 "The Fast Adventurer! Black Overdrive Ranger!"
James Taylor is the Fast Adventurer Black Overdrive Ranger of the Overdrive Rangers.
==History==
On the reverse side of society, he was able to adopt the title of a treasure hunter with bad teeth from his techniques of searching ruins and excavation, but he's not as good as Chris Arnolds. When he was younger, Kamador murdered his excavation group (the members of which were abusive in several ways), and James has been in a pursuit of revenge ever since.
He is a rookie member of the Overdrive team along with Emily Rhodes (whom he first met when she had her leg trapped under a heavy rock that left her with amnesia). He acts as a brotherly figure towards her, but soon becomes visibly jealous when he notices that Emily is becoming more attached to Chris and William Ashton. James has a thing against being referred to by color by Chris, preferring to be called by name, instead. He has admitted his affection towards Emily.
In Task 1, after taking the Cocoon of the Clue, he briefly returns his Overdrive Tracker to Chris, who in turn threatened him to drop him into red-hot magma for it if he did not accept it again. Eventually, after James's battle with Kamador, he learns to trust Chris, since Chris had believed in him from the start. Even though William used to consider him to be a thief, James sometimes calls him an "ex-spy." He refers to Veronica Ortiz as sis and seems to admire her, yet he also fears her. James is hot-tempered and tends to act irrationally, but he will never give up and will never run away from a fight.
Unlike William, James fights first and asks questions later. His rebellious nature and anti-hero persona tends to bring him some trouble, but his risky tactics make him a valuable asset to the team. He, as Kamador had stated, suppresses darkness in his heart and this darkness is freed at the conclusion of Task 45 when he holds the Precious known as the Three Headed Dragon of Darkness. He became infuriated when The Camera Monster mimicked his human form in Task 14; naturally, the fury did not die down until Camera Monster was terminated.
In Task 33 he is kidnapped by the Moltor's Tribe and the Fearcats to obtain information about Emily, revealing to him that she is actually a Lemurian. Feeling responsible for all that happened following this revelation and what happened to Emily, James went into her rescue only to see Emily with the Fearcats and disappear. After finally breaking into the Moltor's Forces's base, in a desperate attempt to get Emily out of her trance, James embraces her and yells her to remember who she really was, a Power Ranger, and succeeded in recovering Emily and foiling the Negative's plans.
As of Task 46, due to doubts about himself and fears of what he could do to his comrades, James abandoned the team, leaving only his SGS Jacket and Overdrive Tracker. He returns to the team in Task 48, wielding the Drill Blaster numerous times with William, Emily, Veronica, and Tyzonn untransformed and without the Defender Vest.
In Task 49 after the final battle between Flurious, James becomes the new Chief of the Overdrive Rangers after Chris retired his Red Rangers commission to explore space for Other Treasures. James's treasure was being a Power Ranger.
