Dr. Thomas "Tommy" Oliver is a veteran Power Ranger and considered a legend among the Ranger community. He is often considered to be the greatest Power Ranger of all time, having been part of four Power Rangers teams through the years.
Originally used for evil purposes by Rita Repulsa, Tommy quickly turned good and helped the Rangers in defeating the forces of darkness. In doing so, not only did Tommy prove himself to be a worthy ally, but he became exactly the kind of leader the Rangers needed and was therefore promoted, taking command from the original leader, Jason Lee Scott. Tommy had gone through a number of power variations over the years. Originally, he was the Green Power Ranger. When those powers ran dry, he became the White Power Ranger, the White Ninja Ranger, the Red Zeo Ranger, and the first Red Turbo Ranger.
After Tommy's tenure as a Ranger was completed, he went to college where he received a Doctorate in Paleontology in a mere six years. He later traveled to Reefside and, in an effort to stop some of his mutations, became the mentor of a new set of Power Rangers. He later took up the mantle of a Ranger once more and became the Black Dino Ranger. After Tommy's adversary, Mesogog, was defeated, he retired and is now a normal high school teacher at Reefside.
