Eric Myers

Eric Myers is a fictional character in the Power Rangers universe, appearing in the television series Power Rangers: Time Force.

Eric is first seen as a ground unit in the newly-formed "Silver Guardians", a law-enforcement organisation for private citizens, owned by Mr Collins, a millionaire industrialist. He is portrayed as a stern individual with a no-nonsense attitude, which Mr Collins may well have been pleased about, considering that it was the sort of attitude he had wanted for his own son, Wesley Collins.

It is soon revealed that Eric is an old acquaintance of Wesley's, and they attended private school together. Whereas Wesley came from a wealthy background, however, Eric was forced to work diligently to maintain his hard-earned position. Eric had few friends, possibly because of his background and possibly because of his scornful demeanor, and although Wesley Collins repeatedly tried to befriend him, Eric never returned the favor.

When it is revealed that Wesley Collins has become the new Red Ranger, Eric believes it is yet another circumstance in which fortune has played into Wes' hands. He seizes the opportunity to get Ranger powers of his own, despite all protests by the current Rangers that they are dangerous, and becomes the Quantum Ranger. Eric is open about possessing these powers with his employer, and is soon promoted to the head of the Silver Guardians.

In a trip to prehistoric times, Eric also recovers the long-lost Quantasaurus Rex zord, which he uses in the fight against Ransik. Unlike most other zords, the Q-Rex is controlled by voice rather than piloted directly. On at least one occasion, a mutant was able to imitate Eric's voice and take control of the powerful machine.

Though Eric is fighting on the side of good, he remains separate from the other Rangers. He is one of the first antihero characters to appear in a Power Rangers series (later ones include Merrick Baliton of Power Rangers: Wild Force).

Eventually, Eric warms up to the idea of working with others and while wounded gives up his powers to Wesley, having finally made peace with the fact that Wesley does not consider himself superior because of his background.

At the end of Power Rangers: Time Force, Eric and Wesley become joint commanders of the Silver Guardians, which will protect all citizens and not just those that can afford it. They both continue to use their powers for good.

Eric makes later appearances alongside Wes and the other Time Force Rangers in Power Rangers: Wild Force, first in an attempt to track down three renegade Mut-Orgs from the future (during which he flirts with the current Yellow Ranger, Taylor Earhardt), and then in the episode Forever Red, in which ten generations of Red Rangers teamed up against the Machine Empire. On both occasions, Eric makes it clear that his Q-Rex is the most impressive zord in use, as it probably is.
