Dane Romero

"That star came to me, so I could protect it from evil like you."

- Dane vowing to keep the Ninja Nexus Star from Galvanax before breaking it.

Master Dane Romero is Brody and Aiden's father, as well as the original Ninja Steel Red, independent of the others who would eventually be Ninja Rangers. He was recognized by Galvanax's men as a "Power Ranger".

Character History
In High School, Dane Romero earned Summer Cove High a championship trophy. This trophy would be displayed for many years to come in the school's trophy display case.

Years later, he became the father to two children, Brody and Aiden. He trained them in the ways of the Ninja. Ten years ago, the Ninja Nexus Prism landed in Dane's yard. As the Prism was encased in Ninja Steel, Dane stripped it and kept the peeled steel. He was somehow able to reach into the Ninja Nexus Prism's hard exterior and take the Ninja Nexus Star. He believed he was chosen by the Ninja Nexus Prism to be its guardian.

Galvanax, Ripcon, and Madame Odius attacked his youngest son, Brody in hopes of getting the Prism. He tasked Aiden to hide until his return, giving him the tin with the Ninja Steel in it. Dane fought Galavanax, where he inadvertently morphed for the first time because of the Ninja Nexus Star. Armed with a Ninja Star Blade, he did great damage to the monster. However Ripcon took Brody hostage, distracting him long enough for Galvanax to blast him out of his ranger form and take the Star. As Galvanax was absorbing the Star's power, Dane picked up his sword and struck the star to stop Galvanax from taking its power, splitting it into six separate shards and releasing a blowback of energy. As the dust settled Dane had disappeared and the Ninja Nexus Prism was in his place.
