Power Rangers: Bryan Cranston Was Involved With The Franchise Long Before The 2017 Movie – Looper

Bryan Cranston’s first go-around in the “Power Rangers” universe came in the first season of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” where he provided the voice of the evil Snizzard in the episode “Foul Play in the Sky.” Created by Finster, Snizzard is sent out to — surprise, surprise — destroy the Power Rangers. The villain manages to hold his own against the heroes for some time with his powerful Zapper Apple and the ability to summon armies of Putties. It isn’t until Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson) returns after being trapped on a plane that they are able to overpower their opponent, with the Pink Ranger shooting his Zapper Apple with an arrow. 

But Cranston’s next “Rangers” antagonist, Twin Man, had more sinister plans. Featured on the Season 1 episode “A Bad Reflection on You,” Twin Man transformed four putties into an identical version of the Power Rangers team. The Evil Power Rangers went about causing havoc to tarnish the name of the real team, who eventually face off against the devious doppelgängers. Twin Man goes toe-to-toe with Jason (Austin St. John) and even manages to stand his ground for some time. But an attack from the Rangers’ arsenal eventually brings the villain to an explosive end. 

It seems it was high time for Cranston to play a good guy in this universe — no telling how much more of a beating he could take.
