Wolvermean was the Racoon dog/wolverine-themed leader of the Galactic Ninjas, “The Stealer Of Memories” and a contestant on the second season of Galaxy Warriors. He served as the main antagonist of the episodes "Attack of the Galactic Ninjas" and "Outfoxed."
History[]
The Galactic Ninjas are introduced by Cosmo Royale amidst much fanfare as they introduce themselves and their attributes. Wolvermean is the first to fight the Rangers and goes to Earth where he steals Hayley, Preston, Sarah, and Brody’s memories but Calvin and Levi trick him and get the memories back. He battles the Rangers with the Foxbots but is destroyed by Calvin’s Whiplash Slash and Lion Fire Red’s Lion Fire Slash (the attack collectively known as the Lion Fire Whiplash Strike). He gets gigantified by Cosmo but is defeated by the Ninja Steel Ultrazord after his laser attack fails. However, Wolvermean survives and changes back to normal size where he vows revenge before retreating. However, his medallion also survives and Madame Odius takes it whilst stating that it might come in handy. TV STORY-Attack of the Galactic Ninjas
Wolvermean talks to Speedwing who is annoyed at himself for loosing his Speed Star but Madame Odius and Cosmo Royale show him a clip of when Sarah Thompson stole his Speed Star so he sends Speedwing back to earth. TV STORY-The Need for Speed

When Wolvermean learns from Venoma that Odius is using the Ninja Medallions to power Foxatron, he is furious and demands to get his back. Odius however makes a deal with him, claiming that he'll get it back if he defeats the Rangers, with the catch being that he'll get destroyed by Foxatron as well if he fails to defeat them in two hours. He goes to Earth with Venoma, but after being defeated by the Five Ranger Ninja Strike, he retreated. He is later gigantified by Cosmo Royale offscreen and fights them in the Ninja Blaze Megazord but is easily pushed. Just when he was about to fight them again, the two hours are wasted, and Madame Odius' Foxatron stabs him in the back with its sword, saying that he had his chance and that it's her turn. Fatally wounded, Wolvermean curses Odius, calling her a treacherous, wicked witch before flailing onto his back and exploding. TV STORY-Outfoxed
Personality[]
Wolvermean was a brash and arrogant leader who had a firm respect for his fellow ninjas and an excellent expert on ninjutsu such as camouflaging, hand to hand combat, and strategy. Although he did not tolerate losing, he respected those who had fought him and, whenever a fellow Galactic Ninja has made a mistake, he often helped them. After finding out about Odius' plans with the medallions from Venoma, Wolvermean showed that he did not like to be tricked and would do anything to get his fellow ninjas' possessions back. Despite being weakened, he was resilient and persistent with getting back at the Rangers for snuffing out his team and beating him. When Odius betrayed him, he utterly despised her to the point of calling her a "treacherous wicked witch" before his destruction.

to be added

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Wolvermean was voiced by Jamie Linehan, who also voiced Tangleweb in Ninja Steel and Game Goblin and later Brax in Super Ninja Steel.
- His voice was identical to that of Game Goblin from the previous episode and Brax.
Design[]
- Like Artistmole, Wolvermean suffered from another error of being named and themed after a wrong species since his Sentai counterpart, like Artistmole's Sentai counterpart, was based on a Mujina.
- However, it could be considered accurate because Wolverines and Badgers are both part of the Mustelidae family.
Etymology[]
- His name was a combination of Wolverine and mean.
Notes[]
- While he was the leader of the Galactic Ninjas, Wolvermean's Sentai counterpart was not the leader of the Izayoi Way Ninja Army Corps. Madame Odius's counterpart was.
- In Ninninger, Foxatron's debut occured after Wolvermean's defeat instead of Rygore's.
- Wolvermean was the only monster to be destroyed by Odius.
- Wolvermean was the third Galactic Ninja to be destroyed and the only Galactic Ninja to be destroyed by Odius.
