DR. MICHAEL ZASKIN

Dr. Michael Zaskin - Ken Merckx

Dr. Michael Zaskin works for Mr. Collins and Bio-Labs.  He is the head scientist working on unlocking the quantum technology to make it available to all the Silver Guardians.  He was at the press conference when Mr. Collins made the announcement that the Quantum Ranger was the leader of the Silver Guardians and the technology would soon be used by all the Silver Guardians.  Dr. Zaskin is also the father of Holly.  The day following the press announcement, Dr. Zaskin was leaving for work when his daughter, Holly ran out of the house.  He had forgotten to tell her goodbye.  Dr. Zaskin gave Holly several goodbye kisses as he apologized for forgetting.  Holly laughed and headed back into the house.  Dr. Zaskin entered his car and was soon surrounded by several Cyclobots and Nadira.  Dr. Zaskin tried to fight them all off.  To make matters worse, Holly had come back outside and watched in horror at her father being attacked.  Nadira wanted Holly as well and told the Cyclobots to go after her.  Dr. Zaskin yelled at his daughter to ran and she took off.  Dr. Zaskin was taken to an abandoned warehouse where they interrogated him about the quantum technology.  Dr. Zaskin refuse to give them any information, knowing it would be used to destroy Silver Hills.  Nadira told Dr. Zaskin he would change his mind once they had his daughter.  Dr. Zaskin was worried.  Later, Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Green Ranger appeared.  Dr. Zaskin was very relieved to see them.  The Rangers battled the Cyclobots.  Pink Ranger came over and freed Dr. Zaskin.  Pink Ranger also used Dr. Zaskin to fight off several Cyclobots.  Afterwards, she told him that he had good moves.  Nadira had managed to capture Dr. Zaskin again and was about to leave when Eric and the Silver Guardians appeared.  Eric shot at Nadira and cause her to let go of Dr. Zaskin.  Nadira realized that she was surrounded and vanished.  Eric walked up to Dr. Zaskin and asked him if he was okay.  Dr. Zaskin wearily replied that he was.  Dr. Zaskin started to walk out with Eric, but then turned around and told the Rangers thanks.  Dr. Zaskin got into a waiting car and Red Ranger told Eric to take good care of him.  Later, Dr. Zaskin was back at his house and burst outside when he saw Holly was safely returned by Lucas.  They ran to each other and Dr. Zaskin was very happy to see that she was okay.  They went into their home together.

Dr. Zaskin was working at Bio-Labs with Eric.  Dr. Zaskin had Eric's morpher elevated on a table.  He had Eric say the phrase "quantum power" into a microphone.  The microphone echoed repeated the words "quantum power", but the morpher does nothing.  Dr. Zaskin was frustrated.  He knew there was more data in the morpher, but he did not know how to retrieve it.  Eric asked Dr. Zaskin why the morpher was so hard to figure out.  Dr. Zaskin tells Eric that the morpher had technology he had never seen.  He started to tinker with the morpher, telling Eric that it was like the morpher was from the future.  Eric ask how that was possible when it was found at an archeological dig.  Dr. Zaskin didn't know.  The alarm went off.  Eric grabbed his morpher and told Dr. Zaskin that duty calls.  Dr. Zaskin watched Eric leave, knowing he hadn't gotten any closer to unlocking the secrets of the quantum morpher.  Later, in Mr. Collins office, Mr. Collins congratulated Dr. Zaskin on the mega battle mode on the quantum morpher.  Dr. Zaskin told Mr. Collins that he had nothing to do with it and didn't know how the morpher had gain mega battle mode.  Mr. Collins glanced at the bruised Eric and asked him if he had found out any additional information.  Eric replied that he hadn't and then lowered his face - Eric had recently found out that his morpher and Wes' four friends, Jen, Trip, Lucas, and Katie were from the year 3000.  Mr. Collins contemplated Eric for a moment and then returned to Dr. Zaskin, telling him that they needed to know more information about the quantum power.

Dr. Zaskin was working on producing the serum that Wes had brought to his dad to help cure the citizens of Silver Hills who had been bitten by Venomark.  The serum was a success and Dr. Zaskin was in charge of producing more.  Dr. Zaskin was in the lab working when it was attacked by Ransik.  Ransik lifted Dr. Zaskin off his feet by his neck and demanded to know where the serum was.  Dr. Zaskin pointed and Ransik dropped him.  Dr. Zaskin was hurt.  Dr. Zaskin dragged himself along and saw and overheard Mr. Collins confrontation with Ransik.  Mr. Collins was blasted away and greatly hurt as well.

The following day, Dr. Zaskin, who had recovered, went to the Silver Hills hospital to see Mr. Collins.  He ran into Wes, sitting in Mr. Collins' room.  Dr. Zaskin commented that Mr. Collins was not doing well and Wes acknowledge it.  Dr. Zaskin told Wes that he was surprised to hear that he had taken over Bio-Labs.  Wes bitterly told Dr. Zaskin it was what his father would have wanted.  Dr. Zaskin told Wes that he was wrong.  He told Wes that he had been in the lab and injured when he saw and overheard Mr. Collins confrontation with Ransik.  Dr. Zaskin repeated the conversation to Wes, telling him that Mr. Collins angrily told Ransik that he had tried to destroy his son. Mr. Collins had also told Ransik had he known that the serum would help him, he would have pour it down the drain himself.  Ransik had mocked Mr. Collins, calling him the proud father when he knew that Mr. Collins had thrown Wes out of his life.  Mr. Collins told Ransik that he had tried to plan his son's life, but Wes had chosen to make his own destiny and he would always be proud of him for it.  Wes was stunned that his father was proud of him.  Dr. Zaskin told Wes it was true, Mr. Collins was proud of Wes.

Dr. Zaskin walked into Mr. Collins' office.  He was very excited.  Dr. Zaskin told Mr. Collins that they had found a way to use the power of the Trizirium.  He passed a two halves of crystal and told Mr. Collins that the power can make the Trizirium crystal.  Mr. Collins held the two halves and then brought them together.  The glow from the crystal became much stronger.  Dr. Zaskin told him there was enough power in a Trizirium crystal to power up an entire city.  Mr. Collins grinned and told Dr. Zaskin to get to work on it right away.

Dr. Zaskin called Mr. Collins.  Mr. Collins was in his limo, searching for Wes, when he answered the phone.  Dr. Zaskin told him that they found out what was causing the time vortexes to open.  Doomtron and Q-Rex both operated on Trizirium crystals.  The energy from the two crystals battling each other was causing the time vortexes to open.  Mr. Collins thanked Dr. Zaskin for the information.
