Character History

Early life

Orion was a miner on his home planet Andresia. He lived with his family at a village. One day during a mining session, he came across a hard crystal case which contained a box and the Silver Ranger Key. That was when Orion received visions of the Sixth Rangers. Knowing they were trying to tell him something, he still hesitated to use the equipment.

A week later, the Armada attacked, scattering the people of Andresia. An Armada ship then attacks a village, which was actually Orion's village. Fearing for his family's safety, Orion runs home, only to find his village destroyed. Wanting revenge, he succeeds in morphing into the Silver Ranger.

Orion stayed homeless for months, using that time to train and survive the invasion of the Armada. At this time, only a couple of Armada Ships guarded Andresia. Orion uses this chance to slingshot a ship, making it crash and wounding the pilot, who was then picked up, leaving the ship behind. It took Orion a long time to fix the Armada ship. Once he did, he headed out for outer space, and crash lands on Earth. Silver Lining

On Earth

Since his arrival on Earth, he has been mysteriously taking out all the XBorg platoons that have been attacking the Warehouse District and Downtown. When it comes to the attack on the center of the city led by Gorgax, Orion shows up to help fight the XBorgs.

To survive in his new home planet, Earth, Orion works part-time at Ernie's. Gia got a first sight of him when they both accidentally bump into each other.

Orion later watches the Megaforce Rangers fight Gorgax with them being unaware that Levira has placed a bomb in his forcefield collar. Orion, in his Silver Ranger form, interferes before they can set off the bomb.

Super Megaforce Silver

Legendary Ranger Devices

The Super Megaforce Silver Ranger Key is Orion's personal Ranger Key which allows him to morph into Super Megaforce Silver. As with the other Super Megaforce Ranger Keys, this key is commonly used in the Super Mega Rangers' Ranger Key-compatible arsenal and zords for different functions and attacks. Unlike the other keys, it was thought to have been destroyed.

The key that Orion uses to turn into Super Megaforce Gold is a "fused" key that utilizes "The Power of Six", which is the power of all the Sixth Rangers. It transforms his helmet and spear, and the key itself becomes his armor.



Super Megaforce Silver is one of the Rangers that represent the Super Mega Rangers for the Super Megaforce Dino Charger, released as part of a special set of Dino Charger Power Packs. In Super Megaforce's case, it featured Super Megaforce Red, Super Megaforce Silver, the Legendary Megazord, and the Super Megaforce title. This Charger was paired with the MMAR Dino Charger.

The Super Megaforce Silver Ninja Power Star is a special Ninja Power Star that bears the likeness of the Super Megaforce Silver Ranger and is marked with the kanji for "silver". This will be a part of the upcoming Super Ninja Steel toyline and it's currently unknown if it will have a in-show appearance.



Portrayal

Orion is played by Cameron Jebo, who initially auditioned for the role of Troy [1]. However, on May 2013, it was confirmed by RangerCrew that Jebo was cast in the role of Orion.

As Super Megaforce Silver, he was portrayed by suit actor Daisuke Satō (佐藤 太輔, Satō Daisuke) in footage from Gokaiger.

Production

Portions of the scripts (casting sides) for the role of Megaforce Silver indicated his name was to be Zador. [2]

Notes

Orion's name is a reference to the Lights of Orion from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

Orion is named after the Greek mythological hunter who hailed from Boeotia.

Orion is tied with Karone for having the shortest tenure as a Ranger, only lasting 14 episodes (not including extra Rangers.)

Orion's loner personality contrasts to his Sentai counterpart, Gai Ikari who is a happy go lucky team player.

Orion being the only alien on a team of humans contrasts with Gai Ikari, being the only human on a team of aliens

Orion's color and backstory bear more than a striking resemblance to Rick, seen in the Tatooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills episode "The Universal Hitchhiker". Both wear Silver when transformed. Both come from planets that were destroyed by the team's primary enemy. Both are named Orion (Rick's Sentinel name is Orion).
