B-Squad Rangers


Although the B-Squad were initially a backup team as their name suggests, they were promoted to the Earth's primary line of defense and granted Ranger status after the A-Squad vanished, as well acting as tutors for the D-Squad Cadets. They are an integral part of the Space Patrol Delta organization.
The B-Squad is later joined as active Rangers by Commander Anubis "Doggie" Cruger, the Shadow Ranger and their superior officer in S.P.D., and Sam, the Omega Ranger.
In Endings pt. 2, the A-Squad position was retired and B-Squad was made the highest rank in S.P.D. Cadets.
Jack Landors

'Jack Landors' (played by Brandon Jay McLaren) is the 'S.P.D. Red Ranger'. A former street thief alongside his best friend Z, Jack volunteered to become the Red B-Squad Ranger in order to save Z's life as well as those of the other Rangers and took over as leader, to the ire of Sky Tate. At first, he took his position as team leader very lightly, but has since proven he is a very capable leader, albeit one who often clashes with the chain of command. He formed a slightly uneasy but respect-based relationship with Sky, taking tactical suggestions from him in the field and helping him deal with his issues regarding Mirloc & his father.
After his encounter with the volunteer Ally, he realized that, while he liked being a Ranger, what he really wanted to do was go back to helping people on the streets - the conflict of these two interests led to him nearly botching the mission against Delex. Following the destruction of the Magnificence and the containment of Gruumm, Jack left S.P.D. to work with Ally full-time and Sky took his place. Despite his casual attitude, he loathes having to say goodbye and left S.P.D. without telling the rest of B-Squad; despite this, they remain close.
While unmorphed, his genetic power enables him to become intangible and pass through any object. As Red Ranger, he has exclusive access to a Battlizer and also control over two separate Zords & S.W.A.T. Mode. He wields twin laser blasts and is an impressive sharpshooter. His uniform sports the number 1.
Jack doesn't know when he was born. Syd, however, offered to share her birthday with him.
His assigned S.P.D. number is 1 and later resigned.

Sky Tate

Main articles: Sky Tate

'Schuyler Tate' is the 'S.P.D. Blue Ranger' who was originally a stickler for rules. Sky is top on B-Squad on weapons and fighting, and believes he should be the Red Ranger just like his father was. Unfortunately, his pride gets in the way and Commander Cruger picks him to be the Blue Ranger.
When Sky faces off against Mirloc, the one responsible for the death of his father, Jack thinks Sky should be the one to bring him in as the Red Ranger. Although it was an honor to be the Red Ranger, Sky begins to realize that heroes come in all colors. After going through extensive S.W.A.T. training on Zantor to acquire S.W.A.T. Mode, he discovers the importance of his team. With teamwork, they are able to even defeat the renegade A-Squad.
With Jack leaving S.P.D., Sky has grown into a great leader and has learned to accept his teammates as equals. Cruger chooses him to step up as the new Red Ranger.
While unmorphed, his genetic power allows him to create force fields.
His assigned S.P.D. number is 2 and is later promoted to 1, then (possibly) 100.
Bridge Carson

Main articles: Bridge Carson

'Bridge Carson' is the 'S.P.D. Green Ranger'. Bridge might appear slow at times, but he is a computer genius, a master mechanic, and much more. He might be gullible, but he also has a heart of gold. People underestimate Bridge, but he always manages to come through with his quick thinking. People underestimate him by his love of "buttery" toast. The phrase "buttery," was first mentioned by him when offering toast to the Yellow S.P.D. Ranger, Z, who formed a firm friendship with him and seemed to admire. She also seems to admire him back, as she defended him, when Sky blamed Syds confusion on Bridges rambling.
Bridge takes it upon himself to overanalyze any situation and sometimes lacks confidence. Bridge endures S.W.A.T. training on Zantor with the others to achieve S.W.A.T. Mode. Bridge relies more on intuition than any other Ranger and is the first one to sense that something is wrong with A-Squad. As time goes on, the other Rangers come to respect how he always comes through for them and he becomes more confident.
While unmorphed, his genetic power gives him a form of psychometry, and the ability to scan and discern others auras. His genes also cause him to wiggle his fingers anytime he attempts to say the word "buttery". He has no control over this.
After Jack left S.P.D., and once Sky was promoted to Red Ranger, Bridge was promoted to Blue Ranger. After Commander Cruger is promoted, Sky is promoted as well, leaving Bridge as the Red Ranger.
His assigned S.P.D. number is 3 and is later promoted to 2, then 1. See Once a Ranger for details.
Elizabeth Delgado

'Elizabeth "Z" Delgado' (played by Monica May) is the 'S.P.D. Yellow Ranger'. When Z was younger, she was considered an outcast at school due to her genetic power. She ran away and, upon being attacked by a vicious monster, she was saved by a disguised Anubis Cruger. Eventually, she began living on the streets. It was there that she met her best friend Jack and began stealing for the poor. She eventually grew tired of that profession and wished to be part of something bigger, which led to her being drafted into the S.P.D. B-Squad.
Despite their differing personalities, she formed a firm friendship with both Bridge and Syd, often teaming up with the Pink Ranger in battle. She seem to also admire Bridge, in which Bridge usually would confirm to her. She also defended him when Sky blamed Syds confusion on Bridges rambling. Easy-going and somewhat slobby, she is a viciously determined fighter and, due to her past alienation, took it upon herself to reach out to young Sam.
Her genetic power of duplication allows her to become a virtual one-Ranger army in the blink of an eye. Z has the power to make several copies of herself when needed.
She has a long history with Piggy and appears to trust him as a friend, often going to him for underworld information or help even when his duplicious nature was obvious. When he was revealed to be openly working for Gruumm, Z was shocked that he could have betrayed them.
Through S.W.A.T. training on Zantor, Z learns to get over her differences with Syd and together as a team, the Rangers take down a renegade A-Squad. When Jack leaves S.P.D., Z stays with the Rangers and continues to live out her dream of protecting the innocent.
Her assigned S.P.D. number is 4. It is also an interesting to point out that her character is among the first of the Yellow Rangers to not have a skirt on her uniform, but to also be female in both Sentai and Power Rangers footage. All the other female Yellow Rangers have either been male in the Sentai footage, or have worn a skirt.
She is believed to be the daughter of former Wild Force Black Ranger Danny Delgado due to sharing the same surname, although no further hints are given.
Sydney Drew

'Sydney "Syd" Drew' (portrayed by Alycia Purrott) is the 'S.P.D. Pink Ranger'. Her parents worked at S.P.D. and were involved with the creation of the Delta Morphers, which altered Syd's DNA, giving her the ability to change her hand into any material she touches. Her family is very wealthy. She was on the B-Squad along with Bridge Carson and Sky Tate.
Her life before S.P.D. is not clear. Multiple references during the show imply that she has many talents, including being an excellent fencer, pop star, and model. Despite her flagrant vanity and occasional selfishness, she is very caring and compassionate, and is often the first to stand up for someone when they are being treated wrong.
Her assigned S.P.D. number is 5. Syd is the first Pink Ranger to not wear a skirt on her uniform, despite being female in both Sentai and Power Rangers footage.

Dr. Kat Manx


Main articles: Katherine Manx

'Dr. Katherine "Kat" Manx' was the science officer of Earth's S.P.D. branch. She has designed most of the Rangers' weapons - and is Commander Cruger's trusted assistant and friend. Her home planet was also attacked by the Troobian Empire, so she has joined in S.P.D.'s fight against evil.
She may be just a lab technician, but she can hold her own. With a temporary Morpher, she become the 'S.P.D. Kat Ranger' to stop an old friend with a grudge. Although her time as a Ranger was limited to an hour, she realizes the Rangers need her skills on Earth. When Commander Cruger and B-Squad are captured, she is one of the ones who leads the remaining S.P.D. Cadets into battle against the invading Troobian Empire.

Nova Ranger


'Nova Ranger' is a fictional character in the TV series She is voiced by Antonia Prebble while her human form was portrayed by an uncredited actress. Her numeric S.P.D. insignia is M, the Roman numeral for 1000.
During the final battle with Gruumm, the B-Squad Rangers had left the S.P.D. base relatively unguarded, save for Dr. Kat Manx, Boom, the Omega Ranger, and the S.P.D. cadets. Grumm's forces were overpowering the S.P.D. forces, when a time-portal suddenly appeared, and a silver-colored Ranger stepped out. She identified herself as the S.P.D. Nova Ranger. Nova Ranger had been Omega Ranger's ally in the future, and had been searching various timelines in her effort to locate him. With her help, the S.P.D. base was protected from harm. A second time portal was opened after the battle ended and the unmorphed Nova Ranger, along with the unmorphed and now-fully-human Omega Ranger, returned to the future.
Nova Ranger had a blue-and-gold device very similar in appearance to the Omega Ranger's Morpher, which was called the Nova Morpher. Like the Omega Morpher, Nova Ranger's morpher acted as her only weapon in combat and had an Electro-Mode. However, unlike the Omega Morpher, the Nova Morpher appeared to have better time traveling capabilities and the power to restore Omega Ranger to human form.
