Every kid who grew up in the 1990s knows about the Power Rangers, teenagers with character who decided to defend Angel Grove with superpowers. It was every kid’s fantasy, but in the decades since the Power Rangers were introduced, the world and lore have deepened considerably. The Power Rangers are much more than Zordon, the Mighty Morphin Team, and Tommy Oliver.
Thanks to dozens of live-action television series and hundreds of comic books published by BOOM! Studios, Power Rangers history now includes ancient aliens, beings who created the multiverse and the Morphin Grid, alternate realities, and Power Rangers teams many fans have never heard of. While these parts of Power Rangers history may be familiar to some, many may be new.
10 Power Rangers was based on Super Sentai
Super Sentai Series
A child watches Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The 1990s may have been the first time people assumed that certain scenes in the series had been shot with different cameras—that the Rangers looked different in and out of costume due to stunt doubles, or that they had two sets of Green Ranger costumes—but that weak dragon shield was a telltale sign.
The Power Rangers are based on a Japanese action show called Super Sentaiand these inconsistencies were just the result of producing an American show where half of the footage came directly from the original series in Japan. Many of the Power Rangers television shows used footage from Japan.

The 10 most important moments from the Power Rangers saga by BOOM! Studios
BOOM! Studios’ eight-year Mighty Morphin Power Rangers epic is finally over, but its most iconic moments changed the entire franchise forever.
Zordon was a fairly one-dimensional character in many early Power Rangers television series, especially Mighty Morphin Power Rangerswhere he served as a team leader and selfless mentor to the original Rangers. However, BOOM! Studios comic readers know that there are many more facets to Zordon.
As from the Powerful Morphine In the comic series, Zordon fought in the Eltarian War and served his home planet of Eltar. However, Zordon is not quite as morally sound as some fans believe. He subjected Rita to centuries of psychological torture in her dumpster prison and often hid the truth from his Power Rangers.

Speaking of Zordon’s misleading past, the Power Rangers’ mentor once formed a Power Rangers team that nobody knew about. BOOM! Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The comic introduced an unprecedented group of rangers assembled for one mission: travel to the moon and defeat the green Psycho Ranger.
Almost all of the team died on this mission, and Grace Sterling, the Red Ranger before Jason Lee Scott, returned to Earth with the Psycho Ranger’s dagger and the knowledge of Zordon’s deception. Zordon’s lies would ultimately hurt him and the modern Rangers, and this is a piece of lore that only Power Rangers fans who have read the comics are privy to.

10 Power Rangers who appear in the most episodes
The Power Rangers’ suits are iconic, but it’s their characters that make them special, and some of them have appeared in many other shows.
The Alien Rangers of Aquitar are one of the lesser-known Power Ranger teams. The miniseries only ran for 10 episodes, but was intended to fill the gap between the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers And Power Rangers Zeo television shows. Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers intervenes exactly where Mighty Morphin Power Rangers closes.
The Alien Rangers went on to battle Master Vile, Lord Zedd, and Rita Repulsa, cementing the importance of the Zeo Crystals. The Alien Rangers are often a footnote in the wider Power Rangers story. However, hardcore fans and those who want to learn everything there is to know about the franchise will be familiar with the aliens from Aquitar.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
The Morphin Masters are god-like beings in the Power Rangers universe. While most of the Power Rangers content focuses on the hero team, keen fans will see the Morphin Masters in television series such as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers And Power Rangers Dino Furyas well as several appearances in BOOM! Studios comics.
The Morphin Masters are similar in many ways to the Guardians of the Universe from the Green Lantern comics. Both the Guardians and the Morphin Masters are ancient beings. Both have studied the universe and sworn to protect it – the Masters in particular have studied and protected the Morphin Grid, the Zeo Crystals, etc. And both are willing to put their feelings aside and do what is necessary, even killing entire civilizations for the greater good.

All Power Rangers and TMNT comic crossover issues, ranked
Each issue of the two MMPR/TMNT comic crossovers has something to offer fans, but some are objectively better than others.
Like the Morphin Masters, the Power Ranger Emissaries are enigmatic beings that casual fans may have missed. The three main Emissaries are flickering versions of the Red, Yellow, and Blue Power Rangers.
Although they act like god-like beings, the Emissaries have individual personalities and goals, as shown during the “Shattered Grid” story arc when the Blue Emissary responded to Zordon’s calls for help. The Emissaries ultimately protect the Morphin Grid and are normally passive observers of the universe. However, due to the increased activity of the Power Ranger teams and the emergence of the Omega Rangers, the Emissaries have begun to play a more active role in the universe.
4 The true power of the Power Rangers Zeo Crystals
Power Rangers Zeo
Power Rangers Zeo was the sequel to Mighty Morphin Power Rangerswhen the Mighty Morphin Team upgraded with new suits, weapons, and powers thanks to the Zeo Crystals. In the Power Rangers universe, the Zeo Crystals are like Marvel’s Infinity Stones; they are incredibly powerful artifacts that grant god-like powers to both heroes and villains.
Although Power Rangers Zeo was not as successful or memorable as its predecessor Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Zeo Crystals became a staple of the franchise and a sort of MacGuffin plot element that gave the Rangers powers and saved their lives.
