Power Rangers Wild Force/Characters

Our Heroes

Friend to All Living Things
The Hero
Hurting Hero: He grew up in the jungle, knowing nothing about where he came from. As a Ranger, he later learns his parents are presumed dead. He then learns they are dead and were killed by their friend, Dr. Adler (who became Master Org). Cole demonstrates considerable restraint in not killing Adler when he had the chance.
Large Ham: He stands out with his overly serious lines during the Red Ranger Reunion episode, in stark contrast with his predecessors' more relaxed deliveries. Even Carter was more laidback in comparison.
Law of Chromatic Superiority: Now who got a Battlizer, a second Cool Bike, and the chance to go on a mission with nine other Red Rangers?
Nature Hero
Parental Abandonment
Raised by Natives
Rookie Red Ranger: One of the more complained about examples, since despite his lack of experience, he was immediately made the team leader just because he was the Red Ranger.
Ship Tease: With Alyssa. The original ending for the finale had the two of them married.
Shirtless Scene: And damn is the guy ripped.
Sleeves Are for Wimps
Speaks Fluent Animal
Wolverine Claws
You Killed My Father

Ace Pilot
Action Girl
Cool Sword
Crossover Ship Tease: In-Universe, with Eric during the team-up episode.
Good Looking Privates
The Lancer
Meaningful Name
Military Brat
- Military Superhero
She's a Man In Japan: Along with some other Yellow Rangers in the franchise - in her case, her counterpart is male Air Force AWOL Gaku Washio. She is, so far, the last one.
Shipper on Deck: Is the first one to point out the tension between Princess Shayla and Merrick.
- Then ends up on the other side of this with Eric in "Reinforcements From The Future."
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Shayla's Girly Girl.
Tsundere: Watch the crossover with Eric from Time Force "Reinforcements from the Future" and you'll understand.

Black Best Friend
Blade Below the Shoulder
Cassandra Truth: His calls of a monster sighting were dismissed by his partners as childish imagination.
Dawson Casting: Max is supposed to be a lot younger than the others, but he ends up looking the same age.
Dreaming of Things to Come: He got his second Zord this way.
Heterosexual Life Partners: With Danny.
Kid Appeal Character: Has some elements of one.

The Atoner
Badass Goatee: The first Ranger to sport facial hair.
Bad Guys Play Pool
Bigger Stick
Ineffectual Loner
I Work Alone
Really 700 Years Old
Sixth Ranger
Skunk Stripe: He has two white locks on his otherwise dark hair.
Spider Sense: With the help of the wind, he is able to sense the presence of nearby Orgs. This proves especially useful while fighting Onikage, who tries to hide from sight during some attacks.
Star-Crossed Lovers: With Shayla, in the past.
The Stoic
Tall, Dark and Snarky
Wolf Man

Their Friends

Their Enemies

Big Bad
The Chessmaster
Evil Albino
From Nobody to Nightmare: This sets him apart from most PR Big Bads.
Green-Eyed Monster: His motivation to kill Cole's parents.
Large Ham
- Ham-to-Ham Combat: Whenever he and Cole meet.
Mythology Gag: Master Org looks similar to the main villain from Gosei Sentai Dairanger, who had to be written out of the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. This was apparently intentional.
One-Winged Angel: In the end, absorbs the Org Heart and transforms into a near unstoppable behemoth who singlehandedly kills all the Wild Zords and nearly wins. The only thing that stops him is wall the Wild Zords coming Back From the Dead.
Orcus on His Throne: Justified at first because he's truly only human at the beginning and wouldn't be much of a threat himself. Then he goes One-Winged Angel...
Was Once a Man: Early on, subverted; but then the real Master Org came and took over Adler fully.

Anti-Villain: Type I.
Butt Monkey
Deadly Upgrade: At the expense of his free will.
Deadpan Snarker

Even Evil Has Standards: Seeing his best friend tricked into suicide and then used as a cheap shield led to the next trope.

Villainous Breakdown: Desperately trying to get the favour of her master, General Mandilok, she's convinced of cutting her own horn in order to succeed in kidnapping Princess Shayla without fearing being killed by the Animarium's fountain. She later learns that horns don't grow back, yet still pledges loyalty to her master, obsessed with his approval. Then her efforts are dismissed as Mandilok uses her to shield himself from the rangers' attack.

Big Badass Wolf
Death Equals Redemption: After being destroyed, the spirit of Zen-Aku begins following Merrick, seeking atonement.
