Mad Magnet is a robotic magnet/spider-themed monster who gets fought by the Wind Rangers in the episode "There's No "I" In Team".
History
Mad Magnet was summoned by Marah and Kapri. The two girls had a fight but were stopped by Lothor, who had Mad Magnet show the girls his power, the ability to stick his opponents together with his Magnet Force.
After being sent down to Earth by Marah and Kapri, he terrorizes the citizens of Blue Bay Harbor with his Magnet Force - until Shane intervenes. He fights the monster, but was quickly outmatched. Shane then morphed in to his Red Wind Ranger to battle the monster but Mad Magnet had the upper hand by using his Magnet Waves on the Red Ranger to stick him into the car. Mad Magnet was about to make the final blow on the Red Wind Ranger, until Shane realizes the importance of teamwork and is rescued by Tori and Dustin. The Wind Rangers tried to fight him, but none of their attacks have any effect on him. They then noticed the power source located on his chest and defeated him with the Storm Striker's Lion Hammer attack.
However, he is enlarged with the Scroll of Empowerment. To fight him in his enlarged state, Cam introduces the Rangers to their Zords: The Hawk Zord for the Red Ranger, The Dolphin Zord for the Blue Ranger and finally the Lion Zord for the Yellow Ranger. The monster did battle, but he gets burned by the Hawk Zord's Flame Attack and washed out by the Dolphin Zord's Tide Wave Attack. He gets the upper hand by using his Elastic Magnet Hand ability to grab the Hawk and Dolphin Zords, but thanks to the Lion Zord's Lion Tornado Blast, they broke free and the Lion Zord then used the After Burst attack, which easily destroys the monster. However, Mad Magnet manages to put himself back together, and the Wind Rangers had to join their Zords to form the new Storm Megazord. It proved immune to debris being explosively thrown at it and they then used the Serpent Sword's Triple Strike to finally destroy him. TV STORY-There's No "I" In Team

Notes
- Whenever he walks, a thunderous booming sound can be heard.
- Mad Magnet is known for being the very first monster of the season to:
- Be turned giant.
- Be fought by the Ninja Zords and the Storm Megazord.
- Mad Magnet's growth method is much different from his Sentai counterpart. This is because the Copy Giant from Hurricanger was never adapted to Ninja Storm.
