Zack Taylor was the original Mighty Morphin Black Ranger.

History[]

Zack was born in Washington, D.C. on May 3. Growing up, he found a deep appreciation for music - everything from rap to rock 'n' rollers like Elton John and Billy Joel. His favorite, though, was hip hop, since he found it easiest to dance to.

MMPR/TMNT[]

Zack and the other Rangers lamented the absence of their missing comrade, Tommy Oliver, the Green, sixth Ranger, while battling one of Rita's monsters, Apocalyptopus. They destroyed the monster by combining their weapons into the Power Blaster.

When Zordon and Alpha 5 had finally tracked down Tommy after he morphed, they saw him fighting four mutant turtles on a rooftop in New York City, and assuming they were Rita's monsters, jumped into the fray to help Tommy.
