History

Twin Man's human disguise as Jason.

The Twin Man is created by Finster and sent by Rita to Earth. The plan is to frame the Rangers as evil and turn the public against the Rangers. To do this, they will attack the city whilst the Rangers are indisposed and either take over the city or at least ruin their public reputation. Twin Man comes to Angel Grove with four Putties transformed into four of the Power Rangers' human identities while he transforms into Jason. Twin Man and his henchmen arrive at Angel Grove High School and sabotaged the fountain with shampoo before bullying Mr. Caplan. The Principal gives the real Rangers detention so Twin Man turns into the Red Ranger and leads the other evil Rangers in an attack on the city itself. Eventually though, Zordon, Alpha and the heroes realize that it is part of their plan and the five escape detention to stop the villains.

The real Rangers come to stop the fake Rangers just before the Twin Man can execute a woman with a duplicate Power Sword and the fight. Twin Man fights Jason to a near stalemate but the other Rangers quickly defeat their doppelgängers. Meanwhile, Jason strikes down Twin Man with a nasty jump kick to his chest and the monster returns to his real look. Twin Man uses a baton in battle, which he uses like a whip to hit the Rangers and knock them down. They recover but he creates a dimension similar to a kaleidoscope around himself and the Rangers before shaking the ground under them and blasting them down. He then charges at the downed Rangers but takes a nasty hit from the Blade Blaster Tower Formation, disarming him and causing an apparent critical wound. With the monster unarmed and badly injured, the Rangers destroy Twin Man with the Power Blaster who is knocked flat on his back and explodes in an eruption of blue-white mirror energy.

Personality

Twin Man was a sinister, cold and ruthless monster who took great pleasure in destroying the Rangers. He was also highly cunning, sly, devious and deceptive, as he and his minions turned into the Rangers and tried to discredit the Rangers by turning into them and acting as a villains in Angel Grove.
