We should post info on each Ranger. Like what they were doing before becoming Power Rangers, after the final battle, and while they were Rangers. And include the zords, weapons, etc.

I'll post some info I got from Wikipedia. Starting now.


Conner McKnight
Conner McKnight is a fictional character in the Power Rangers universe, appearing in the television series Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. He was played by James Napier.
In the Power Rangers continuity, Conner has an identical twin brother called Eric (also played by Napier) who was once a student at the Wind Ninja Academy (as seen in the finale of Power Rangers: Ninja Storm), but later flunked out.
Conner is known for arguably being the most powerful Ranger ever, and has had the most power upgrades in the history of the Power Rangers franchise.
Conner's main interest is playing soccer and he aspires to be a famous soccer star. He is constantly labeled a 'dumb jock' by his fellow Ranger, Ethan James, with whom he shared a mild rivalry earlier on in the season. At first, he seems to fit the stereotype as he comes off as arrogant and self-centered. However, he is actually a very well meaning and honest person who always does the right thing in the end, despite his faults.
Conner occasionally doubted himself as a Ranger and thought about quitting on two occasions. Tommy Oliver was the only one who appeared to see Conner's potential and seemingly tried to groom him into a leader role throughout the series.
Around the time his relationship with Ethan became more friendly, Trent Fernandez gained Ranger powers. Conner quickly developed a very intense rivalry with Trent who, by this time, had become the White Dino Ranger. At first, the two were on opposing sides and engaged in raging fights with each other. However, even after Trent joined the team, Conner was still very distrusting and uncomfortable around him, until Trent saved his life in battle with a monster.
Conner shares a leadership role with the Black Dino Ranger (Tommy Oliver). Tommy, being the mentor and most skilled, took on a leadership role sometimes but also held back on some occasions to allow Conner to shine. When Tommy was not in battle, Conner naturally assumed the leadership role.
Conner was a soccer player at Reefside High School. He also played on a local club team. He found the Red Dino Gem when Kira Ford, Ethan James, and himself were in detention. Dr. O told them that if they found anything prehistoric that he would cancel detention for the rest of the week. He picked up the Red Dino Gem, while Kira and Ethan picked up the yellow and blue ones. The Red Dino Gem bonded with his DNA, giving him the ability of super-speed. After that, Kira was kidnapped by Mesogog, which forced Conner and Ethan to tell Tommy that they had taken the Dino Gems. Kira escaped from Mesogog's lab and met up with Conner, Ethan, and Tommy. Later, the Dinozords were wreaking havoc on the city. Tommy then gave the Red Dino Morpher to Conner, while he gave the yellow and blue morphers to Kira and Ethan. He morphed into the Red Dino Ranger and tamed the Tyrannozord. As the Red Dino Ranger, he controlled the Tyrannozord, as well as wielding the Tyrannostaff and Thundermax Saber in combat.
Conner once thought of quitting because his duties as a Ranger conflicted with his tryouts for a professional soccer team. Conner decided to do one last mission as a Ranger. In this mission, Conner saved a little girl from a Tyrannodrone. After the battle, she gave him a hug and told him "thank you." This inspired Conner to continue his duties as a Ranger.
Conner was the first Dino Ranger to activate the Super Dino Mode enhancements on his suit during a fierce battle with the then-evil White Dino Ranger. It was Conner's sheer determination to win against the White Ranger, that made him able to unlock the Super Dino Mode. When he first unlocked the Super Dino Mode, he could only use it for a short amount of time, but as he grew stronger as a Ranger, his abilities with that enhancement increased and limitations decreased.
In Leader Of The Whack, a strange metoer crashed on Earth. The meteor had the power to unleash a side of yourself you usually didn't show. For Conner, it was a side of intelligence, giving the viewers a clue that Conner isn't as boneheaded as he appears.
In Lost & Found In Translation, Conner and Kira find Ethan watching TV late at night in the Cyberspace Cafe, and come across a Japanese show about their exploits. While Kira and Ethan are excited by Japan's portryal of the Power Rangers, Conner is disgusted. Later though, he warms up to it, learning not to be so stereotypical. He also used the theme for his class paper, as he said he compared the way they see us to the way we see ourselves.
Due to a brutal defeat from the Terrorsaurus and the White Dino Ranger Clone, Tommy and Trent began to unleash the Shield of Triumph, which was hidden in a waterfall. Conner kept feeling a calling from the shield. Conner used the shield to become the Triassic Ranger. Conner showed up just in time to claim the Shield of Triumph. For the Shield to assume full power, each Dino Ranger had to contibute a part of themselves. After Trent made his contribution to the shield, Tommy then made his, followed by Kira and Ethan (who would sometimes have to keep contributing their power to Conner). Conner then used it to become the Triassic Ranger. After morphing, this shield acts as the Triassic Ranger's weapon and gives him the ability to travel into another dimension known as the "The Triassic Dimension". After Conner gained his Triassic powers, Hayley discovered the Mezodon Dinozord and then created the Triassic Megarover. The Mezodon pulls the Triassic Megarover as its chariot. Together, they are called Mezodon Rover. The two can also combine to create the Mezodon Megazord.
After meeting his love interest Krista, Conner was able to unlock the final stage of his Dino Powers. Conner begins to doubt his dedication when Krista is willing to do whatever it takes to fight for her cause. Krista was kidnapped by Zeltrax and her life was in danger. Conner remembered a speech from Tommy Oliver, about passion, and then, after unleashing Super Dino Mode and morphing into the Triassic Ranger on his own, he unlocked the Battlizer and became the Battlized Triassic Ranger. The Battlized Mode gives Conner super-stretch arms and legs, a small Mezodon-faced shield, another shield-like armor piece for his opposite arm which looks like a tail, lightning fast agility, a dragon yo-yo attack, and shoulder cannons which can fire massive amounts of energy at his enemies, often destroying them. He defeated Zeltrax, sending the villain into hiding.
In the episode Thunder Struck, Part 2, Conner, like his fellow Rangers, sacrificed his Dino Gem powers to save the Earth from the Mesomonster. After this, he lost all of his powers - including his super-speed abilities.
At the end of Dino Thunder, Conner finally hooks up with Krista and takes her to the High School prom. He later goes on to start his own soccer camp. In 20 years, he will have become famous for his soccer camps all over the country.
In the year 2025, a criminal named Broodwing purchased the Red, Yellow, and Blue Dino Gems on the planet Onyx. At his one year High School reunion, in the year 2005, Conner, Ethan, and Kira were brought to the future by Broodwing, in the hopes that Broodwing and the Dino Rangers would form an alliance against Space Patrol Delta and Emperor Gruumm. Ethan, Kira, and himself met up with the S.P.D. Rangers. Though their battles are legendary, they had to prove to Anubis Cruger and the other S.P.D. Rangers their true courage. Conner and the other Dino Rangers helped the B-Squad Rangers defeat Emperor Gruumm's largest Krybot army. Conner and the other Dino Thunder Rangers used the Z-Rex Blaster on Gruumm, which forced him to retreat. Conner took a liking to Syd, but she wasn't very receptive. The Dino Rangers offer to stay but can't due to them having to continue their lives in the past. They are told that Conner established a large chain of soccer camps across the country, Kira became a huge singing sensation, and Ethan ended up developing some software that they still use at S.P.D. After this, they were returned to the year 2005, having forgotten the whole incident, because Doggie Cruger erased their memories of it. Later, right after Conner gained his Triassic powers and before Zeltrax disappeared again (during the course of the Dino Thunder series) S.P.D. came back in time to 2004, following Grumm who decided to destroy Earth there. The Dino Rangers (with their memory erased) teamed up with S.P.D. to defeat Zeltrax and Mora's monsters. Conner again teamed up with Jack. Their memories were erased (even S.P.D.'s memories were erased).

Ethan James
Ethan James is a fictional character featured in the American television program Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, the tenth series produced as part of the Power Rangers franchise. The character, portrayed by Kevin Duhaney, is the Blue Dino Ranger.
Ethan is the group geek, often found online or playing video games. But he is also very smart and sarcastic and isn't afraid to stand up for himself when pushed. During the season finale, he asks out Angela, a pretty girl he meets in line for the latest sci-fi film and takes her to the school dance.
Ethan was a skilled hacker and computer expert at Reefside High School, whose pranks got him in trouble with Principal Randall. While serving detention with two other students (Conner McKnight and Kira Ford) under the new science teacher, Dr. Thomas Oliver, Ethan found a Dino Gem and gained superhuman powers. He found that he could make his skin impenetrable.
Eventually, he also learned how to morph into the Blue Dino Ranger. He controlled the Tricerazord (and for a short time the Stegazord), and used the Tricera Shield. He also piloted the Mezodon Megazord in its final battle.
Ethan is an avid gamer. One time, he was cheating at a game, trying to get the secret code, and a monster zapped him into it. There he met Beldorf, a wizard in the game. Ethan escaped from the game and learned that you have to be cautious at all times when you're a Power Ranger.
Ethan was the third Dino Ranger to unlock his Super Dino Mode. He unlocked it during a battle with the White Drago Ranger, Trent Fernandez. Trent had defeated Kira and was on the verge of killing her, when Ethan and Conner went into Super Dino Mode and defeated him.
Another time, a strange metoer crashed on Earth. The meteor had the power to release a side of yourself that was usually hidden. For Ethan, it was a competitive side that came out, as he was seen being a workfiend and acting like an airhead (much like Conner McKnight.)
Ethan also had trouble with a bully at school, Derrick, who was frustrated about his abilities in soccer, so he took out his frustrations on Ethan. Ethan wasn't afraid to stand up for himself, but he also knew that there were better ways to deal with a bully. Ethan used his computer to show the bully what was wrong with his kicking, it worked, and the issue was resolved.
When Trent returned to the side of good, Ethan had a little trouble trusting him, but eventually learned to trust him.
Ethan also developed a relationship with Cassidy Cornell, using an internet on-line dating service. Ethan learned that while Cassidy was a good person, she was just insecure. He helped her to be nicer to people though. In the end, Ethan and Cassidy decided to be friends.
Ethan was visiting a museum one day, when he saw Egyptian hieroglyphics. He decided to translate them and ended up being cursed. Though he didn't believe it at first, after a series of unfortunate events, he learned it was real. Kira went to the museum to get the rest of the hieroglyphics to learn to break the curse. This brought Tutenhawken to life as he attacked the city. Kira brought the writings back and they learned that only in the air Tutenhawken could be defeated and the curse broken. Ethan used his brand new Hovercraft Cycle to defeat him.
Ethan also learned to be humble. There was a video game competition going on at Hayley's Cyberspace, and Ethan wasn't practicing. He won the tournament from last year and believed that he didn't need to practice. Ethan's cockiness cost him the tournament title though, as he took second place to Cassidy's friend, Devin Del Valle.
In A Test of Trust, Ethan, Conner, and Kira reflected on their first year as Power Rangers. They were talking about Ethan, and they decided that Ethan's reputation was definitely a lot better than it was before.
Ethan lost his powers, due to burnout in the fianl battle against Mesosgog, and goes to the prom with a girl named Angela. 20 years later, Ethan will have created new technological equipment that is used by S.P.D.
In the year 2025, a criminal named Broodwing purchased the Red, Yellow, and Blue Dino Gems on the planet Onyx. At his one year High School reunion, in the year 2005, Conner, Ethan, and Kira were brought to the future by Broodwing, in the hopes that Broodwing and the Dino Rangers would form an alliance against Space Patrol Delta and Emperor Gruumm. Conner, Kira, and himself met up with the S.P.D. Rangers. Though their battles are legendary, they had to prove to Anubis Cruger and the other S.P.D. Rangers their true courage. Conner and the other Dino Rangers helped the B-Squad Rangers defeat Emperor Gruumm's largest Krybot army. Ethan and the other Dino Rangers used the Z-Rex Blaster on Gruumm, which forced him to retreat. The Dino Rangers offered to stay but can't due to them having to continue their lives in the past. They are told that Conner established a large chain of soccer camps across the country, Kira became a huge singing sensation, and Ethan ended up developing some software that they still use at S.P.D. After this, they were returned to the year 2005, having forgotten the whole incident, because Dr. Kat Manx erased their memories of it. Later, Ethan appears again when Gruumm comes to the past and teams up with Zeltrax. After helping his teammates and the SPD Rangers defeat Zeltrax, his memory is once again erased.

Kira Ford
Kira Ford, played by Emma Lahana, is the Yellow Dino Ranger in the television program Power Rangers: Dino Thunder.
Kira hides her pretty femininity behind a tough facade as full of attitude and fire as her idol Avril Lavigne. Yet she's determined to prove she is an individual. She dresses in her own, carefully cultivated neo punk style. She's an amazing singer and plays the guitar as the front person to her own band. Kira uses her biting wit to hide her real emotions, except in her music, which reveals her passion and sensitivity. What she keeps well hidden is that she is struggling with adolescence along with everyone else. At times she can be insecure, hidden behind a "I'm a tough and don't care" attitude, but she also has a great capacity for caring about others. She is intelligent, but does not always apply herself to her schoolwork, except in creative writing, at which she excels.
A romance between Kira Ford and fellow Dino Ranger Trent Mercer was hinted at during the series, but never fully explored.
Kira was a musician at Reefside High School. She found the Yellow Dino Gem when Conner McKnight, Ethan James, and herself were in detention. Dr. Tommy Oliver told them that if they found anything prehistoric that he would cancel detention for the rest of the week. She picked up the Yellow Dino Gem, while Conner and Ethan picked up the red and blue ones. The Yellow Dino Gem bonded with her DNA, giving her the ability of sonic screams. After that, Kira was kidnapped by Mesogog, which forced Conner and Ethan to tell Tommy that they had taken the Dino Gems. Kira escaped from Mesogog's lab and met up with Conner, Ethan, and Tommy. Later, the Dinozords were wreaking havoc on the city. Tommy then gave the Yellow Dino Morpher to Kira, while he gave the red and blue morphers to Conner and Ethan. She morphed into the Yellow Dino Ranger and tamed the Pterazord. As the Yellow Dino Ranger, she controlled the Pterazord, as well as wielding the Ptera Grips and Thundermax Saber in combat.
Kira was the second Dino Ranger to activate the Super Dino Mode enhancements on her suit during a battle with the then-evil White Dino Ranger. When she first unlocked the Super Dino Mode, she could only use it for a short amount of time, but as she grew stronger as a Ranger, her abilities with that enhancement increased as the limitations decreased.
In Leader Of The Whack, a strange meteor crashed on Earth. The meteor had the power to unleash a side of yourself you usually didn't show. For Kira, it was a valley girl persona, giving the viewers a clue that she has a side of intelligence.
In the episode Thunder Struck, Part 2, Kira, like her fellow Rangers, sacrificed her Dino Gem powers to save the Earth from the Mesomonster. After this, she lost all of her powers - including her sonic screams.
At the end of Dino Thunder, Kira is shown to be playing at her High School prom. She later goes on to become a professional singer. In 20 years, she will have become a famous celebrity.
In the year 2025, a criminal named Broodwing purchased the Red, Yellow, and Blue Dino Gems on the planet Onyx. At her one year High School reunion, in the year 2005, Conner, Ethan, and Kira were brought to the future by Broodwing, in the hopes that Broodwing and the Dino Rangers would form an alliance against Space Patrol Delta and Emperor Gruumm. Ethan, Conner, and herself met up with the S.P.D. Rangers. Though their battles are legendary, they had to prove to Anubis Cruger and the other S.P.D. Rangers their true courage. Kira and the other Dino Rangers helped the B-Squad Rangers defeat Emperor Gruumm's largest Krybot army. Kira and the other Dino Rangers used the Z-Rex Blaster on Gruumm, which forced him to retreat. The Dino Rangers offered to stay but can't due to them having to continue their lives in the past. They are told that Conner established a large chain of soccer camps across the country, Kira became a huge singing sensation, and Ethan ended up developing some software that they still use at S.P.D. After this, they were returned to the year 2005, having forgotten the whole incident, because Dr. Kat Manx erased their memories of it. Later Kira again appeared in Wormhole to defeat Zeltrax.

Tommy Oliver
Dr. Thomas "Tommy" Oliver is a fictional character from the universe of the American children's television franchise Power Rangers. He is a main character in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series, as well as four of its successive incarnations Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers, Power Rangers: Zeo, Power Rangers: Turbo, and Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. He also appeared in the Power Rangers: Wild Force episode, Forever Red and the Power Rangers: S.P.D. episode, Wormhole. He has been portrayed by actor Jason David Frank in virtually all of his appearances, but in the episode Wormhole, he appeared only in Ranger form and was voiced by actor Jeffrey Parazzo.
Tommy is the longest-serving Power Ranger, as well as the Power Ranger with the largest arsenal available to him. In that sense, his character is very similar to Fonzie of Happy Days and Urkel of Family Matters in that both started out as supporting characters but soon evolved into their respective shows' breakout characters.
Tommy is strong, loyal, and a highly skilled martial artist, having acted as both student and teacher throughout the series. He was somewhat absent-minded in his teen years, often forgetting things like his Power Morpher, homework, or karate belt (this was sometimes used as a plot device to keep him out of the way and provide a reason for the Green Ranger to come in later, in order to accommodate the Zyu2 footage).
Tommy was first introduced in the Mighty Morphin incarnation as the Green Power Ranger in the mini-saga Green with Evil. As a new student at Angel Grove High School, Tommy faced Jason in a Martial Arts Tournament, catching both Kimberly and Rita's attention. Tommy's fight talent equated that of Jason, prompting Rita to grant him with the Green Ranger powers. Rita Repulsa cast an evil spell to make Tommy loyal to her, granting him limited magic-based powers on top of the Dragon Power Coin. The reason for this is because his Ranger powers were fueled by Rita's dark magic rather than the Morphing Grid, like the other Rangers. Following a battle with the Putties to test his skills, Tommy's given mission was to destroy Zordon, the Command Center, and the Power Rangers, leaving the world defenseless against Rita's conquest.
Tommy would succeed with the majority of his mission, discarding Zordon, demolishing the Command Center, and infecting Alpha with a virus while ejecting the Power Rangers from their own Megazord. His Green Ranger powers gave him an added tool not possessed by the other Rangers, the Dragon Shield. Controlled by the Dragon Dagger, the Dragon Shield promotes advanced healing and can deflect energy attacks. Add to this the ability to generate powerful energy projections, and the Green Ranger was able to contend with all the other Power Rangers at once, only to be warded off by the Megazord.
After the nefarious Scorpina was released from her isolated internment, she and her newly reunited mate Goldar began wreaking havoc together. In a then never-before-seen act of malice, Rita made the Green Ranger grow alongside her henchmen. Together, the trio would decimate the Megazord and send its powerless body plummeting into the Earth's lava-filled core.
Tommy's Dragon Dagger was capable of summoning and controlling his own Zord, the Dragonzord. Once the Rangers' Zords were gone, he summoned his to raise the defenseless city of Angel Grove. Eventually, a newly resurrected Zordon would return the Rangers to their Dinozords after explaining that the Earth's lava naturally healed them. As the Megazord overcame the Dragonzord, Jason would fight Tommy alone in a final battle that saw Jason destroying Tommy's Sword of Darkness, a weapon given to Tommy by Rita that would maintain the spell over Tommy. In order to make reparations for his evil deeds, Tommy agreed to Zordon's rules as for Rangerdom, accepted a communicator from Billy, and dedicated himself and his powers to battling down the wicked Rita Repulsa.
Tommy's fierce fighting abilities were contrasted by his nervousness around Kimberly Hart, the Pink Power Ranger, who he had alienated when he was evil. Kimberly would forgive him for his transgressions, but it wasn't until he lost his Powers to Rita after she used a Green Candle, made of special wax once touched by Tommy, to sever his link to the Morphing Grid, did the Pink Ranger return his affections.
In this encounter involving the Green Candle, Goldar kept the lit item in the Dark Dimension and held Tommy captive there, knowing that his proximity would cause the candle's melting process to accelerate. Jason would make the attempt to get through Goldar to retrieve the candle, but Rita's succession of attacks perpetrated by a monster capable of mimicking every Zord and Zord combination, would prevent him from getting to it in time. As Tommy's powers faded, he was left with one last opportunity to keep the Powers from returning to Rita: he would have to give the Powers over to another individual who possessed a stable link to the Morphing Grid for the Green Ranger powers to function off of. He chose Jason.
Distraught by the loss of the Powers he did not originally seek out, Tommy retreats into isolation at a distant lake, residing for some time in a cabin his Uncle owns. When Rita kidnaps the parents of all the students at Angel Grove High School, the Rangers are forced to acquiesce to Goldar's ransom of their parents for their five Power Coins. After making the personal decision to make the trade, Goldar's deception is revealed when he refuses to return the parents, or the Dragon Dagger Rita had brainwashed Billy into stealing for her. As Goldar commanded the Dragonzord to demolish the defenseless Angel Grove, Jason revealed his own deception: his gambit of defecting his Power Coin to Goldar lead to the oversight that he still possessed the Dragon Coin.
The Rangers recruited Tommy to reclaim his powers and he was assisted by an energy boost from Zordon that would temporarily energize him in replacement of his missing direct link to the Morphin' Grid. However, his powers were very unstable now and had to be recharged several times by Zordon. In using the depleting powers to retrieve the missing items, Tommy reached into a lethal force-field and appeared to have been lethally affected. Eventually, it would be learned that the electrocution he underwent by the force-field, while wearing the Green Ranger powers, revitalized its power source substantially. Tommy could once again reclaim his Powers, provided that he periodically seek regeneration by a donation of Zordon's own energies.
In Season two, his powers were completely destroyed when Lord Zedd trapped Tommy in another dimension, called the Otherworld, as his monster, the Turnbanshell attacked the city (the other Rangers were trapped in a force-field without access to the Morphing Grid as the Command Center was also trapped in a force-field, which was shrinking and threatening to crush it). Zedd used a special crystal to drain the Green Ranger powers and use them to fuel another band of evil Rangers. As a last ditch effort, it was by Tommy's hands that the powers were destroyed when he shattered the crystal, rather than let the Powers it held, his powers, be used for evil like they had been before. In doing this, he spent the last of those powers fulfilling the promise he made to about how to use them once he was free of Rita's influence.
For quite some time, Tommy was absent from helping the other Rangers defeat Zedd's henchmen. However, when Lord Zedd unleashed his maniacal Nimrod monster, which in turn spawned AC and DC, Alpha 5 and Zordon decided it was time to take matters into their own hands.
Luckily for the Rangers, Zordon and Alpha 5 were able to create new powers for Tommy, making him the White Ranger- a Ranger with Powers that cannot be made evil. Upon becoming the White Ranger, Tommy also became the new leader of the Power Rangers. He uses his enchanted talking saber, Saba, to summon the White Tigerzord.
After Jason, Trini, and Zack were chosen to attend a peace conference in Switzerland, replacement Rangers had to be found. These Rangers were Rocky DeSantos, Aisha Campbell, and Adam Park. The Sword of Light was the power source used to transfer the powers. Tommy was the one who activated the power transfer using the sword.
A clone of Tommy was created by the Wizard of Deception, using a lock of Tommy's hair. The clone was then given the power of the Green Ranger, which had previously been believed to be destroyed forever. In truth, Zedd managed to regain the powers and use them to recharge the Dragonzord power coin to its full and complete power. How he did this however was never explained. This was an interesting story because it made Tommy face the evil that he once was and deal with it. Tommy helped his clone realize that even though he was a clone, he was still human and had the power to choose between right and wrong. The clone Tommy (referred to as "Tom") remain in the colonial times of Angel Grove after the two of them traveled back there to save the other Rangers. He kept the Dragonzord coin with him, as well as the powers it held. What happened to him and the coin however was never explained, though it is assumed that the Green Power Coin might have survived and could be active as it was not directly connected to the main morphin grid like the others.
After their Thunderzords were destroyed by Rito Revolto, Tommy and the other Rangers went on a quest to find the legendary Ninjor and receive their Ninja Coins. He gained new powers as the White Ninja Ranger with the power of the Falcon and the Falcon Ninjazord. Tommy met Katherine Hillard at a time when she was also under Rita's spell. Kat used Kimberly Hart's Pink Ninja Power Coin, to steal the Falconzord and did not retrieve it until the Rangers gained the power of Metallic Armor.
After Kat stole the Falconzord and Ninjor, she kidnapped Kimberly. Zedd revived the Shogunzords and ordered the Power Rangers to either use them to destroy Earth or have Kimberly's life force drained away. Billy managed to reprogram the zords to the Rangers' control again. Oliver himself went to retrieve Kimberly from Zedd's Dark Dimension. He fought with Zedd, but Zedd proved to be too powerful for him. Oliver managed to destroy Zedd's Z-Staff, forcing him to retreat, and Oliver escaped with Kimberly. Oliver gained control of the White Shogunzord. Afterwards, Kimberly retired from active Ranger service so that she could compete in gymnastics, passing her powers onto Kat. Kimberly and Oliver maintained a long-distance relationship.
Tommy had to retrieve the Zeo Crystal, which was hidden under Rita and Zedd's Palace. Zordon had told him that only a being who was pure of heart could enter the force field around the crystal and survive. Tommy had to go through the caves of deception to get to the crystal, and when he got to it he wasn't sure if he would survive. He thought that there might still be some evil in him from when he was the Evil Green Ranger. He bravely passed through the force field and retrieved the crystal. Soon after though, Master Vile stole it from him. The Rangers managed to get it back, but wanted to make sure that Master Vile couldn't get it again, so the Rangers split it into five sub-crystals and sent them to different points in history.

[Purple Zordon]

Vile turned back time using the Orb of Doom, turning the Rangers back into children. A young Tommy journeyed to reclaim the Red Zeo Sub-Crystal in a Native American land. For his test, he was given three crystals (two were fakes) and he had to decide which one was real. He retrieved the true Red Sub-Crystal from Sam Trueheart.
Oliver gained the powers of the Red Zeo Crystal, becoming Zeo Ranger V – Red in Power Rangers: Zeo. It was during this time that he & Kimberly separated after she broke up with him in a Dear John Letter. Kat Hillard tried to set him up with another girl, but it failed due to Tommy's intervening Ranger duties. Kat and Tommy would eventually begin courting.
After the Zeo Zords were severely damaged, Tommy alone was left the Red Battlezord, a Zord that was telepathically controlled. He had difficulty learning to operate the mind link and would lose control when becoming emotional. A spirit quest would eventually provide Tommy with the peace of mind needed to control the lone Zord, however, during this journey, Tommy would meet his brother David Trueheart (portrayed by Jason David Frank's real life brother, the late Eric Frank.) King Mondo captured David in order to trap Tommy. After freeing him, Tommy would reveal his identity as a Ranger to David who refused to let a helpless Tommy remain behind. To convince David to flee to safety, Tommy revealed his identity to him. It would then be learned that David had the other half of the arrowhead. Should the two arrowheads be joined, the holder of the arrowhead would control both the spirits trapped within them and a darkness powerful enough to destroy the world.
Tommy would be reunited with his best friend and former-teammates Jason Lee Scott, when the Gold Ranger Trey of Triforia was injured. Tommy would choose Jason who had returned from the Peace Confrence, to temporarily hold the Gold Ranger Powers.
Tommy was later captured by Prince Gasket of the evil Machine Empire and brainwashed fighting his friends, believing them to be the threat to the world. The other Rangers, and especially Kat and Jason, were able to save him though, by de-morphing and surrendering to prove they weren't against him.
With a new villain Divatox at the onset of Power Rangers: Turbo, Tommy and his fellow Rangers abandoned their Zeo powers for the newly created Turbo powers (modeled after Lerigot's key), and becomes the Red Turbo Ranger. Tommy became interested in motor racing following graduation, a hobby he sometimes shares with Justin. His tenure as the Red Turbo Ranger was a short one, with Zordon declaring his duties as a defender of Earth fulfilled. In the episode "Passing the Torch," Divatox captured Tommy after her mother convinced her that removing the leader would be the key to the Power Ranger's defeat. However, T.J. Johnson and Cassie Chan managed to find and rescue him after Kat failed to fend off a group of Pirahnatrons. Before Tommy left, he asked T.J. to become the new Red Ranger, stating, "I wouldn't be standing here today, T.J., if it weren't for your courage and strength. I choose you to lead the team, as the new Red Ranger."
[edit]College
For some time, the preceding years of Tommy's life remained undefined, although his reappearance in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder fills in some of the gaps. Oliver went on to college and graduate school, earning a doctorate in paleontology. During this time, he met Hayley, (who would help him in the creation of the Dino Ranger powers based on parts of older Rangers' powers). He was also partners with Terrence "Smitty" Smith and Dr. Anton Mercer on a dinosaur-related project that would lead to the creation of the Tyrannodrones, Raptor Riders and the new Dinozords. A horrible lab accident leads to the transformation of Dr. Mercer into the evil Mesogog. It would also have Tommy finding the Dino Gems and hiding them in the lab under his basement while learning the location of the Shield of Triumph.
[edit]In Power Rangers: Wild Force
Oliver made his next appearance in the Power Rangers: Wild Force episode "Forever Red". Andros, the Red Space Ranger, recruited Oliver after learning of the resurgent Machine Empire and their plan to unearth Lord Zedd's defunct Zord Serpenterra and use it to invade Earth. Oliver recruited eight previous Red Rangers and the Quantum Time Force Ranger to intervene. To achieve victory, Tommy morphed into Zeo Ranger-V in this episode and fought Gerrok alongside Wes Collins, the Red Time Force Ranger. Tommy destroyed Gerrok with the "Zeo Flying Power Kick."
After the events of "Forever Red," Tommy became a science teacher at a school in the fictional city of Reefside, California at the onset of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. A trio of detention students — Conner McKnight, Ethan James, and Kira Ford — unravel Oliver's past as a Power Ranger after uncovering three artifacts from his lab that turn them into Power Rangers. Oliver recruits these students to become the Dino Rangers. When he discovers that Mesogog is still active, he joins the other Dino Rangers and becomes the Black Dino Ranger, aided by the power of invisibility from the Black Dino Gem. His Dinozord was the Brachiozord carrier, he wielded the Brachio Staff, and he drove the Black Thunder ATV.
When the White Dino Ranger appeared, Tommy's dedication to saving the lives of innocents seemed to give Tommy cause to show no mercy to him, even after he found out his identity was Trent Mercer. For a while, he was encased in amber by the White Dino Ranger, and once freed, was unable to de-morph, due to his Dino Gem and his morpher remolecularizing. He remained in his morphed form for a while.
After seeing the power of the White Ranger Clone and the Terrorsaurus, Tommy decided that the Rangers needed an upgrade. He took Trent to the location of the Shield of Triumph, as the shield could only be freed from its resting place by the power of Trent's Dino Gem. He also had a hunch that Conner was the one destined to control the shield. He was right, as Conner showed up just in time to save the shield from being lost forever. Tommy informed the other Rangers they had to contribute their energies to the shield, and Conner became the Triassic Ranger.
He was later de-morphed by a special substance, but was rendered invisible as a result. An experiment sees the return of Tommy to his natural state, but the process shatters his Dino Gem and renders Tommy comatose. During this time, Tommy would endure several internal battles, facing off against several of his past Ranger egos: the Green and White Power Rangers and Zeo Ranger V – Red. (During each of his fights with those Rangers, the screen was tinted the color that matched the Ranger.) After proving that he would not give up the fight for his life, his opponents each offered him a shattered piece of his Dino Gem. Tommy would awake holding the newly repaired Gem in his hand. As a result, he also gained Super Dino Mode.
When he learned that Trent was hiding his Father's secret identity, Tommy considered asking Trent to surrender his Morpher. Though Tommy came to understand Trent's loyalty, he left the decision of letting Trent stay with the team, to the other Ranger's. They decided to let Trent stay after he saved Conner's life. In a final battle against Zeltrax, Tommy advises the Ranger's that the only means to succeed would be to sacrifice their Zord's. (This may have been a reference to his own Zord sacrifice in Season 3's Ninja Quest, Part 1.) At the end of the series, Tommy destroyed Zeltrax, alongside Kira. The Dino Rangers sacrificed their Dino Gems in order to destroy Mesogog's ultimate form(s). By that point, Mesogog had already managed to separate himself from Dr. Anton Mercer. In the end, Tommy would answer Anton's question of what he would do now by insisting he would pursue the simple life of a high school science teacher.
Tommy's final appearance is in the Power Rangers S.P.D. episode "Wormhole." This is possibly the only appearance where Tommy is not played by Jason David Frank, but is instead voiced by Jeffrey Parazzo who had played Trent in Dino Thunder. Because of this, he is never shown de-morphed. In the episode, the S.P.D. Rangers travel to the past chasing Grumm, and come across the Dino Rangers. Tommy is seen fighting a monster in his morphed state. The S.P.D. Red Ranger, Jack Landors, has heard of Tommy aparently. Tommy fights Grumm and his minions along side Doggy Kruger.

Trent Fernandez-Mercer
Trent Fernandez (commonly referred to as Trent Mercer) is a fictional character in the Power Rangers universe, appearing in the television series Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. He is also the White Dino Ranger. He was played by Jeffrey Parazzo.
Trent was adopted by Dr. Anton Mercer when his real parents were killed in an archeological cave-in, and though he considers Dr. Mercer his father, he kept his original surname. He works at Hayley's Cyberspace as a waiter and draws in his spare time, though he keeps this secret because his father "is in no way supportive of his artistic endeavors." A romance was hinted between Trent and fellow Dino Ranger, Kira Ford, but was never fully explored.
Trent became suspicious of his father's bizarre comings and goings. While attempting to investigate, he was taken through an invisi-portal into Mesogog's lab. He found a Dino Gem that was intended to be bonded with Mesogog; however, Trent became bonded to it instead. Trent found himself uncontrollably morphing into the White Dino Ranger. As the White Dino Ranger, he controls the Dragozord and the Stegazord, rides the White Thunder ATV, uses the Drago Sword and his Gem Power is Camouflage.
Soon, the evil power of the Dino Gem he had found took control, and he was turned compeletly evil. He worked solo for awhile, trying to destroy both the Dino Rangers and Mesogog's forces. He even made a deal with Zeltrax, saying that if he helped Zeltrax destroy Tommy Oliver, Zeltrax said he would help him destroy Mesogog. This plan failed though and Zeltrax told Mesogog of the deal. He was given an ultimatum by Mesogog saying that if he didn't join him, he would be destroyed. After this he served Mesogog, knowing that his father was Mesogog's alter-ego, for a time. He and Zeltrax frequently clashed over who was second-in-command, which ended when Zeltrax messed up Mesogog's lab and framed Trent for it.
Mesogog drained the White Ranger's powers once he believed that Trent had betrayed him. During the draining process Mesogog turned back into Dr. Anton Mercer, and moved the drain device causing the energy to reflect off things in the lab and land back into the morpher with an explosion. Trent became good again, helping the other Dino Rangers per his father's request. After that Trent joined the Power Rangers as per his father's request. He became the fourth Dino Ranger to unlock the Super Dino Mode during a fight with the Copyotter. He proved his trueness as Zeltrax was about to kill Tommy, Trent stepped in and saved his life. After this the other Rangers decided to trust Trent.
After this, Zeltrax created a clone of the White Ranger, saying "he has no trace of Trent Mercer in him." This clone had control of the Dragozord and Stegozord during this time, as he frequently used them against the Rangers. When Zeltrax created the clone it caused a glitch in the Morphing Grid; an exact clone of a Ranger can't exist. Because of this glitch, the White Ranger clone would lose control of the Dragozord, so he frantically hunted down Trent, until he found him. The clone challenged him, and the both of them battled each other, with the clone using Super Dino Mode. Trent fought honorably, until he became the victor and restored his powers to normalcy.
Trent kept his father's secret, even from the other Rangers, which eventually led to them mistrusting him again when they found out. He gained their trust back after telling them why he kept it from him and after he saved Conner from a monster.
Trent spied on Mesogog, to learn that he had split himself from Dr. Mercer. With the revelation of this, the Rangers sped up their plans to destroy Mesogog's lab. Trent had made a deal with Mesogog that if he gave him the Dino Gems, then he would release his father. He told the other Rangers that if he gave him the Gems, he could open up an invisi-portal for them so that they could destroy his lab. The plan worked out exactly as planned and Trent saved his father.
In the episode Thunder Struck, Part 2, Trent, like his fellow Rangers, sacrificed his Dino Gem powers to save the Earth from the Mesomonster. After this, he lost all of his powers - including his camouflage abilities.
At the end of Dino Thunder, Trent is revealed to be going to art school in the fall, and his father is perfectly happy with it.
In the episode Wormhole, Trent and the other Dino Rangers team up with the SPD Rangers to battle the united forces of Zeltrax and Emperor Gruumm. He teamed up with the Omega Ranger, but following their victory had his memory of the battle erased.

Looks great Bobby, but I find two things that need to be changed, one is with Tommy, we don't need to know anything more than what he did as a Dino Ranger, the other is that Trent, even though he was adopted by Anton Mercer, still goes under the name of Fernandez.
