VR Troopers

Virtually Powerless (1x48)

Air date: Feb 15, 1995

While at an arcade, J.B., RYAN and KAITLIN are visited by a mysterious man who suggests they play the newest game in the store -- ""Dark Odyssey."" As they play, they are given a shock via the game board, which GRIMLORD is secretly using as a conduit to unleash a lethal dose of gamma radiation on the virtualizers. They turn to their old friend, DR. ULYSSES T. POINDEXTER, the absent-minded professor. With Dr. Poindexter's help, Ryan's virtualizer is repaired. During a test run, Poindexter is kidnapped by SKUGS under Grimlord's order. The evil emperor wants to use Poindexter's knowledge of the TROOPERS as a weapon against them. The VR trio track Poindexter's whereabouts and Ryan sets out to rescue him. In the end, Poindexter repairs all three virtualizers and the Troopers are back in business. J.B. uses a device to wipe Poindexter's memory free from knowing who they really are, thus making him worthless to Grimlord.
