Doomwave was an umibozu/inflatable raft/wave/octopus-themed contestant on the second season of Galaxy Warriors and the main antagonist of the episode "Making Waves."
History[]
Doomwave is sent to plant the Tsunami Machine underwater to engulf all of Summer Cove in a tidal wave and wipe it out. However, Aaron Foster's drone breaks the machine using a net. Doomwave is first seen on the big screens of the Warrior Dome as he reports to Madame Odius that his machine has been broken. After Odius orders him to continue with his mission, Doomwave attempts to repair the machine with the help of a Basherbot army. Badonna also makes a brief appearance to provide a status report.
Meanwhile, the Ninja Steel Rangers, having discovered Doomwave's plan through the drone, arrive and morph to confront him and the Basherbots. While most Rangers battle the Basherbots, Brody takes on Doomwave and manages to overpower the monster. However, just as the Rangers are about to fire at him with their Ninja Blasters and Levi's Rockstorm Guitar Rockstorm Blast, Doomwave dodges the lasers, causing them to destroy the Basherbots instead. Seizing the opportunity, Doomwave escapes into the ocean with his machine, leaving no one to stop him.
Once Doomwave has repaired the Tsunami Machine, he returns to confront the Power Rangers again as they attempt to launch their drone into the water. Preston and Calvin work to get the drone launched, but Doomwave fires lightning from his eyes, knocking them down. Just before he can destroy them, Levi and Brody step in to fight back, giving Calvin and Preston the chance to place the drone in the water.
Doomwave recovers and knocks the remote out of Hayley's hand, triggering the tsunami to begin. He then summons an army of Basherbots to assist him in battle, prompting the male Rangers to engage them while Hayley and Sarah manage to retrieve the controller to operate the drone and capture the machine. After defeating the Basherbots, Brody and Levi combine their attacks—the Red Ninja Strike Final Attack and Tornado Slash Final Attack—to destroy Doomwave.
The monster is thrown into the ocean and laments his defeat before imploding, while Levi takes a selfie. With the threat neutralized, Hayley and Sarah pull the Tsunami Machine onto the shore and use their Ninja Blasters to obliterate it.
The end of Doomwave
Doomwave is then gigantified in the water by Cosmo Royale and he attacks the Rangers with his more powerful lightning vision. With him out at sea, the Megazords will not be able to attack but the Rangers acquire a new Zord Star by Mick that latches on to the drone (much to the Rangers' surprise) and transforms it into the Sub Surfer Zord. The newly-created Zord attacks Doomwave so the monster himself tries to fight back but he is no match. The Sub Surfer Zord then changes into its Ninja Zord Mode and overpowers Doomwave even more. The Rangers summon their Ninja Steel Zords and form the Ninja Steel Megazord before combining it with the Sub Surfer Zord to form the new Sub Surfer Ninja Megazord. Doomwave tries one last attempt to defeat it but is obliterated by the Riptide Slash Final Attack.
Personality[]
Doomwave's personality was similar to that of a scuba diver who loved the water and did anything to wipe out Summer Cove. He was also very protective of his Tsunami Machine as shown when he managed to knock the remote out of the White Ranger's hands and later tried to destroy them for obliterating it.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Lightning Vision: Doomwave was able to fire yellow colored lightning beams from his eyes strong enough to knock down Preston and Calvin with one blast.
- Mega Lightning Vision: As a giant, Doomwave could fire yellow lightning beams from his eyes as he could previously but they were larger and colored brighter.
- Super Jumps - Doomwave could jump at incredible distances.
- Teleportation: Doomwave was able to teleport to any location at will.
- Raft Mimicry: Doomwave could turn his lower body into a raft while using his blade as a paddle.
Abilities[]
- Skilled Inventor: Doomwave was skilled in making inventions since he created the Tsunami Machine.
- Skilled Repairer - Doomwave was also able to repair his badly damaged Tsunami Machine single-handedly and underwater.
- Reflexes: Doomwave has quick reflexes, enough to dodge the Rangers' Ninja Blasts and Rockstorm Blast.
- Basherbot Summoning: Doomwave could summon Basherbots to aid him in battle.
- Water Adaptation: Being themed after an octopus, Doomwave could traverse in the waters with ease.
Weaknesses[]
to be added
Arsenal[]
- Double-Bladed Baton: Doomwave carried a double-bladed baton for an aid in combat.
- Double-Sided Paddle: Doomwave could use his baton as a double-sided paddle when using his lower body as a raft.
- Tsunami Machine: Doomwave possessed a machine designed for creating giant tsunami and flooding Summer Cove should Madame Odius push the button.
- Exploding Dumbbells: Doomwave possessed a series of exploding dumbbells that he could throw like bombs at his enemies.
Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Doomwave was voiced by Adrian Smith, who gave him a similar voice to Redker (who he also voiced). The only difference between the performances was the post-production watery effect the producers added to his voice similar to the Aquitar Rangers.
Design[]
- Doomwave's design combined an octopus and a life raft.
- Via his counterpart, Doomwave was based upon the Umibōzu from Japanese mythology. Little is known of the origin of the umibōzu but it is a sea-spirit and as such has multiple sightings throughout Japan. Normally, the umibōzu appears to sailors on calm seas which quickly turn tumultuous. It either breaks the ship on emergence or demands a bucket or barrel from the sailors and proceeds to drown them. The only safe way to escape an umibōzu is to give it a bottomless barrel and sail away while it is confused.
Etymology[]
- His name was a combination of doom and wave.
Notes[]
- Doomwave's Sentai counterpart was created from a life raft which is why his legs transformed into one during the Zord fight.
