10 Things I Know About Skylar Deleon and the Mighty Morphin Rangers

Posted by Bill Belew on October 7th, 2008 in Asian News | 15 Comments

I have learned a few things about Skylar Deleon and the Mighty Morphin Rangers.

1. The Mighty Morphin Rangers was created for the American market as a take off of the 16th installment of the Japanese Super Sentai franchise – Kyoro Sentai Zyuranger.

2. The Might Morphin Rangers series ran from 1993-1995.

3. The movie Mighty Morphine Power Rangers: The Movie grew out of this series.

4. Skylar Deleon, 29-years old, starred* as a child actor in the series – he was 14-16 at the time.mightymorphinpowerrangers.jpg

5. Skylar Deleon is on trial for two charges of murder for financial gain.

6. He is accused of killing Tom and Jackie Hawks to get control of their $440,000 yacht.

7. Deleon’s wife, Jennifer Henderson, has already been convicted on counts of murder for financial gain in her role in the same deaths/

8. Deleon also faces charges of murder in a throat-slitting of Jon Peter Jarvie in December ’03 to steal more than $50,000.

9. The Mighty Morphin Rangers are supposed to be good guys….

10. Deleon, if found guilty like his wife, will not be considered a good guy.

My kids loved the Power Rangers growing up in Japan. I’m glad they are old enough now to distinguish between fantasy and reality, elsewise what would they think?

    “Jamie,” why not fill us in with some more bio of this extraordinary creep? Do you remember any conversations you may have had with him or about him. His lack of compassion couldn’t have just materialized out of nowhere as an adult.

    Little rascal~ Found innocent where did you read that at? He was found guilty and will be sentenced in January 2009, and the jury recommended the death penalty. This man is a scum of the worst kind, I wish they would take him out and tie him up and throw him off in the ocean like he did his victims or slit his throat and dump him in the Mexican desert. He don’t deserve a blog and little rascal you should check your facts before you post.

    I went to high school with this guy. I cannot believe how this guy turned out. He graduated in 1998 at Huntington Beach High School under the name John Jacobson and he did appear in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for a split second. My best friend back in high school actually dated this guy. They claim that he had a horrible childhood, however when I knew him, he was a surfer who was in all of the surfing events. I believe what he did to this couple has earned him the right to the death penalty and deserves to never be released from jail.

    Its true that Skylar Deleon was only an extra and had nothing to do with the PR, however, if he did have a leading role, why should that mean that the Power Rangers franchise is evil and wrong and in need of slating? Its one man who did wrong

    Just cos all the actors and actresses were in a programme for kids years ago, does that mean that they have to be Saints??

    Murders wrong and this guy is a piece of shit, but its not the fault of the PRs or anything to do with them… whether he is an extra for one episode (which he was) or a main star
