Character History

Ninja Steel

10 years ago, Galvanax and his generals, Ripcon and Madame Odius, arrived on Earth to claim the Ninja Nexus Prism. Upon tracking it to the home of ninja master Dane Romero, Galvanax attacked him causing the Ninja Nexus Star to change Dane into the red power ranger. Dane gave him a good fight, but after Ripcon took Dane's younger son Brody hostage, Galvanax took the opportunity to blast him and take the Star. As Galvanax was on the verge of acquiring the Star's power, Dane struck the star with his sword, causing a shock wave. As the dust settled, Dane had disappeared and the Ninja Nexus Prism was in his place with the pieces of the Nexus Star inside forming 6 Ninja Power Stars. Galvanax then angrily struck the Prism, but Madame Odius said it couldn't be broken. He then ordered the Prism to be taken to the ship and Brody put in chains. In the present, Galvanax used the contestants of his show Galaxy Warriors to try remove the Power Stars from the Prism. After the latest failure, a frustrated Galvanax was told by Madame Odius that rather than remove the stars, they could make new ones from the Ninja Steel that once covered the Prism.

Personality

An arrogant, sociopathic, abusive, cruel, aggressive, and violent narcissist, he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Though he is easily frustrated, he has shown some level of patience as he waited ten years for the Ninja Power Stars to be removed. He seems to value Madame Odius for her advices and ideas, which is ironically the result of his downfall. Galvanax does not tolerate failure and will often abuse his followers, including Ripcon, in spite of their dedication and commitment to him. He appears to have no respect for Cosmo Royale, despite him being his manager and the announcer, on account of that he tends to push him around and talks down to him but he seems somewhat changed about him in his final battle against the Rangers. He also seems to have a hateful disdain for children, let alone teenagers, to the point of even going as far as comparing them to infesting cockroaches that need to be exterminated. Because of being the champion who is out of practice, he worries about the risks of losing his fans and fame if he were to get knocked down once, thus would render him a loser in his mind, showing that he may have an inferiority complex. Due to this, he'd send out contestants than to do it himself all the while doing the scheming of his plans instead. He'd rather have a fair one on one duel instead of going against all of the rangers. He also comes off as a dishonest, treacherous, cunning, manipulative, and deceptive; when it comes to having Brody in his captivity: claiming himself to have spared, then gave him a "home" on his ship, before being "repayed" by having "his" Ninja Nexus Prism taken away from him, even going as far calling Brody a "traitor" and wanting a personal duel with him. However, he relies on brute strength and fighting skills more than he does intelligence and capability, which makes him victim to Madame Odius's deceitful nature.

Behind the Scenes

Notes

• Galvanax's design incorporates a shikami mask from Noh theater.
• Galvanax's hatred for children and teenagers are similar to that of Ivan Ooze, the main antagonist of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie.
  • Interestingly enough, this is also similar to Rita Repulsa's sentai counterpart, Witch Bandora's hatred for children as well.
• Galvanax's attempts to persuade the Red Ninja Steel Ranger is very similar to that of Koragg's connection to Nick Russell from Power Rangers Mystic Force.
  • As well as that, Galvanax's grudge against the Red Ranger is akin to Master Xandred's from Power Rangers Samurai and Super Samurai.
  • Galvanax's grudge is also very similar to Master Org's against his respective Red Ranger from Power Rangers Wild Force.
• Him having two generals, one loyal and one treacherous makes him also similar to Admiral Malkor.
• Galvanax's design is based on a Japanese war armor and an oni.
• Unlike his Super Sentai counterpart where he's spent most of the time as a disembodied spirit, Galvanax has a body, and actively directs his schemes.
• Galvanax's name was originally going to be Zircon, until it was changed to Galvanax.
• Galvanax is so far the only main villain from a main season who doesn't appear in a Super Season. While main villains from main seasons have returned in a super season after being apparently destroyed (Master Xandred, Vrak, and Sledge) Galvanax is completely destroyed at the end of Ninja Steel, leaving the secondary villain Madame Odius to take over his role.
