Mad Mackerel is a bonito/olive/fishing rod-themed monster created by Elsa. He was originally Marty Mackerel, an actor in the popular children TV show Funky Fisherman show. But he was kidnapped by Elsa and transformed into the monster Mad Mackerel. He appears as the temporary main antagonist of the episode "It's a Mad Mad Mackerel" in Power Rangers Dino Thunder.
History[]
Marty Mackerel was an actor in the famous children TV show Funky Fisherman. The show was a favorite show of Ethan when he was a kid. Marty had difficult relationships with the Funky Fisherman, the quarrelsome host of the show.
Marty practiced the Happy Fish dance and met Kira and Devin, who were taken as interns to the show. He greeted them and told them not to worry about the problems in their work. He was then called by his angry boss, who wanted the herb bath. Marty wished luck to the young people and left.
Marty, Funky Fisherman and other members of the show started the TV program, which was watched on TV sets. People sang their song and Marty danced his Happy Fish dance.
Elsa, Trent and Zeltrax also watched the program and Elsa decided to capture Marty and turn him into the new monster.
Elsa attacked the studio with Tyrannodrones and battled Kira. The Yellow Ranger tried to stop the villains, but she didn't manage to do so. Elsa mistakenly zapped Funky Fisherman into the TV set and kidnapped Marty.
The villains brought Marty to the lair of Mesogog. Marty tried to talk with them, saying that he was impressed by their costumes. The Tyrannodrones placed him into the Geno-Randomizer and transformed him into the new monster Mad Mackerel, who is a bonito/olive/fishing rod monster. Marty's personality extremely changed in this new form. Mad Mackerel was a cunning and sneaky monster.
Mad Mackerel then attacked Reefside and used his fishing rod to turn citizens into bait balls and put them into his jar to lure the Power Rangers. The Rangers arrived and battled Mad Mackerel. Mad Mackerel could fire projectiles in the form of fishes. He also used his fishing rod in battle to try and capture the heroes, but the Rangers broke it and then he left.
The Mad Mackerel returned and again started capturing people by using a new fishing rod. The Rangers arrived and again battled Mad Mackerel. Kira tried to talk to Marty within the monster, but Mad Mackerel said that he is no longer Marty. Tommy used a special device created by Hayley to deflect Mad Mackerel's beam at the TV set, freeing Funky Fisherman. Kira then took away Mad Mackerel's bag, freeing his captives. The Rangers then used the Z-Rex Blaster and defeated the monster, who tried to escape.
Elsa used the Hydro-Regenerator to enlarge Mad Mackerel. The Rangers formed the Thundersaurus Megazord to fight him. The monster striked the Megazord with his hooks, but the Rangers used the Thundersaurus Megazord's Ankylo Drill and Parasaur Final Cut to finally defeat Mad Mackerel and destroy the Geno-Randomizer's configuration.
Marty returned to normal and became friends with Funky Fisherman. TV STORY-It's a Mad Mad Mackerel
