List of VR Troopers Characters - Recurring Characters

Recurring Characters

• Dr. Ulysses T. Poindexter (James Douglas): A nutty professor who has unknowingly proved to be a true asset to the Troopers. When he first appeared, he approached Kaitlin with a new revolutionary virtual engine research that he wanted her to write about. This research, with a little help from JB, gave birth to JB's VR Fighter Bike. He proved useful once again when the Trooper's Virtualizers were damaged. At that time, he learned their identities which put him in danger with Grimlord. Though Poindexter's memory was promptly erased, his assistance was still valuable when Kaitlin was injured by the Red Python. He then proved helpful in the series finale when Galileo the Robot was kidnapped, as he placed a homing device on the robot to help the Troopers rescue it.

• Mayor Abner Rooney (Randy Swerdlick): The mayor of Cross World City and Percy's uncle. Mayor Rooney is in a position of power, but has shown to be a rather inept spineless man. He has allowed himself to bossed around and threatened by Ziktor and also finds himself at the mercy of his wife who has more backbone than he does. Mayor Rooney's redeeming quality is that he supports the efforts of the VR Troopers.

• Mrs. Rooney (Sonja Ecker): The Mayor's wife and Percy's aunt. Percy apparently got his stuck-up attitude from her as she is quite a snooty woman. She'd rather be doing something else rather than go around town and support her husband's campaigns. Also when Jeb's not picking on Percy, he is instead pulling pranks on Mrs. Rooney.

• Strickland (Glen McDougal): A Skug that works for Ziktor Industries as an inventor. Skugs have taken on many human forms, but the most recurring form aside from Karl Ziktor's secretaries is Strickland. Strickland occasionally disturbs Karl Ziktor with a new invention to use against the Troopers. He has created such devices that turned the Troopers into children as well as turn JB into the Transmutant. Once, Ryan personally confronted Strickland when they both went into the past and met Young Ryan. Strickland quickly transformed into a Skug and along with a group of about 4 more Skugs, attacked the Ryans at the ancient temple (which is the one seen at the start and end of most episodes). He and the Skugs ended up defeated, but this was not the last of Strickland. In Season 2, Strickland devised a potion that could make anyone fall in love with each other. He would mix it into boxes of chocolates and anyone who ate one would be affected (the plan was for Grimlord to take over the world while everyone was distracted in love). Later, Strickland was able to turn dangerous convict "Nutty" Nichols into the Nutty Monster after springing him out of prison. Even later in season 2, all three Troopers confronted him while investigating a duplication laptop computer factory known as the Duplitron. Amazingly enough in the episode where he went after young Ryan, the VR visors showed Ziktor giving Strickland (known to be a Skug) information revealing Grimlord's identity, yet the Troopers would not figure out the connection for the entire two season span nor would anyone know that Ziktor and Grimlord were one and the same.
