Biography
Katherine Manx was a female human cat-like alien who came to Earth where she served as a technical expert for the planet's S.P.D. As chief technologist in S.P.D., she was responsible for the invention of all of Earth's S.P.D. technology, from the Judgment Scanner to the Delta Command Megazord. During all S.P.D. missions, she can be found in the Command Center running ops and providing scientific assistance to the Rangers. Kat was part of the early days of Earth's SPD branch, when it was a top secret organisation in 2001. She was one of several scientists, along with the B-Squad's parents, who worked with highly energized chemicals that led to the B-Squad's mutations. Kat is also a good friend to Commander Cruger, though she considers him a "stubborn old dog", and provides a reasoned argument against his more emotional decision. When General Benaag captured her, Cruger accepted the Patrol Morpher that she had given him and became the Shadow Ranger.
Kat was granted the use of her own temporary Delta Morpher by Commander Birdy to become the S.P.D. Kat Ranger, making her the first female Other Ranger. The Kat Ranger costume is half-orange and half-white with cat-like ears, making her the first 8th Ranger and marking the first time that a Power Rangers team has had three female rangers on one team. Her powers expired after an hour. Her costume was similar to those of the B-Squad, but she did not have a number on her Ranger form like the other members of S.P.D. Instead, she had a heptagon as her chest symbol. As Kat Ranger, she created blinding auroras and threw feather-like "Cat Stunners". She wanted desperatly to help out against an enemy called Mooney who was a former classmate of hers and was given the Morpher to fight. She captures Mooney herself after stopping his giant robot. In Endings Part 1 she was amongst those captured by Broodwing's forces and was put into a cell alongside Boom. After Boom gets them out by summoning RIC she disables the Delta Command Megazord stopping Broodwing and allowing the B-Sqaud to capture him. She later fights in the final battle with Grumm's forces and retreats inside when the Nova Ranger shows up. She also witnesses the final showdown between Grumm and Cruger.
