Anton Mercer

Anton Mercer is a character from Power Rangers Dino Thunder.

He is portrayed by Latham Gaines, who also voices his monsterous alter ego Mesogog.

Anton Mercer is a billionaire, world-reknown scientist, and adoptive father of Trent Fernandez-Mercer. He's also the human form of the evil Mesogog, which was the result of an experiment gone wrong.

Some years after the expedition with Tommy and Smitty going very bad, in which Tommy thought Anton was dead, Anton shows up at Hayley's Cyberspace, which Tommy meets again. During this time, Anton had been shown to be aloof, cold, and manipulative towards Tommy and Trent. However, this is only because he was trying to keep the fact that he was Mesogog away from them, but after Trent finds out, he only tried to keep it away from Tommy and the other Rangers. Anton had tried his best to try calm his internal fight with Mesogog. Anton, at first, didn't support Trent's art goals, but this was only because he was trying to prepare Trent to take over his oragnization and work had done if he loses his internal battle with Mesogog.

After seperating from Mesogog, Anton became more supportive of Trent, even more so after Mesogog had been destroyed. He also works at Reefside High as a teacher, primarily substituting for Tommy while he was trapped in his Black Ranger form. He is later seen at the prom after Mesogog's defeat with a reformed Elsa cheering Kira and her band on.
