Michael^[1] "Mike" Corbett is a character from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. As the one who pulled the Quasar Saber containing the Red Lost Galaxy Ranger powers, he was the one intended to be the Red Lost Galaxy Ranger. However, an ensuing battle forces him to relay the saber to his younger brother, Leo Corbett as he falls into an abyss to his assumed death. However, he is later revived and becomes the second Magna Defender after the actual and original Magna Defender sacrificed his life to save Terra Venture.

History

Mike was one of the security personnel assigned to the space station Terra Venture, acting as Commander Stanton's second in command. During a training exercise, he encountered a girl named Maya, who had emerged through a spatial rift from the planet Mirinoi. Accompanying her, he and several others pulled the five Quasar Sabers from their stones. Furio, who was attempting to take the sabers, became enraged and began turning the planet into stone. As they attempted to escape, Mike fell into an abyss that Furio created. Mike was able pass his Quasar Saber to Leo before he fell.Quasar Quest Inside the abyss, he encountered the Magna Defender and allowed him to enter his body.

Mike's spirit influenced the Magna Defender by causing him pain when he did something that was morally wrong. The Magna Defender later freed Mike by sacrificing himself Redemption Day. When Leo considered giving Mike the Red Quasar Saber back, Mike refused, saying it was Leo's destiny to become the Red Ranger. The spirit of the Magna Defender later appeared to Mike and gave him a Morpher that allowed him to become the new Magna Defender, telling him that it was his own destiny Destined for Greatness. Mike became a loyal ally to the Lost Galaxy Rangers. Terra Venture attempted to escape the Lost Galaxy by entering through an open portal. The portal was closing and the station was not fast enough. Mike sacrificed his powers, and nearly himself in the process, to hold open the portal long enough to let the space station through. Escape the Lost Galaxy

Notes

• The Magna Defender Morpher was actually a repainted version of the previously unused Gosei Sentai Dairanger's changer device, the Aura Changer. It was never in Seijuu Sentai Gingaman. It is not the same as his Sentai counterpart's Bull Riot from Gingaman.
• He shares his first name with Mike of Power Rangers Samurai and Super Samurai.
• He is the first hero to morph by calling out his designation/color followed by the word "power", without the word for what he is (defender) or "ranger" (in his own case, "Magna Power").  This is followed by Ryan Mitchell, Eric Myers, and Antonio Garcia.
• Mike and the Magna Defender are considered to be the first Ranger or Ranger-esque ally to to become his or her own zord. This concept would later be used for the entire team of Power Rangers Mystic Force.
• Russell Lawrence is five years younger than his on-screen younger brother Danny Slavin.
