Personality
Jake Holling is outgoing, optimistic, fun-loving, proud and fearless when it comes to both the battlefield and social situations. He loves being the Black Ranger and saving the world with the help of his Snake Zord but sometimes he wishes he could make his superhero identity public. His one weak spot is his huge crush on the Yellow Ranger but he's determined to make her fall for him one day.
Don't dismiss Jake Holling as just another class clown. He has a serious talent for bringing people together with a laugh and he always has an eye on the bright side. He also is a great soccer player. [1]

Ranger Keys
The Megaforce Black Ranger Key.
The Megaforce Black Ranger Key is one of Jake's personal Ranger Keys. This key along with the majority of the Core Ranger Keys are seen lining the Command Center's interior walls. This key is mainly used by Jake Holling (Super Megaforce Green). Although it hasn’t been seen being used, it has been seen in the toyline.
The Super Megaforce Green Ranger Key.
The Super Megaforce Green Ranger Key is one of Jake's personal Ranger Keys which allows him to morph into Super Megaforce Green. As with the other Super Megaforce Ranger Keys, this key is commonly used in the Super Mega Rangers' Ranger Key-compatible arsenal and zords for different functions and attacks.
Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Jake Holling was portrayed by Azim Rizk.
When morphed, Jake was respectively portrayed by suit actors Yoshifumi Oshikawa (押川 善文 Oshikawa Yoshifumi) (Megaforce Black; later served as Super Megaforce Blue), in footage from Goseiger, and Yasuhiro Takeuchi (竹内 康博 Takeuchi Yasuhiro) (Super Megaforce Green; previously served as Megaforce Red), in footage from Gokaiger.
Production
- Early scripts listed his name as "Baron", just like Kevin.
Notes
- Jake is the first snake-themed Power Ranger.
- Similar to Zack Taylor, Jake is also characterized as being outgoing and flirtatious along with wielding an axe. He also seems to have a similar style of dance.
- His Ranger color role being started out as a Black Ranger before becoming a Green Ranger is more similar to Adam Park than both Tommy Oliver and Carlos Vallerte. He is also the only one to don both colors simultaneously.
Counterpart notes
- Jake shares a few things in common with 5 of the other Super Mega Rangers in terms of counterparts:
- He was one of four Super Mega Rangers to have a counterpart from all past Power Rangers teams until Beast Morphers as Gold and Silver would be Orion's counterparts (in a similar manner to Gem and Gemmma) instead of being his and Emma's counterparts.
- 2 of Jake’s counterparts (Ninja Steel White and HyperForce Black) were originally female.
- 3 of Jake’s counterparts (Crimson Thunder Ranger, Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger and Ninja Steel White) are neither Green nor Black Rangers.
- 5 Green Rangers (Green Mighty Morphin Ranger, Green Samurai Ranger, Green Chameleon Warrior, Jungle Fury Elephant Ranger and Supersonic Green) and 7 Black Rangers (Phantom Ranger, Magna Defender, S.P.D. Shadow Ranger, Black Lion Warrior, Jungle Fury Bat Ranger, Ranger Operator Series Black and Dino Charge Black Ranger) are not Jake’s counterparts.
- Power Rangers Beast Morphers is the only Ranger team where Jake does not have a counterpart.
Legendary Ranger Modes
- Of all of his forms, SPD Green is Jake's most used Green Ranger with four including his SWAT Mode. His most used Black Ranger is Mighty Morphin Black with two. His most non-Green and Black Ranger counterparts is Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger with two each. Green Turbo Ranger and Prism Green are his least used Green Ranger forms while Black Alien Ranger, Black Space Ranger, Black Dino Ranger, an Blitz Black are his least used Black Ranger forms at one each while Crimson Thunder Ranger is his least used non-Green and Black Ranger forms at each. However, Jake has never transformed into the Green Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Green or the Black Overdrive Ranger.
