Going on to become leader of the group in the show, the character of Tommy Oliver has endured over the decades to the point where the now 44-year-old Frank says he can book up to 40 Comic Con or similar exhibition appearances per year. It was pure genius.Īlthough not starring in the original few episodes when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers hit screens in the summer of 1993, Jason David Frank was soon introduced as Tommy Oliver, primarily the evil Green Ranger, then returning as the force-for-good White one and has arguably become the franchise's most recognisable face. If you are a child of the Nineties, you'll remember there was only one reason to wake up early on a Saturday morning and that was to see your favourite karate heroes take on that week's evil forces before summing up the episode's moralistic message with a jovial scene ending in guffaws of laughter. For some of us, though, it never really went away. HAVING ENJOYED AN unexpected big screen return last year, the Power Rangers universe is currently experiencing a mainstream resurgence.
