Changes: Prince Vekar

Revision as of 16:53, 5 July 2014

This article is about a villain in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

"People of Planet Earth, I am Prince Vekar. Consider this your eviction notice. Luckily, I'm feeling generous. So, I will give you two options: surrender or be destroyed?"

―Vekar's speech as he addresses Earth

Prince Vekar is the leader of the Armada fleet that attacked Earth and is first in line to the throne of his royal family. He is the eldest son of Emperor Mavro, the older brother of Vrak and one of the main villains in Super Megaforce. ^[1]

Character History

He sends the Messenger to Earth to inform Vrak that the Armada was approaching the planet and to confirm if the resisting forces, particularly the Rangers, have been defeated. TV STORY-The Messenger (episode)

While Levira mulled over not having a device to track down Vrak, Prince Vekar brushed off his death and went straight to the invasion. He sent his first commander to Earth, alongside thousands of XBorgs, telling his crew that this is to avenge his brother's supposed death.

"So a Power Ranger did this to my soldier? The humans can fight back! Well, I don't like that!"

―Vekar's reaction to Headridge's death while conversing with Damaras

After his first commander, Headridge, was destroyed by the Rangers, he realized that Earth can fight back and immediately sent down another commander, Tentacus, who was also destroyed. TV STORY-Super Megaforce (episode)

On his second attempt, Vekar had missiles positioned to target all major cities of the world at once. However, he had the misfortune of having the missiles set to launch after two full hours, a fact he immediately regretted when he realized that it was more than enough time for the Rangers to defeat Cybax, his commander in charge of the operation. TV STORY-Earth Fights Back He then finds that Argus and Levira had cooked up a plan to attempt to hijack the Mega Rangers quest and was angered that he had not been consulted first. He diverts the general in charge of the plan, General Peluso to continue an outright attempt at terrorizing the Earth, only once again to fail. TV STORY-A Lion's Alliance

Sometime later, Argus, some XBorgs, and a member of the Elite Guard tag along with Vekar so he can introduce himself to the world, but the rangers arrive, only to anger him. After being hit by Noah's Mega Blaster, he is teleported back to the ship, thanks to Levira's interference. TV STORY-Samurai Surprise

With all of his efforts thwarted, Vekar allows Pacha Chamak, who claims to be able to take down the Rangers, to actually attempt to target them directly. He is, of course, unsurprised, but fuming mad that his commander, a volunteer, did not succeed. TV STORY-Spirit of the Tiger

Some time after, Vekar added Gorgax to a platoon of XBorgs and sent them down in another assault on Earth. although the XBorgs were destroyed, Gorgax was able to escape, though was later criticized by Vekar for his cowardice. Vekar then had Levira "upgrade" his collar by attaching a bomb to it, and sent him down to fight the rangers again. This plan also failed due to the appearance of the Silver Ranger. TV STORY-Silver Lining, Part 1 Prince Vekar had since fallen into deep depression due to the fact that none of his plans were able to beat the rangers. Damaras noted that they may be better without him. TV STORY-Silver Lining, Part 2

Personality

Though intelligent and scheming like his brother Vrak, Vekar is much more impulsive and quick to wrath, quickly dropping his cool in fits of rage when things don't go exactly how he planned as well as blaming and hitting his servants in frustration, similar to Lord Zedd's mistreatment of Goldar and, at first, his wife Rita. Like most supervillains, due to his grandiose attitude, he is prone to mistakes, such as when he orders a missile attack to launch at nightfall, giving the Rangers enough time to stop him, after which he blamed Damaras for the failure, as they did not stop him from his 'one' imperfect plan. TV STORY-Earth Fights Back As a prince, he believes no one knows better than him, and will often ignore the advice of his subjects. He is also very vain, not liking to battle, for fear of his face being damaged or being physically harmed. These features are a sharp contrast to his self-controlled, respectful and well-mannered predecessor, Malkor. Like his brother Vrak, he is obsessed with proving himself to his father, Mavro. This also hints that the two brothers have a sibling rivalry. He also hates when Damaras (Super Megaforce) is taller than him.

Notes

In the ending credits, Prince Vekar is simply credited as "Prince".
Prince Vekar's voice in Episode 1 of Super Megaforce is different from his voice in later episodes.

Portrayal

Stephen Butterworth's character portrayal in the first episode of Super Megaforce was originally a calm, collected, and capable villain. In the subsequent episodes, he has become an impulsive, griping, rage fueled, slightly incompetent, vain villain, making him more like his Gokaiger counterpart Warz Gill.
