Masked Rider is a 1995 American television series that aired for a single season on Fox Kids. Similar to Power Rangers, it was an adaptation of Kamen Rider Black RX, the ninth TV series in the Kamen Rider franchise, although footage from the films Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J were used as well. Masked Rider appeared in the three episode special A Friend in Need. Masked Rider is similiar to Power Rangers, VR Troopers and Big Bad Beetleborgs in that the show used stock footage from its Japanese counterparts.

Comic BookEdit

In 1996, Marvel Comics published a one shot comic book for the series. The comic featured a second team up between the Masked Rider and the Power Rangers as Dregon sends a planet eating monster to Edenoi, while sending a monster known as the Rhinosaur to Earth. Several Power Rangers Comics showed a prelude to the one shot.
