Durability. Their senses and agility also undergo a less potent enhancement. Once their morphing devices are used to activate their armor, their abilities are increased by another 5x, and they are "downloaded" with the knowledge of how to use their weapons and Zord vehicles.

Each Ranger has significant proficiency in hand to hand combat, melee weapon combat (usually specialized to two or three types of weapons), hand-held firearms, and other specialized weapons that they can utilize while not piloting their Zords. Their Zords are highly futuristic vehicles that have a variety of onboard systems arrays, which provide number of different capacities: Energy and "Armored" attacks, specialized sensor equipment, and the ability to combine into a gestalt mechanical Anthropomorphic Robot.

The once Venjix cyborg that escaped, Dillon (portrayed by Daniel Ewing) was loose with no memory of his past until he picked up Ziggy outside Corinth and was later recruited by the RPM Rangers.

He becomes the Black Megaforce Ranger, chosen by Earth's ancient guardian Gosei due to his fearlessness on the battlefield. Jake wields the Mega Blaster and his mighty but rather heavy Snake Axe into battle. In Ultra Megaforce mode he wields the Ultra Sword and commands the Gosei Snake Mechazord and Land Brothers Zords.

Power Rangers Dino Charge

Chase Randal, portrayed by actor James Davies, is the Black Dino Charge Power Ranger. He represents the Parasaurolophus dinosaur and commands the Para Zord. Chase was the first to become a Dino Charge Power Ranger when he was given the Black Energem by a fortune teller and is the second in command of the team. Chase is portrayed as a cool, relaxed 18-year-old, that is up to date with modern trends. He works at a dinosaur museum with Kendall Morgan, the Purple Dino Charge Ranger, rides a skateboard, plays guitar in his spare time, and is extremely popular with women. His ultimate downfall, however, is that he is very forgetful and can easily be distracted.
