Main characters

B-Squad

The B-Squad are a group of Power Ranger cadets who work for Space Patrol Delta (S.P.D.) and were originally meant to serve as back-up for S.P.D.'s A-Squad. After the latter group disappear, the B-Squad are promoted to Ranger status and tasked with protecting the fictional New Tech City and Earth from the Troobian Empire.[3] Moreover, due to their parents' work in founding S.P.D., the team developed superpowers.

Jack Landors

Jack Landors is the S.P.D. Red Ranger and the leader of B-Squad who possesses intangibility and was originally a homeless street thief with his best friend Z before volunteering to join S.P.D.[4] [5] Initially taking his new position lightly, he gradually becomes a capable and effective leader despite his tendency to bend the rules and challenge his superiors. Additionally, he develops an uneasy yet respectful understanding with his teammate Sky Tate. After defeating the Troobian Empire, Jack leaves S.P.D. to conduct volunteer work with a civilian named Ally.[6] [7] [8]

While transformed, he wields two Delta Blasters and possesses a Battlizer.[9]

However, his pride and lack of faith in his teammates lead to him becoming the Blue Ranger. Throughout the series, he clashes with Jack, who was named the Red Ranger over him, avenges his father by apprehending the criminal who killed him,[10] and learns to become a proper leader.[11] [12] In time, Jack retires from S.P.D., leading to Sky taking his place as B-Squad's Red Ranger.

Sky Tate is portrayed by Chris Violette.[13]

Bridge Carson

As the series progresses, he gradually becomes more confident and goes on to be promoted to Blue Ranger.

While untransformed, he possesses a form of psychometry and the ability to read auras and energy signatures, which later allows him to read thoughts. Due to him lacking control over this ability, he wears gloves.

Bridge Carson is portrayed by Matt Austin.

Z Delgado is portrayed by Monica May.
