In the not-so-distant future, with an increase of disasters & crime occurring in many parts of the world, the Global Bureau of Defense issues Rescue 9--a program that enables nine youths with experience to serve & protect as Power Rangers. This nine-man team is divided into three units: Fire Unit, which deals with fires; Nature Unit, which deals with natural disasters; & Urban Unit, which deals with search-&-rescue matters.
Sgt. Grayson Lewis - Cobie's father, a police officer.
Officer Hawkins - Pierce's police partner who was mortally wounded by Skelton.
Global Bureau of Defense[]
Commander Myers - Director of GBD.
Villains[]
In a departure from previous installments of Power Rangers, Rescue-9 foregoes any major villains, monsters, or an evil organization. Instead, the villains in this series are like those depicted in crime & police dramas such as crime lords, mad scientists, corrupt business owners, terrorists, lowly street thugs, wrongly accused fugitives, & even ordinary citizens who were victimized by crime. To make the criminals appropriate for a children's series, the crimes occasionally involve hi-tech laser weaponry, secret formulas, robots, & superpowers.
Major Criminals[]
Skelton Adams - Perhaps the main antagonist of the series, a street thug with bionic implants who has a vendetta towards Erwin.
Richard Butler - Perhaps the secondary antagonist of the series, a 62-yeart-old man who holds contempt towards Cobie.
