The Mighty Morphin Power rangers have also joined the Justice League. They are currently training the ThunderCats. When their signal is in the sky, it summons Keith, Laurie, Chris, and Tracy Partridge, and Bill Engvall into action. Their costumes are slightly different than their mentors, but gives a definite identity to Keith, Laurie, Chris, and Tracy Partridge, and Bill Engvall as the Red, Pink, Black, Yellow, and Blue ThunderCats. The exceptions: The helmets match their power sources: Red: Lion; Pink: Cheetah; Black: Leopard; Yellow: Cougar; Blue: Tiger. Boots & Gloves match each uniform in color. Tracy also wears a skirt with her outfit. Their bikes: Keith: Red 1; Laurie: Pink 2; Chris: Black 3: Tracy: Yellow 4; Bill: Blue 5. They probably won't ever use the dune buggy. Their inspirations and mentors are the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Left to right, they are, in order: Zack Taylor, the Black Mastodon Ranger, and Chris's mentor; Tommy Oliver, the White Tiger Ranger and Jason Lee Scott, the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger, and Keith's senseis; Billy Cranston, the Blue Triceratops Ranger / Green Lantern, and Bill's tutor; Trini Kwan, the Yellow Sabretooth Ranger, and Tracy's teacher; and Kimberly Hart, the Pink Pterodactyl Ranger, Tommy's fiancée, and Laurie's source of power information. Not Pictured here, is Samantha Dean, the Purple Stegosaurus Ranger.

Trini Kwan (Yellow Ranger)
Weapons: Power Daggers, Chakram.

Zords: Sabertoothed Tiger DinoZord / Griffin ThunderZord

Height : 5'3"
Weight : 110 lbs.

Eyes: Green

Hair: Black

Tracy Partridge (Yellow Cougar ThunderCat)
Weapons: ThunderDaggers.

Zords: Yellow Cougar ThunderZord / Yellow ShogunZord

Eyes: Green

Hair: Light Red

Trini is a very kind, patient and also very cute girl. Though she is very calm, she is also a very strong and powerful fighter. When fighting her enemies, she is very quick and her hands move as fast as lightning. And when she morphs into the Yellow Ranger her speed, strength and durability increases making her more powerful. When Trini isn't fighting Rita's monsters, she likes to hang out with her friends at the Angel Grove Youth Center, where she also learns Kung Fu.

Tracy spends a lot of time with Trini, learning some of the ways of the power, and learning most importantly about honor, grace, discipline, and that helping humanity is the greatest reward.

Trini is a one-of-a-kind Ranger, as no one after her managed to capture her quiet strength and intelligence. Her nature is peaceful; only when battle is the only option does she display her impressive physical ability, honed by years of Kung fu training. What characterizes Trini most seems to be the affection she feels for her friends and family, and her sense of honor. In nearly every aspect of her life, her relationships are at the fore, whether it be her cousin Silvia, her uncle Howard, or even her sisterly bond with Kimberly or uniquely strong friendship with Billy, or her tutoring of Tracy Partridge in the use of her Cougar powers.. In all cases, her attachments are fierce, and both her vulnerability and strength are shown in just how much she cares for those around her. Also, her strong sense of honor and responsibility are emphasized, as she strives to set good examples to the youths in her care, or live up to the codes of honor she respects.

The Power Daggers are the Yellow Ranger's Power Weapons. Trini received them when the Rangers Blade Blasters alone were insuficient against Rita's troops. When again the Yellow Ranger needed more Powerful Weapons the Power Daggers were replaced by much stronger but identical counterparts. Similar daggers have been awarded to Tracy, the Yellow ThunderCat. Both pairs of Power Daggers also can link up with the rest of their Power Weapons to form either the Power Blaster, or the Thunder Blaster.

Having her training conducted by Trini, Tracy Partridge, the Yellow ThunderCat, is the most impressionable of the five. Learning that helping humanity is it's own reward, she only attacks when there is no other option, preferring to use more nonviolent means to defeat her opponents, putting her daggers to more helpful means. Having seen more violence than she thought possible in her 2 months thus far, she has vowed to try and prevent as much as possible.

Zack Taylor (Black Ranger)

Height : 5'6"

Zack is the funniest member of the team. He always likes to make his friends laugh, especially when Bulk and Skull embarrass themselves in public. Zack's greatest hobby is music and dance. He is also a good Martial Artist and he can combine his love for music and dance with his Martial Arts to create his own battle style "Hip Hop Kido", which is very useful when fighting Rita's monsters. Zack also has a girlfriend called Angela. He loves to go on dates with her, but sometimes Zack has to sacrifice his dates for his duties as a Power Ranger (which makes Angela very angry). Chris receives his mentoring from Zack, who tells him it is an honor to protect the Earth, and humanity…but always try to have a little fun doing so in the process. Zack brings a sense of fun to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers that is unique. Of course, none of the Rangers are entirely serious, but only Zack is able to brighten the mood without making a mockery out of a serious situation. Instead, he retains a foot-loose and fancy-free outlook, insisting on seeing the bright side and encouraging his friends to do the same when challenges seem insurmountable. And when on the battlefield, his highly stylized personal form of martial arts, Hip-Hop-Kido, plows down many a Putty Patroller, and his versatile Power Ax gets the Rangers out of many a jam.

When the uniforms are off, Zack really gets a chance to shine. Whether he's trash-talking on the basketball court, sweet-talking the lovely Angela, dancing on stilts, guiding Chris Partridge in how to use his powers of the Leopard, or making Bulk and Skull squeal at the sight of a rubber spider, he brings a smile to everyone's face. That natural charm and love for life makes him most memorable.

The Power Axe is the Black Ranger's Power Weapon. It was given to Zack when the Rangers needed more to aid them against Rita's Monsters. The Power Axe can be used as a regular axe or as a Cannon that shoots Powerful Energy blasts. When Rita's Monsters were too strong it was replaced by an exact copy of much more Power. Chris, the Black ThunderCat was given a similar weapon. When the Monsters are too tough they can link up with their other Power Weapons to form either the Power Blaster or the Thunder Blaster.

At 13, Chris Partridge practically idolizes his older brother, Keith, has a fondness for his sisters, Laurie and Tracy, and sees Bill as the father he wishes he had. Zack's views on life already mesh well with his own, and he tries to have fun while helping others and fighting evil. Wielding his axe with amazing skill, Chris's enemies underestimate him due to his size…and usually pay for that too.

Kimberly Hart (Pink Ranger)
Weapon: Power Bow.

Zords: Pterodactyl DinoZord / FireBird ThunderZord

Height : 5' 2"
Weight : 105 lbs

Eyes: Brown

Hair: Light Brown

Laurie Partridge (Pink Cheetah ThunderCat)
Weapon: ThunderBow.

Kimberly once came off as a ditzy and materialistic girl, but when she became a Power Ranger she evolved into a strong and courageous person. Kimberly often worries a great deal for her fellow Rangers and doesn't take kindly for people who mess with her friends, or even herself. Kimberly has a love interest in Tommy. When she first saw him at the Martial Arts Expo competition she thought he was "cute". Later after Tommy joined the Power Rangers as the Green Ranger, Tommy and Kimberly became lovers. Kimberly's greatest hobby is Gymnastics, and her skill in gymnastics makes her a stronger Power Ranger. Laurie is in the good mentoring hands of Kimberly. She reminds her to always keep speaking your mind, never let anyone steer you away from your opinion, and like Zack tells Chris, try to have a little fun. Kimberly has really matured during her career as the Pink Ranger so far. In her early days, she was rather shallow and immature... the epitome of the "Valley Girl." But that turned out to be a cover for a girl who cared for humanity, and loved adventure. That cover soon melted away completely, and Kim became a caring, selfless hero. With natural grace and agility, coupled with her open heart and mind, Kim blossomed as the Pink Ranger with the spirit guides of the Pterodactyl and the Firebird. Kim is the ideal teacher for Laurie Partridge to handle her powers of the Cheetah.

Kimberly enthusiastically participated in school activities, just as she does now as a college freshman. Her cheerleading ability was almost legendary in junior high school, and she was also involved in a gardening club and the organization of pep rallies. She starred in the production of "Rumplestiltskin," and even won the election for student body president. In the Youth Center, she often practiced gymnastics and sometimes taught step aerobics. In addition to overall athleticism, Kim can "speak" sign language, cook, sing, and play the guitar.

The Power Bow is the Power Weapon of the Pink Ranger. Given to Kimberly to further enhance her Powers the Power Bow can shoot powerful arrows or can be used in hand to hand combat. As Rita's Power grew Kimberly's weapon was just not strong enough so Zordon replaced it with an exact duplicate of far greater Power. An exact copy was given to Laurie, the Pink ThunderCat. Both Power Bows help form the Power Blaster or the Thunder Blaster with the other Rangers/ ThunderCats Power weapons.

It seems that Kimberly has taught Laurie Partridge well. Already agile, she has become a top gymnast and martial artist. Still nonviolent in most of her dealings, make no mistake: Laurie will get down and dirty when the situation absolutely calls for it. Like Chris, she sees Bill as the father she never had, and sees Kimberly in a sisterly role. Developing a sophisticated sense of humor, Laurie is fast becoming someone you would want as a friend.

Jason teaches Martial Arts at the Angel Grove Youth Center. Jason's knowledge of Martial Arts and his skills make him a very powerful Ranger. He is well self disciplined and courageous and whenever it seems he and his fellow Rangers are losing against Rita and her forces, Jason never gives up until his enemies are defeated. Which is why Zordon chose Jason to become the Red Ranger and take lead of the Power Rangers. Jason is the first Power Ranger. True, he was offered the Power the same time as Billy, Zack, Kim, and Trini, but he was the one who welcomed the weighty duty of defending Earth. He recognized his chance to make a difference in the world, and while his friends were skeptical of Zordon and his tidings of evil aliens, he was prepared to go on faith. His leadership qualities shone from the moment he took the morpher, and he continues to blaze new trails as the co-commander of the Power Rangers. He is the rock upon which his friends relies, exemplifying courage and always taking the greatest risk when times seem the darkest. And under his command the Rangers gained their footing, becoming the fighting force that was celebrated by the civilians of Angel Grove for their heroic deeds. Ultimately, this is why Zordon chose him to train Keith Partridge in the use of his Lion powers.

The Power Sword is the Red Ranger's Power Weapon. It was originally presented to Jason by Zordon when he saw their Blade Blasters were not strong enough. Zordon then replaced it with an exact duplicate that was much more Powerful. Identically, Keith, the Red ThunderCat has one like it, except his has a summoning device called the Eye of Thunderra. When all else fails they act as the key weapons in the Power Blaster and the Thunder Blaster.

Tommy was a Martial Arts expert almost as strong as Jason. When he and Jason were competing in a Martial Arts Expo competition, it came to a draw. When Rita watched the competition through her telescope on the moon, this inspired her to put Tommy under an evil spell and give him the 6th Power Coin, morphing him into the Green Ranger. As the Green Ranger, Tommy fought the Power Rangers, on Rita's side. It was a huge and difficult battle, but in the end, the Power Rangers discovered the Green Ranger's true identity. Jason then managed to break Rita's spell by destroying the Power Sword. Now that the spell was broken, Tommy joined the Power Rangers and helped them fight Rita and her monsters, as the Green Ranger. Because of this, Rita felt betrayed. So to get her revenge she drained the Green Ranger's powers using the Green Candle. Jason tried to stop the candle from burning, but failed. Tommy had no other choice but to give up his Power Coin and leave the team. But later he had to re-join the team after Rita tricked the Power Rangers into giving up their Power Coins. Zordon re-powered the Green Ranger, but it was only for a temporary time. Later, the Green Ranger's powers have completely drained, making it difficult for the Rangers to fight their new enemy, Lord Zedd. Zordon and Alpha felt it was necessary to create new White Ranger powers for Tommy. As the White Ranger, he was much stronger than he was before, and his powers can never be taken away by the forces of evil. Before he became a Power Ranger legend, Tommy Oliver was the quiet, reserved Green Ranger. His role during the first year was the ever-ready backup Ranger, always poised with his trusted Dragon Dagger to aid his friends against evil. His dominance in battle made him the target of many plots, which typically involved ridiculous kidnappings and evasions at the hands of the Putty Patrol to buy the Monster of the Day a few extra minutes to fight the Rangers before the Ultrazord could wipe him out. However, Rita eventually played her Trump card, the Green Candle, and forced into retirement. Yet, Tommy showed the resilience and dedication that eventually became his signature when he prevailed through two devastating power losses, his building confidence earning him the White Tiger Coin, the only Coin to be directly created by Zordon. With his restored powers came a new burden, as he stepped into Jason's shoes as the co-leader of the Power Rangers. He continues to co-lead the ever-changing team, even in helping Jason guide Keith in his use of the Power.

Saba is the Power Weapon of Tommy the White Ranger. Since Saba is alive he assists the White Ranger in battle as well as helps control the Tiger Zord. Saba can also be used as a regular sword or as a ray gun because he can shoot Powerful energy beams from his eyes. Saba can fly as he demonstrated in freeing Tommy from the Purse Monsters energy ropes

Jason & Tommy are Keith's advisors. As warriors, leaders, and friends, they are a good source of inspiration to the Red Lion ThunderCat.

The unofficial leader of the ThunderCats, Keith Partridge is still uncomfortable with that title. Under the watchful eyes of both Tommy and Jason, the Red ThunderCat is quite a skilled warrior, excelling in American style Karate, and Tiger Kung Fu, with several black belts to his name. He prefers never to fight in anger, taking Wonder Woman's philosophy to heart (The better you can fight, the less you will have to). Keith suprises Laurie with a feminist streak, and sees Bill as an older brother.

Samantha Dean (Purple Ranger)
Weapon: Sonic slings.

Zords: Stegasaurus DinoZord / MedusaZord

Height : 5' 8"
Weight : 127 lbs

Eyes: Dark Blue

Hair: Dark Brown

Free spirited Samantha started out life as a teen model. She came to Angel Grove to being life anew, for some semblance of normal life. That was not to be the case, as Rita tried to kidnap her and make her an evil Ranger. Zordon, however, rescued Samantha 1st , and retrieved the Purple power coin. Giving it to her, Samantha became the Purple ranger, and for her 1st 2 adventures, she kept her identity secret from the others. Jason, who she had a crush on, discovered her secret when she was called into action to save the other Rangers, of course, she found out that Jason was the Red Ranger. For awhile, this brought them together, until Lord Zedd came into the picture, not only wiping out Tommy's Green Ranger Powers, but driving a wedge between the Red & Purple Rangers. Even after Tommy's return as the White Ranger, Jason & Samantha have come to realize that they are best to be friends…nothing more. Wild, brash, an outrageous sense of humor best describes Samantha. The best person to compare her with would be Phoebe Halliwell, as both have the same traits and attitudes. Like Phoebe, Samantha is a romantic and a dreamer with a rich, poetic imagination. She has no fear of anyone or anything. She'll try anything once, twice if she had a good time. Her motto is: "Don't complain, never explain." And she trusts herself -- always has, always will. She's adventurous, curious, charming, funny, magnetic, proud and completely confident. She's also a smart-ass and very rebellious. To her credit, she can make the best out of any situation, no matter how bad or hopeless it may seem. Samantha is a true original, one of a kind, and happy to stay that way. It's not that Samantha dances to the beat of a different drummer, she's dancing to an entirely different band!

She has an electric vitality and her intuition is remarkable, radiant and alive. It lends her an otherworldly sort of beauty. It is one of the strongest aspects of her whole character and is felt powerfully by everything she does.

Samantha's weapons are her power slings, both capable of delivering concussive blasts of powerful, destructive energy. Like the other Rangers' weapons, hers can link up to form the Power Blaster.

Billy Cranston (Blue Ranger)
Weapons: Power Lance, Oan Power Ring w/Power Battery.

Zords: Triceratops DinoZord / Unicorn ThunderZord

Height : 5' 10"
Weight : 170 lbs

Eyes: Blue (originally wore glasses, now wears contact lenses.)

Hair: Blond

Protégé:

Bill Engvall (Blue Tiger ThunderCat)
Weapons: ThunderLance.

Zords: Blue Tiger ThunderZord / Blue ShogunZord

Height : 6' 3"
Weight : 170 lbs

Eyes: Blue

Hair: Brown (shade varies, including goatee.)

Billy is the most intelligent member of the team. It was his intelligence that qualified him to become a Power Ranger, because no battle can be won without brilliant planning. Billy's favorite subject at school was science and his hobbies involved doing experiments at his laboratory. Because Billy was so intelligent, he can be able to create new arsenals and accessories which the Power Rangers can be able to use against their enemies, as well as repair broken arsenals. As well as being good at science, Billy is also good at Martial Arts (though he is not as much of an expert as Jason) and when he morphs into the Blue Ranger, his fighting skills increase. Though basically he is the mentor, Billy is also learning from his ThunderCat student, Bill Engvall, about overcoming his shyness, speaking his mind without techno-babble, and to harness his own wild sense of humor.

Billy's genius and creativity eclipses the majority of scientists that exist in reality. Some of the devices he whipped up include the flying Volkswagon the Rad Bug, the communicators the Rangers used through Zeo, a hologram, a brain-switching machine, the Portal-Com, which penetrated both Rita and Zedd's Dark Dimensions… and that's merely the tip of the iceberg. And let's not forget his impressive vocabulary, memory, and the ease with which he masters new technology, and rises to new difficulties. It isn't a surprise that the Guardians of the Universe chose him to have a Power Ring, and become a Green Lantern, as well as train Bill Engvall in the use of the power of the Tiger.

The Power Lance is one of the Power Weapons of Billy the Blue Ranger. Billy was given the Power Lance because a Blade Blaster just wasn't enough against Rita's Monsters. It could be used as one or two weapons because it split apart. The Power Lance got replaced by a more Powerful yet exact copy of itself. Another lance is owned by Bill, the Blue ThunderCat. They contribute to the Power Blaster or the Thunder Blaster, along with the other Rangers weapons. Billy's other weapon is the Oan Power Ring he wears on his right hand ring finger. Billy is also a Green Lantern.

Sometimes with his goatee, sometimes without it, Bill is 2nd in command of the ThunderCats. Although like the others he is an excellent martial artist, Bill prefers to use a sort of Wild West fighting style known as barroom brawling, and bare knuckle boxing. The Blue ThunderCat is bowled over that Keith, Laurie, Chris, and Tracy have taken to him so quickly, and has a thing for their mother, Shirley. He and Danny Partridge, however do NOT get along…at all, despite Bill's sense of humor, and his friendly attitude towards most people (politicians being the one exception…he can't stand any of them and says all politicians should be strapped to chairs and made to watch 'Little House On The Prairie', and 'Seinfeld' until their minds implode). Bill Engvall has come into his own since becoming the Blue ThunderCat, but now he's gonna have a lot of explaining to do to Jeff and Larry, especially when an emergency comes up. He has since become a romantic interest for Shirley.

The Power Rangers have been personally matched to their weapons by Zordon. The ThunderCats weapons are the exact same as the Power Rangers, with one exception: Keith's sword has the Eye of Thundera, which can summon the other ThunderCats at a moment's notice. In order, both Zack and Chris each have a Power Axe, both of which double as a cannon, Trini and Tracy both have Power Daggers, Jason & Keith both have Power Swords, Kimberly & Laurie both have Power Bows, both of which can fire taser or lightning arrows, and Billy and the Blue ThunderCat have Power Lances. Like the PR, the ThunderCats weapons come together to form the ThunderBlaster, a weapon of great power, energy, and range.

Shirley is not too crazy about this, at first, but realizing that they will probably do this anyway, she asks the Rangers and Wonder Woman to train and guide them in the use of their powers. There are 3 rules that, like the Rangers, they must follow:

1: NEVER use your powers for personal gain(which is why Danny is not asked to join).

2: NEVER enter a battle unless you have absolutely no choice, and…

3: Keep your identity secret at all times. With the exception of Shirley, the Rangers, the Charmed ones, and the Justice League, no one can know that they are ThunderCats.

Like any good mother, Shirley will panic when 4 of her children race off to fight the forces of evil, holidays will set her off the most, and feel a great sense of relief when the danger is over, and they are safely back home. She won't try and talk them out of this, because they are her children, they are like her in most aspects, and, deep down, if given the chance, she would do they same thing they are doing.

More to come. Later.
