History[]
Distractor is hired by Vrak to keep the Megaforce Rangers occupied while he seeks the Wild Sword. The monster first appears as a giant where the Rangers confront him and then summon the Gosei Great Megazord. The monster pretends to go down but soon recovered and summoned forth his phantom army. The Rangers are shocked but the monsters proves to be inanimate and useless illusions. His ruse is discovered by Robo Knight since even him appearing to be a giant is an illusion and Robo Knight makes him fall back to human size using his Robo Blade.
He holds Distractor off while the Rangers continue towards the Black Mountains. After Vrak tricks the Rangers into releasing the weapon, Vrak steals it and Distractor teleports away from his battle and later accompanies him as the alien tests out the power of his new possession. Distractor is empowered with it, allowing him to give his phantoms physical form, gaining the upper hand. The Wild Sword, however, is won over by the Rangers and converts into the Ultra Zords and the Megaforce gains access to thier new power-up, Ultra Mode. They completely overpower Vrak and obliterate Distractor and his army with the Ultra Strike. The Dynamic Strike completely obliterates Distractor’s body, meaning that Vrak cannot use the Zombats to enlarge him.
Personality[]
Distractor was a mischievous troublemaker who tended to perform like an actor but was very sneaky and loyal to Vrak. However, he didn't know when to keep quiet about his plans which put him in his dismiss at the hands of the Mega Rangers.

Powers[]
- Energy Breath: Distractor could launch a stream of orange energy from his mouth.
- Color Beam: Distractor could apparently unleash some kind of "color beam." It is unclear whether he could actually do this, whether it was his energy breath attack, or whether this was just a fake boast since the Rangers interrupted it with the Dragon Sword before he could do it.
- Teleportation: Distractor could teleport to any location at will.
- Phantom Illusions: Distractor possessesed the ability to cast illusions of Toxic Mutants by spraying the air with white mist from his mouth to confuse and distract his foes. Due to these monsters being illusions, they could not be harmed and they don't do anything other then standing in one place and occasionally moving around.
- Phantom Summoning: When Distractor was powered up by the Wild Sword, his monster illusions became real, giving them an increase in strength and enabling them to actually attack.
