Eddie is Red Chasers, the Red Ranger and the team leader of the Energy Chasers Rangers.
His Chasers Power is Super Speed. Thus, his legs can move at incredible speed, giving him the impression of teleporting. His Robotic Defenders is Ducati.
His power, like other Rangers, has a trade-off on weak points. Whenever Eddie sees a dog he freezes until it leaves or one of his teammates attacks him, only to save him.
Character History[]
Thirteen years ago before the events of the first episode, Eddie's father had saved the MDF staff by isolating his entire research building in Cyberspace to contain the virus called "Evokes". Eddie, along with two other children, were able to escape this isolation.
A program in his body grants him superhuman abilities however Evokes him into one implanted with a virus, giving him a weakness of Cynophobia. His brother, Alex, directly agreed, in honor of his parents, to allow him to join the Energy Chasers training program, which is organized and run by the Mirinoi Defence Force. So Eddie, after joining the team, undertakes simulations and training in order to prepare for the possible threat.
Personality[]
Eddie was someone who was impatient but still followed the rules, but also sought to find a challenge for himself. He also shows signs of being overconfident. He is very fond of football and video games. However, despite all of these traits, Eddie acts like a hero to Shaid and Sarah, even reminding them to stop bickering. His hero instincts eventually led the Commander to appoint him team leader as Eddie himself was a born leader despite being a slacker.
His time as a Ranger helped him become a more centered, patient, and mature leader where Eddie was willing to stick with his team and fight Evokes so the rest of Mirinoi Defense Force could get away and stay safe.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Superhuman Speed: Due to being linked with Cheetah DNA, Eddie can move at extremely fast speed. When also using the Fury Key in his new Battlizer, Eddie became much more faster than his original powers were.
- Vortex Creation: Eddie can move in a circle to create a vortex powerful enough to flush buried debris.
- Wall Running: During his battle with Gunbots, he was able to move fast enough that he can run on walls.
Weaknesses[]
- Cynophobia: Due to his connection to cheetah DNA which has been semi-corrupted by Evokes, whenever he encounters a dog (since cheetahs are part of the feline lineage as cats and cats are afraid of dogs ), it freezes instantly.
Red Chasers[]
