Power Rangers Nova Corps

Power Rangers Nova Corps is a comic series based on the Power Rangers characters. It follows a team of original Rangers and tells a story unconnected to the shows. Where the comic takes place in the Power Rangers continuity is questionable but it seems to have come after the events of Power Rangers in Space as Lord Zed is never mentioned and neither is Zordon.
==Characters==
===Nova Corps===
*A.R. Stryker/Red Ranger: The leader of the Nova Corps and the oldest member. Stryker is the last remaining member of the original Nova Corps and is a hardened warrior. He sees himself as a drill sergeant who tears his men down just so he can build them back up again. He seems to have some kind of attachment to his helmet, refusing to take it off.
*Nick Stone/Yellow Ranger: A very timid and shy young man who likes to bury his head in a book. Nick is the weakest fighter, but manages to use his mind to find the weakest spots of his enemies, this also gives him an advantage over his enemies, as most the warriors they fight are mindless foot soldiers who can't think for themselves.
*Wilbert Bones/Blue Ranger: A man born and raised in the south, Bones is a hardworking man who speaks in a thick southern accent. Bones is a sterotypical southerner and is known for speaking in metaphors that no one can understand, though they usually have some kind of meaning behind them that comes in to play later on.
*Julia Thorn/Black Ranger: Julia is a very excitable young woman who is a fan of comic books and movies. Because of this, she loves being a part of the Rangers as she can more or less become a real life superhero. She has a habit of singing her thoughts and likes to make quips about the enemies.
*Harold Neubert/Green Ranger: The only member (other than Stryker) who was a fighter before becoming a Ranger. Harold is a black belt in karate and is a master at judo. He has quite an ego, believing he can defeat all the Rangers' enemies by himself and even putting the mission in danger just so he can get all the fame. This may be his biggest flaw, but it also his greatest strength as he doesn't know when to give up.
====Zords====
*Red Dragonzord
*Yellow Sphinxzord
*Blue Jackalopezord
*Black Pegasuszord
*Green Catoblepaszord
===Lambdians===
*King Epsilon: The king of the planet Lambda and the main antagonist of the series. Epsilon has conquered thousands of planets all across the universe and is known by many as "The Oncoming Fire" as just like a fire he spreads fast and can destroy everything in his path. In fact, he is so feared most don't even refer to him by a name at all, only refering to Epsilon as "him".
*Gamma: Epsilon's adviser who wears a strange mask. He is one of the most powerful Lambdians second only to Epsilon himself. Gamma is very unpredictable, having bipolar mood swings at random points. He also seems to be able to warp his own biology, as one moment he'll have a body the next he'll just be a floating cloak.
*Chi: The only female member of Epsilon's team and a skilled warrior, Chi leads Epsilon's army and has defeated countless foes. She takes pride in her work, even taking the weapons of the enemies she has killed. Because of this, she is one of the deadliest women in the known universe.
*Alpha & Beta: Epsilon's dim witted henchmen who resemble little imps. They are usually the comic relief in scenes involving Epsilon, as most of his henchmen are extremely deadly and terrifying.
