Scorpio pre-Jark Matter

Scorpio was once a kind man who had a close relationship with his younger brother, Stinger. To help Stinger, Scorpio gave him a necklace for him to carry as a part of him that will always remain a part of him.

Years later, Scorpio betrayed his people to Jark Matter, scoffing at his devastated brother when the latter asked how he could desert their people. According to Eriedrone, Scorpio is now a top assassin for Jark Matter, his location known only to Don Armage.Tvicon TV STORY-Space.5: 9 Ultimate SaviorsTvicon TV STORY-Space.16: Stinger's Reunion with His Brother

After the fall of his planet, Scorpio allowed himself to be mutated by Don Armage, in exchange of his full loyalty to Jark Matter, but at cost of unable to transform back to his human form. One night, Scorpio murdered Doctor Anton, and both Stinger and Doctor Anton's creation, Champ arrived after when Scorpio left the scene. Tvicon TV STORY-Space.13: Stinger's Challenge To His Brother!

Before the defeat of Ikargen, Don Armage announced Scorpio's arrival on Earth, and Ikargen sends Mardakko to greet him. Scorpio looks forward to fighting the Kyurangers, especially when his younger brother is a member of them. Tvicon TV STORY-Space.12: 11 Ultimate All-Stars

While Scorpio watched several humans pleading with the Daikaan Mondomuyoindaver, Scorpio uses his tail to turn every human, including the Daikaan, Indaver and Tsuyoindaver into zombies, in order to lure the Kyurangers and observe how strong Stinger has become now before they encounter each other for their death battle.

Informed by Don Armage that a fleet of Moraimarz would be sent to hasten the process of draining Earth of its Planetium, Scorpio was entrusted by the Shogun to eliminate the Kyurangers; Scorpio realized that the Shogun was in a hurry, affirming rumor of a secret concerning the Earth. Following this, Scorpio was approached by Mardakko, who offered her services to him in order to avenge Ikargen. Scorpio accepted her on the condition that she tell him everything she knew about the Kyurangers. Ultimately, Scorpio was be confronted by the return of his younger brother, who had tracked him to his Big Moraimarz alongside Champ. Tvicon TV STORY-Space.15: Savior of the Water Planet Vela

Personality

Scorpio was originally a caring man and older brother. However, as a result of obsession with power, according to Stinger, he became cruel and selfish, massacring his people without any sign of remorse. He is also a sadist, taking pleasure for betraying his own brother. Scorpio's fallen was likely because he saw one of his tribesman bullied Stinger, and eventually beating those who bullied his brother mercilessly, much to Stinger's horror, and Scorpio's reason to torture Stinger is meant to turn Stinger into a ruthless warrior as Scorpio himself nowadays.

Even though he is Don Armage's right-hand man, Scorpio is also planning to usurp him, which he explains to his brother the reason he joined Jark Matter; so he can kill Don Armage and take his position as shogun, and by extension, rule the entire universe.

After being defeated by Stinger, who is encouraged by Kyuranger, Scorpio began to atone his villainous actions and make his noble sacrifice on saving his brother and Kyurangers from Armage's death ball.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Notes

  • Yuki Kubota's role as Scorpio is reminiscent of his role as Takatora Kureshima from Kamen Rider Gaim, as both roles involve a brother betraying the other and joining the enemy. This role takes the antithesis. He plays the older brother who betrays the younger, as opposed to his role from Gaim where the little brotherIcon-crosswiki betrayed the older.
    • Scorpio also happens to haves an attack that looks similar to multiple Rider KicksIcon-crosswiki.
    • Scorpio's aspiration of usurping the main antagonist also brings to mind RedyueIcon-crosswiki from the aforementioned series where his actor portrays Takatora, as well as AdelIcon-crosswiki of Kamen Rider GhostIcon-crosswiki.
  • Scorpio's backstory is similar to Itachi Uchiha's from the Naruto series, as both Scorpio/Itachi had killed off their entire clan while leaving their younger brother Stinger/Sasuke alive, to go undercover into enemy ranks, while at the same time explaining to their younger brother why they betrayed them. A huge difference between Scorpio and Itachi is that Scorpio seems to enjoy betraying his brother and does not show any signs of remorse while doing so.
    • This also derives to a similarity with Sasuke Uchiha has well, where Stinger betrays his team to achieve his goal of defeating his older brother.
  • Scorpio's relation to Stinger is similar to that of the Marvel villain of the same name, the original of whom was the younger brother of Marvel super-spy Nick Fury turned supervillain.
  • Scorpio's name and Stinger's constellation are actually related as the zodiac Scorpio has something to do with the constellation Scorpius.
  • Scorpio's backstory pays homage to other general characters,such as Doctor Mazenda, Doctor Obular, and Doctor Kemp from Choujuu Sentai Liveman, Basco ta Jolokia from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger as close friends of one of the heroes before betraying them to the villains.
  • He also plays homage to villains such as Dr. Hinelar from Denji Sentai Megaranger and Enter from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. As these type of characters same the same motive about taking over their organization and become their new leader.
  • Scorpio's head has a slight similarity to the Predators of the film series of the same name.
  • Scorpio's backstory appears to invoke the backstory of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader from the Star Wars franchise as they both started out caring for their own family (Padme Amidala for Anakin, Stinger for Scorpio) before falling to the dark side and becomes evil, though under different circumstances. They also attempted to usurp their masters (Palpatine and Don Armage), and in their final battle, returns to good side and died protecting their family members from their master.
