I'm Tommy Oliver. What you're about to see is a history of my life... My history, as a Power Ranger
-- and a look at all the Ranger teams of the past.
ZORDON ERA >>
My story begins in Angel Grove, when five teenagers with attitude were recruited to fight the evil
space sorceress Rita Repulsa. They harnessed the power of the dinosaur to become Earth's first
Power Rangers.
Under the guidance of intergalactic being Zordon -- Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Billy and Jason bravely
defended Earth, which forced Rita to create her own Ranger.
Her evil magic was too strong. I couldn't fight it. She commanded me to destroy
the Power Rangers and I almost succeeded.
But my friends never gave up. They helped me destroy the Sword of Darkness
and I was freed. That's when I joined the team, but not for long.
I soon discovered the Green Ranger powers were only temporary. But I came back for good when
it was time to create a new Ranger.
A new villain, Lord Zedd, was destroying Earth. And with 3 Rangers leaving, a
new power source had to be found. Trini, Zack and Jason, passed on their powers
-- and Aisha, Adam and Rocky stepped forward.
Soon, Rita and Zedd teamed up to form our most powerful enemy yet, bringing with them a new
terror, Rito. The new team fought bravely, but it wasn't enough. Rito destroyed our zords.
But a Ranger never gives up. Zordon sent us on a quest to find Ninjor, a warrior from the past who
showed us the secrets of the ancient ninja.
Our quest complete, we gained new weapons, new zords and new enemies. But along with new
enemies, came new friends. When Kimberly chose to leave, Katherine was the only choice -- and
just in time.
Rita's father, Master Vile, succeeded in reversing back time, turning the Power
Rangers into kids. The Alien Rangers from the planet Aquitar came to Earth to
help out until time could be restored.
Everything went back to normal, but we were under attack... We got out just as Rita and Zedd
succeeded in destroying the Command Center. Beneath the ruins, we found the Zeo Crystal, a
mystical power that guided us into the next chapter of our lives as Rangers.
The Zeo powers were awesome and were needed to help fight the evil Machine Empire. Later,
when we needed reinforcements, we turned to an old friend.
Jason returned and assumed the power of the Gold Ranger.
After high school graduation, we were ready to face the world. But not before going on one last
adventure as Rangers. It was time to shift into a higher gear.
The old Rangers were gone forever, but the Turbo Rangers were born. A space pirate named
Divatox launched an attack on Earth. We were given the powers of Turbo and took her head on --
and with a little help, after Rocky had to leave.
When it was time for us to move on with our lives, TJ, Cassie, Ashley and Carlos proved they had
what it takes to become Rangers.
I decided to go to college and study Paelentology. That's where I met Hayley, expert in science
and MIT graduate. Soon, I found the Dino Gems and knew there was no turning back.
I met Dr. Anton Mercer and Terrance "Smitty" Smith -- and we worked on combining dino DNA with
technology. Smitty and I were both up for the same job at Anton Mercer Industries until I got the
job and Smitty went to work for another company.
Then one day... There was a accident and Anton disappeared. I was attacked and escaped just as
the island was sinking. Hayley helped create the Dino powers, in case they would be needed one
day.
Meanwhile, Divatox was tough and the Piranhatrons were relentless. She wasn't ready to give up
and staged a fearsome attack, taking out the Turbo Ranger's command center and their powers
with it. She headed for space and Earth's ultimate destruction.
The Rangers knew they had to follow Divatox into space and embarked on the most dangerous
mission, leaving behind the world they knew forever.
The journey into space was treacherous and the line between friend and foe is a thin one.
Andros proved he was more than a friend. He was just the kind of leader they would need to fight
a new enemy called Astronema... They thought they had no hope, but Andros brought them the
Astro Morphers, bringing forth a new team.
The Space Rangers freed Zhane from his deep freeze and the Silver Ranger was a noble addition
to the team. Together, they defeated Astronema and brought forth the good person inside,
Karone. And when the forces of evil united to conquer the universe, Zordon
sacrificed himself to stop them once and for all.
But evil wasn't gone forever.
POST-ZORDON ERA >>
On the distant planet of Mirinoi, 5 new heroes -- Leo, Damon, Kendrix, Maya and Kai, retrieved the
Quasar Sabers and were chosen to be the Power Rangers of the Lost Galaxy. They would have to
combine their powers if they were to defeat their mortal enemy, Scorpius and his daughter,
Trakeena.
Trakeena threatened to destroy the space colony Terra Venture and took on a horrifying new form.
Red Ranger and his battlizer were the colony's only hope. With the villains destroyed, the people
of Terra Venture were forever grateful to the Rangers of the Lost Galaxy.
Meanwhile, on Earth, an elite team was being put together to fight a new battle
against an invasion of demons in the city of Mariner Bay.
The Lightspeed Rangers needed one more to complete their mission. That's when
Ryan joined the team.
Time Force from the year 3000 chased a mutant criminal through time. Wes
Collins, a decendant of Alex from the future, was chosen to be Red and the Time
Force Rangers were born. But it took another modern day hero to help finish the
job.
It took a while for Eric to learn that the greatest virtue of being a Ranger is not the power, but the
reward of helping mankind.
In deep space, the evil Troobian Empire led by Emporer Gruumm traveled across galaxies and
conquered them. Anubis "Doggie" Cruger -- the last survivor of his home planet Syrius, founded
Space Patrol Delta (SPD) on Earth. In the years following, different Space Patrol branches were
setup across the galaxy. The SPD A-Squad was awarded Ranger powers, but couldn't overcome
the temptaion of greed and power.
In the year 2025, Gruumm and his forces escaped through a wormhole to Earth and attacked. With
the help of 2 rebellious street theives, the SPD B-Squad Rangers were formed and battled
Gruumm, his army and the evil A-Squad.
Back in the present time, the Wild Force Rangers needed a leader. Cole joined and together they
used spirits of the ancient animals to fight the evil Orgs, creatures determined to conquer Earth
through pollution and destruction.
The final member to join the team was Merrick, the LunarWolf.
When Generals of the Machine Empire threatened to destroy Earth -- myself, 8
other Red Rangers and Eric (Quantum Ranger), teamed up to stop them for good.
NEW GENERATION ERA >>
Three unlikely ninja students commanded the power of earth, air and water to
protect Blue Bay Harbor against the evil space ninja, Lothor.
It was the power of Thunder that have them their biggest challenge... But their
greatest enemies, proved to be their greatest allies.
With Earth at the brink of destruction, another friend, Cam, went back in time to retrieve the one
power that could save them all -- the power of the Green Samurai Ranger.
In their final battle against Lothor, the Rangers made the ultimate sacrifice -- giving up their
morphing power and trapping him in the Abyss of Evil.
Just as I began teaching science class at Reefside High School, Mesogog returned
and it became necessary to invoke the power of the Dino Gems. Conner, Kira and
Ethan were chosen by the Gems and fought Mesogog and his forces.
I was captured and held captive at Mesogog's fortress, but escaped with some help. With the
Black Dino Gem, I became a Ranger once again.
We were all nearly defeated by Trent, who found a White Gem and became the evil White Ranger.
Luckily, the evil coating was broken just in time, but not before I became trapped in my Ranger suit
for several weeks.
Thanks to Hayley, I was freed, but became invisible. I was hooked up to a machine which brought
me back, but I fell into a coma.
In a test of Ranger power verses will to live, I fought Zeo Ranger 5, MMPR White Ranger and Green
Ranger. I fought bravely and woke up from the coma with my Dino Gem intact.
In the final battle against Mesogog, he took on a new form. Our only hope was to sacrifice the
Gem power to defeat him for good.
In the year 1986, a peaceful magical world unknown to humans co-existed with our world.
Udonna, the White sorceress and Leanbow, the Red Wizard, had a son named Bowen and lived in
harmony with Niella, the Shadow Moon sorceress and Daggeron, the Solaris Knight. An evil
undead army led by Morticon attacked the magical world and 5 brave warriors, led by Leanbow,
sealed them to the underworld. Leanbow sacrificed himself and was lost to the darkness for years
to come. Daggeron fought Calindor who chose the dark side and was cursed into a frog. Niella
sacrificed herself to seal the gate, keeping the darkness from escaping. Bowen was taken to the
human world with the help of a troblin and grew up not knowing of his magical roots. Udonna,
having lost everything, built a safe-haven named Rootcore and created Mystic Force Ranger
powers.
Back in the present, things remained pretty quiet after Mesogog's defeat... But it didn't last.
An earthquake cracked the gate to the underworld and an evil Knight Wolf named Koragg
escaped. Four teens from the town Briarwood and Nick, who came from out of town, were chosen
to become the Mystic Force Rangers.
Udonna was defeated by Koragg and lost her snowstaff. Daggeron became freed and proved to
be a valuable asset and mentor to the team.
Udonna was nearly destroyed by the surpreme Master trying to save the Rangers, but was saved
just in time by Leanbow who had been Koragg the entire time. She lost her powers and all hope
seemed gone until she noticed Nick's red blanket and realized Nick was Bowen. Leanbow sacrficed
himself again to stop the Master and Udonna went on a quest to find him. The story continues...
Currently, I'm in my third year teaching and enjoy a more quiet life. But I still keep an eye out,
knowing that someday the next evil force will attack Earth and the next group of Rangers will be
born.
This is Tommy Oliver and may the power protect you.
-- and a look at all the Ranger teams of the past.
