The Black Box was an artifact from an alternate Earth that imbued its owner with immense power and enabled them to summon the ClawZord.
History[edit | edit source]
In 150,082 CMT, the Jinx, Terra, and Negative Man of an alternate Earth embarked on a mission to deliver the Black Box to Zev Raregroove. The three metahumans crossed over from their native universe to the Original Universe and emerged in the Battle of Omega Supreme, where they found Zev battered and struggling to maintain control of his body from his inner Hollow, Vez.[1] Jinx handed the Black Box to Zev and began to explain how to activate it, but Serrator blasted the group with lightning before she could finish, sending each of them flying and tossing the Black Box out of their reach.[2]
After the battle against Serrator, Zev held his outstretched hand towards the Black Box and found that it flew into his grasp. Zev held the Black Box above his head as Omega Supreme's turrets fired beams of concussive energy at him, which caused the artifact to emit a protective field around Zev that deflected the beams back into the turrets, destroying them. Zev then gripped the Black Box tighter, causing it to recognize him as the Kirin Ranger and take on a more technological appearance, gaining a golden pattern on its surface. After Zev summoned a high-tech katana and transformed back into his Kirin Ranger form, he opened the Black Box and found that it contained two technological discs on a peg. Zev placed the first disc around his katana's hilt and attached the Black Box to the back of the katana as he prepared to face the next wave of Serrator's demons. Zev uttered the words "Demon-Killing Phase", which caused his ranger suit to gain a long white coat with golden-orange threadwork, and struck down multiple demons with one single swing of the Black Box-powered katana.[3]
Impressed, Zev wondered what other uses the Black Box had and spun the disc that he had placed on his katana, summoning the ClawZord. For reasons unknown, Zev found that he already knew exactly how to pilot the Zord and teleported into its cockpit, transforming it into its Claw Battlezord form and wreaking havoc upon Serrator's demons. However, Zev dismissed the Battlezord when it was toppled by a stronger wave of demon reinforcements.[3]
