- ―Ninja Steel Yellow's roll call[src]
Calvin "Cal" Maxwell is Ninja Steel Yellow, the Yellow Ranger of the Ninja Rangers.
Character History
At a young age as mentioned in Drive to Survive, Calvin once drove his go-cart on a track when he lost control and swam out of a duck pond. Since the accident, he's had a fear of driving. However, Calvin got over his fear of driving when he saves the team at the end of the episode.
Calvin was first seen when he fixed his truck, when he saw Sarah riding on her hoverboard causing him to move his head down as she jumps. Return of the Prism
Personality
Calvin is a cool and confident gear-head who loves building anything mechanical - especially vehicles. He’s also rather lackadaisical, at times too much for his own good! Calvin is the boyfriend of Hayley Foster, who is Ninja Steel White.

- Calvin is the second Ranger other than Brody to perform the Megazord Finisher. The first being Levi.
- Calvin is the first Ranger to use the Ninja Super Steel Blaster, followed by Brody and Levi.
- He shares quirks with Ranger veteran, Tommy Oliver as he is in a relationship with a fellow Ranger, as well as adaptable and sometimes forgetful.
- In one version of the script, he was going to break up with Hayley and end up with Sarah, but Nico and Zoe fought to change this.[Citation needed]
- Calvin is the only Ninja Steel Ranger not to have any known family members or relatives.
