William "Billy" Cranston is the former first Blue Ranger of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the 'modern era', during "Switching Places", Billy accidentally switch bodies with Kimberly Ann Hart becoming (temporary) the Pink Ranger, he later became the first Blue Ninja Ranger of the Ninja Rangers.

Retroactively, he is also referred to as the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger or Blue Mighty Morphin Ranger, as well as Zeo Bronze Ranger or Bronze Zeo Ranger, though these are terms of address referencing the show as opposed to proper labels.

During Power Rangers Zeo, Billy served as the technical expert helping from the Power Chamber the Zeo Rangers against the Machine Empire, he leaves Earth to spend time with his girlfriend, living now on Aquitar with Cestria.

Until his departure, he was considered the brains of the Power Rangers team, creating many gadgets with which to solve problems that not even Zordon foresaw, and even invented the first team's wrist-worn communication devices (it is believed, though not proven, that he created every other communicator up until his departure from the show).

Many years later, during the events of Power Rangers Beast Morphers Season 2, Billy responded to his old teammate Jason's signal and forms part of the Legendary Dino Rangers army against Goldar Maximus and his Army of Foot Soldiers.

Two years later, Billy tried to bring back Zordon but unintentionally brought back Rita Repulsa who gained a robotic body after taking over Alpha 8’s body. Billy followed Rita and ended up fighting her and a gang of Putty Patrollers, eventually he sent a distress call which was answered by his former Team but the fight ended in tragedy when Trini Kwan was killed by Rita.

One year later, on the anniversary of Trini’s death, Rita returned and captured Jason Lee Scott, Kimberly Hart, and Tommy Oliver. Billy was able to escape capture along with Zack Taylor and Trini’s daughter, Minh. Back at the new Command Center, Alpha 9 activated Bandora Protocol, and with the help of Zack, Minh (who had become the new Yellow Ranger), Rocky DeSantos and Kat Hillard, Billy was able to fix his past mistake and avenge his fallen friend.

Two months later, having been unsuccessful in bringing Zordon back in the present thus far, Billy converts the original RadBug into a time machine and recruits a team of Rangers consisting of Jason, Kimberly, Tommy, Andros, and Zoltar to go back in time and prevent Zordon's capture and provide him with a device that would render his sacrifice unnecessary. Upon the team's return to the present from a now alternate past, Billy learns of a plan that an alternate Zordon had given him advising them to rebuild the original Command Center/Power Chamber and seek a great power on the planet of Phaedos to bring Zordon back.

Months later, Billy joined the Dino Fury Rangers to fight the new threat of his old enemy, Lord Zedd, and his alliance with Squid Ink Inc., who sought to eradicate good from the universe. Billy assists Solon in mentorship responsibilities for the Rangers, who became the Cosmic Fury Rangers, and along with several Rangers, Billy helped the team eliminate the enemy fleet. After their victory, Billy learned from Aiyon that he had encountered Zordon, which affirms his resolve.

Months later, after Jason and Tommy had been destroyed in battle with Goldar, Billy is chosen as the new leader of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The attack also left Kimberly hospitalized and the Morphin Nexus, the rebuilt Command Center/Power Chamber, destroyed once again. However, the Morphin Masters and Grandmasters led by the resurrected Jason and Tommy and including a resurrected Trini, along with a number of other resurrected Rangers, manage to rescue Billy and his team from an attack by Psycho Tommi and restore the Morphin Nexus.

During Billy's leadership of the Rangers, it is revealed that Billy had also become the Bronze Ranger of the Zeo Rangers some time prior. Billy proves himself to be a capable leader and demonstrates his growth as a fighter by managing to be one of only two Rangers to defeat a cloned Lord Zedd in battle by exploiting a wound he had sustained earlier to defeat him in his Master Zedd form. After an ultimate battle of good versus evil between the Allied Rangers gathered under the Barza Protocol and Lokar's Grand Alliance of Evil, Billy and most of his teammates retire from full time active Ranger duty and begins training his science/martial arts protegé Josh Narvy to succeed him as the Blue Ranger.

History[]

Early Life[]

In his youth, he was good friends with Eugene 'Skull' Skullovich, though the friendship eventually soured and became more antagonistic. He is a frequent target of Bulk and Skull's bullying. Go Go Power Rangers Issue 3

Mighty Morphin[]

Becoming a Ranger[]

Billy was one of the five "teenagers with attitude" selected by Zordon to become the original Power Rangers, along with close friends Jason Lee Scott, Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan, and Kimberly Hart. Billy became the Blue Mighty Morphin Power Ranger due to his intelligence and patience. He was given both the Triceratops Power Coin and the Triceratops Dinozord.

Billy began the series as the stereotypical "nerd," speaking almost exclusively in technobabble throughout Season 1. His closest friend throughout the series was Trini, to whom he could communicate most comfortably and effectively. He was initially very insecure about himself, making him an easy target for people like Bulk and Skull, who tormented him often in the beginning. The other Rangers, especially Trini, defended him loyally, and Billy later evolved to become a stronger individual. He was one of the top members of Angel Grove High's science club and often helped its younger members with their experiments. One such person was Willy, a young boy who he helped to create a virtual reality simulator for a Science Fair. In the episode "High Five", Billy not only created the communicators, but also the interface that allowed the devices remote access to the Command Center's teleportation unit.

When they are not saving the world, teenagers with attitudes chosen by Zordon gather at the Angel Grove Youth Center. Trini updates Alpha 5 with the language of the year 1993. Far away, Dr. Carver and Dr. Kenyon discover a new civilization and the largest statue ever built in ancient America. Unintentionally, Dr. Carver activates the terrible cross between monster and robot that attacks the excavation site. Back at the Youth Center, Billy creates a device with internet access when everyone sees the attack on TV. In the territory of the attack, summoning the Dinozords, the Power Rangers fight against a terrible monster. Struck by the lightning of the stone giant, the Rangers lose communication with Zordon and have their pieces exchanged makes it difficult in battle. With the help of Alpha 5, the exchange effect was reversed and the Rangers, winning the battle and returning the giant to its location. Rita Repulsa's Attitude Adjustment

Billy Chosen — Zordon chose Billy to become the Blue Ranger.

It was revealed that Billy was bitten by a fish in his youth during an experiment involving whirlpools, causing him to develop icthyophobia: fear of fish. This fear would persist well into his teens and Rita would use a spell to exacerbate this fear. When he was the last remaining Ranger able to contend with the Goo Fish monster, Billy overcame the spell, freeing his friends and helping to defeat the monster. He later completely overcame the fear while on a fishing trip with Ernie, the owner of the Youth Center.

Each of Billy's teammates had a unique skill to offer the team and, in Billy's case, it was his vast intelligence. He sought out to improve himself physically, and the audience would see him transform over time from the suspenders-wearing "brain" to a confident, hyper-intelligent athlete with appreciable fighting skills, thanks in great part to Trini's Uncle Howard, Jason, and later Tommy. Billy and his friends in the form of Power Rangers defeat Korruptor using Dino Megazord. Going Green

Billy Fear — Billy facing his ichthyophobia.

Billy's intelligence would help the Rangers save the world on many occasions. When the Command Center was damaged, Zordon lost and Alpha incapacitated, it was his invention, the RADBUG that allowed the Rangers to travel to the Command Center. As a Ranger, he had a wide array of accomplishments, including creating the method by which the Ranger's would initially infiltrate Rita's Dark Dimension to disarming the lock-out mechanism for Alpha's activated self-destruct. Though Billy did manage to attract girls earlier in his "nerd-like" persona, it was after he began his journey toward self-improvement that he would garner more attention from romantic interests, to the point of getting more than the other members of the team.

Billy was accepted into the Young Scientists of America program. He befriended Zack's cousin Curtis when he became the newest student at Angel Grove High. Curtis' musical interests, particularly his interest in and skill at playing the trumpet, sparked Billy's intrigue in the rhythmic patterns of jazz music.

Zedd's Invasion[]

When Lord Zedd invaded Earth after doing away with Rita, Zordon upgraded the Dinozords into the Thunderzords; Billy was given control of the Unicorn Thunderzord. When Zordon and Alpha disappeared, Billy was the one to find the secret door where they were making the White Ranger. While most of the other Rangers were disappointed in a new member suddenly joining them, Billy knew that they needed a new Ranger to help them against Zedd, regardless of who it was. However, he was happy to find that the White Ranger turned out to be former teammate Tommy Oliver.

New Friends and Teammates[]

One day, just after having a picnic in the park with his friends, Billy, along with Tommy and Kimberly unexpectedly met Rocky DeSantos, Aisha Campbell, and Adam Park, and helped them stop a runaway stroller carrying a teacher's baby boy. When Zedd kidnapped the new teens, intending to change them into his own Dark Warriors, Billy, Tommy, and Kimberly set out to rescue them. Billy entered the cave where the teens were being held and grabbed the evil snake that would turn them evil. However, the snake wrapped itself around Billy's neck, and he was forced to remove his helmet to ensure he could breathe, thus revealing his identity to Rocky, Aisha, and Adam. The trio swore to keep the Rangers' secret and became friends with everyone. When Jason, Trini, and Zack were chosen to attend a Peace Conference in Switzerland, Billy and the Rangers had to retrieve the Sword of Light to allow the Rangers to transfer their powers. Though Billy was sad to see Jason, Trini, and Zack leave, he was happily surprised that Rocky, Aisha, and Adam would take their respective places as new Rangers.

When Kimberly fell through a time warp to the days of the Wild West, she would recruit Billy's ancestor William in the 1880s to become the first Blue Ranger when she assembles and takes command of the Wild West Rangers team in a battle against Goldar and several other time-traveling foes.

Ninja Quest[]

"It's Morphin Time! Blue Ranger Power!"

―roll call as Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger^[src]

Billy Ninja — Billy receives his powers.

After the Thunderzords were destroyed by Rito Revolto, Billy and the other Rangers sought out Ninjor, the creator of the Power Coins, to give them new powers. Billy became the Blue Ninja Ranger and controlled the Blue Wolf Ninjazord. Billy used his intelligence to enable the other Rangers to control the Shogunzords and would personally control the Blue Shogunzord.

Alien Rangers[]

The Rangers were turned into young kids by a time-reversal spell performed by Rita Repulsa's father, Master Vile. Billy devised a plan to restore the Rangers' proper ages using a machine that ran off of the Power Coins. Billy restored himself, but Goldar stole the machine, and Zedd and Rita destroyed all six Coins.

Billy and Aliens — Young Billy with the Aquitar Rangers.

With his Wolf Ninja Coin destroyed and his Triceratops Power Coin damaged beyond use, Billy's role changed. He no longer fought as a Power Ranger, and did not join the remaining active Rangers in their search for the Zeo Crystals and acted solely in an advisory and supporting role, serving as a liaison between the Aquitar Rangers during this period.

Zeo[]

Billy officially retired from active Ranger service, allowing Tanya Sloan (who was sent back in Aisha Campbell's place) to take his place as an active Ranger in the field. He continued in the support role he had adopted during the Aquitian Rangers' time on Earth, assisting Zordon and Alpha 5 with tasks in the Power Chamber and creating and maintaining most of the weaponry, gadgets, and Zords the Zeo Rangers would use. He traveled briefly to Aquitar to assist the Aquitian Rangers in battling with a race of aliens called the Hydro Contaminators. To do so, he completed a prototype device that Cestro started to defeat them. Upon his return, his ship was diverted by King Mondo to fly straight into the sun. From the Power Chamber, Zordon, Alpha 5, and the Rangers were able to rescue him.

Billy Leaves — Billy gives his Zeo Subcrystal to Tanya.

Before Trey of Triforia was revealed to be the identity of the Gold Ranger, several red herrings mislead the viewers into believing that the Gold Ranger was Billy. When Rocky confronted him with this theory, he assured the team that he would never have kept such a secret from them, and had simply been busy working on an unspecified project (later revealed to be the development of the Turbo powers in Back to Action). When Trey had to return to Triforia on sabbatical to try to unify his three selves, Billy was selected to assume the Gold Ranger's powers. However, the "negative proton energy" that his body had absorbed in the Command Center's explosion prevented him from taking the powers. Instead, Jason, the former Mighty Morphin Red Ranger (who, being nowhere near the Command Center at the time of its explosion, was a safe choice), received the powers.

Billy was last seen to be suffering from accelerated aging because the regenerator he used to restore his proper age had a side effect. To counter this, he traveled to Aquitar for a cure from their Eternal Falls (analogous to the Fountain of Youth), and opted to remain there with Cestria, a female Aquitian with whom he had fallen in love.

Saban's Masked Rider[]

Once & Always[]

Tommy Oliver In Once And Always — Billy reunited with his old team.

In the years since, Billy founded Cranston Technologies and secretly built a new Command Center in the basement of the company headquarters for the sole purpose of reviving Zordon. While he and Alpha 8 were successful in finding particles scattered by the Z-Wave, they were in reality Rita Repulsa's, who gathered inside Alpha 8's body and created Robo-Rita. Billy lured Robo-Rita outside and fought her with the other Rangers, but at the cost of Trini's life.

Billy and Zack break the news to Minh Kwan, Trini's teenaged daughter while the others search for Robo-Rita, Zack doesn't want to tell her that they're Power Rangers, remembering Zordon's rule about never revealing their identities. Billy argues that there's exceptions to every rule and Minh deserves to know exactly how her mother died. However, Minh has walked in on the conversation and immediately runs off in distress. He is also still in a relationship with Cestria, perhaps already married to her, as he calls her and says that he will return home to Aquitar soon when she calls him.

One year later, Robo-Rita returned on the anniversary of Trini's death as the Rangers are confronted by Robo-Rita, who has resurrected Snizzard and Minotaur in new robotic forms. Snizzard captured Jason, Tommy, and Kimberly, forcing Billy to escape with Zack and Minh in Billy's new RADBUG.

Back home, as they plan on how to rescue their friends, Minh insists on joining, but they refuse to let her causing Minh to blame Billy for Trini's death, which he took speechlessly.

Zack and Billy head to a hidden Command Center located beneath Cranston Technologies. Billy still feels guilty for Trini's death remembering Rita Repulsa's return as Robo Rita. After telling Zack it truly was his fault, Billy and Alpha 9 initiate the Bandora Protocol when Putties were spotted in random cities, bringing in Kat and Rocky to take over as Pink and Red Rangers respectively.

Blue Ranger Billy - Once and Always — Billy warning Rocky not to get grabbed by Robo-Snizzard.

The four Rangers can again morph into Power Rangers saving the people in Angel Grove from Robo Snizzard and Robo Minotaur and take down the Putties before learning from Alpha 9 that Minotaur is tracking them through their morphed status and had to demorph to go into hiding.

After Rocky and Zack rescued Minh from the Juice Bar, Billy devizes a plan at the junkyard to trap Snizzard and Minotaur before they proceed to Rita's Moon Palace, using a cloaking device Billy invented for Space Patrol Alpha.

The Rangers Going To Confront Robo-Rita — The team of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers complete again, going to confront Robo-Rita.

Upon reaching the palace, Billy and the others finds out that Rita is using a device, along with their captured friends and fellow Rangers to create a time machine so that Robo-Rita gives her younger self knowledge and kill the original Rangers before Zordon would recruit them. They were soon confronted by Robo-Rita, who also had Minh hostage before preparing to kill Billy, only for Minh to take the blast. To their surprise, Minh survived and was given her mother's powers and memories before they morph to battle Robo-Rita. After she makes Snizzard grow, Billy used the distraction to stab her before Minh accompanies him to pilot the Megazord and fight Snizzard, later joined by the others before discovering Robo-Rita, who survived the wounding, activated the machine. But they successfully defeated her, avenging Trini in the process.

Billy and Zack start telling Minh about some of their past adventures. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always

Future Force[]

Due to his recent failures to bring Zordon back in the present, Billy begins devising a plan to retroactively prevent Zordon's death in the first place while allowing it's effects to occur unchanged. To do this he creates a device that, when powered by Zordon, would recreate the original Z-Wave without Zordon having to sacrifice his own life. He then converts the original RADBUG into a time machine, having been inspired by his favorite movie Back to the Future to do so. On the anniversary of Zordon's sacrifice, Billy attends a memorial service at the ruins of the Power Chamber alongside Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Tommy, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Katherine Hillard, Tanya, Justin Stewart, T.J. Johnson, Carlos Vallerte, Ashley Hammond, Cassie Chan, Andros, Zhane, Karone, Minh, and Zordon's previously unmentioned son, Zoltar. Afterwards he briefs them on his plan to send five Rangers back in time to prevent Zordon's capture by the United Alliance of Evil and asks for four volunteers (as Tommy had been in contact with Billy and already volunteered beforehand). Jason, Kimberly, Andros, and Zoltar quickly volunteer.

It's later revealed that, due to the short time he gave himself to build the time machine and his inexperience with the minutia of time travel, that the time machine was flawed so that, while it was capable of safely sending people back in time, it sent them back to the wrong period of time (prior to Zordon being trapped in a time warp rather than around the time that the original Turbo Rangers transferred their powers to their successors) and disrupted the space-time continuum, creating an alternate timeline diverging from the main one in the process.

After the five Rangers return after having created an alternate timeline in which Zordon was never trapped and entrusting him with Billy's device, Tommy informs Billy that the alternate Zordon informed him of a great power on the planet of Phaedos that can be used to bring Zordon back and that the other Zordon believes that the best place on Earth to do so is the old Power Chamber, as it is located on a "nexus of power within the Morphin Grid". Thus Billy resolves to rebuild the old Power Chamber. Billy and Tommy discuss their semi-retirement as Rangers and note that eventually, they will all have to eventually retire from active Ranger duty. Tommy also states to Billy that mentoring the Dino Rangers had made him realize that maybe passing on the wisdom of his Ranger experience might be more important then continuing to be an active Ranger and notes that Billy, having been the brains behind the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Zeo Rangers, would make a great mentor himself. As they begin to make plans to seek out the great power of Phaedos, they receive a distress call from the Dino Fury Rangers and leave to assist them. As they leave Billy uses a device to heal his sprained ankle which he earlier claimed was the reason for not participating in the mission, revealing to Tommy that the real reason for not joining them was that he wanted the five to go on the mission in the hopes that it would give Jason, Kimberly, and Tommy the chance to regain their self-confidence after their capture by Robo-Rita while also allowing Andros the chance to make peace with his past, as he had regrets that he couldn't save both Zordon and the universe, and Zoltar the chance to meet his father. Power Rangers: Future Force

Cosmic Fury[]

After resolving the Robo-Rita conflict, Billy sets out into space and meets Mick Kanic before they head to Zordnia to find the legendary Cosmic Zords, only to be attack by Bajillia Naire of Squid Ink Inc., who had broken Lord Zedd out of his crystal prison before the Morphin Masters resurrect and send Zayto to bring his Dino Fury Rangers to assist them.

Once they arrive to assist in the battle, Lord Zedd sends out Doodrip to brainwash them, only to succeed with fellow Blue Ranger, Ollie Akana. As they continue, Scrozzle absorbs the Morphin Masters into a machine with Master Red giving Javi Garcia his staff, which leads them to Billy and Mick's objective. When the possessed Ollie attacked, Javi inserted the staff into the altar, releasing the Cosmic Zords, at the cost of his right arm before Billy had Mick take Javi away from the battlefield. Lightning Strikes

After returning to base, Billy attempts to console Javi by building him a cybernetic arm along with Solon before helping the others in attempting to use the Morphin Grid's energy to revitalize Ollie, until they're forced to retreat when Zedd destroyed the Dinohenge statues, sans the Triceratops one, to cut off the Dino Fury Rangers' power and teleported the whole base to Erridus, inadvertently bringing a stowed away Fern along. Beyond Repair

While everyone was busy gathering supplies, making repairs and cleaning up, Billy locked himself away in order to make new powers, using Master Red's staff and the Dino Keys before eventually creating six morphers for the Rangers to become Cosmic Rangers, even reassuring Amelia that the Morphin Grid assigned her as Red Ranger because of her devotion and keeping the team together. Off Grid

Eventually, repairs were complete and Fern, Izzy's girlfriend, becoming the Orange Cosmic Ranger, the Rangers returned to Earth, only to be caught in an anti-Zord barrier and sent crashlanding in Pine Ridge, where he and the others, except Zayto and Aiyon, were captured as sent to Zedd's Prison. However, Zayto and Aiyon, with help from Tarrick's resistance, was able to disable the barrier and power to the prison, allowing everyone to escape before telling Jane and J-Borg to move along when they were filming him. Joined by Heckyl, Billy and the Cosmic Rangers morphed to battle Squillia, Omwhyzo, and the Zentinels sent to stop them before defeating them all and taking Squillia. Operation Seasoning

Much later, Billy helped in liberating Angel Grove. Switching Sides

Billy, along with his fellow Rangers, the Space Rangers, Galaxy Rangers, Ninja Steel Rangers, and Grid Battleforce Rangers respond to Solon's distress signal and take down the Squidrills for the Cosmic Fury Rangers to get through. After Zedd was banished to Nibyro, Billy, along with Mick and the Rangers attend Javi's concert, where he learns from Aiyon that the latter inspired Javi to write the song after Zordon's phrase, but Aiyon insists it was what the being said to him, leading Billy to resume his search for Zordon before Amelia, overhearing that Zordon might be a ghost, wishes to join in.

Personality[]

Initially shy and insecure, Billy was still a highly intelligent individual that was always eager to learn, this resulted in Billy often speaking in what could only be described as technical jargon during his teenage years, talking with a more scientific terminology even in the most casual conversations, with only his friend Trini being able to understand him most of the time. Despite this, he wasn't a total know-it-all, and never tried to rub his intelligence in other people's faces. During his time as a Blue Ranger, Billy slowly grew more confident and sought out to improve himself physically. One major example of his improvement was that he was able to overcome his ichthyophobia, going from being afraid of eating a fish to fighting a giant toxic fish monster, which allowed him to later go on a fishing trip with Ernie.

Billy assumed the role of leader of the team after the rest of his friends were de-aged by a time-reversal spell, this lead to him interacting with the Alien Rangers and discovering that he could still be very useful even if he wasn't a Ranger. This revelation led Billy to step out of his role as a Ranger officially after his team was given the Zeo Powers, letting Tanya take his spot and becoming a full-time technical advisor. After he needed to heal from accelerated aging at Aquitar, Billy fell in love with Cestria and decided to stay at the alien planet with her, officially leaving the team.

Years later, Billy blamed himself for the death of his friend Trini after he accidentally resurrected Rita Repulsa, which lead to him being protective of Minh, Trini's daughter, forbidding her from joining them in the fight against Rita, but he eventually agreed to let her become the next Yellow Ranger. He also pushed Zack to tell Minh the truth about Trini's death and their identities as Rangers. As a Ranger, he now displayed a no-nonsense attitude full of confidence, resourcefulness and efficiency in his role as de-facto leader of the reformed team, formulating plans on the fly and successfully coordinating the team in executing them.

"Ninja Ranger power now!"

―Transformation call^[src]

Blue Ninja Ranger: This mode was a special power accessed by the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger. After having received the Power of Ninja from Ninjor, Billy is able to transform into the Blue Ninja Ranger. This form enables the user to use a multitude of ninja techniques. It seems however, weaker than the standard Ranger form, as it is only used against Tenga Warriors, with the team always morphing to their standard Ranger forms whenever a Monster appears.
