Zhane is a fictional character and hero in the Power Rangers universe, appearing in the television series Power Rangers in Space. He was portrayed by Justin Nimmo.
[edit] Character History
Zhane was born on the planet KO-35, and like Andros and Karone, possesses telekinesis. Before the attack on his homeworld, Zhane was given the powers of the Silver Space Ranger. When he was seriously wounded in battle, Andros kept him cryogenically frozen aboard the Astro Megaship.
During the series, Power Rangers in Space, Zhane was released from a cryogenic chamber which kept him alive and joined the current team of Power Rangers. Because of the freezing process he developed a condition which only allowed him to remain morphed as the Silver Ranger for a short period of time (2 and a half minutes). In order to fix this he had to be recharged by being struck by lightning. He confided this to Alpha 6, and when the other Rangers overheard the two of them talking, they wrongly assumed that Zhane was going to die. Zhane took great pleasure in perpetuating this belief until the truth was finally revealed.
He developed a crush on Astronema and she on him when he rescued her from one of her own monsters. They tried to form a relationship, but due to a misunderstanding, it did not work. He also formed a close friendship with the Yellow Ranger, Ashley Hammond, causing Andros to become jealous of him. Fortunately, he was able to explain things to Andros who afterwards was able to ask Ashley out on a date. Zhane left briefly to help his felow survivors of KO-35, but he returned to help the Rangers with an asteroid heading for Earth with his new Zord, the MegaWinger.
In the finale episode, Countdown to Destruction, Zhane joined Andros, Karone and the other Space Rangers in returning to Earth. His whereabouts after heading to Earth with the Space Rangers is unknown, as he didn't join them for the Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy team-up episodes, To the Tenth Power and The Power of Pink.
[edit] Notes
- When unmorphed, Zhane wears black pants and jacket over a silver clothing in contrast to the other Space rangers who wear Gray over their respective colors.
- In the Japanese dub of Power Rangers in Space, Zhane was voiced by Masaya Matsukaze, aka Shun Namiki/MegaBlue in Denji Sentai Megaranger, the Japanese counterpart of T.J. in Space, probably because T.J. was already officially being dubbed by his Carranger counterpart, Yuji Kishi (Kyosuuke/Red Racer in Gekisou Sentai Carranger), since Turbo.
