Roman Rangers

The Roman Rangers are evil counterparts of the Olympian Rangers, based on the Roman versions of the Greek gods.

Description
These Rangers' suits are darker than their good counterparts, and have black accents instead of white, but otherwise their Ranger tech and powers are identical. Out of morph, they look exactly like their deity counterparts, but with all-black eyes. By their own description, they are the spiritual opposites of the Olympian Rangers, and are faster, stronger and smarter.

History
Hades stole the concept of evil Rangers from Astronema's Psycho Rangers. They first appeared spying on the Olympian Rangers, plotting their first attack, which they executed soon after. Beating up their counterparts, they took a hostage, a young boy named Jack whom Lew had befriended. Hacking into Olympian Ops' systems, they ordered the Rangers to exchange one of their own for the civilian.

Lew tried to rescue Jack, but got captured, and the rest of his team was ambushed by their counterparts. Mercury almost killed his counterpart, but Jack distracted him by freeing himself, giving Lew enough time to teleport out of his bonds and morph. The rest of the team almost lost, but Diana insisted on "a decent fight" before she finished them off.

Later, as the Rangers tried to get Marissa's crystal re-energized, Hades sent the Roman Rangers to prevent it from happening. Venus kept the ones who'd stayed at home busy, while Diana and Phoebus attacked the other four. Phoebus and Venus were shrunk and captured, but Diana escaped.

Diana
Diana is the Red Roman Ranger, leader of the team. She cared more about a good fight than a quick victory, even going against Hades' orders to get it. She and Phoebus ambushed four of the Olympian Rangers on Olympus, fighting unmorphed since the location prevented either side from doing so.

Mercury
Mercury is the Blue Roman Ranger, and presumably the technical expert of the team. He got the closest to killing his opposite, Lew. He and Mars did not get along.

Venus
Venus is the Yellow Roman Ranger. While her teammates went after the four Rangers who'd gone to Olympus, she and a squad of Dwellers kept the rest of the team busy. Though alone, she was able to fight off Charley, Jet and Kennedi for some time before being shrunk and imprisoned in an Alscepius Cube.

Phoebus
Phoebus is the Green Roman Ranger. He accompanied Diana to Olympus, where they ambushed Lew, Nathalie, Bryce and Marissa. He was the first of the Roman Rangers to be defeated.

Vesta
Vesta is the Orange Roman Ranger.

Mars
Mars is the Black Roman Ranger. He and Mercury did not get along, and he seemed to have a vicious streak, having to be dragged off Jet by Diana.
