Black Ranger

Zachary "Zack" Taylor, also known as the Black Ranger, is one of the main protagonists of the Power Rangers series. To differentiate him from other Black Rangers, he is commonly referred to as the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger. He appeared in the 75th episode of Death Battle, Power Rangers VS Voltron, where he, his teammates, and the Megazord fought against the Voltron Lion Force and Voltron from the Voltron series.
He also appeared in the 58th episode of DBX, Burning Gundam VS Thunder Megazord, where he, his teammates, and the Thunder Megazord fought against Domon Kasshu and the Burning Gundam from the Mobile Figher G Gundam series.
==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.
