## Chronological Order

Mystic Rangers

The **Dino Rangers** are four high-school students and their teacher who fight to defend both Reefside and Earth from the ruthless Mesogog, who plans to bring the Earth back to its prehistoric era.

## History

### Origin

The history of the Dino Rangers truly began when Dr. Tommy Oliver-veteran Mighty Morphin, Zeo, and Turbo Ranger-joined Anton Mercer in experimenting with dinosaur DNA. Their experiments resulted in the creation of the Dino Zords and the Dino Gems, but also seemingly resulted in Mercer's death and the destruction of their lab. Unbeknownst to Tommy, Mercer survived, but also gained a malevolent reptilian alter ego named Mesogog. Mesogog rebuilt their old lab into his base and set about on a quest to turn Earth into a world ruled by dinosaurs.

### Formation

*"With the return of Mesogog, it became necessary to invoke the power of the Dino Gems. Should anything happen to me, these three are in charge of protecting the planet. You're in good hands."*
―Tommy Oliver's record of the **Dino Rangers** trio.
Some years later, Tommy began teaching at Reefside High School, where his students included Kara Danvers, Oliver Queen, and Barry Morningstar. The three of them stumble across Dino Lab, Tommy's hidden retreat, and bonded with three of the Dino Gems that he had managed to recover. As such, the trio became the first three Dino Rangers. They soon clashed with Mesogog and his forces, which included Elsa-a villain disguised as the principal of Reefside High-and Zeltrax-a cyborg warrior who would later reveal a past acquaintance with Tommy. Tommy himself later took up the mantle of a Power Ranger again, bonding with a fourth Dino Gem to become the Black Ranger. This team of four continued for a time until a dangerous new opponent entered the scene: Sam Allen, who bonded with the White Dino Gem and was brainwashed by its evil energies to become an evil White Ranger.

After spending some time as a villainous foe of the other Rangers, Sam was freed of the evil energy that corrupted him and joined them. However, he kept the fact that his stepfather's friend, Anton Mercer, was Mesogog a secret from his teammates, even his brother Barry. This would later prove to be a source of great tension, but Sam redeemed himself in the eyes of his teammates by remaining stalwartly at their side even when they lost their trust in him. As a whole, the Rangers continued to face difficulty as Zeltrax broke away from Mesogog with his own agenda of domination, but were bolstered by new powers such as Super Dino Mode and Barry's transformation into the Triassic Ranger.

### Thunder Storm

The Rangers faced one of their greatest challenges when the villain Lothor and several of his minions and escaped the Abyss of Evil. The evil ninja master subsequently brainwashed the retired Wind Rangers into serving as his minions, before forming an alliance with Mesogog. Luckily, the Thunder Rangers and Green Samurai Ranger managed to recover their powers and free their brainwashed friends. All eleven Rangers then joined forces to defeat Mesogog and Lothor's combined army, and Mesogog himself put an end to Lothor's threat.

### Fall of Mesogog

Shortly thereafter, Mesogog and Anton were separated from each other, leaving Mesogog free to enact his plans without interference from his human side.

Fortunately, the Rangers were able to trick Mesogog, giving them the opportunity to rescue Anton and destroy Mesogog's lab. They were then forced to sacrifice the Thundersaurus Megazord and Mezodon Megazord in order to stop Zeltrax's final threat, the Zelzord, putting an end to the cyborg as well. However, just when it seemed that their mission was over, Mesogog returned a final time, evolving into a monstrous new form to challenge the Dino Rangers. Unable to stop him by any other means, they sacrificed their Dino Gems to destroy him, putting an end to the villain and their powers as well. With this task done, the five Rangers returned to their normal lives.

### S.P.D.

On two occasions, the Dino Rangers would team up with a group of far-flung successors, the B-Squad S.P.D. Rangers. Sometime after Mesogog's defeat, the original trio were brought into the future by the criminal Broodwing, who hoped to use them against the S.P.D. Rangers. Instead, the trio ended up teaming up with their fellow Rangers to fight against Broodwing, Emperor Gruumm, and their minions. They were subsequently returned to their own time, their memories of these events erased. Sometime later (from the perspective of the S.P.D. Rangers) Gruumm traveled back in time and forged an alliance with Zeltrax to conquer the Earth in the past. The S.P.D. Rangers followed him and teamed up with the Dino Rangers, who still possessed their powers. After a fierce battle, the Rangers proved victorious, and Gruumm and the S.P.D. team returned to the future, though all the Rangers who participated-except possibly for Tommy and the Omega Ranger-had their memories of this team-up erased.

### Operation Overdrive

Later (this time from the Dino Rangers' perspective), Kara would have her powers temporarily restored by the Sentinel Knight in order to allow her to join a team of Retro Rangers. These five Rangers-additionally consisting of Wind Ranger Tori Hanson, S.P.D. Ranger Bridge Carson, Mystic Ranger Xander Bly, and Tommy's old teammate Adam Park-were brought together to fill in for the temporarily powerless Operation Overdrive Rangers. After their connection to the Morphin Grid was restored, the Overdrive Rangers joined the Retro Rangers in battling Thrax and his new Evil Alliance.

### Super Megaforce

The Dino Rangers returned as part of the army of Legendary Rangers that helped the Mega Rangers defeat the Armada once and for all, fighting in a huge battle against hundreds of X Borgs and dozens of Bruisers. Barry, Oliver, Kara, and Sam fought together while Dr. Oliver fought with his old team as the Green Mighty Morphin Power Ranger once more.

### Super Ninja Steel

Sam and Tommy returned as Dino Thunder White and Dino Thunder Black (as well as the original Green, White, and Red Zeo Ranger) to help the Ninja Steel Rangers and Tommy's old friends (Rocky, T.J., Kat and Wes) stop Lord Draven.

### Beast Morphers

The main three Dino Rangers responded to Jason's signal and returned alongside the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as part of the Legendary Dino Rangers army, fighting against an army and defeating Snide. When Evox summoned his massive Chimerazord, they summon the Thundersaurus Megazord and defeated it alongside the other Megazords. With Evox on the run again, the teams departed and the trio returned to Reefside

### A New World

The team was brought to the past in the year 2000 before they were even **Power Rangers** forced to fight Mesogog who has returned due to Barry's other enemy the Negative Speed Force. So the Rangers must learn to work together again to defeat Mesogog as Time keeps pulling them all through time from 2000, to present day in 2023, to 2049, and back to 2023. The Rangers also had to fight Eddie Thawne/Cobalt Blue and Mesogog's Army of monsters again. In the end the Rangers prevailed and came to an agreement with Eddie to keep peace and to coexist together.
