The VR Troopers

The VR Troopers, a shortened name for Virtual Reality Troopers, were created by Tyler Steele and Prof. Horatio Hart as a way to combat the "master of the Virtual World," named Grimlord. It's a trio of cyber warriors that possess the equipment and skills developed by the knowledge of the two virtual technicians. Their armor was built inside the professor's lab; however, they remain inanimate unless three chosen heroes would wield them with the power of their own Virtualizers. Once obtained, the team, often Ryan, say the words, "Trooper transform! We are VR!" and often warp to virtual reality with their own avatars. At one point, Ryan had to have a massive upgrade to his powers since his last avatar lost its sapped powers thanks to Grimlord and Wolfbot.

There were also a couple Troopers created by Grimlord himself, such as the Red Python for Amy, and Darkheart for Tyler.

In the crossover, Ikran's child OC, Chita Comett, had her own talents developed by the two eggheads, thinking it's time for her to act as a decoy and have a crash course as a trainee during the Virtual Reality War in conjunction with her fellow Mutants.
