**Johnathon "John" Waters** (born 2004) is the son/creation of billionaire Jimmy Waters, the brother of Kristen and Jake Waters, and the leader of the Overdrive Rangers. He is an avid adventure novel reader who becomes the **Red Overdrive Ranger**, the Red Ranger of the **Overdrive Rangers**.

## History

### Early Life

Billionaire and adventurer Jimmy Waters wanted a son and, due to his work, was never able to after the death of his wife. He then built an android and named him John. John was programmed with memories of his father's own childhood, so he could live as a normal teenager. Jimmy and his butler, Spencer, then photoshopped old photographs to include pictures of John when he was a "child". John continued his existence not knowing of his true origins. Outgoing and enthusiastic, he was sheltered by his father and had the desire to prove himself. John is heavily into adventure novels and other escapist fantasies. He was the only Ranger not deliberately recruited, the powers being intended for use by his father, being involved in Operation Overdrive by accident and against his father's initial wishes.

### Operation Overdrive

#### Kick Into Overdrive

Two years after his activation his father had found the Corona Aurora, and it had released Moltor and Flurious from their imprisonment. The Sentinel Knight then appeared to Jimmy Hartford to convince him it was now his responsibility to protect the crown and its jewels from evil. Jimmy then went to work building the Overdrive Rangers' powers, Zords, and weapons.

Jimmy then recruited Will Aston, Jake Waters, Kristen Waters, and Sabrina Ortiz to be Power Rangers, as it was his intention to become the Red Ranger. After convincing that group to become Rangers, he altered their DNA to have genetic powers. As Mr. Waters was about to get his enhancement, John walked in, interrupting the procedure. This caused an impromptu meeting between John and Jimmy. Moltor's Lava Lizards then came to the Hartford estate, causing the Rangers to have to take off. Jimmy gave the Rangers their Morphers, and had them go ahead. Jimmy was about to morph and join the four recruits, but was captured by some Lava Lizards, causing his morpher to break free. John picked up the Morpher and morphed into the Red Overdrive Ranger. He led the other Rangers to a victory over the Chillers and Lava Lizards. He showed bravery and quick tactical thinking in his first battle and was quickly accepted and trusted as leader by the other Rangers.

After returning to base, Moltor captured Mr. Waters and the Corona Aurora. John led the other Rangers to Moltor's lair and saved him, but couldn't get the crown. After defeating one of Moltor's giant monsters, Jimmy gave his blessing to John to become the Red Ranger as he thinks that John looks better in red. He was given a suit and what was assumed to be a genetic power - super strength.

#### Brownbeard's Pearl

John is also very understanding of the meaning of a team. When Will was having difficulties adjusting to working with a team, due to only doing solo work for his whole life, he helped him. With John's leadership, the team found the three scrolls, which when combined, turned into Neptune's Sword, which led them to St. Lucia.  At St. Lucia, they found the Eye of the Sea. After realizing that the Eye wasn't a jewel of the Corona Aurora, the team traded it to Brownbeard for a pearl. The Pearl turned out to be the first jewel of the crown.

#### Toru Diamond

After reading upon the Hou-Ou bird, Mr. Waters concluded that it would lead them to the next jewel. Will tricked Miratrix in order to get to the parchment, but unfortunately freed Kamdor from his jewel prison.  After the Rangers retrieved the parchment, Moltor sent a creature named Joe to retrieve it. John, realizing that Joe wasn't evil, convinced him to join the Rangers to save the world. Joe used citrus acid in lemonade to get the location of the jewel hidden in the parchment. John and Joe took the Sonic Streaker to the volcano to get the Toru Diamond. The two jewels were later used to turn Joe back to his true form.

#### Blue Sapphire

When an expedition camp is attacked by new villains known as the Fearcats in Brazil, the Rangers worked with Joe to stop them. Flurious tests his gyros on the Fearcats, Mig and Benglo, turning them into powerful cyborgs. It's a race against time for the Rangers to save Joe and stop the Fearcats from destroying San Angeles. The Rangers traveled to Norway and raced Moltor to the mystical hammer Mjolnir. Moltor retrieves it first, the Rangers then attempt to take Mjolnir back. Tracing the connection between the Cannon of Ki-Amuk and Mjolnir, the Rangers travel to Mexico and are ambushed. In the process, Loki appears, masquerading as Thor, and steals Mjolnir. To get it back, Ronny disguises herself as the goddess Freyja. After the Rangers use the Cannon of Ki-Amuk and Mjolnir to get the Piedra Aztec del Compás it gets stolen by Moltor. Moltor sends Blothgaar to fight the Rangers. John is blasted by the Compass and is overcome by a serious case of a bad luck, which should have been impossible since he was a robot. Later John was freed from the curse with the help of his friends and they returned the compass.  The Rangers then used the compass to find the Blue Sapphire, which was stolen by Kamdor and Miratrix.

#### Star of Isis

"One Fine Day" revealed John's memories of a happy childhood ten years ago don't match with reality, with Jimmy mentioning John first appeared only two years ago; additionally, he was unable to pass through the Fearcats' forcefield in the same episode, despite maintaining continuous physical contact with Joe and Sabrina who had already successfully passed through. In the final scene of "Ronny on Empty Part 2", Jimmy was initially startled to see John's choice of Halloween costume, that of a robot. (Jimmy's, fittingly, was that of a Frankinstineish mad scientist).

John was finally revealed to be an android when he was affected by the same computer virus created by Kamdor's monster that infected the BattleFleet Zords and the base's computers and he awoke to find his head not attached to his body. He was shaken by the revelation to the extent of not thinking he was needed in battle, and Spencer had to snap him out of it by reminding him that, despite his origins and the identity crisis, he was loved. The other Rangers showed support when they found out - as Joe stated, they'd accepted him and he was an alien - but John seemed unwilling to forgive his father for keeping it a secret, refusing to talk with him.

#### Pink Emerald

In "Red Ranger Unplugged" he had a brief identity crisis, unsure if his hobbies were really his or just programmed into him, though he soon got past this.  Unplugged He is still resentful of his father for lying to him, and by "Home and Away Part 2" he had started referring to him simply as "Mr. Waters" and saying he can't be angry because "androids don't have emotions".

In "Way Back When", the other Rangers plugged John in the main computer to see his memories, so they could find more info about the Jewels of the Corona Aurora.

In the final episode "Crown and Punishment", John realized his father cared for him when Flurious threatened to kill John for the jewels, causing Jimmy to trade the jewels for John. After this, John began calling him "Dad" again. John uses up all his power in the final battle with Flurious to destroy the villain, but unfortunately, depleting his own power and causing severe internal damage.

The other Overdrive Rangers rushed him back to Jimmy, who sadly informed the Rangers that the damage to John's systems was too severe to be repaired, which means they lost him, and while another android could be built - that android, while it would look like John, would not be the John they knew.

Seconds later, the Sentinel Knight arrived to offer his congratulations, and was perplexed by the Rangers' reactions, until he learned that 'the valiant Red Warrior' had fallen in battle to the Corona Aurora. As he reminded them of the power of the Corona Aurora, Jimmy sadly said that it was impossible to bring John back to life as he was only a machine, but the Knight mused that John had fought with too much heart to be anything other than 'real'. Using the power of the Corona Aurora (placed upon John's head), the Sentinel Knight not only revived John, but turned him into an actual human being. With Operation Overdrive succeeding in its mission to find the Jewels of the Corona Aurora, and the other Rangers leaving to return to their pre-Ranger lives, John is living his fondest wish, and is currently traveling on adventures with his father overseas.

### Megaforce

John along with the other Overdrive Rangers and other Ranger teams are seen in Troy's premonition about the Legendary Battle.

He and the other Rangers are seen again in another of Troy's dream/vision about the Legendary Battle.

### Super Megaforce

Emperor Mavro was defeated, but the remaining thousands of X Borgs still stand. Tommy gathered all the existing Power Rangers, John returned with his fellow Overdrive Rangers as part of the army of Legendary Rangers led by Tommy that helped the Mega Rangers defeat the Armada once and for all, fighting in a huge battle against hundreds of X Borgs and dozens of Bruisers. After the demise of the X Borgs, Tommy shook hands with Troy and teleported off along with John and the Legendary Rangers.

### Dino Fury

Zayto activates the Legendary Ranger Database, showing Master Blue that Master Green came to them after the Dinohenge statues were destroyed and restored them to normal. Also, Zayto says that he found Ranger teams who were saved in their darkest moments through unexplained reasons and shows them three specific moments. Including the Legendary Battle where all the Legendary Rangers including John and the other Overdrive Rangers coming to the aid of the Megaforce Rangers in the Legendary Battle and helping them defeat an entire army of the Armada's X Borgs.

## Personality

John is an enthusiastic thrill-seeker. He's willing to do anything for his team mates, and is convinced he's always been Jimmy's biological son. However, he feels betrayed upon discovering he's an android. When he becomes a real human teenager, he's eager to join his father on archaeological expeditions.

### Imitations

* The Evil Red Overdrive Ranger was created by Crazar via her copying abilities.

Copy Evil Ranger's Red Overdrive Ranger.
## Non-Ranger Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Super-Strength**: John can lift objects up to several tons, but his strength limit is currently unknown. He can also deliver strikes much more powerful than the average human's. Using his newfound strength, he has lifted many an item, including gigantic boulders, trees, his team, and his butler, Spencer. The Rangers do not seem to be able to use their genetic powers while transformed, though their morphed outfits give them a boost in strength regardless. His "Genetic Power" was in reality an alteration of his android body to allow such strength as he had no DNA to alter at the time. As a result, it is unclear if he retained his power upon becoming human, which would make him the only Overdrive Ranger to not be permanently affected by his service.
