## History

Jason was the first team leader while the team fought against Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. He was chosen to lead the team by Zordon who noted he had natural leadership qualities.

While leading the first team of power rangers, Jason helped them turn Tommy into an ally, and helped save the green ranger powers from being reabsorbed by Rita. This team of rangers also fought with the Masked Rider, the VR Troopers, and a number of Power Ranger teams that Zordon had gathered before them. When asked why they had never heard of Power Rangers beforehand, Zordon commented that at the end of the legendary battle of all the prior Power Ranger teams, their final strike caused a power wave that erased everyone's memories of Power Rangers before them. Zack and Kimberly remarked that this was unfair to those heroes that they would never know.

When Lord Zedd arrived, Jason took the new Red Dragon Thunder Ranger powers, granting him access to the Red Dragon Thunderzord. He welcomed Tommy back to the team when he gained the white ranger powers. During Zedd's final battle, Jason found out that his family was moving to Virginia, and he almost missed the plane to fly east while Zedd's monster attacked the airport. Once the fight was finished, Zedd was banished into a space dumpster, and Jason gave his Thunder Power Coin back to Zordon, saying it was an honor being a ranger.

A year or so later, Jason returned to Angel Grove and to being a ranger when the Zeo Rangers discovered a missing Zeo crystal fragment had arrived on Earth. It was channeled into a gold zeo morpher, giving Jason the powers of the Gold Zeo Ranger, allowing him to become a power ranger once more, though this time, Jason let Tommy lead the team, even though Tommy offered to let him lead again. Jason gave up the gold ranger powers when the Machine Empire was defeated.

Years later, Tommy had moved to Reefside as a high school teacher, he called on his old friends to help him defeat one of Mesogog's monsters. Zordon's power wage recharged all the former ranger powers, including the Dino Power Coins, allowing Jason to bring Kim, Zack, Trini, and Billy back to help them fight off the monster. Jason's girlfriend Emily joined the team when she used the green power coin to become the second green ranger and help defeat the enemy with the Ultrazord and the Valkasaurus Megazord.

Jason returned again when he helped the Pirate Rangers in their search for the dino treasure, helping them become the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers for an episode of that series, before he participated in the Legendary Battle, leading a force of nearly 200 Power Rangers to help the Pirate Rangers defeat the invading army. He and Zack showed that they were still friends, and worked well together, cooperating on their fight like many other rangers did. The two hour episode showed off a number of ranger teams, bringing back every living actor to the show. During this episode, it was learned that Jason had married Emily, Tommy married Kat, and Kim and Billy had gotten married.
