Since Mauga actor John Tui previously starred in Mystic Force, Overwatch 2 fans are disappointed the character doesn’t have a Power Rangers-like skin.
On top of theTransformers collab, Overwatch 2 added Sentai/Power Rangers-inspired content for Season 11: Super Mega Ultrawatch. The season, which began on June 20, reimagined several OW2 characters as heroes and villains in a way that’s inspired by Power Rangers and other Tokusatsu series.
Ana, Cassidy, Reaper, Sojourn, and Wrecking Ball each received skins with a Power Rangers-esque flair, for example. Meanwhile, Kaiju skins adorn the likes of Roadhog and Zenyatta to mimic the older franchise’s monstrous enemies.
To the chagrin of many a fan, though,Maugawas left out of the fun. It’s especially surprising to those who remember that Mauga actor John Tui portrayed Daggeron/Solaris Knight in 2006’s Power Rangers Mystic Force series.
Reddit userShattered_Disk4made their disappointment known in a post that highlights the one real connection between the two brands.
The user argued that not giving Mauga a Power Rangers-inspired hero or monster skin feels like a “missed opportunity” for Overwatch 2’s currentSuper Sentai-themed season. After all, Tui is “the one person on the cast who was an actual power ranger…”
While several people were shocked to learn of Tui’s Power Rangers bona fides, since he also starred in Power Rangers S.P.D., others were quick to throw out a few ideas of their own.
One commenter said Blizzard should “give Mauga the Solar Streak Megazord Skin,” a fitting choice considering the Megazord’s boxy design and the fact that Daggeron piloted it.
Another person cheered on the OP’s suggestion by writing in part, “…I would’ve loved a Maugazord skin. It would’ve been a funny reference to the VA’s past work whilst also fitting seamlessly into the theme of the rest of the season…”

But, for now, such a crossover remains wishful thinking.
