* In one issue Squatt and Baboo are having the Putties working on repairing a wall. How do they do this? [[spoiler: By having the Putties pile up and blasting them with a flamethrower turning them into a wall]]

* In the 2016 Annual we get Goldar's backstory: [[spoiler: he and his brothers were members of the Pack, a group of warriors working for Lord Zedd. However his brother Silverback grew tired of being denied the chance for greater missions feeling their talents were being wasted. After being summoned before Lord Zedd they witness the great leader seemingly crippled by his encounter with the Zeo Crystal, hiding his body beneath a cloak. Zedd assigns them the task of assisting Rita on Earth. This proves to be the final straw for Silverback who is outraged at the apparent waste of their strength and declares his intentions of joining Dark Spectre. This enrages Zedd causing him to discard the cloak revealing his scarred body to the brothers who are stunned by the sight leaving Silverback unable to defend himself from Zedd's attack. As the Pack operates by the rules of MightMakesRight Zedd instructs Goldar to strike down his fallen brother stating that he was weak. Goldar complies using his brothers own sword to commit the act. ]]

* What happened to Promethea and everyone on board when Drakkon rewrote the multiverse: they've been shunted into place where there is ''no Morphin Grid''. If it weren't for the Psycho Green dagger, both the ship and the six morphers they have would be completely powerless. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the dagger gets stolen by the mysterious Solar Ranger after a fake distress beacon lures most of the morphed team away from the ship leaving it defenseless. This causes everyone to demorph, and the away team has to deal with an ambush by a group of monsters.]]

* In the 2017 Annual we get Finster's backstory: [[spoiler: he was once a {{sculptor|s}} who made pretty art, but grew restless and began committing crimes across his town to inspire his monster sculptures. When his wife discovered his actions they got into a fight and Finster accidentally murdered her. Rita then came to him and recruited him to shape her monsters. Over the centuries Finster worked on a special clay model of his wife but once he brings her to life, she continues to plead for him to stop. So Finster grabs an ax and kills her again. He decides that the model wasn't perfect and that the next one will be...]]

* After the Rangers, Saba, and Zordon learn that [[spoiler:Lord Drakkon is alive, Saba makes the decision to spare his allies from the sociopathic tyrant’s wrath by teleporting to Drakkon’s cell to shoot him with his EyeBeams. However, Saba miscalculates and winds up releasing Drakkon, who goes on to ''snap Saba’s head from his body.'' To make matters worse, Saba’s lifeless body can still generate portals, so Drakkon escapes. And just to show how twisted Drakkon is, he goes on to use Saba’s corpse as his WeaponOfChoice.]]

* The first issue of the Justice League crossover starts off with [[spoiler: a gigantic crater in the middle of Angel Grove and dialogue implying that ''everyone is dead'']].
** You can breathe a sigh of relief, [[spoiler: issue 2 implies that Brainiac shrank down Angel Grove and captured it instead of the city being destroyed.]]

* But of course, the best Nightmare Fuel is saved for last. Billy and Tommy find themselves in [[spoiler: an alternate universe where TheBadGuyWins. Yes folks, Rita succeeds and takes over the world: Martial Law, curfews, the high school's replaced with a "re-education' center, the standard evil tropes. Hell, the population of Earth, after the token attempt at resistance, quickly bowed down. And of course, the Command Center's gone (and the Thunderzords reduced to scrap), Zordon, Alpha, and the Rangers are dead, with the Power Coins taken by Rita's apprentice (later revealed to have usurped control of the Earth from Rita herself) Lord Drakkon. Now, as you're reading this, you're slowing putting things together with a sense of dread... yep, Lord Drakkon, is the man formerly known as Thomas James Oliver, who cemented himself by, as it's implied, killing Jason, and also stealing Zordon's last attempt at defense, that being the White Tiger coin, merging with the Dragon Coin to produce a suit that's a visual amalgamation of both his "prime" universe suits. Having taunted Zordon before killing him, Ninjor, and Alpha, this is pretty much the most horrifying scenario one could imagine. Oh, and to drive home the point... no spell. He's doing this all of his own free will, the reason being that he rejected the Rangers after the initial spell was broken. And since Nightmare Fuel comes in layers, not long after the above reveal, we're introduced to Drakkon's personal assassin, the "Ranger Slayer". Context is required here; of the original five Rangers, Jason's dead, Billy's dead, and both Zack & Trini are members of a small resistance group known as the "Coinless". You are now doing a headcount and realizing there's one left. Yep. Evil or not, you can't have Tommy Oliver... without Kimberly Hart.]]

* In the opening pages of Issue 25, the CrisisCrossover ''Shattered Grid'' begins, and takes the nightmare fuel ''beyond'' UpToEleven. In the first few pages, we see the [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force Power Rangers]] investigating an ominous fracture that is tearing space and time apart, threatening [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers at least]] [[Series/PowerRangersRPM three alternate]] [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge dimensions]]. Then, in a sudden burst of energy, Lucas, Trip, and Katie are expelled from the Megazord, sent tumbling into the rift. Then, in order to cover Jen’s escape so she can SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, the Megazord explodes with Wes inside it. Then, a shadow reaches through the fracture — the giant silhouette of Lord Drakkon nearly grabs Jen, who just barely pulls off a NarrowEscape. So in one go, we have nearly the entire Time Force team seemingly killed, leaving behind a woman who watched ''another'' man she loved die in front of her. If you can recall how broken she was when Alex was seemingly killed... yeah.
** Plus, considering Wes and Alex have similar faces... yeah... it could be like watching the same person die all over again. Poor Jen.
* [[spoiler:Main universe Tommy and Kimberly, who have been having some issues as of late, decide to go on a date. At the end of it, Tommy tries to kiss her, but Kim insists on taking it slow. As he leaves, she has a change of heart and runs after him. She never gets that kiss. Because at that moment, she sees two of him... well, him and someone who ''used'' to be him. Yes, Lord Drakkon arrives behind Tommy... and commits the most elaborate form of suicide one would ever see. Headless Saba, right through Tommy's heart. Jen arrives to fight him off, but we know it's too late. Thomas James Oliver, the character who for a quarter-century was and is, regardless of medium, the face of Power Rangers, dies in Kimberly Hart's arms. True, this may be reversed later, but for now...]]
** [[spoiler: Let this sink in, Kyle Higgins, the man behind the Boom!MMPR universe... ''actually got permission to kill off the man who defines the franchise''.]]
