History
Zack Taylor was an upbeat prankster who, despite having a troubled home life, was very popular amongst his peers in Angel Grove. One fateful day, as he was chatting with his best friends, Jason, Billy, Trini and Kimberly, an earthquake began across Angel Grove, and Zack and his friends were teleported to a mysterious hideout, where they were greeted by a robot named Alpha 5 and a huge floating head who introduced himself as Zordon. He explained that Zack and the others had been chosen by him to fight the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa. In order to do so, Zordon granted the five teens the power to become a fighting force known as the Power Rangers. Zack received the Mastodon Dino Power Coin, and became the Black Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. While he initially refused, he soon realized that he was perfect for the position, using his patented Hip Hop Kido against the forces of evil.
