Rangers

Cora Veralux

English voice by: Bella Thorne
Japanese voice by: Shizuka Itō

Cora was born and raised on Novalis, she dreamed of becoming a Galactic Ranger and spent her entire life trying to achieve that goal, becoming the youngest to be accepted into the team.

• The Ace: She's portrayed as hyper-competent in just about all areas; the worst you can really say about her is that she's a little rough around the edges sometimes, and even that eventually falls away. So why is Qwark still the leader? Rule of Funny, most likely.
  • She designed and built the Flux Rifle while doing her math homework and eating breakfirst at the same time in the holocard description.

• Deadpan Snarker: When she is not being threatening, she is very cynical and sarcastic.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Though initially standoffish, she eventually warms up to Ratchet and Clank. This is in contrast to Qwark, despite their similar status: she worked her tail off^note Literally - she doesn't have one, unlike other Markazians we've seen to get into the Galactic Rangers at a young age, while Ratchet just sort of blundered in. But while Qwark becomes jealous of Ratchet's new-found popularity, she comes to respect him, probably because fame is less important to her than actually getting the job done.
• Determinator: She wanted to be the youngest member of the Galactic Rangers, and got in through sheer grit.
• Flat Character: Due to the movie's Compressed Adaptation, her characterization largely boils down to "I'm gonna shoot it and maybe make a snarky comment."
• Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Wears a very tight uniform that highlights her figure.
• Ineffectual Death Threats: She threatens to shoot just about anyone who annoys her (Ratchet, Zed, etc.). The number of people she actually ends up shooting is quite a bit lower.
• Murder Is the Best Solution: Something bugging you? Shoot it. Problem solved.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Some fans have compared her to Talwyn from the Future games, though it's unclear whether Talwyn also exists in this reimagining.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Elaris's girly-girl.
• Wise Beyond Their Years: While she's impulsive, striving to get into one of the top military groups of the galaxy all her life has given her a bit of maturity beyond what you might expect of a teenager.

Brax Lectrus

English voice by: Vincent Tong (film), Mick Wingert (game)
Japanese voice by: Yoji Ueda

The muscle of the Galactic Rangers. Like Cora, he likes to shoot first and ask questions later, preferably with big guns.

• Boisterous Bruiser: He enjoys fighting and telling tales about fights.
• Competition Freak: A lighter example.
• Dumb Muscle: His general purpose. Of course, with Qwark on the team, his status as "Team Dummy" is highly debatable.
• Flat Character: Like Cora, his movie self suffers from the Compressed Adaptation rendering him largely a trigger-happy brute.
• The Big Guy: He's listed as the Rangers' muscle and is physically larger than most of the rest of them (only Qwark is of a similar size).

Elaris

English voice by: Rosario Dawson
Japanese voice by: Yuko Kaida

Elaris is Qwark's second-in command of the Galactic Rangers. She provides support via com station.

• Closet Sublet: Her com station appears to double as the janitor's closet, with mops and brooms standing in the corner.
• Gamer Chick: She's introduced while playing what appears to be Up Your Arsenal online and shouting into her headset at the kid on the other end.
• Mission Control: She helps with support from the relative safety of the Rangers' ship.
• Motor Mouth: On occasion, sometimes almost slipping into Talkative Loon territory.
• Only Sane Man: Despite her quirks, she's also the only one of the team who wants to use strategy instead of running into everything guns blazing.
• Reluctant Psycho: Of a very mild sort. She's aware that her position as support drove her predecessor crazy and promises that she won't end up the same way, though she does show hints that her sanity is a fragile thing.
• The Strategist: Not that anyone (besides Clank) ever listens to her strategies.
• That Came Out Wrong: She's keenly aware of when something she says sounds a little crazy, even when no one else has noticed.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly-girl to Cora's tomboy.

Villains

Chairman Alonzo Drek can be found in Ratchet & Clank: Villains.

Zed

English voice by: Andrew Cownden (film), Sam Riegel (game)
Japanese voice by: Masashi Yabe

Drek's assistant.

• Dirty Coward: He's an assistant, not a fighter. When push comes to shove he'll fold easily.
• Flight: He hovers around quite a few feet of the ground.
• Forgot About His Powers: When Cora threatens to drop him, he squeals about Drek's plans. The thing is he can hover so falling shouldn't be that bad.
• Heel–Face Turn: He eventually switches sides after his capture.
• Reused Character Design: Zed's general appearance resembles that of the maintenance bot Bleep from Full Frontal Assault.
• Robot Buddy: More like "personal assistant". He's Drek's assistant, secretary, and lackey. He appears in Life of Pie fulfilling a similar role for Dr. Nefarious.

Victor Von Ion

English voice by: Sylvester Stallone (film), Mark Silverman (game)
Japanese voice by: Tsuyoshi Koyama

Drek's muscle and leader of his warbots.

• Adaptational Badass: His counterpart in the original game, the robot lieutenant on Eudora, was an unimposing coward who hightailed it at the first sign of Ratchet. Here, he is given a very intimidating redesign and some impressive weaponry.
• Co-Dragons: With Dr. Nefarious, though Victor serves as The Brute. He's Drek's go to guy for destructive operations, general ass kickery and cellphone eating.
• Death by Adaptation: His counterpart in the original game vanished after his brief role. In the film and 2016 reimagining, Victor gets killed off when Clank exposes him to water.
• Kill It with Water: In both the game and the movie, we're informed that Victor has an aversion to water; in the game, it happens on Quartu when he busts open a water pipe while chasing Clank and gets held up rather than dashing through it, and in the film, he busts open another water pipe on the Phoenix and nervously backs away. This is eventually what Clank does to kill him, also in both the movie and the game; in the game, Clank activates the fire suppressant system on the ship, which is a bunch of ceiling sprinklers, while he uses the All 4 One Thundersmack (not the thrown pod one from Full Frontal Assault) in the film.
• My Greatest Failure: Clank getting away at the beginning was his first and only one and it reeeally bothers him. Rightly so as they probably would have won if Clank had been stopped their in the factory.
• Named by the Adaptation: His counterpart in the original game had no name.
• No Waterproofing in the Future: Actually an aversion: most robots, including Clank, are waterproof; Victor has just been damaged in combat enough times to expose his wiring.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Unlike just about every other robot in the galaxy, he isn't waterproof.

Others

Grimroth Razz

English voice by: John Goodman (film), Travis Willingham (game)
Japanese voice by: Tōru Ōkawa

An aging mechanic who mostly raised Ratchet after an incident in which the young Lombax stole his Rocket Sled and took it for a joyride.

• Always Identical Twins: He has a twin brother named Felton who looks identical to him, right down to the broken tusk.
• Canon Foreigner: He is a new character created for the movie and its tie-in game—Ratchet lived completely alone in the original game.
• The Cynic: He believes Ratchet's idealism will get him in trouble and encourages him to dream smaller; it's harder to be disappointed that way.
• Gentle Giant: He's a big guy, particularly in comparison to the main characters, and has a rather gruff appearance, but is actually quite nice.
• Good Parents: While Ratchet always longed for more, his childhood with Razz was anything but bad.
• Jerkass Has a Point: Not a jerk at all, but his rather cynical, dream smaller so one won't be disappointed idea, is actually pretty good advice.
• Mr. Fixit: Like Ratchet, he's mechanically inclined. Unlike Ratchet, he's less inclined to make modifications purely for the fun of it.
• Nice Guy: He's a cynic, but overall friendly and fatherly guy.
• Parental Substitute: The Re-imagining version of Ratchet thankfully had this guy instead of being completely alone.
