Why Has Tommy Oliver been in every single Series of power rangers? Well im here to give you my best theory, but before I do that I need to tell you guys about his back Story:
•
Dr. Thomas "Tommy" Oliver is a Power Ranger veteran and considered a
legend among the Ranger community. He is often considered to be the greatest
Power Ranger of all time, having been part of four Power Ranger teams over the
years. Tommy's career as a Power Ranger did not start like most, as he was
chosen by Rita Repulsa to
become her evil Green Ranger, making him the first evil Ranger in Power Ranger
history. He was tasked with destroying the original team of Power Rangers and
had nearly succeeded, although he was ultimately defeated and was released from
Rita's control by the original Red Ranger, Jason. Having turned good, Tommy
helped the Rangers in defeating the forces of darkness and was made an official
member of the team. In doing so, not only did Tommy prove himself to be a
worthy ally, but he became exactly the kind of leader the Rangers needed and
was therefore promoted, taking command from Jason. Tommy has gone through a
number of power variations through the years. Originally the first Green Ranger
of the Mighty Morphin
Power Rangers. Those powers ran dry and he became the White Ranger and the
White Ninja Ranger of the same team, Zeo Ranger V Red of the Zeo
Rangers, and the first Red Turbo Ranger of the Turbo Rangers. He later became
the husband of Katherine Hillard in a
possible future (the canonicity of which is debatable).
•After
Tommy's adventures as a Ranger were complete, he went to college where he
received a Doctorate in Paleontology in a mere six years (in "Shift into
Turbo", it mentioned he was in the class of 1997, whereas in "Thunder
Struck Part 2", it mentioned the others in the class of 2004, showing that
Dino Thunder started in 2003). He later traveled to Reefside and,
in an effort to stop some of his mutations, became the mentor of a new set of
Power Rangers. He later took up the mantle of a Ranger once more and became the
Black Dino Ranger of the Dino Rangers. After Tommy's adversary, Mesogog, was
defeated, he retired from Ranger duty and is currently a normal high school
teacher at Reefside.
However trouble arose as Prince Vekar drove his enemy fleet onto the grounds
of Earth, which forced Tommy's hand to unite the remaining Rangers to defeat
The Armada.

•Retroactively,
he is also referred to as the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger or Green Mighty Morphin
Ranger, Mighty Morphin
White Ranger or White Mighty Morphin Ranger, Zeo Red Ranger or Red Zeo
Ranger as well as Dino Thunder Black Ranger or Black Dino Thunder Ranger,
though these are in reference to the show, as opposed to proper labels. He was
also retroactively labeled as Turbo Red Ranger - a variation on his in-show
label.
So here's my theory so When we first met Tommy back in mighty Morphin we all knew he was destine to do something great. But another thing is at the end of Zeo maybe Zordon and Tommy talk and Zordon told Tommy where each of the Morphin Crystal
were. So It was Tommy's Job to protect and make sure that those crystal's find their rightful Owners and he most likely gave each of the Morphers to each of the Guardians from each Series. And even when he's not there the Guardians still mention him to the Current Rangers. And there's been times were Tommy was a Guardian himself both in Dino Thunder and Mega Force's so who knows whats to come with Tommy. Is his Role as the longest Ranger over or is just Beginning? Time will tell
