Dr. Thomas "Tommy" Oliver (b. October 20, 1979[1] as Thomas Marshall) is the longest-serving Power Ranger of all time. He started as a transfer student at Angel Grove High School who was brainwashed by Rita Repulsa to become the Green Ranger and fought the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, serving as the central antagonist of the five-part miniseries "Green With Evil". After the Rangers freed him from Rita's spell, Zordon created the White Ranger powers as a replacement for the depletion of the Green Ranger's energy, and the White Ninja Ranger of the Ninja Rangers.
Later when the team discovered the Zeo Crystal, Tommy was chosen to become Zeo Ranger V - Red of the Zeo Rangers.
During the events of Power Rangers Turbo, he becomes the first Red Turbo Ranger and leader of the Turbo Rangers; he eventually gave his powers to T.J. Johnson and retired as a Ranger.

Years later, Tommy graduated from college, he discovered the Dino Gems and became a teacher at Reefside High School, becoming the Black Dino Ranger and mentor of the Dino Rangers.
