==Biography==
Strikning was summoned by [[Diabolico]] to destroy the city with his Light Strike abilities. In the first battle with rangers he attacked [[Mariner Bay]] with army of [[Batlings]] and easily defeated the [[Lightspeed Rangers]], but he gets ambushed by the New [[Cyborg Rangers]] and was forced to retreat, which Lightspeed Headquarters responded to by creating the Cyborg Rangers. Later he returned and battled with the Cyborg Rangers an managed to scramble their circuits, causing them to go haywire and attacking the people, which meant that the Lightspeed Rangers needed to be called upon to destroy both the Cyborg Rangers. Later Strikning appeared again and fought with rangers again but was destroyed by [[Rescue Bird|Rescue Bird.]] But he was revived and enlarged by [[Jinxer]] and the [[Lightspeed Megazord]] was summoned, Strikning hit The Lightspeed Megazord with the spikes and the Rangers quickly grabbed the monster with the ladder arms and lifted him off the ground, which conducted the lightning attack through them and right back at the monster, they finally destroyed him with the Lightspeed Megazord Saber. {{Storylink|Cyborg Rangers (episode)|Cyborg Rangers}}
