Andros is a fictional character and hero in the Power Rangers universe, appearing in the television series Power Rangers in Space. He was portrayed by Christopher Khayman Lee.
[edit] History
Andros is from the planet KO-35, and possesses telekinesis. He has long been the Red Space Ranger.
When the Turbo Rangers left the Earth after the Power Chamber had been destroyed, Andros found them and (after some convincing) gave them the other four Astro Morphers. Andros became the leader of the team.
During the series, Andros developed a relationship with fellow Ranger Ashley Hammond. He also discovered that his sister Karone, who had been kidnapped by Darkonda on KO-35 as a child, and had become the evil princess Astronema. He managed to convince her to change her allegiance, but she was captured again and brainwashed.
In the finale episode, Countdown to Destruction, Andros boarded Astronema's Dark Fortress and discovered Zordon, who had been missing since the beginning of the series. At Zordon's insistence, and much hesitation, Andros shattered Zordon's energy tube, which released a wave of energy that destroyed the army attacking the universe. This act also freed Astronema of her brainwashing, and he was reunited with his sister again.
Andros later returned in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy, in which he and the other Space Rangers teamed up with the Lost Galaxy Rangers to defeat the Psycho Rangers. He also appeared in Power Rangers: Wild Force in the episode Forever Red, and teamed up with nine other Red Rangers to destroy the remains of the Machine Empire.
[edit] Trivia
- Andros is the first Red Ranger to have a Battlizer.
- Andros and Karone are the first siblings to both be Power Rangers, although they would not technically serve on the same team (Karone was designated an honorary Power Ranger by Andros's teammates, but only became a full ranger capable of morphing and piloting a Zord when she was chosen to replace Kendrix Morgan.) Subsequent siblings Leo and Mike Corbett, Dana and Ryan Mitchell, Hunter and Blake Bradley and Madison and Vida Rocca would serve on together.
- Andros is the first Ranger to be related to a villain--Astronema is his sister. This wouldn't be repeated until Power Rangers Ninja Storm, where Cam Watanabe is Lothor's nephew, and again in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, where Trent Fernandez-Mercer is the (adopted) son of Anton Mercer, Mesogog's alter ego. Dana Mitchell (Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue) and Nick Russell (Power Rangers: Mystic Force) are each related (younger sister and son, respectively) to evil rangers who turn to the side of good.
- A Power Rangers: SPD flashback features Doggie Cruger wielding a weapon that was originally believed to be Andros's Spiral Saber, as well as wearing a disguise similar to his trademark red cloak (seen in "From Out of Nowhere," "Flashes of Darkonda," "To the Tenth Power" and "Forever Red"). However, it was confirmed by Koichi Sakamoto through Bruce Kalish that this was not the case.
