The Magna Defender is a fictional character from the Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy TV series. He is a warrior who has been alive for many years, and is the sworn enemy of Scorpius.

Later in the series, the Magna Defender passed his powers on to Mike Corbett. Throughout the rest of the series, Mike was known as the Magna Defender when he used the powers.

[edit] History

During a battle, Magna's son Zika was killed by Scorpius, and the Magna Defender swore revenge. However, before he could do so, he was sealed in a pit on Mirinoi by his nemesis Treacheron.

Years later, Red Galaxy Ranger Leo's brother Mike fell into the same pit. The Magna Defender fused with him, escaping the pit and setting out after Scorpius and the legendary Lights of Orion. Using his Torozord, he fought several battles against his enemy. Despite common foes, the Defender did not get along with the Power Rangers. Later, while attempting to destroy Scorpius, Defender was wounded and revealed to Leo that he was merged with Mike. Seeking to undo the damage he caused to Terra Venture in his attempt to finish off Scorpius, Magna threw himself into the energy pit he had created, destroying it. In the process, Mike was released.

Magna's spirit later appeared to Mike when the Rangers were in peril, giving him the Magna Blaster in Sword mode, the source of the Magna Defender powers. Much like with the Quasar Sabers, a two-part morpher also appeared on Mike's arms, allowing him to become the new Magna Defender. Using the Magna Blaster and Torozord, Mike did battle with many foes of the Rangers. Later, Mike sacrificed Torozord and his powers to free Terra Venture from the Lost Galaxy. Then the original Magna Defender's spirit appeared to Mike again, this time to congratulate him on how heroically he had used the powers and tell him that he had fulfilled the Magna Defender's destiny. Prior to Mike's sacrifice of the powers, Magna Defender's spirit appeared to him and motivated him to perform the action.
