General Burke is the father of Betty Burke and Ben Burke and the former general of Grid Battleforce in Power Rangers Beast Morphers.
History[]
He comes to Grid Battleforce, offering the team the use of his Special Ops Hangar.
TV STORY-Taking Care of Business
When Cybervillain Blaze and Cybervillain Roxy threatened Betty and Ben's lives, he begs Cybervillain Blaze and Cybervillain Roxy to set them free, whereupon Steel agreed to surrender. TV STORY-Silver Sacrifice
He arrives shortly after Devon brings Ben and Betty the perfect birthday cake, and gets into a food fight with Ben and Betty when they squirt each other with tubes of icing. TV STORY-Seeing Red
General Burke told Commander Shaw about his secret project called the Beast-X King Zord which he got approval to make it from Mayor Adam Daniels. To Zoey and Nate's surprise, Burke had rehired Megan to help with the engineering of the Beast-X King Zord. TV STORY-Beast King Rampage
He arrives at Grid Battleforce when Ben and Betty are trying to get his wedding tuxedo out of the Hyperfreeze ice using Split Emitters. As a mistake, Burke gets switched with the mannequin and frozen. Betty tries it again and switches Ben and Burke freezing Ben instead and finding the tuxedo on herself. Fortunately, Devon arrives and manages to get Ben out of the ice now wearing Burke's military attire. TV STORY-The Evox Snare
Personality[]
Burke presents himself as a stern military man, however, he can sometimes be immature and childish, as he demonstrates when he starts a food fight with Ben and Betty, and is even amused by their goofiness. Despite this, he also cares about their safety, especially when they're captured by Cybervillain Blaze and Cybervillain Roxy. It is inferred by several characters that because of their extreme unintelligence, Ben and Betty would not have a job at Grid Battleforce, if not for the fact that their father is the general.
Family[]
- Betty Burke - Older Daughter
- Ben Burke - Younger Son
Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- General Burke is portrayed by Mark Wright.
- Mark Wright is a very well known voice actor in Power Rangers with this being his first (major) physical role. His most famous voices were the White Terrorsaurus from Dino Thunder, Doomwing from Dino Super Charge, Scorch from Jungle Fury, and Argus from Megaforce.
Notes[]
- He is the fourth parent to appear onscreen this season, and like Mayor Adam Daniels, Commander Shaw, and Muriel Reeves, his current marital status is unknown.
- He's the first character since Riley Griffin to celebrate his birthday in an episode, and the first non-Ranger since Doctor K to do so.
- He is Mark Wright's first live action role since the business man in Ninja Storm episode "Tongue and Cheek".
- With Devon promoted to Commander and Commander Shaw to General, General Burke's own fate is unknown, since he's never seen again after his cameo at the end of "The Evox Snare". It's possible that he either received a promotion of his own or he retired. He's still working in Grid Battleforce just probably not a general anymore.
