Biography
Early Life
Not a lot is known about Hunter and Blake Bradley's early years, except that they were both adopted at a young age by the Bradleys, a young couple who were also members of the Thunder Ninja Academy. It seems that both Bradleys shared a content childhood with their adoptive family, until they were later murdered by the fallen Wind Ninja, Lothor. Hunter and Blake unfortunately are unaware who is responsible for their deaths until years later. Following the death of their family, the boys continued to live at the Thunder Ninja Academy, now being raised by Sensei Omino. Blake and Hunter trained at the Thunder Ninja Academy under Sensei Ominou who was later captured along with the whole academy by Lothor. Sensei Ominou, knowing that the world needed protectors he gave Blake and Hunter the Thunder morphers.
He also has a crush on Tori, the Blue Wind Ranger, which, while "obviously mutual", was never acted upon (most likely due to the show's targeting a younger audience).
Return
Lothor made them believe Sensei Watanabe was their adopted parents' murderer after he captured them, making Hunter and Blake go against the Wind Ninjas. However, their parents' spirits told them it was Lothor who killed them. After that, the Thunder Rangers allied with the Wind Ninjas and fought alongside them during many battles. It is implied that he has feelings for the Blue Wind Ranger, Tori Hanson. In "I Love Lothor," he and Cam were put under a spell and fell madly in love with Tori. By the end of the series, they know of each others' feelings but a relationship is not confirmed, likely since the show was targeted to children. Ironically, his Sentai counterpart also had feelings for the Blue Wind Ninja Sentai counterpart.
After the end of Ninja Storm, Blake achieved his dream of becoming a motocross star.
Dino Thunder
Legacy of Power
The Thunder Rangers were featured in a chronicle of Power Ranger history compiled by Tommy Oliver shortly after he formed the Dino Rangers, which was found by the nascent Ranger team in the Dino Lab. Legacy of Power
Thunder Storm
In Dino Thunder, the Rangers temporarily regain their powers and fight alongside the Dino Thunder Rangers to fight the combined threat of Lothor and Mesogog. After the battle it is revealed that Blake's morpher is depleted, resulting in the permanent loss of his Ranger powers.
Super Megaforce
Blake and Hunter returned with their fellow Ninja Rangers with their powers somehow restored as part of the army of Legendary Rangers that helped the Mega Rangers defeat the Armada once and for all, fighting in a huge battle against hundreds of X Borgs and dozens of Bruisers. Legendary Battle
The Thunder Rangers are not present in the crowd of Legendary Rangers used for original footage in Legendary Battle. They do, however, appear in the Sentai footage due to their counterparts indeed fighting in the Legend War.
