Villains in Power Rangers Time Force - Frax

Frax (voiced by Eddie Frierson) is a robot in the service of Ransik, responsible for constructing the army of robot minions that Ransik sends against the Time Force Power Rangers. A robot himself, he dislikes Ransik's belief that robots are inferior, as well as the mutant's habits of destroying his creations when he is angry. This rage goes unnoticed by Ransik for much of the series. Frax's arsenal consists of a claw arm that transforms into a hand-like missile launcher.

It is later revealed that Frax is actually all that is left of Dr. Louis Fericks (portrayed by Jeff Griggs), the scientist from the future attempts to heal Ransik of his poisoning by Venomark, a mutant criminal who is later captured and placed in the X-Vault. He also provides the serum that Ransik must consume regularly to combat the poison. Ransik destroys his lab, steals the serum supplies, and leaves him for dead in return. Dr. Fericks only survived by rebuilding himself into a robot. Frax harbors deep resentment against Ransik for this.

Later in the series, Frax ends up discovering the key to the X-Vault (where the worst prisoners are contained) after being scolded for sending his robotic creation Tronicon to destroy the Ranger. He releases many of them without Ransik's approval, including Venomark (an action that particularly angers Ransik due to their past history). As a form of revenge, he destroys all of his serum, reveals his true identity to Ransik, and runs away from Ransik and the Cyclobots on Ransik's side. He begins constructing massive robots that run on powerful Trizirium crystals from Mr. Collins' lab.

In the finale, Frax is caught by Ransik with the aid of Gluto (who found Frax's hideout) while working on his giant robot Doomtron. Nadira, Ransik's daughter, comes to him after she begins to doubt her father's mission. Frax explains that the hatred and prejudice between humans and mutants is a vicious cycle and he urges her to break it before being taken away and having his memory erased. He is then reprogrammed to obey only Ransik and to use his robot Doomtron to destroy his enemies. Wes is able to return and destroy Doomtron which results in the destruction of Frax as well.
