This generation of Power Rangers were originally two separate teams: the Wind Rangers and the Thunder Rangers. After initial hostilities, they banded together and were later joined by the Green Samurai Ranger. During the events of "Shattered Grid," when summoned by Zordon, the entire Ninja Storm team appears, including the Thunder Rangers and Cameron. This would indicate that Drakkon had yet to invade their universe prior to Zordon's summons.
Wind Rangers The Wind Rangers are the only Wind Ninja Academy students who were not kidnapped by Lothor, having been late on the day of the attack. They were given their morphers by
Sensei Kanoi Watanabe and his son
Cam after the attack on the school. The Wind Rangers possess several power independent of their ranger powers, including superhuman speed and agility.
Shane Clarke Shane Clarke (
Pua Magasiva) is the Red Wind Ranger. He is the leader of the Ninja Storm team. Shane is an excellent
skateboarder. Shane is trained in
air based fighting techniques. Shane commands the
Hawk Ninja Zord, and his specialized weapon is the Hawk Blaster. When he was young, Shane saved a Carminian woman named Skyla from the bounty hunter, Vexacus. In the two part episode, "Shane's Karma", Skyla returned and gave Shane the power of the Battlizer armor. Shane has an older brother, Porter (played by Pua Magasiva's actual brother,
Robbie Magasiva). After Lothor's defeat, Shane became an instructor at the Wind Ninja Academy. When Lothor comes back in
Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Shane temporarily becomes evil alongside his teammates. They battle the Dino Rangers, but are set free by their comrades. The Ninja and Dino Rangers then batte Lothor and Mesogog's combined forces, with him teaming up with Red Dino Ranger Conner. Afterwards, the Wind Rangers lose their Ranger powers again, though they would later regain them through unknown means in order to join the Ranger army in
Power Rangers Super Megaforce.
Tori Hanson Tori Hanson (
Sally Martin) is the Blue Wind Ranger. Tori is the only woman in the Ninja Storm team. She is notable for being the first female Blue Ranger in
Power Rangers history. Tori has an affinity for water,
surfing in her spare time. She studied
water based fighting techniques at the Wind Ninja Academy. As the Blue Ranger, Tori pilots the
Dolphin Zord, and her specialized weapon is the Sonic Fin. Tori is considered the most responsible in the Wind Rangers trio. When Lothor returns in
Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Tori temporarily becomes evil alongside her teammates. They are set free by Cam, Blake and Hunter. The Ninja and Dino Rangers then team up to battle Lothor and Mesogog's combined forces. Afterwards, the Wind Rangers lose their powers, leaving things to the next generation. Her powers apparently either remained intact or were later restored again, as she took part in the final battle with the Armada in
Power Rangers Super Megaforce.
Dustin Brooks Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks (
Glenn McMillan) is the Yellow Wind Ranger. He is the second male Yellow Ranger after
Tideus, the Yellow Alien Ranger. Dustin trained in
earth based fighting techniques. Dustin pilots the
Lion Ninja Zord and his specialized weapon is the Lion Hammer. Dustin is a
motocross rider and works at the bike store, Storm Chargers. He is somewhat naive and gullible, having been duped by Hunter and Blake, as well as Marah on multiple occasions. Alongside Shane and Tori, Dustin graduates from the Wind Academy and stays on as a teacher. Blake and Hunter return in 'Return of Thunder', now with the resolve to kill Lothor. Unfortunately, Blake and Hunter are brainwashed into joining Lothor once again, leading to several battles between the Wind and Thunder rangers. Eventually, the Wind Rangers are able to break them of Lothor's spell. Afterwards, Blake and Hunter decide to fight alongside the Wind Rangers to defeat Lothor. Their weapons are Thunder Staffs, which can also transform into the Tornado Star (a boomerang weapon), Thunder Shield (a hoop weapon), or can extend into long staffs, to attack their enemies.
Hunter Bradley Hunter Bradley is the Crimson Thunder Ranger played by
Adam Tuominen and voiced by Scott McShane in the
Power Rangers: Super Legends video game. He is the older brother of Blake Bradley, the Navy Thunder Ranger. Hunter pilots the Crimson Insectizord and his specialized weapon is the Crimson Blaster. After the Wind Academy was destroyed by Lothor, Cam took Shane, Tori, and Dustin to Ninja Ops. Under instruction from Sensei Watanabe, he (reluctantly) presented the three with Wind Morphers, allowing them to become the
Wind Rangers. It is noted that after the events of "Samurai's Journey," Lothor began to pick on Cam more than the other Rangers. This could be because Cam is his nephew and because Cam was indirectly responsible for Lothor's banishment. Lothor did know it was Cam, as he later recalled their "meeting in the past". Notably, Cam is the only Ninja Storm Ranger not to be turned evil, like the Thunder Rangers ("Return of Thunder") and later the Wind Rangers ("Thunder Storm"). When Lothor was finally defeated, Cam again became an advisor at the Wind Ninja Academy, helping the other Rangers in their instructor duties, and keeping a special watch over Lothor's nieces (his cousins), Marah and Kapri, who had reformed and enrolled at the academy. Within a year time, he got closer to the girls and shared a bonding moment. When Lothor escaped from the Abyss of Evil in
Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Cam later briefly regained his samurai powers and re-teamed with his fellow Ninja Rangers, as well as teaming up with the Dino Rangers, to battle the combined forces of Lothor and
Mesogog, in which he teamed up with White Dino Ranger Trent. After the battle, it was revealed that Cam's morpher was fully depleted resulting in the permanent loss of his Ranger powers. However, a means of restoring them-at least temporarily-was apparently found, as he joined the Ranger army in battling the Armada forces that invaded Earth. He would later join his teammates in the final battle with the Armada forces in
Power Rangers Super Megaforce. ==Allies==
