List of Power Rangers Discovery characters

Power Rangers Discovery is an American children's television series that airs on Nickelodeon. It is the 2023 entry of the Power Rangers franchise which tells the story of Michael Burnham, and his efforts to navigate a team of sub-atomic explorers as they are recruited by the Discovery Organization to defend Earth from Xenu and his army of mutants.

Discovery Power Rangers
The Special Defence Unit of the Discovery Organization is composed of a team of five Power Rangers; four crew members from the Discovery-operated expedition Isis III, and a zoologist working in the agency's species management unit, their mission to defend Earth from the Cult of Xenu. Each Ranger carries an Omnimorpher, a cube-like device which they use to transform, control their Zords and use as a cellphone, and a Primal Defender, a sidearm that has both a Sword Mode and a Blaster Mode. They also possess a special mode known as Primal Exertion, that associates each of them with the animal they represent, manifesting certain features from said animal once this ability has been activated. The Rangers are later joined in battle by a disabled hacker who previously served as their carer and technical advisor, after he bonds with a weapon previously belonging to an artifical, genocidal, Ranger-like warrior recruited by Xenu.

Instinctian Masters
The Masters of the Instinctian Order battled Xenu, and sealed his soul at the cost of losing five the remaining six of their members in the fight. Three more masters were slain prior to the Quantum War, during the Vietnam War to activate the Continental Tricon. In the series finale, the four deceased Instinctian Masters briefly return to even the Rangers' odds against the resurrected army of Xenu, finishing them off in their stronger combined form, a purple, Ranger-like being known as Master X.

Jungle Joe is a Gorilla Instinctian who runs a combination orphanage and salvaging operation in the vast junkyards on the outskirts of Prism City, putting the children to work picking apart piles of e-waste for useful scrap-metal. He first appears in the episode "Path of the Gorilla", where Michael's search for his father leads him to discover that the cave where his father is being held requires an artifact known as a Golden Banana to access it, though he doesn't remember it. Michael strong-arms him into revealing his records books, only to discover that someone stole the pages from that year to destroy the evidence.

Other antagonists
Not all of the Discovery Rangers' enemies were associated with Xenu. There were also other enemies of the Rangers that acted on their own.
