Rocky DeSantos (movie)


 * For the original TV version of this character, see Rocky DeSantos.

Rocky de Santos is the Red Ranger of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, an armored warrior. Rocky had the power of the Tyrannosaurus channeled through his Power Morpher and Power Coins.

When the Command Center was destroyed, Rocky, along with the rest of the Rangers were forced to teleport to Phaedos in order to retrieve the Great Power with the last remaining power of the Command Center, to the dying Zordon's protests.

Once there, he and the other rangers meet Dulcea, who once learning of their mentor Zordon's plight, helps them tap into the power of the Ninjetti, where Rocky learned that in him is an animal spirit waiting to be released. As Ninjetti, he and the rangers travel to the Monolith in order to retrieve the Great Power. Though waylaid by the Gatekeepers, Rocky and the others manage to access the Monolith, which also bore the Ape symbol among its many creature emblems. It is here where Rocky gained the power of the Ape Ninjazord. The zords return the rangers' powers and Rocky finds himself clad in his ranger armor with the Ape's symbol emblazoned on his chest.

He returned to Angel Grove with the other Rangers to battle Ivan Ooze and emerged victorious. With his Ninjetti power, he, along with the other rangers managed to revive the dying Zordon, reconstitute his energy tube and return the Command Center to a fully-functioning state.
