Max Cooper is the Blue Shark Wild Force Ranger, the Blue Ranger of the Wild Force Power Rangers, and commands the Blue Shark Wild Zord. He is best friends with Danny Delgado, the Black Bison Ranger.
History[]
Wild Force[]
Max was the third Wild Force Ranger to be recruited, and both he and Alyssa were Rangers for roughly six months prior to Cole getting recruited. Max became a Power Ranger when he aided two girls in escaping from Turbine Org. After Taylor and Alyssa successfully chased off the Org, the Blue Shark Animal Crystal materialized in Max's pocket and he became the Blue Shark Ranger.
Max was originally training to be a bowler when he became a Power Ranger. When he quit, he lost the respect of Don, his mentor. Max later returned to learn his mentor's ultimate technique, the Tornado Spin, for use against Bowling Org. After much convincing, his teacher taught him the move. 
TV STORY-The Tornado Spin
After Master Orgs defeat and surrendering their powers, Max and Danny left Turtle Cove together and went on a very long vacation around the world.
After the vacation, it is presumably that he went back to training with Don to become a bowler.
