Power Rangers Beast Morphers is an American children's television series that aired on Nickelodeon. It is the 2019 entry in the Power Rangers franchise and serves as a direct continuation of Power Rangers RPM . [1] The show follows Devon Daniels, Ravi Shaw, Zoey Reeves, Nate Silva, and Steel as they are recruited by Grid Battleforce to defend the Morphin Grid from Evox.
The Beast Morpher Rangers are a government-funded team formed by Grid Battleforce from Morph-X combined with animal DNA. Blaze and Roxy were the original candidates for the Red and Yellow Rangers until Evox corrupted the morphing process and infected their bodies; producing clones who became his loyal Avatars while the real ones were rendered comatose. Following this, Devon and Zoey took their place by accident. [2] However, their Morph-X was partially corrupted by Evox, causing them to receive varying weaknesses. The Rangers transform using Beast-X Morphers in conjunction with Morph-X Keys and each wield a Beast-X Blaster and Saber, which can be combined to form the Beast-X Cannon. [3] [4] In season two, Nate developed the Beast-X Visors, which allow Devon, Ravi, and Zoey to combine with their Beast Bot partners and assume Beast-X Mode to enhance their animal powers. [5]
Devon Daniels is the leader of the Beast Morpher Rangers and the son of Mayor Adam Daniels. Originally, he was not meant to be the Red Ranger as he was not associated with Grid Battleforce. After he snuck in and witnessed Evox’s first attack, he became the Red Ranger. [2] After defeating Evox, Devon became the new commander of Grid Battleforce following Commander Shaw's promotion. [6]
As the Red Beast Morpher Ranger, he was fused with cheetah DNA, which allows him to move at superhuman speeds. [2] Due to Evox's corruption however, Devon will instantly become frozen whenever he sees or hear anything related to dogs. [3] In season one, Devon temporarily acquired a new form called Red Fury Mode, which enhanced his strength. [7] As it ran on Fury Cells that slowly corrupted him however, he was forced to discard it. [8]
Devon Daniels is portrayed by Rorrie D. Travis. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
Ravi Shaw is a Grid Battleforce cadet, son of Commander Shaw, and the only original candidate who survived Evox's first attack. He was in a relationship with Roxy before he broke up with her to embrace his duties as a Ranger. [2] He later felt guilty for pushing her aside after her Avatar's creation left her comatose and eventually revived her before mending their relationship. [14] [15] [16]
As the Blue Beast Morpher Ranger, he was fused with gorilla DNA, which gives him superhuman strength. [2] Due to Evox's corruption, Ravi will overheat and become enraged whenever he overuses his powers enough to attack friend and foe alike. [3]

Nate Silva is a child prodigy, chief researcher, and head of technology at Grid Battleforce. He developed Morph-X for use as a clean, sustainable energy source and created the Rangers' powers and arsenal. Being a genius, Nate is a quick thinker in situations that require it; such as when he gave Devon, Ravi, and Zoey their powers to protect the Morphin Grid. [2] He is also the unwitting creator of Evox when he experimented with Morph-X, snake DNA, and a Cell Shift morpher infected with the Venjix virus. [17]
When he was kidnapped by the Avatars and forced to build a robot body for Evox, Nate was able to subvert the plot by fusing himself with mantis DNA, which allows him to use martial arts, and become the Gold Beast Morpher Ranger. Following this, he officially joined the other Rangers in the field. [18]
Nate Silva is portrayed by Abraham Rodriguez. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
Steel is a stag beetle/scarab beetle-like android whom Nate built after he was captured by the Avatars and forced to build a robot body for Evox. When Nate subverted their plot, he inadvertently fused said robot body with scarab beetle DNA and his human DNA. As a result, "Steel" became the Silver Ranger as well as a "brother" of sorts to Nate. [18] During the Rangers' final battle with Evox, Steel sacrificed himself to stop him, but the Morphin Grid later revived him as a human, who became an actor following the virus' defeat. [6]

When combined with the Rangers' Zords, the Beast Bots provide a Beast Mode while their heads take on the form of control devices. [3] In season two, Nate developed the Beast-X Visor, which can digitize the Beast Bots and transform them into armor for their Ranger partners' Beast-X Modes. [5]
Betty Burke and Ben Burke are sibling cadets of Grid Battleforce, the former being the eldest and most sensible while the latter is the most eager and impulsive. Though they have good intentions, their clumsiness can occasionally get the better of them.

Evox is a sentient computer virus from another dimension who originally went by the name Venjix . Following his defeat at the hands of his creator, Doctor K, and the RPM Rangers, Venjix secretly downloaded his data into the Red RPM Ranger's Cell Shift morpher and was brought to a new dimension, where he fell into Nate's possession. After Nate mixed Morph-X and snake DNA with the morpher, Venjix used its codes to escape, take the name Evox, and assume a king cobra-like form. When Grid Battleforce constructed Morph-X towers, he attempts to take over the Morphin Grid via their computer systems to prevent other Rangers from stopping him again. [17] In doing so, Evox creates evil avatar clones of Blaze and Roxy, puts the real ones into comas, and corrupts the Beast Morpher Rangers' animal DNA. [2] However, he and his Avatars are sent to the Cyber Dimension, where they form an alliance with Scrozzle to obtain enough Morph-X to send Evox back to Coral Harbor. [3] After stealing a Morph-X Tower, [15] Scrozzle constructs a robot body for Evox, who uses it to overpower the Rangers before they destroy the tower during his teleportation attempt. Unbeknownst to them however, Evox possesses Mayor Daniels after the latter braved the Cyber Dimension to save his son. [19]
Ever since, Evox secretly works to collect Morph-X once more to continue his plans and undermine the Rangers as Mayor Daniels while maintaining control over his host. [29] [25] [30] [31] Despite his best efforts, the Rangers eventually discover his secret and separate them, forcing Evox to alter his plans. [20] [21] Following a failed attempt to build a Chimera Zord, [32] Evox allows himself to be captured by Grid Battleforce so he can obtain the morpher he hid within and download his original codes from it, restoring himself to his full power without Morph-X and granting himself the ability to rebuild destroyed Robotrons. After revealing his history to the Rangers, Evox enacts his master plan by taking over the Morph-X tower system and fusing himself with a stolen tower to create a new giant robot form for himself. However, the Rangers corrupt his base code with Morph-X infused human DNA, destroying him permanently. [17] [6]

As a result, Cybervillain Blaze inherits his human template's rivalry with Devon after he was humiliated at the Riptide Gym. [2] [3] After a series of schemes and plots, [4] [18] [27] [7] he and Cybervillain Roxy succeed in stealing a Morph-X Tower so Scrozzle can use it to build Evox a robot body and send him back to Coral Harbor. [15] When the Rangers storm the Cyber Dimension to destroy the tower, Blaze pilots a Megazord Scrozzle built to stop them, only to be defeated by Devon in the Racer Zord. As a result of the avatar's defeat, the real Blaze awakens from his coma. [19]
Cybervillain Roxy is the evil Yellow Ranger and a hard-light holographic Avatar of the human Roxy. While Roxy was becoming the Yellow Beast Morpher Ranger, Evox corrupts the process; placing her in a coma and creating an evil Avatar based on her to serve her. [2] As Roxy's human counterpart was originally in a relationship with Ravi before he broke up with her, the Avatar uses this to her advantage to weaken Ravi's resolve. [14] When Evox concocts a plan to teleport a Morph-X Tower to the Cyber Dimension, Cybervillain Roxy engages the Blue Ranger so Cybervillain Blaze can steal three mega transporters required for the plan. After destroying her morpher, Ravi succeeds in destroying Cybervillain Roxy; allowing the real Roxy to awaken from her coma. [15]
Scrozzle is a robot and the de facto ruler of the Cyber Dimension after he fled there to hide from Vargoyle. When Evox and the Cybervillains arrive in the Cyber Dimension, Scrozzle reluctantly forms an alliance with them, lending them his gadgetry skills, Tronics, Robotrons, and Gigadrones. [3] While he dislikes having to work with the Cybervillains, viewing them as incompetent, [14] he works with them once to betray Vargoyle. [33] After the Cybervillains successfully steal a Morph-X Tower, Scrozzle begins construction on a robot body for Evox before preparing to teleport him back to the real world. [15] However, the Rangers storm the Cyber Dimension and foil the latter plot, though Scrozzle escapes with his Robotron-Maker. [19] Scrozzle attempts to get revenge against the Rangers, but is foiled by Steel and the Beast Bots. [34]
In between seasons, Scrozzle commandeered the Crystal Dimension as a new base for Evox. To expand their ranks, Scrozzle arranges for the human Blaze and Roxy's capture so he can collect DNA samples from them and combine it with back-up data on the fallen Cybervillains and spare robot parts to create robot versions of them. To ensure they survive, he also programs the Robot Maker to recreate their bodies should they fall in battle. [25] After Robo-Roxy inadvertently overloads the Robot Maker while upgrading herself however, it is destroyed beyond repair.

After using several Fury Cells on himself, he became more evil than his creator and turned on him, forcing Scrozzle to take refuge in the Cyber Dimension. [3] [36] After eventually finding him to take the remaining Fury Cells and defeating the Cybervillains, Evox recruits Vargoyle into his ranks and offers a reward if he proves himself against the Rangers. Once he does so, Vargoyle receives an upgrade originally meant for the Cybervillains, who put aside their differences to get revenge. [36] Vargoyle continues to prove himself to Evox by easily defeating the Rangers in a second fight and building a weapon from a blueprint he stole from the Cybervillains for his master plan. [22] After creating Shockatron and Shockadrone to distract the Rangers, Vargoyle uses his Memory Pulsator to alter Coral Harbor's citizens' memories so the Cybervillains can steal three mega-transporters. Though the Rangers fail to stop them, Devon is able to destroy Vargoyle after he was betrayed by his allies. [33] Months later, Ryjack uses his reanimizer to revive Vargoyle and gives him a compliance collar. Following a successful raid on a Morph-X tower, Vargoyle fights the Rangers again until he is destroyed by Devon and Captain Chaku. [37]
Vargoyle is voiced by Jamie Linehan.
Robo-Blaze is a robot clone created by Scrozzle from Cybervillain Blaze's back-up data, spare robot parts, and the real Blaze's DNA who can assume an amber-colored robot form while in battle as well as pilot rebuilt versions of his Cybervillain counterpart's Megazord. If he and Robo-Roxy are destroyed, they can be recreated in the Robot Maker machine that created them. [25] [28] To maintain his usefulness to Evox, Robo-Blaze upgrades himself with a large amount of Morph-X, gaining enhanced strength and speed. [38] After Robo-Roxy inadvertently damages the Robot Maker beyond repair, [35] Nate is able to permanently destroy Robo-Blaze. [17]

[25] To maintain her usefulness to Evox, Robo-Roxy upgrades herself with flower DNA, gaining a left arm-mounted pollen cannon. [39] After Robo-Blaze upgrades himself, [38] Robo-Roxy upgrades herself further with dinosaur DNA, gaining a reptilian-clawed right hand capable of firing energy projectiles, though at the cost of the Robot Maker after she accidentally overloads it beyond repair. While fighting the Rangers in her new form, she uses the full power of the dinosaur DNA to enlarge herself, but is permanently destroyed by the Beast-X King Ultrazord. [35]
