Psycho Green (formerly named Trek) is a Psycho Ranger. He was also originally Supersonic Green, the Green Ranger of the Supersonic Rangers.[1]
History[]
Early Life[]
Despite being a native of the planet Xybria, details concerning Trek, such as origins and point of recruitment into the Supersonic Rangers as their Green Ranger have not been explored. However, events from the team's final mission revealed that Trek and the team's Red Ranger, Ace, had frequent arguments concerning Ace's frequent decision to exclude him from field missions.
Betraying his team[]
At an unknown point, the entity known as Dark Specter made contact with Trek and started to fill his head with the idea that in the eyes of his team, he was worthless and they never considered him one of them, this idea eventually drew Trek to follow Dark Specter's commands.
Trek argues with Ace.
On one such occasion, the core team were preparing to mobilize when Star, the team's Pink Ranger, grew concerned over her inability to read Trek's thoughts; as she had normally been able to. However, upon arriving at the mission site, Trek tried to warn Star against continuing with the mission but fails. As the team proceeded into the building, an explosion ripples throughout the building. Among the rumble of the demolished building, Trek finds a wounded Ace and confesses to orchestrating the entire attack, before shooting him dead.
Following the demise of his teammates, Trek departed for Planet Infernus to report his mission results to Dark Specter's avatar. Dark Specter then uses his dark power on Trek's Morpher to change him into the very first Psycho Ranger - Psycho Green. He then served as Dark Specter's right hand.

Facing the Power Rangers[]
Psycho Green awakens on the Moon.
Around 1869, he was sent to the Moon in order to release Rita Repulsa from her prison. However, defense cannons placed by Zordon and Alpha 5 shot down his spaceship. Unbeknown to the two, Psycho Green survived and his ship placed him within hibernation until it could detect lifeforms for a possible rescue attempt. In 1969, the events of the Moon Landing inadvertently reactivated the ship and awakened Psycho Green.
Psycho Green's monster form
While searching for the space dumpster, Psycho Green found Nikolai Chukarin and Jamie Gilmore (the Blue and Black Rangers respectively) and attacked them, crushing Jamie to death with a boulder. As Grace, Terona, and Daniel arrived, Psycho Green engaged with them, killing Daniel by destroying his visor and exposing him to the vacuum of space. After reaching the space dumpster, Psycho Green is blasted by the Power Blaster by the remaining Rangers.
However, the attack didn't kill him and he returned in a second form, a giant, flaming, green monster. After chasing the Ranger trio to Rita's palace, he was finally incapacitated by Nikolai, who sacrificed himself to cause an explosion inside of Psycho Green. The only thing that remained of Psycho Green on the surface was his dagger/knife which was secretly taken by Grace. COMIC STORY- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) Issue 20
Resurgence[]
Trek meets Karone
In reality, Psycho Green was merely buried under the surface of the moon for decades, his armor battered, but his powers preserving him in the prime of his youth and sustaining him purely through the combination of Dark Specter's dark energy and Trek's own corrupted connection to the Morphin Grid. Emerging from the sea of tranquility, Trek also survived the Z-Wave through unknown means.
Psycho Green eventually found out about the other Psycho Rangers, five individuals that were created by the Princess of Evil Astronema to hunt down the Power Rangers and later drain Dark Specter of his power. Trek found their Data Cards and reprogramed them in order to bring them back to life. The Psychos later lead an assault on KO-35, asking for Astronema to show her face. They were eventually met with her in the form of Karone, her original and now reformed-self.
Psycho Green is betrayed by his "family"
The Psychos took Karone to their Psycho Mothership. Trek then strapped Karone to a chair and told her that he was gonna bring Astronema back so that they can be a family again, claiming that they are related as they were both children of Dark Specter in their own ways. Karone then tricks Trek into thinking that her evil self still exists and he agrees to let her go so they can both train the other Psycho Rangers.
Trek grew suspicious of his "sister" after seeing how she wanted to influence the other Psychos with her new values, he was later attacked by Andros, Karone's actual brother and the Red Space Ranger. Trek called the other Psychos and ordered them to not trust Karone, but the Psycho Rangers no longer trusted him and decided to stay loyal to Karone, defeating Psycho Green after a big confrontation. Trek was then put on a prison cell in the Psycho Mothership. COMIC STORY- Power Rangers: The Psycho Path
Kaiju Rangers[]
See article: Psycho Ranger Gigan
He would escape somehow and be transformed by Rita Repulsa into Psycho Ranger Gigan using Gigan's energy.
Personality[]
Trek was known even in his Ranger days to be jealous, boastful, confrontational, and highly aggressive with his team as well as his enemies. His ire with the perceived mistreatment by the seer, Ace, proved homicidal, as he killed his entire team by way of morph bomb, which indicated that Trek was intelligent, strategic, and had a calculated understanding of the weaknesses and mindsets of those around him, which is consistent with his powers as an empath. Despite his currently psychopathic mindset since his empowerment by Dark Specter, Trek merely seemed to have a vain, bitter, and resentful mindset towards his former comrades. However, after being endowed with great power by Dark Specter, he has become far more sadistic, his vanity and arrogance giving way to sheer sadism and moral nihilism.
Forms[]
Supersonic Green (helmetless)
Thanks to a gem embedded in his forehead, he is an empath. His connection to the grid allowed him to channel green energy blasts regardless of whether or not he is morphed. The gem in his forehead grants him empathic abilities, allowing him to feel the emotions of others and act on them to his advantage. This made him extremely perceptive when dealing with the leader of the Supersonic Rangers, as Trek was able to take advantage of Ace's near-blind faith and boundless confidence in his clairvoyant powers.

Notes[]
- As the Sentai series the Supersonic Rangers were sourced from, Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman, had no sixth or Green Ranger, Trek was created exclusively for the Boom Comics series.
- Trek's Supersonic Green Ranger helmet is never seen. Going by pattern, it can be assumed it features a visor with a six-lined frame.
- As the Psycho Rangers were conceived on TV as evil counterparts to the Space Rangers, who lacked a Green Ranger, a Psycho Green did not exist on-screen. However, Psycho Green can be considered an alternative to Psycho Black. Indeed, in the team-up between the Space Rangers and the Galaxy Rangers, Psycho Black was pitted against the Green Galaxy Ranger in addition to Black Space Ranger, reflecting that Black and Green are typically placed on teams interchangeably.
- Seeing as Psycho Green is making his first appearance fighting the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1969 team) he can be seen as the Psycho Ranger counterpart to the Green Ranger. On-screen, a Sixth Ranger equivalent existed only as a fake Psycho Silver, which was really a decoy planted by Zhane to fool the Psycho Rangers.
- Trek's name and origin story were revealed in the story "Psychotic" exclusively printed in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Year Two Deluxe Edition. It was written by Trey Moore, illustrated by French Carlomagno, and lettered by Ed Dukeshire.
- Psycho Green is the second Psycho Ranger to be able to kill Power Rangers, Psycho Pink being the first. Psycho Red can be counted for being also a counterpart of Mighty Morphin Red due to his Psycho Sword being based on the Power Sword, except he never fought a single Ranger, unlike both Green and Pink.
- In his first appearance, he is the first to manage to kill almost an entire Ranger team, with three Rangers killed and only two survivors. Though his last victim Nikolai was claimed by a suicide sacrifice before he could fully eat him as a monster. In his origin story, he did kill all five Supersonic Rangers.
- According to Jason Bischoff, while creating Psycho Green may have depleted Dark Specter, Psycho Green is not dependent on him for power.[2]
- Not counting Psycho Silver, due to being a fake, Trek is the only true Psycho Ranger who isn’t a cyborg like the rest of Astronema’s Psycho Rangers, due to being the original Psycho Ranger himself.
