Icon-megarangerThis article is about a/an Ranger in Power Rangers in Space, the last installment in the Zordon Era.

Not to be confused with Zane, the Black Dark Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
"No more clownin' around, Power Silver!"
―Zhane's catchphrase[src]

Zhane (pronounced as the name Zane) is the Silver Ranger, and the sixth member of the Space Rangers. He also took on the identity of Psycho Silver of the Psycho Rangers for a brief time during "Five of a Kind."

Retroactively, he is also referred to as Silver Space Ranger or In Space Silver Ranger, as well as Silver Psycho Ranger - variations on his in-show labels, though the latter is more in reference to the show itself than a proper label.

History

Childhood

Zhane was born a human on the planet KO-35, along with Andros and his sister Karone. The three were adept in telekinesis.

Life as a Ranger

Zhane became Andros' best friend was, at times, the only one who could make Andros smile or laugh. When the two became Power Rangers, it was a dream come true for both of them. As the Silver Space Ranger, Zhane and Andros were in another battle against evil forces. Dark Specter launched attack after attack on KO-35. In the midst of the battle, Zhane saw that Andros was in trouble when he was engaging with a red statue monster. Without a second thought for himself, Zhane leapt in front of Andros and took an attack meant for him, saving his friend's life but leaving him mortally wounded. Unable to treat Zhane's wounds properly, Andros placed him in a cryogenic tube in a hidden compartment in the Astro Megaship, in the hopes of someday restoring him.

For two whole years, Andros watched over his friend hoping for any sign of him awakening. After crash-landing on Kadix and being attacked by scavengers, Zhane's life support briefly failed, before suddenly the Silver Ranger awakened from his deep freeze and fought alongside the Rangers. Zhane proved himself a valuable asset early on, when he defeated Ecliptor single-handedly, a feat that all the other five Rangers - even working together - struggled in doing.

Zhane

Despite being overjoyed at Zhane's return, Andros briefly struggled with his presence among his newfound friends since his hibernation. After learning Ashley was interested in learning telekinesis, Zhane was happy to teach her how to focus her thoughts. Andros quickly grew suspicious of Zhane's motivations, suspecting he was trying to endear himself to Ashley over himself. The friction was brief however, with the two reconciling soon afterwards.

However, during the battles that would follow, Zhane's powers randomly began to inexplicable fail, forcing him to demorph during battles. Zhane knew he needed some help, but was still reluctant to tell the other Rangers. He found Alpha 6 and told him of his problem, although with an ease dropping Cassie and Andros misinterpreted this as Zhane revealing he was actually dying. Andros and Cassie informed the other Rangers, and they all agreed to make Zhane's final days as comfortable as possible. Much to his amusement, Zhane realized what the other Rangers thought and couldn't resist playing along. Zhane eventually discovered the reason he couldn't stay morphed for very long was due to his powers "leaking" as a result of remaining in his morphed form over the course of two years in cryogenic suspension, meaning he'd have to manually recharge them. Discovering an electric storm, he used its raw energy to restore his Digimorpher back to full maximum power. Upon returning to the ship, and unaware the other Rangers had learned the truth, Zhane was pressured into admitting he had taken advantage of his friend's misunderstanding, leaving him covered in cleaning supplies.

Zhane & Astronema

After saving Astronema from one her own monsters, Zhane tended to her needs in a marsh. Once she awakened, Zhane had her taste a roasted marshmallow. Seeing a smile on her face lightened Zhane's day. Astronema left with a quick "thank you", reminding him that they were enemies now and forever. Zhane realized that he had a romantic interest in the Princess of Darkness, as she was interested in the Silver Ranger in return. Zhane received a note from Astronema saying she wanted to meet him at the campfire. Zhane was excited and raced back to the Astro Megaship to get ready for his date. However, he was called into duty to stop Horrorbull and later went to see Astronema. Until he got there, Zhane was very late, which Astronema was really angry for - so angry, she blasted him. She said that she never wanted to see him again. Zhane was devastated. He stood there torched and defeated. The other Rangers tried to get Zhane to talk to them, but Zhane could hardly tell them that his heart had been broken by the Princess of Evil.

As time passed, Zhane recovered from his encounter with Astronema. He still cared for her, but he got on with his life. Andros and Zhane eventually discovered the rebels of KO-35, whom were hiding out from Dark Specter. Realizing the rebels needed more manpower in order to survive, Zhane opted to stay behind with the Rebels, reducing the Rangers to five once more.

Zhane eventually returned to help the Rangers stop an asteroid with his new Mega Winger. When this mission was completed, he joined the others back on the Astro Megaship. He was told that Astronema was actually Andros' missing sister, Karone. Zhane had admitted that he went on a date with her as Astronema, giving them both hope that one day they can help Karone.

Although he most often opted to act on his own, Zhane continued to return and offer his help as much as possible. He helped the Rangers with their various battles and eventual defeat of the Psycho Rangers, even going as far as to disguise himself as Psycho Silver while his teammates were all Blue Rangers. Tvicon TV STORY-Five Of A Kind

Dark Specter launched a full scale attack on the Universe. While Andros went to the Dark Fortress to take on his sister, Zhane led the other Rangers in the battle on Earth. The Rangers, with the help of the citizens of Angel Grove, never gave up and continued to defend Earth. As they were battling, Zordon's wave of energy demorphed the Rangers and destroyed all of the villains on Earth. Zhane and the Rangers returned to KO-35 to help the refugees settle in and returned to Earth to lead a new life.
