Ever since, Eric became bitter and resentful towards those like Wes and made few friends despite Wes' best efforts. After discovering Wes's secret identity, Eric acquires Time Force technology, becomes the red-colored Quantum Ranger, and eventually takes over leadership of the Silver Guardians.

Mutants

The Mutants are the failed byproducts of genetic experiments conducted in the 31st century who were shunned by society and became criminals.

After being pursued by the Time Force Rangers, the mutants are eventually re-imprisoned and returned to their time.

Ransik

Ransik is a cold and logical mutant crime lord who despises humanity due to mutant prejudice and possesses energy projection, skill in martial arts, and telekinesis. Following an encounter with a trio of Orgs, he acquired the ability to produce weapons from his body in exchange for turning them into "Mut-Orgs". Despite his power, an attack by a mutant called Venomark left Ransik dependent on a serum developed by Dr. Louis Ferricks, who he left for dead, to stabilize his mutant DNA.

After being arrested by Alex Drake, Ransik is broken out by his daughter Nadira and robotic underling Frax. He then goes on to grievously injure Alex, hijack a mutant prison, and escape with it to the year 2001. Despite being pursued by the Time Force Rangers, Ransik and his forces wreak havoc on the city of Silver Hills, during which he eventually learns the Bio-Lab company developed a variant of Ferricks' serum, which Ransik uses to permanently relieve himself of his instability. After running out of mutant prisoners, Ransik battles the Time Force Rangers personally until he inadvertently attacks Nadira, who had changed her views on humanity and convinces him to do the same. Motivated by her, Ransik willingly turns himself in and is returned to his time.

In the ''Power Rangers Wild Force'' two-part episode "Reinforcements from the Future", the Time Force Rangers free Ransik to help them and the Wild Force Rangers combat the Mut-Orgs. Amidst the battle, he purges the monsters and himself of their mutant DNA, turning them back into normal Orgs and rendering himself human.

After helping Trip deliver a pregnant woman's baby and playing with human children however, Nadira comes to question her and Ransik's hatred towards humanity. Following a discussion with Frax regarding hatred's cyclical nature, she eventually convinces Ransik to let go of his hate and turn himself in. As of the ''Power Rangers Wild Force'' two-part episode "Reinforcements from the Future", she has been sentenced to perform community service with Lucas Kendall's help.
