Please note there will not be any more titles with numbers after this one. This was just my way of celebrating breaking the Hundreds barrier. Now let's talk more about Tommy Oliver. For the initial introduction see my early post- "Tommy Oliver Lighting in a Bottle". Tommy Oliver first came on to the scene in The five-part miniseries "Green With Evil." This started a big title trend on Power Rangers of having Colors in episode names. A trend which continues to this very day. Tommy has been a star of many Color titled episodes himself. Including "Green with Evil", "Green No More" "White Light", and "Back in Black." Tommy was in both of the Feature-length movies and he had a cameo in the 2017 reboot film. He was featured in three Mighty Morphin Direct to video specials. He released two Karate work-out videos on VHS for fans. I still have a copy of The White Ranger Kata Tape and watch it often. He has appeared in a total of Two-hundred and Thirty one Cannon episodes. Tommy made small cameos for Mighty Morphin "Doomsday" and Super Megaforce "Legendary War". Tommy was revealed as the mission leader in Wild Force "Forever Red."
Tommy has controlled ten Zords. Tommy has fought seven Evil Generals. Tommy has had four Cannon Love Interests. There are many Stories on Fanfiction.net of other girls falling for him. Want to read Power Rangers Fan Fiction-https://www.fanfiction.net/tv/Power-Rangers/? There are many cool stories. I personally support Six Tommy Fannon pairs. Tommy has fought in five epic finale battles! Tommy was featured in last Year's Anniversary event "Dimensions in Danger." This story shows Tommy using a Master Morpher which allows him Access to all his Ranger Forms. According to classic video boxes Tommy was said to be 17 during season one in 1993. By "Dimensions in Danger" he should be about 42. Tommy has been played by two alternative actors. Young Tommy featured in the Alien Rangers episodes was played by Michael J'Olaskey III. Jeffery Parazzo also known to fans as Trent Frenandez took over and voiced the Black Ranger during The Dino Thunder and SPD team-up "Wormhole." Tommy got a small reference during "Once A Ranger". Tommy has been captured many times and led several missions to rescue friends. Tommy has been mind-controlled by evil Forces four times and has fought four evil duplicates of himself. Tommy was also in the Power Rangers Live-on-stage tour which visited several US cities and was released on VHS. I still have a copy of that too. Tommy has fought in many tag battles. Famous partners include Jason, Zack, Billy, Adam, Rocky, Kimberly, Kat, Justin, Wes, Conner, Ethan, and Kira. Wow, that's a lot! Go Tommy! He's a hero through and through. Plenty more Tommy articles will be featured in the future! JDF has been a hero to me for years now and Power Rangers wouldn't be as special to me if he had never been a part of it!
What a lot of details you remember about Tommy. I guess beyond the statistics, I would like to read more about his character. Does he act differently from the other Rangers? Is there something special the girls see in him? What part of his character inspires you?
Congratulations on #101. And great that the facebook post notifies us and gives a link right to the blog post.
