One fan-favorite element of the old show was noticeably absent from what has been shown ofMighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Revengeso far, and that is the original sixth Ranger, Tommy Oliver. Played by the late Jason David Frank, Tommy was introduced midway through thefirst season ofMMPRas the Green Ranger, helping to propel the already massive series to new heights thanks to his impressive karate skills and fearsome Dragonzord battle mech. Tommy would appear in several follow-up seasons before Jason David Frank’s passing in late 2022, taking on new suits and roles in the never-ending battle against evil.
In honor of National Power Rangers Day,Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewinddeveloper Digital Eclipse has at last confirmed that Tommy Oliver will be playable in his original Green Ranger form in a new press release. By completing theRita’s Rewindstory campaignonce, fans will be able to replay levels as the Green Ranger, and Tommy’s introductory story arc has been incorporated into the game’s plot. For those who don’t know, Tommy debuted in the five-episode “Green With Evil” storyline, where he was initially brainwashed by the evil Rita Repulsa as a minion who nearly destroyed the Rangers before joining the side of good.
