History[]
The Professor's homeworld was destroyed by Heckyl a long time ago.
Later, he was seen among the cells of Sledge's Ship. TV STORY-Powers From the Past TV STORY-A Fool's Hour TV STORY-Wishing for a Hero
Professor Strickler is later seen serving Heckyl, after the ship's crash, while also recapping about what Heckyl did to his planet, and possibly considered leaving him, but decided not to after what happened to the Cloaked Alien when he decided to leave.
Professor Strickler's first major appearance is in the episode "Freaky Fightday" where he is summoned by Snide to capture the Rangers' Energems, he presenting Lord Arcanon with a body switching device, Singe mocks the monster, but Strickler shows him what is does by switching his body with a Vivix, impressed by the ability, he send him to Earth and even tells him to reanimate two monsters to aid him, so Wrench reanimates Nightmare and Game Face and send the three monsters to Earth.
Strickler and Game Face argue of who goes first until the Red, Pink, Black and Blue Rangers came in, Nightmare used the Switch Eraser to switch the Red and Pink Rangers' bodies and later does the same thing with the Black and Blue Rangers, after the Rangers get shock of getting each of their body's switch, the three monsters ambushed them, the Rangers try to fight back, but because their in new bodies, they get different weapons, resulting them get a beat down, the Green and Gold Rangers came in, but Nightmare was able to switch their bodies as well, however, the two Rangers were able to used their weapons just fine and takes out the three monsters.
Now over powered, Professor Strickler and the two monsters teleported away, the later returned in the mountain tops with the Rangers appearing, the Rangers montage, but it was a trick for Nightmare sneak up on the Rangers and switch the Green and Blue Rangers' bodies, and the Red and Gold Rangers' bodies, the three monsters were about to ambush them again, but the Rangers the Dino Steel to battle the monsters and gave each of the Rangers back their personal weapon to take on the monsters, but the Rangers were still out match, but right before they could finish them off however, the Silver Ranger came into battle, but Nightmare manages to switch the Silver Ranger and Professor Strickler with the Switch Eraser, after a long duel the Pink Ranger (in the Gold Ranger's body) manages to make Nightmare drop the Switch Eraser, allowing the Red Ranger (in the Pink Ranger's body) to use the T-Rex Smash on the device, switching the bodys back to the right person, with the Titano Saber Final Strike, Strickler was taken out, but he (along with Nightmare and Game Face) was enlarge by the Magna Beam.
The Rangers summons the Dino Charge Zords and formed the Dino Charge Ultrazord, and with the Titano Cannon Final Strike, Professor Strickler (along with Nightmare and Game Face) is destroyed one and for all. TV STORY-Freaky Fightday
Personality[]
Personality-wise, Professor Strickler acts very much like a school teacher, he is incredibly smart but he will stop at nothing to destroy the Power Rangers. He was shown to care about his students and was proud of them, however he seems to have favoured Nightmare a bit over Game Face.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Professor Strickler is voiced by Emmett Skilton.
Design[]
- Professor Strickler had the face of a chalk board wearing a student graduate hat with triangle rulers on his right side, the stomach of books, the legs of a desk, the left arm of a pencil in a sharpener with shreds, a bag on his left side, and the feet of pencils.
Etymology[]
- His name comes from a mix of two words "strict" and "stickler", both of which describe his personality.
Notes[]
- Like Nightmare and Game Face, Professor Strickler originally appeared in another episode of Kyoryuger before the episode adapted into “Freaky Frightday.” He was originally killed by Ivan’s Lightning Final Strike.
- Said episode was never adapted into Power Rangers because it prominently featured the Japanese Ranger base (which was a cave system and not a museum) and the unmorphed Kyoryugers.
- Originally, Strickler's name was "Teacher", on the profile for his toy before his actual name was used.
- Professor Strickler was the fifth monster outlaw in the Power Rangers Dino Super Charge series to lack any projectile/firepower-type attack, the first being Puzzler, the second being Nightmare, the third being Spell Digger, and the fourth being Scumlaw.
- This is actually very odd as Professor Strickler has a Gatling-gun on his left arm but he was never seen using it in the episode.
- His original scheme was given to Smokescreen, in the US dub, during Dino Charge.
- During Dino Charge, this monster can be seen among the cells on Sledge's Ship.
- Professor Strickler's voice was inspired by Emmett Skilton's grandmother's voice.
