Snide was an ammonite-themed outlaw and the main antagonist of Power Rangers Dino Super Charge who took over Sledge's Crew after Sledge's supposed death.
History
Past
Snide holding the Dark Energem.
Millions of years ago, when Heckyl touched the Dark Energem, Snide was created as the other half of Heckyl by its dark powers. After he was born, he gave the Dark Energem to Lord Arcanon and later neither of them remembered this and they went on becoming outlaws and destroying galaxies. 
TV STORY-Wings of Danger
At some point in time, they were both captured and arrested by Sledge under orders from Arcanon. Due to his dangerous nature, he was placed into solitary confinement which is a completely sealed and black out cell.
Dino Charge
Tired of his repeated failures, Sledge releases Heckyl from solitary confinement to trick the Dino Charge Rangers into trusting him. Heckyl does not transform in Snide’s place while free and is re-captured and imprisoned when his plan fails. TV STORY-Wishing For a Hero
After Sledge's Ship crashes following an intense battle with the Rangers, Snide emerges from the ruins of a solitary confinement cell whilst declaring his time had come with a maniacal evil laugh. TV STORY-One More Energem
Dino Super Charge
Weeks after the crash, the solitary confinement cell Snide is held in is damaged and weakened enough so he can make his escape and he confronts the Vivix and Spikeballs, all of which still fiercely loyal to Sledge, until he and Heckyl impose their authority with the latter ordering the other outlaws to be freed and forcing them to submit to him after eliminating one who attempts to leave. While Heckyl is busy trying to infiltrate the Power Rangers' base, Snide enlists Iceage's aid to help him destroy his enemies in the more old-fashioned way but to no avail, as they trick the villains and destroy Iceage once again. TV STORY-When Evil Stirs
Snide is seen as Heckyl is forced to switch bodies with him in the kitchen of the Dino Bite Cafe. He takes his leave and heads for the ship where Snide then asks Wrench and the reanimated Stingrage what Heckyl is up to. They explain his plan is to have the Power Rangers drink it and become amnesiac but Snide knows better and concludes the heroes are not dumb enough to fall for it so he changes the plot. He is asked by the now bewildered Heckyl what he altered as Stingrage attacks Riley. He has a small discussion with Heckyl as to the plan's approach. He then shifts with Heckyl once more within the Power Rangers' base, chastising Heckyl for his ineptitude. He has Fury and Stingrage to increase the amount of intoxication in Amber Beach by having the venom dumped straight into the city's water reservoir. However, his scheme falters as the Rangers defeat the outlaw through a combination of the newly-acquired Dino Super Drive and the now adaptable Dino Armor X. He is then cited by Heckyl as his partner prematurely celebrates victory, but their triumph is short-lived as Curio accidentally pours the forgetfulness venom as the drinks and has everyone forget what they were about to do. TV STORY-Forgive and Forget
Heckyl is revealed to be Snide to the Rangers.
Snide appears as Heckyl is finally unmasked by the Power Rangers and, taking a defensive stance against them, he states they have been lucky this time but that he eventually will find out the location of their base, take their Energems, and then rip each and every one of them to shreds from head to toe. However, rather than fighting, Snide limits himself to taunt them at this faceoff as he realizes he is outmatched and outnumbered, and escapes through teleportation. TV STORY-Nightmare in Amber Beach
Snide, accompanied by by Fury and Wrench, confront a mysterious crash near thier base and meet Singe. Though initially intent on destroying him, he reasons that the upstart outlaw may be a valuable ally and chooses not only to spare him, but also to recruit him to his cause. It is also through Snide's first interaction with Singe that he is associated with Heckyl, who seems to be more fond and liking of Singe's style and attitude, as well as more patient and willing to listen to his ideas. Though Singe fails his first mission, he is given credit enough to be allowed to become a permanent member of the crew and a key player in the clash of good versus evil taking place on Earth. TV STORY-A Date with Danger
After Singe earns Heckyl's approval in enacting his next plan through Ninja, once again much to Fury's distaste, the plan carries through soundly. By nightfall, as the full moon illuminates the sky, Snide congratulates Singe on his success, but points out his plan is not yet finished and that his patience is in short supply. Singe states all he needs is help to track down and capture the rampaging Tyler, to which Hunter offers his aid. Snide makes it clear that, unlike Heckyl, although he tolerates Singe, he does not like him and he will know how much he is disliked if he fails him. The two outlaws team up, but Hunter retreats, leaving Ninja to fend for himself. Outmatched, Ninja is destroyed by the Rangers' T-Rex Super Charge Mode and Plesio Charge Megazord Pachy-Rex Formation. Hunter is close to being sentenced to death, but is spared in the nick of time by Singe who needs him as bait for his next plan. TV STORY-Roar of the Red Ranger
Fury is angered because Singe destroys the pod with the message containing the location of the Titano Zord, but Snide reveals that Singe tells him the location of the Zord. Snide sends Hookbeard to destroy the Zord but this plan fails. TV STORY-Gone Fishin
Snide Captured
Snide appears after Heckyl's defeat against Lord Arcanon, Singe and Doomwing where he beats them with Fortress, his Monster Megazord. Heckyl replaces Snide when the Rangers use their new Dino Charge Ultrazord but they are defeated and Fortress is destroyed. They are returned to jail by Arcanon who takes control of Sledge's Crew for his own purposes. TV STORY-Recipe for Disaster
Noticing that the Rangers have created Split Emmiter devices used for splitting Zenowing and Doomwing, Snide attempts to propose his loyalty to Arcanon in exchange to separate him from Heckyl with the Split Emitters, betraying him and not caring about their home planet Sentai 6 Arcanon destroyed. TV STORY-Freaky Fightday
Snide works with Sledge to destroy Lord Arcanon
In reality, he had been manipulating Arcanon as well besides betraying Heckyl, in order to gain Arcanon's trust while secretly helps Sledge's army to get the Dark Energem, after they find Sledge alive, then successfully destroys Arcanon and his army with the Dark Energem blaster and places Sledge to reclaim his original throne of the ship. TV STORY-Worgworld
Snide continues to team up with Sledge to destroy the Rangers. He gives to Sledge the Dark Energem to repair his ship before their master plan begin.

Snide’s death.
Unfortunately, Snide overhears Sledge say that he is no longer of use to him and decides to play along with Sledge's game until the time has come to get rid of him. During Sledge and Poisandra's wedding, at the same time the six Greenzillas that Sledge put in different locations are destroyed, Snide is sent to Earth to find the Rangers' location, but first steals the Dark Energem from Poisandra's ring without Sledge's crew knowing. Snide tracks the Rangers to the Dino Museum he and Heckyl visit but, after some momentary confusion, realizes that the Rangers' base is actually beneath the museum. Smashing his way in through its ceiling, he attacks both Kendall and Keeper but is thwarted by Heckyl and forced outside. Snide calls for the Magna Beam but Sledge refuses, claiming that he is meaningless in his backup plan and leaving Snide surrounded by Heckyl and the Rangers who offer him the chance to give up but he refuses. The Rangers combine thier Dino Morpher Blast Final Strike, Titano Charge Morpher Final Strike, Heckyl's lightning, and the Dino Charge Ultrazord's Titano Cannon Final Strike to finally kill Snide. The combined energy is powerful enough to disintegrate parts of Snide's face and chest before he falls onto his back and explodes. TV STORY-Edge of Extinction
Beast Morphers
A recently revived Snide along with Roxy and Blaze.
Four years later, after getting informed by Evox to go and collect Ryjack's collection of weapons, Robo-Blaze and Robo-Roxy arrive at his ship, recently finding out that it has been destroyed. Among the weapons the two found belonging to old foes, Robo-Roxy finds Snide's katana (which was previously thrown clear of his explosion) so she decides to re-animize him with the Reanimizer, realizing that he does not know where he is and does not know Robo-Blaze and Robo-Roxy as he is from a different dimension. After Snide is reanimized, they notice that Zoey has been knocked out after the destruction of Ryjack's ship, so Snide, Robo-Roxy and Robo-Blaze decide to hide before she wakes up. Whilst the Grid Battleforce Rangers and Dino Charge Rangers fight the Vivix as a distraction, in order to let Snide and his new friends to kidnap Keeper and bring him back to the Crystal Dimension for Evox's uses. Snide is saying that Keeper knows a lot of secrets about his Dino Charge Rangers, Scrozzle states that learning information about the past Rangers is excellent, so they would be able to learn how to defeat them, but Snide states that they will not be defeating them but allows them to be destroyed which makes Evox agreeing with Snide. After Keeper tells them all about the Dino Charge Rangers' secrets, Evox demands that he wants the Energems, so Scrozzle thought that Snide could take over this task, this made Snide able to lure a trap with Keeper involved in order to get the Energems for Evox. Snide, Scrozzle and Keeper go to a warehouse where the Rangers bring the weapons which Scrozzle leaves with. Snide double crosses them and was about to attack when the Grid Battleforce Rangers were forced to leave and fight a Gigadrone, leaving just the Dino Charge Rangers. However, Tyler is able to summon Shelby and Riley from their world and they take on Snide together. Although he initially had the upper hand, Tyler turns the tide by changing into T-Rex Super Charge Mode and unleashing a T-Rex Super Charge kick before Ivan weakens Snide with a lightning slash. Now weakened, the five main Rangers combine their powers and take out Snide with a Victory Final Strike. However, he survives and goes back into battle, being evenly matched up until Sledge, Poisandra, Curio, Fury and Wrench arrive after Scrozzle resurrects them. They go into battle and overwhelm the Dino Charge Rangers but are forced to retreat when the Grid Battleforce Rangers return and take them out with the Beast-X Blaster' Beast-X Blast and the Striker Morphers' Striker Beast Blast. TV STORY-Finders Keepers

Snide was among the villains who feature in Power Rangers Legacy Wars.
Personality
Unlike Heckyl in his evil state, Snide was not psychotic nor insane and lnew how to keep his cool while enforcing discipline, thus keeping his temper in check. Snide believed that the best way to get what is desired is to be straightforward. Even so, he proved to be a worthier leader than Heckyl as shown when he quickly evolved some of Heckyl's plans to something more challenging for the Rangers to counter. Snide shows his true colors in battle, but he knows when to retreat. He is also shown to be willing to strike deals if necessary, as he made an agreement with Lord Arcanon to permanently separate himself from Heckyl, something which was successful and made possible by Wrench's recently acquired Split-Emitters which were originally created and used by the Dino Charge Rangers in order to split apart Doomwing and Zenowing, and joining forces with Sledge to defeat Arcanon. However, upon learning that Sledge has no use for Snide anymore and attempted to get rid of him, Snide knew of this since his first meeting with the bounty hunter and must play along with Sledge's plan to enact his own plan. After getting reanimated by Robo-Roxy, Snide agreed to work for Evox even if that meant working alongside Sledge and his crew again. Despite his bitterness towards the Dino Charge Rangers for destroying him, he remained loyal to Evox up until the end.
