After the FANTASTIC panel highlighting the Valiant Digital project Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe, my scheduled interview was unfortunately postponed and the rest of the weekend didn’t work out. During his panel he agreed to give Comic Crusaders an exclusive interview to discuss his past and present successes, which I must admit turned me into a giddy child once again. This past month I attended the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo, where I was able to meet Jason and several other stars of the hit television show. I loved Jason David Frank’s portrayal of the character as he grew into the White Ranger and later the Red Ranger, but lately the martial artist turned actor has had some major developments take place that are well worth diving into. The five original rangers each had varying levels of appeal to my young mind, but when Tommy Oliver appears as the Green Ranger, the entire dynamic of the team changed forever. I know, as a comic book lover and reviewer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and X-Men would have been prime candidates, but the truth remains that teenagers with attitude and recycled Japanese footage shaped my childhood more than any other television show.
I was only a toddler when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers premiered in 1993 and I’m proud to say they were my first memory of superheroes.
