The info I have found suggests that he is from Zordon's home planet and is a type of robot. In Super Sentai, his character is not a real Ranger. Maybe he was a Ranger sent from Zordon's planet, to protect him ( the real reason i don't know). Phantom Ranger
here is some of the info I found (I can't post the link to this website for some reason).
During "The Delta Discovery", it is revealed that Phantom Ranger is likely to be an android or at least a cyborg. On the planet Hercuron, Phantom Ranger suffered a near mortal wound at the hands of Ecliptor while trying to inform the Space Rangers of where Zordon is being held. The Space Rangers come to Phantom's aid and they do battle with Divatox, while the Pink Ranger stays to help Phantom Ranger. Phantom Ranger covers a wound on his torso, with his hand and assures the Pink Ranger that he is okay. He tells the Pink Ranger to join the others. After Pink Ranger leaves, Phantom Ranger collapses, revealing circuitry and wires in his wound. (Although it could just be part of his suit).
The Delta Discovery also marks the only episode to credit Alex Dodd for doing the Phantom Ranger's voice. Until further notice, Mackenzie Hartford ( the Operation Overdrive Red Ranger), is the first non-biological good Ranger. If one doesn't count the robot rangers, who once replaced the Turbo Rangers and then no longer appeared . It was never told what happened to them or the Cyborg Rangers. Who once replaced the Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers until a malfunction turned them against their creators. In Power Rangers Turbo's Super Sentai counterpart, Gekisou Sentai Carranger, Phantom Ranger's Japaneseequivalent of the "VRV Master" was actually a very minor character and not a ranger at all.
This marks the only time in which a non-Ranger Sentai character has been designated as a Ranger in Power Rangers. It is rumored that in Chase into Space Part 2, during Power Rangers:Turbo that the Messenger from the Cimmerian Planet is the Phantom Ranger in disguise, trying to buy the rangers some time by getting Divatox out of the way.I got this from wikipedia
