Andros grew up with his sister, Karone, on the space colony of KO-35. However one day, she was kidnapped by the bounty hunter, Darkonda, and he swore to find her again. After becoming a teenager, Andros and his friend, Zhane, were chosen to become Power Rangers by the Galactic wizard Zordon, Andros the Red Ranger and Zhane the Silver Ranger. The two were a great team but things went awry for them during an enormous assault on KO-35 by the forces of evil. During the battle, Zhane was badly injured by a monster and Andros placed him in a cryo-chamber on the Astro Megaship to keep him alive in the hope he would one day recover.
In Space[]
Two years after putting his best friend in cryo-sleep, Andros heard tell of Zordon being captured by ruthless Grand Monarch of evil Dark Specter, which lead him to go undercover during a gathering of his supervillain army The United Alliance of Evil, only to get caught by Dark Specter's right-hand woman Astronema and the monster Goldar and is forced to flee the meeting.
After the destruction of the Power Chamber and the loss of their powers, the four Turbo Rangers, Theodore Johnson, Carlos Vallerte, Ashley Hammond, and Cassie Chan head into space, hoping to find and free Zordon. However they accidentally find their way onto the Astro Megaship where they run into Andros, who initially mistakes them for intruders. After they help him fend off an attack by a squad of Quantrons, they offer to join him but he turns them away, telling them they knew nothing about surviving in space. However Alpha 6 convinces Andros to let them help him and he finds them in the clutches of Astronema. He frees them and gives them the other four Astro Morphers, allowing them to become the Blue, Black, Yellow, and Pink Space Rangers. After being attacked by a squadron of Veloci Fighters, Andros and his new teammates combine the Astro Megaship with the Astro Megashuttle to form the Astro Megazord. They then set out on a mission to find Zordon and protect Earth from Astronema.
Some time after this, Zhane is awakened from his cryo-chamber after the Megaship crashed. During their time together, Andros begins developing a relationship with Ashley Hammond. Though he is happy to see his friend again, Andros becomes jealous after he saw Zhane and Ashley spending time together. However the Silver Ranger convinces Andros that they are just friends so Andros is able to ask her out on a date. After a time, he finds out that Karone has grown up to become the Princess of Evil, Astronema. Andros manages to convince her to come to the side of good, but she is captured again and transformed to be pure evil by Dark Specter. He doesn’t have time to try and bring her back after Astronema creats the vicious Psycho Rangers.

However Dark Specter unleashes the forces of the United Alliance of Evil in an enormous galactic invasion.
Andros with a seemingly lifeless Astronema
During the battle, Andros sneaks on-board Astronema’s Dark Fortress and finds Zordon who tells him to shatter his energy tube which will unleash a wave of energy across the galaxy, destroying all evil forces, although this will also kill him. Astronema finds them and fights Andros who is unwilling to fight back but accidentally deflects a bolt of energy at her, seemingly killing her. Just then, Astronema's general Ecliptor finds out what had happened and fights Andros with Zordon insisting that that he destroy his energy tube. Finally the Red Ranger reluctantly did so, sending a wave of energy across the galaxy destroying the villains and transforming Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, Divatox, and Astronema into humans, reuniting Andros with his sister. Though at first he thinks of staying on KO-35, he decides to go back to Earth with the Space Rangers, Zhane, and Karone.
To the Tenth Power[]
Andros begins looking for the data cards that the Psycho Rangers are trapped on and tracks them to Terra Venture but they have already been freed. He saves Leo from Psycho Red and they go to rescue of the other Galaxy Rangers. Though they are unable to match the Psycho Rangers at first, the other Space Rangers show up and together, they bring down the Psychos. Later when Psycho Pink claims the Savage Sword, Andros and his teammates take the helm of the Astro Megazord one last time and help the Galaxy Rangers destroy the last of the Psychos.
