Tommy Oliver

**Thomas "Tommy" Oliver**, AKA **White Ranger**, is a character who appears in the *Mighty Morphin Power Rangers* television series. He was featured on the 2nd report of Death Battle X, where he was pit up against Leonardo from *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*.

## Background

While he was a freshman in high school, Tommy Oliver and his family moved to the city of Angel Grove. After fighting Jason Lee Scott, Angel Grove's best martial artist and secretly the Red Ranger of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, to a tie in a martial arts competition, he earned the attention of Rita Repulsa, an evil witch who was the Power Rangers' arch-enemy. She saw potential in the young man, and decided to make him into an evil Power Ranger to take on the other Rangers. Placing Tommy under a spell to control his mind and giving him the Dragon Power Coin, Rita created the Green Ranger, who was far too strong for the Rangers to fight. However, the Rangers eventually broke Tommy out of Rita's control, with his powers intact, and he joined the Power Rangers in an attempt to make up for what he did under Rita's spell. Over the years, Tommy has taken on several different Ranger identities, and is often seen as the best Power Ranger ever due to his experience.

### Arsenal

* **Morpher:** Devices that Tommy uses to access his different Ranger powers. They allow him to morph through creating a brief entrance to the Morphin' Grid, an energy field that links all forms of life, which he passes through to gain his powers.
	+ **Saba:** Tommy's main weapon as the White Ranger. Saba is an enchanted shortsword that can fly, project energy beams from the eyes on its pommel, and control the Tigerzord when inserted into the controls. Saba is also sentient, and can talk to Tommy to help him in combat.
	+ **White Shark Cycle:** A motorcycle created from the fossilized fin of a prehistoric shark, which the White Ranger uses for transportation.
	+ **Metallic Armor:** A power-up mode for the White Ranger, which turns his armor a silvery-gray metallic color. In this mode, Tommy's strikes get stronger due to the metal-like consistency of his armor, and his suit can reflect light as a volatile blast.
	+ **White Tigerzord:** With his new powers, Tommy obtained the Tigerzord as his new Zord. The Tigerzord has two modes, its ordinary mode, which looks like a giant tiger, and Warrior Mode, where its takes on a humanoid appearance. It does most of its fighting in Warrior Mode, and Tommy can use Saba to make the Tigerzord copy his movements while in this mode for more precise combat.
		- **Golden Tiger Sword:** While in Warrior Mode, the Tigerzord uses its normal mode's tail as a sword as its main weapon. The sword can be coated with flames to boost the power of its slashes.
		- **Hyperspeed:** A function of the Tigerzord that greatly enhances its movement speed.
		- **Sonic Blasts:** Either from its mouth, or the head on its chestplate in Warrior Mode, the Tigerzord can produce power sonic blasts to blow away or disorient its foes.
		- **White Tiger Thunderbolt:** By inserting on of the orbs in the Tigerzord's cockpit into its controls, Tommy can have the Tigerzord shoot destructive fireballs from the mouth on its chestplate.
		- **Mega Tigerzord:** By combining with the Lion, Firebird, Griffon, and Unicorn Thunderzords, the Tigerzord can become the Mega Tigerzord, which is used when the normal Tigerzord isn't enough to win. The Mega Tigerzord is much stronger than the ordinary Tigerzord, and it even surpasses the Thunder Megazord in power.
			* **Phoenix Strike:** The Mega Tigerzord's primary finisher. After lighting the Firebird Thunderzord on fire, the Mega Tigerzord launches it at the opponent as a projectile, blasting through them with one attack.
