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.
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 Paleontology. That's where I met Hayley, an 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.
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 temptation 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 thieves, the SPD B-Squad
Rangers were formed and battled Gruumm, his army and the evil A-Squad.
They'd get help from Cruger as the Shadow Ranger and a time traveler called
Omega Ranger before justice was served.
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, teamed up to stop them for good.
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, Mighty
Morphin' 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.
When archaeologist Andrew Hartford found the Corona Aurora, two ninja brothers -- transformed
into evil beings and banished to separate planets centuries ago -- were awakened.
Four young adults -- Dax, Will, Ronny, Rose were recruited to fight the evil threat and seek out the
jewels of the crown, hidden by the Sentinel Knight millions of years ago.
Hartford's son, Mack, joined the team as leader and Operation Overdrive was born. A rescuer
hunting the Fearcats name Tyzonne would later join as the Mercury Ranger.
They faced their greatest challenge when the son of Rita and Zedd, Thrax -- freed of his
banishment by the Sentinel Knight -- created an evil alliance and destroyed the Rangers link to the
morphing grid. Four Rangers from the past and one from the future were summoned to take over
until the grid was repaired and Thrax was defeated.
Once the evil threat was gone, the team returned to their everyday lives with the knowledge and
experience they had gained.
Elsewhere, Master Mao -- the leader of an ancient academy -- was preparing to promote 3 of his
students, when Dai Shi escaped from his thousands of years of imprisonment, defeated Mao and
found Jarrod, an expelled student as a host.
With the help of RJ, a new Master -- Casey, Theo and Lily became the Power Rangers Jungle Fury.
They'd need all the help they can get to take on Camille, Dai Shi and his quest for ultimate power.
RJ would join the fight as Wolf Ranger, Dominic, the Rhino Ranger and they'd get a little help from
the Spirit Rangers and the Rangers' personal Master's.
They'd all join together to stop the Dai Shi in his true dragon form, but it was ultimately the chosen
3 -- Casey, Theo and Lily who could defeat him for good
Currently, I'm in my sixth 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.

This is Tommy Oliver and may the power protect you.
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 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 an out-of-towner named Nick, 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 supreme 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 it was
discovered Nick was Bowen. Leanbow sacrificed himself again to stop the Master and would use his powers for good
to become Wolf Warrior.
The Master destroyed the magic world and nearly Rita, who had become Mystic Mother, a sorceress of good. Mystic
Force teamed up for a final battle and the Briarwood citizens lived in peace with the mystical forest creatures.
