Biography[]

Turbo[]

Turbo Red Ranger

T.J. as the Red Turbo Ranger

T.J. wanted to be a Power Ranger ever since he was a very young boy, unaware that his fantasies would actually come true one day. He is first seen on a bus en route to Angel Grove, riding along with Cassie Chan. Suddenly, both he and Cassie witness an attack by Divatox who captures the then-current Red Turbo Ranger, Tommy Oliver. T.J. fights off the Piranhatrons and frees Tommy from his prison. Because of his bravery and his assistance in saving others (including an unmorphed Power Ranger), he is hand-picked by Tommy to be his successor in forming the new formation of Turbo Power Rangers as the second Red Turbo Ranger. The team consists of himself, Cassie, Ashley, Carlos whilst Justin stays on as the Blue Ranger.

Although he is a very capable team leader, he ends up having one of the worst final showings of any Red Ranger. When pitted against Goldgoyle, regarded as "the most destructive monster in the universe", the end of the series sees the destruction of two Megazords, one of which is set to self-destruct per his order in a failed attempt to destroy the foe, and the loss of the Turbo Powers after Divatox finds and destroys the Power Chamber.

Demoralized but unwilling to accept their fate, TJ tells the other Turbo Rangers that they need to go after Divatox, who has left the Earth at Dark Specter's orders, and stop her before she returns to the now-defenseless Earth. Sneaking aboard a NASADA space shuttle, the Turbo Rangers and Alpha 6, sans Justin who elects to stay behind with his father, take off to find Zordon.

In Space[]

BlueSpaceRanger

Along with Ashley, Carlos, Cassie and Alpha 6, he meets Andros, the Red Space Ranger from the distant planet KO-35. Although not initially receptive of their presence, Andros would later give the four remaining Turbo Power Rangers all-new powers that matched his own, and T.J. would become the Blue Space Ranger.

He debatably gives functional leadership of the team to Andros, due to himself being unfamiliar with outer space, but still displays strong leadership skills throughout the series. Though Andros was unfamiliar with teamwork. The Rangers spent this time searching for the kidnapped Zordon and protecting Earth from Astronema. During the course of the series, T.J suffered at least two serious head injuries. The first incident was when he was attacked by Darkliptor (a being that was a merging of Ecliptor and Darkonda), which left him with temporary amnesia. The second occurred when Psycho Blue nearly killed him, placing him in the intensive care unit aboard the Astro Megaship. He would remain the Blue Space Ranger for the remainder of the series and would participate in the final battle against the United Alliance of Evil.

Lost Galaxy[]

T.J. later follows Andros alongside the other Space Rangers to Terra Venture to help the Lost Galaxy Power Rangers in dealing with the Psycho Rangers. He and the other Rangers help destroy the five Psycho Rangers for good, but it cost them the life of Kendrix Morgan.

Forever Red[]

Once again donning the Red Turbo Ranger powers, T.J. was part of the team of Red Rangers that travel to the moon to face the remnants of the Machine Empire who seek to use Serpentera to destroy the Earth. TJ Turbo Lighting Sword. He teamed up with Leo Corbett to destroy Automon. It is assumed that he got his Red Turbo powers back from Lightning Cruiser, similar to how Justin got his powers back from Storm Blaster. It is in this appearance that his full name is finally revealed.

Personalty[]

T.J. is friendly and warm hearted, as well as intelligent in his decision making.

Trivia[]

  • T.J., like Cassie, was added last minute to the show; unlike Ashley and Carlos, who had been around most of Turbo and were built up as potential Rangers. It was planned for Tommy and Kat to leave the team (as their actors wished to end their tenure as Rangers), but Adam and Tanya were additionally written out; so TJ and Cassie were added to fill the additional gaps.
  • TJ wasn't living in Angel Grove prior to Passing the Torch; unless Dimitria and Alpha 6 helped him out, TJ would have been commuting to school.
  • T.J. was originally going to stand for Timothy Johnson.
  • It's not explained how T.J. got his Red Turbo Ranger powers back prior to Forever Red, but it can be assumed that since Justin got his powers from Storm Blaster, T.J. may have gotten his from Lightning Cruiser, although this remains unconfirmed.
  • T.J. is the first male African-American Ranger to be bald, followed by Damon Henderson from Lost Galaxy and Joel Rawlings from Lightspeed Rescue.
  • As the second Red Turbo Ranger, T.J. is the first African-American Red Ranger, followed by Jack Landors, Scott Truman and Devon Daniels.
  • In the Japanese dubs of Power Rangers Turbo and Power Rangers in Space, TJ is voiced by Yūji Kishi, the actor for his first Sentai counterpart, Kyosuke Jinnai (Red Racer).
  • T.J.'s personality is very similar to Cyborg from DC Comics.
