Vikrum/Maverick

Vikrum/Maverick is the leader of the Wild West Coasters. He is an entrepreneur who brought jobs to Frontier Town with his mining company, Black Diamond. He is based off the roller coaster of the same name located at Cedar Point.

The Entrepreneur
Frontier Town wasn't much more than an out post where some would spend a night and then leave on the next train out. It was poor town that had been swept with crime, that had since settled with help of Mean Streak and WIldCat.

One day, he was walking around when he noticed a crack in a hillside. He took his ax and broke into an iron deposit. He soon got a loan and started Black Diamond Mining Company.

He soon made a fortune and brought prosperity to the town. He fell in love with WildCat, the sheriff's deputy. However, Cedar Point stopped the fighting between Mean Streak and Maverick by removing her ride from the park, thus destroying her engine soul.

The Vengeance Trio
Kate was replaced by a mortal, Mike Goubuster. However, the new duet had little to do until the Vengeance Rangers showed up. The trio took Mean Streak's Engine Soul for themselves, but "Big Mike" didn't break and tried to shoot their leader, Jackson "Blackjack" Chamberlain, but he was an Android with a stronger shell then he thought was possible.

He approached Maverick to help him. From there, they got Blue Streak, Ghost Rider, and Diamondback on their side. Despite being the deputy, it was Maverick who became Red Ranger.

The Rangers first worked with Steel Force and Excalibur, the former receiving Mean Streak's powers wile the later stole from an ARC at their park (Corkscrew).

When Ghost Rider fell ill, it also affected the other ranger with the same powers, Seamus Decker. Seamus replaced him for a brief period until the morphing grid finally balanced out.

Shift Into Nitro
These backstories were retold once the Coaster Force-Nitro arrived at Cedar Point. At this point, the 15 rangers fought together for the first time against an army of White Walkers that had followed the Coaster Force to Cedar Point.

The Wild West Coasters continued the campaign to unite the ARC's against the Boma and Vengeance Rangers. Their powers were destroyed during the Coaster war, allowing Seamus to use the Ghost Rider powers in the vs film with Hexagon-Phantom Rangers.

Personality
Maverick tends to be a witty, but at times greedy, person. He doesn't want to take "NO" for an answer and wants to do everything he can to keep Frontier Town safe, even if that means checking the baggage at the door.
