Bio: When Desperate situations calls for it, you have to Fight Fire with Fire. That was Rita's though when her First battle against the Power Rangers left her severely weak. She began to rely on the monsters created by Finster, probably her most devoted Follower, who took care of her during her injured state. As time went on however, The Rangers became more efficient in the Battle Against Rita, with each conflict, their strength grew stronger, and so does their bond together. Rita's hand was being forced, Still too weak to engage the Rangers herself, Rita knew that just tear the rangers apart wouldn't work by this point, she needed to break their fighting spirit. She needed to create an opponent equal in power to them, She didn't like the idea, but there were no other alternatives, She needed her own Ranger.

She commanded her followers to search for the perfect candidate, someone with no previous ties to the Rangers who could be easily turned, and eventually, she found her perfect choice. Tommy Oliver was the new kid in Angel Grove, who quickly attracted the eyes of his companions with his cold attitude and lone wolf persona. Like Kimberly, who developed a crush on the new guy, Tommy has abandonment issues, due to being adopted at a tender age, he never knew his true family and the only memento he had of them was half of an arrowhead. Though he love his foster mother, there was a lot of anger and resentment inside Tommy and Rita took advantage of that to drawn him to her control.

After testing his combat skills with a horde of Putties, Rita begun to induced powefull Nightmares on Tommy, making him lose sleep and slowly bringing to the light his darkest side. over time, Tommy begun to change his attitude towards people. He begun repelling those close to him and became more prompt to anger. Kimberly, who begun to see Tommy on her spare time, was oblivious of Rita's hand on the situation and she just deamed Tommy as yet another jerk. That same night, Tommy was called upon by the powers of Rita, who with the promise of a life whole and full with his true family, she granted him the powers of the Great Dragon and turned him into the Evil Green Ranger.

Without the primary source of her magic, Rita was relying on the Green Ranger to achieve her goals. At first, The Green Ranger proved to be a game changing asset, switching the tides on Rita's favor. He wrecked the Command Center, cutting the rangers off of Zordon's guidance, Destroyed both Alpha and their Zords and kidnaped Jason out of Jealousy, traping him inside a Pocket Universe known as the Dark Dimension. Rita seemed to have won, but then something unexpected began to happen. Whether the spell was starting to weakening or Tommy was fighting it, The green Ranger has hesitate into killing the Pink Ranger, after knowing it was Kimberly behind the armor, Tommy just coudn't finish the job and draw back full of doubts. In response to that Treason, Finster suggest to Rita to use the Sword of Darkness to stripped Tommy away of his remaining humanity and regain control over him.

The sword did its job and Tommy was back on the side of Rita, this time, nothing would distract him of his mission. To further exhaust the Rangers, Rita gave Tommy the recently rediscovered Dragonzord to drawn the Rangers into fight him. The final Battle took place in Tokyo, where the Dragonzord leveled the entire City until his rampage was stopped by Billy and Trini who managed to sneak into the Dragonzord and sabotage it from the inside. Even though they were now aware of his identity, The Power Rangers did not hold back any blows, they quickly Defeated Tommy and Jason destroyed the sword, finally releasing Tommy from the spell.

GO GREEN RANGER GO. At last he is finally here, the man, the myth, the most overrated Ranger EVER. Don't get me wrong, i don't hate Tommy nor his actor, is just that i never get how he was hyped so much, it got to the point that he basically hijacked the Show and, at least to me personally, he was never that interesting of a Character (in MMPR through Turbo at least, Tommy in Dino Thunder is another story). He wasn't bad, i remind you, he is just a bit overrated, however, it'll being very disrespectful on my part not acknowledged the impact the Green With Evil Saga left in the show. Even though that story is dragged as fuck, it was the first time the Rangers were against the ropes, it was the first time i felt the Rangers were in actual danger, as opposed to the other monsters were it almost seemed like they weren't breaking a sweat (especially with the putties)

Like i said with the Daisuke micro, Tommy's Ranger armor belongs to the Elite, a group of Rangers whos rank and power were above the regular one, and concidering the Rangers we know are wearing Prototypes, you can tell there is a huge gap in power level. Design wise, the shield is actually part of the armor, rather than a separate piece, so unlike the show, he can't gave it to Jason or Zack.

Story wise, i wanted Tommy's transition to Evil to be more gradual and more natural, unlike the show when, cementing the tradition of all brainwashed Rangers to come, the kind and friendly Tommy goes into dick mode the minute he is turn evil, and yet the Rangers never figured out who he is until the end of part 4. I also took inspirations from other sixth Rangers while crafting Tommy's personality, mostly Merrick and Trent, who also went through a similar arc during their run. The comics had an influence in me, but not by much, only by the fact that after he joins the team, The Rangers don't fully trust them.

So yeah, i have Lord Zedd ready, i will put it here at a later time and that would be it for Power Rangers for now, and Don't worry, i do want to make Rita's gang and the putties, but for now Zedd would be the end.

Enjoy
