With the greatest respect to everyone else out there who has ever held a Morpher, there's no Power Ranger more iconic than Tommy Oliver. As played by the late, great Jason David Frank, Tommy appears in more iterations of the Power Rangers franchise than anyone else, usually switching up his Ranger forms along the way. He was the Red Zeo and Turbo Rangers, the Black Dino Thunder Ranger, and most famously, he served as both the Green and White Rangers on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
In MMPR alone, Tommy went from being Rita Repulsa's brainwashed pawn to using his Green Ranger powers for good, before completing his redemption by leading the Rangers himself as the White Ranger. Seeing as his Green Ranger form was so beloved by fans, though, what was the reason for the wardrobe change in the first place? And, what's more, where did Tommy's White Ranger powers even come from? Although the show itself skirts over both these questions, the answers are out there.
The brightly colored heroes are iconic in Power Rangers, but why are Blue, Red, and Yellow Rangers so common?
After debuting in MMPR Season 1, Episode 17, "Green With Evil, Part 1," Tommy continued on as the Green Ranger until Season 2, Episode 13, "Green Ranger No More, Part 2," when Lord Zedd finally destroyed the Green Ranger powers for good. This briefly seemed like the end of the Ranger road for Tommy, as he even left Angel Grove to find new purpose in life.
