Main Character Index | Rangers | Allies | Other Rangers | Villains

1969 Ranger Team

Team as a whole

in 1969 morphed and unmorphed

• Canon Foreigner: None of them have counterparts that are even mentioned in the show, nor in Super Sentai.
• Ragtag Bunch of Misfits / Teeth-Clenched Teamwork / We ARE Struggling Together: A member of the American Space Program, a Veteran serving in Vietnam, a college activist, a British singer, and a member of the KGB. In 1969! Zordon REALLY should have done some modern research before just throwing these five together because this goes as well as you might expect it to. Daniel, a member of the counter culture movement clashes with war veteran Terona while British Jamie immediately argues with Nikolai. This isn't helped by the fact that they're supposed to take on a psychotic alien who ends up killing three of them.
• Remember the New Guy?: Are a team of Power Rangers put together in 1969 before the classic team from the series was even born.

Red Ranger

Grace Sterling

Grace in present day

Grace in 1969

• Badass Normal: She's in her 60s, but that doesn't stop her from piloting a Humongous Mecha to help the current team of Rangers.
• Big Good: Looks to be this for the Beyond The Grid story.
• Broken Pedestal: Trini is seen reading her autobiography, Billy was looking for an internship at her company, and all the Rangers are amazed to learn that she's a former Power Ranger herself. However, the entire team and Jason in particular come to question her methods when she starts acting a little too proactive in their fight against Finster's monsters, and especially after the Rangers learn that she's been keeping Lord Drakkon captive in Promethea without telling them.
• Cool Old Lady: She was Power Ranger in her twenties, and forty-odd years later, she runs a corporation specializing in research leaps and bound she ahead of the status quo, pilots a giant robot, and tries to impart some wisdom onto the current team.
• The Cynic: Not entirely without some justification, but she utterly hates Zordon by the present day, and refuses to see any good in him or his actions. Zordon doesn't exactly help his case by being overbearing towards her. Eventually, Aisha just gets fed up of it and calls her out on it.
• Jumped at the Call: The only member of the 1969 Rangers to whole-heartedly agree. Ever since she was young, she'd dreamed of going to the moon, and she's thrilled when the opportunity arises to do just that. However, it's quickly deconstructed when she realizes how unprepared she actually is to do such a thing, especially in such a high-stakes situation.
• The Leader: Of the 1969 Power Rangers and later the founder of Promethea.
• My Greatest Failure: Decades later, she still blames herself for what happened to Jamie, Daniel, and Nikolai, and has since dedicated herself and her company to changing the world for the better, though the Rangers begin to question if she's taking it too far.
• Older and Wiser: Compared to when she was in her twenties. She acts as a sort of mentor to Jason, knowing first hand how difficult being the Red Ranger can be.
• Rookie Red Ranger: Everyone In the 1969 team is new to this, having minutes to prepare before they are sent to stop Psycho Green. It's especially pointed with Grace, because while she had extensive knowledge of the Moon, she has no idea how to actually lead a team, let alone one as mismatched as the Rangers of 1969.
• Villains Act, Heroes React: Explored through her. She has good intentions and is very proactive in her goal to make the world a better place, but as Zordon points out, Ranger powers are designed to protect and defend the world as it is, not to change it. The Rangers grow suspicious of her when they feel she may be going too far, such as when she starts policing a city without official consent to try and find a monster, or when they learn that she has Drakkon.
• Wealthy Philanthropist: The CEO of the multi-billion dollar Promethea organization, much of her work focuses on improving the world to honor the memory of her fallen teammates.

Yellow Ranger

Terona Washington

in 1969

Present day

• Black Dude Dies First: Averted, he's one of the only two survivors of the Moon battle with Psycho Green along with Grace.
• Token Minority: The only non-white member of the team.
• The Vietnam Vet: He fought in Vietnam, and the things he saw there make him harsh towards Daniel for his civilian perspective on the war and what happened there.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: While Grace shows up in the present, Terona is no where to be seen and it is not mentioned what happened after he left the Command Center. It's later revealed he's been working with Grace and is aboard the Promethea when it gets lost in time and space during the final battle with Drakkon.

Blue Ranger

Nikolai Chukarin

• Due to the Dead: Despite butting heads with the other Rangers, he commends Jamie and Daniel as having "died bravely" to protect the world, something he does in return.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He dives into the mouth of Psycho Green's monster form with a gun stolen from the still imprisoned Rita's castle to take out Psycho Green.
• Knight in Sour Armor: He's a bitter person and handles the deaths of his teammates the best as "it happens." That said, he's willing to work with people who are technically his enemies to protect the entire world and his last words are a request for Grace to make the world a better place.
• Last Request: "We will save the Earth today Grace, make sure it's worth saving." His words leave such an impact on Grace that she's become the head of a philanthropic tech company when she reappears in the present.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: As a Russian in the 60s he's not exactly on the best terms with the rest of the Rangers who are American and British. He's still willing to lay down his life for the cause however.

Pink Ranger

Daniel O'Halloran

• Batman Can Breathe in Space: Horribly Averted for the very first time in franchise history when Psycho Green breaks his helmet and he suffocates to death.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: He tried to get revenge on Psycho Green by rushing him solo, but all that accomplished was the Psycho Ranger shattering his visor with an open palm strike and leaving him to suffocate to death. The others try to save him but Green doesn't give them the chance.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Justified as he wasn't thinking straight after Jamie died, but he rushed Psycho Green to get revenge despite his Power Weapon being the Power Bow.
• Real Men Wear Pink: And he's not too happy about it.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: Is killed on the moon by Psycho Green in his first appearance.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: He's not too happy to work with Terona due to the Yellow Ranger being The Vietnam Vet while Daniel is a war protester.

Black Ranger

Jamie Gilmore

• British Rockstar: She was a member of a British band called "The Familiars"
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Psycho Green kills her by smashing her beneath an enormous boulder as she begs for him to spare her.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: Is killed on the Moon by Psycho Green in her first appearance.

Beyond the Grid team

Team as a whole

^{As Solar Rangers} 

• 11th-Hour Superpower: In the penultimate chapter of Beyond the Grid, Ellarien breaks the Solarix in pieces in order to share its power with the other Rangers, adding to their existing powers and turning them into Solar Rangers.
• Limited Wardrobe: Justified because their original mission was to rescue the captured Rangers and then get back to Earth. So when they ended up in The Void, all they had were the clothes on their backs and whatever supplies were on the Promethea.
• Perpetual Frowner: Initially due to the dire circumstances they're in, there's not much for them to smile about but changes when Ellarien joins them.
• Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: They're comprised of six members from six different teams, including one from a Bad Future and another who wasn't brought over for his season's adaptation.

Ranger Slayer

Kimberly Ann Hart / Pink Solar Ranger

For her entry, see "World of the Coinless"

Zeo Ranger II

Tanya Sloan / Yellow Solar Ranger

• The Heart: She is the one to remind the group that as Power Rangers, it's their duty to help people when they're reluctant to answer a distress beacon. She also suggests they try nonviolent methods to defuse situations, such as trying to talk the Praetor into not attacking the Promethea or trying to convince his soldiers into standing down.
• Ship Tease: This seems to be happening with her and Mike. They get together by issue #36.

Red Space Ranger

Andros / Red Solar Ranger

• Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Which given what happens with Andros in the show is saying something... in addition to what happens with Karone, Darkonda also killed his parents while unleashing the Barrilian Bugs. The comics also confirm the fan-held theory that Andros is the last of his and Zane's original team, leaving him with severe Survivor's Guilt.
• Big Brother Instinct:
  • Deconstructed as his top priority is always returning to Karone's side, leaving him distracted from the bigger picture. His teammates call him out on this in Issue #37.
  • Taken to a further degree with his other comic appearances, particularly in "The Trial of Astronema" where he creates a hologram of Astronema in order to fool the public into believing that Karone and Astronema were actually different beings and subsequently rescue Karone from her trial. Karone, who had been hoping to properly atone for her crimes as Astronema, is not pleased.
• Brother–Sister Team: With Karone in the “Beyond the Grid” Arc.
• Flanderization: The "Countdown to Ruin" one-shot depicts him as being unhealthily obsessive over Karone.
• Human Alien: Originally came from KO-35.

Magna Defender

Mike Corbett / Black Solar Ranger

• Badass Cape: He has one as part of his normal Ranger suit which carries over to his new Solar Ranger form.
• Birds of a Feather: In issue #30, when everyone is preparing for the final battle, just about every other Ranger is binding cross-team with their helmets off. Everyone except for the Phantom Ranger and the Manga Defender, who asks the former if he's a "helmet on kind of guy", finding that cool about him. This is a shout-out to the fact that these are two of the most mysterious rangers in the history of the series.
• Death Seeker: He sees himself as expendable and takes risks so the rest of the team doesn't have to, citing the fact he has already died once.
• Ship Tease: With Tanya but he believes that the feelings aren't returned, he’s wrong and they're together by issue #36.
• Survivor's Guilt: Has this in spades and it gets used against him in Issue #37 by the Praetor, who promises that when he comes for the group he will kill everyone but Mike so he will be forced to live with being the Sole Survivor again.

Green Samurai Ranger

Cameron "Cam" Watanabe / Green Solar Ranger

• Gosh Darn It to Heck!: Though Power Rangers isn't known for any harsh language, Cam at one point says "Oh peas and rice.".
• Intergenerational Friendship: With Heckyl, who he tries and occasionally succeeds in getting to smile.
• Same Character, But Different: In his own season, Cam was a calm Deadpan Snarker or the Straight Man to the antics of the rest of his team. Here, he's been trying to crack jokes to make other people smile and panics a lot in response to what's been happening.

Dark Ranger

Heckyl / Blue Solar Ranger

Unmorphed and Morphed

• A Day in the Limelight: Issue #35 focuses on him and how he became the Dark Ranger.
• Adaptational Heroism: Not Heckyl himself, but his Dark Ranger suit, which is the evil-only Deathryuger suit rather than the good version, Kyoryu Navy^note which replaces the red on the helmet and arms with silver and navy, respectively, lacks the fin armor on the right arm, and doesn't have the Flute Buster for a weapon, that was introduced in Kyoryuger's post-series special.
  • Composite Character: This makes Heckyl a counterpart to both Ferocious Knight D (making Badussa a Decomposite Character) and Dai-kun, the alignment of the latter, but with the design and weapon of the former.
    • This is taken further when his focus issue shows that his Ranger suit originally had the Kyoryu Navy coloration before changing.
  • Mythology Gag: Heckyl is heavily based off Enter, primary villain of Tokumei Sentai Go Busters, though both his actor and the executive producer of Dino Charge have claimed it was unintentional. There, Enter gained his own Ranger-like form called Dark Buster during the endgame. Here, Heckyl finally follows that part of the inspiration, though by this time, he's a good guy.
• Affectionate Nickname: "Dimples" because he has them when he smiles.
• Apologetic Attacker: Tells Zenowing he's sorry as he shoves his mentor into a room and melting the doorknob, locking him inside.
• The Atoner: It's unclear how much time has passed for him after being given a second chance, but he still feels guilty about the things he did when he was evil. This is compounded with the fact that when he first used the Dark Energem to become a Ranger and defeat Lord Arcanon, it nearly led to him being corrupted again only for Zenowing to intervene and sacrifice himself to save Heckyl.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: Wears a suit that is the color of his Keeper robes with gold accents, gifted to him by new friends he made on Sentai 6.
• Birds of a Feather: With Ranger Slayer because they're both reformed villains.
• Bizarre Alien Senses: He's able to see in ultraviolet light, apparently it's great a parties.
• Cooldown Hug: On the receiving end from Zenowing when the Dark Energem started corrupting his Ranger form.
• Depending on the Artist: The location and appearance of his skunk stripe changes from issue to issue, going from the right side of his head to the front and going back and forth on being just a few strands of hair to a solid streak.
• God-Created Canon Foreigner: The Ranger form existed in Kyoryuger as a movie exclusive character but was not brought over for Dino Charge.
• Hidden Depths: He's apparently very good with technology, being able to create a smaller but functionally identical copy of Zenowing's morpher without him knowing.
• Human Alien: Originally came from Sentai 6.
• Intergenerational Friendship: With everyone, due to the fact he's millions of years old, but more so with Cam who tries and occasionally succeeds in making him smile. This is strengthened further in #35 after Heckyl reveals his backstory to Cam and Kim, prompting Kim to come up with a drink sharing ritual to cement their bond.
• Interspecies Friendship: On Sentai 6 he befriended a harpy-looking woman named Illia and a male centaur with small antlers named Rydan.
• Irony: His original outfit was blue, but now that he's a Ranger (and for the purposes of the team seen as a Blue) he's wearing red which goes against the tradition of Rangers wearing their colors out of suit.
• Mundane Utility: He used his own electricity to help build his morpher.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: His paranoia about Lord Arcanon coming to Sentai 6, despite the Dark Energem being better hidden, led to his decision to create a morpher to protect it and his planet. It turns out that this time around Arcanon was drawn to the planet because of the morpher Heckyl made. If he had listened to Zenowing's advice he wouldn't have run the risk of being corrupted by the Dark Energem again and forced Zenowing to sacrifice himself to save him.
• Nonindicative Name: His Ranger title would indicate an evil or formally villainous Ranger, but he only became a Ranger after he turned good and the name is the result of following the naming scheme from his season where the Rangers were called the same thing as their Energem color.
• Old Shame: In-Universe. His time as a villain is an obvious sore spot for him, to the point that he hadn't told anyone else the entirety of his past or how he became a Ranger until Issue #35 where he reveals it to Cam and Kim, with the rest of the team being informed offscreen by Issue #37.
• Tragic Keepsake: His current morpher originally belonged to Zenowing, who passed it onto Heckyl when he died.
• The Shadow Knows: In his backstory, his shadow would occasionally take on the shape of Snide, showing that Heckyl was haunted by his darker self or by his previous actions.
• You Can't Go Home Again: After his actions led to Zenowing's death and afraid that he would bring about his planet's destruction again, Heckyl decides not to return to Sentai 6.

Solar Ranger

Ellarien

• Facial Markings: Has a two large yellow marks on the left side of her face: one along her jaw, the other starting at her hairline and goes down to her cheek.
• Man of Kryptonite: Thanks to her Solarix's ability to drain one's connection to the Morphin' Grid, she's this to any Power Ranger. During the Necessary Evil arc, she's brought in by the Power Rangers to deal with The Anointed, individuals empowered by the Morphin' Grid, using said ability to cut them off cold turkey.
• No Honor Among Thieves: Doesn't blame her friends for selling her out to the Crimson Raiders, either for a reward or just to live, knowing how difficult it is to survive in their universe.
• Original Generation: Has no Super Sentai counterpart, but seems to have been inspired by Uchu Sentai Kyuranger.
• Purple Is Powerful: Their outfit is various shades of purple and is patterned to look like a galaxy.
• The Sixth Ranger: Well Seventh, but after her first confrontation with the team, she is quickly set up to be this after revealing that she's trying to keep a powerful artifact out of the hands of a much larger threat. It turns out to be the case with this suit in general, being the 7th of the Solar Rangers that arrived alongside the Praetor.
• Street Urchin: Was one growing up and was part of a small group that worked together to survive.
• The Unchosen One: Believes the only reason the Solarix came into her possession is because there was no one else to carry it.

Other Rangers

Time Force Pink Ranger

Jennifer “Jen” Scotts

A Power Ranger from the future who has come to present day Angel Grove to stop a crisis involving Lord Drakkon.

---

• Action Girl: A given for any female Ranger.
• A Day in the Limelight: Sins of the Future has her as the main character, with her trying to figure out why a mysterious Black Time Force Ranger is after her after they intterupt her and Wes' date trying to kill her.
• Bad Future: More like no future at all. Lord Drakkon's messing with the Morphin Grid has caused a Time Crash, and all of reality itself is being affected.
  • She ends up in another one during Sins of the Future after the Black Time Force Ranger's first attack, where she's targeted by all of Time Force for the crime of killing Alex.
• Big Damn Hero: Zigzagged. She arrives in a massive burst of energy, Chrono Blaster blazing, to help Kimberly fight off Lord Drakkon, but she's too late to save Tommy's life.
• Cosmic Plaything:
  • Combined with Unwitting Instigator of Doom and a little bit of Irony. She has now witnessed three deaths of a Pink Ranger's boyfriend. Alex back in the Time Force premiere, Wes at the beginning of Issue #25 and she arrived just in time to see Tommy die in Kim's arms.
  • Continues to be this in Sins of the Future, where not only is Time Force making her end her relationship with Wes at the start of the story, her brakeup date is interrupted by a unknown Ranger trying to kill her, her return to the future is met with a alternate Time Force trying to arrest her for the murder of Alex and on top of that, Wes ends up dead again at the hands of said Ranger alongside the entirety of Silver Hills due to an anomoly.
• Easily Forgiven: Despite trying to kill her multiple times and causing Wes' death and the Bad Future they're in, she forgives Time Force Black and convinces her to work with her the moment she learns that they're Alex's sister Cyra and she's blinded by grief from her brother's death, trying to save him in her own misunderstood way.
• Long-Distance Relationship: Sins of the Future reveals that she and Wes are still a couple post-series, with her using Time Force's time travel tests as a way to see him.
• Set Right What Once Went Wrong: She's come to Angel Grove to prevent Lord Drakkon's plan of destruction. Based on her reaction when she sees Tommy Oliver's death, that mission is already off to a rocky start.
  • Does it again in Sins, where after learning about Wes' death and the disappearance of Silver Hills, she works with Hyperforce!Nadira to get down to the mystery of who the Black Time Force Ranger is to prevent both things from happening and fix her timeline.
• Sole Survivor: In the opening pages of Issue #25, she's powerless to watch as three of her fellow Time Force Rangers fall into a fracture in space and time, and immediately after that, she loses her Red Ranger when their Megazord explodes with him inside it!
  • Issue 29 reveals that Eric is still alive, possibly due to remaining in his own time period while the rest of the team had been investigating the anomaly at the beginning of the event.
• Time Police: A given since she's part of a group called Time Force.

Red Samurai Ranger II

Lauren Shiba

Leader of the Samurai Rangers

---

• Adaptational Expansion: In Power Rangers Samurai, Lauren is an 11th-Hour Ranger who arrived in the last few episodes to replace Jayden and is quickly re-replaced by Jayden for the final battle, here she's The Leader again while her brother is off investigating the reappearance of the Nighlok.
• Big Sister Mentor: Offers some words of wisdom to Jason.
• Commonality Connection: She finds a kindred spirit in Jason, as they're both Red Rangers all too familiar with The Chains of Command and losing people they care about.
• Lady of War: Descended from ancient Japanese samurai warriors and has trained her entire life to defeat the Nighlok.
• Magic Knight: Skilled with swords and symbol magic.
• Older Than They Look: Word of God says that she's 25, but due to the art style and her height (the Real Life actress is fairly short) she can be mistaken for a teenager.
• Playing with Fire: Her magical specialty.
• Same Character, But Different: Downplayed and Justified because Lauren got very little screen time in her series, and this is several years after the events of Samurai. There, she was portrayed as a reserved Lady of War who had trouble integrating into the team. Years later, she's fully integrated into the group and shows a more playful side, such as her excitement to go for a ride in the Tyrannosaurus Zord.
• Ship Tease: With Jason throughout Shattered Grid, confirmed to be mutual on both sides in the final issue of the event.
• Sole Survivor: She is the only one to escape Drakkon's attack on the Shiba House, aside from her brother and Mentor Ji who were away at the time.

Galaxy Pink II

Karone

• All for Nothing: A small example, but preventing her brother from destroying the Data Cards ends up being for nothing when she destroys them anyway to show the Psycho Rangers she trusts them as individuals.
• The Atoner: An important part of her character is that she believes she needs to atone, one way or another, for her crimes as Astronema. In the 2018 Anniversary issue, she has no problem being executed by the court because she felt she had to pay for what she did to their planets as Astromena, and got mad when Andros effectively prevents that. Her main arc in ‘The Psycho Path’ she tries to make up for her actions as Astronema by redeeming the resurrected Psycho Rangers, seeing them as her responsibility.
• Brother–Sister Team: With Andros in The Beyond the Grid Arc.
• Human Alien: Originally came from KO-35.
• Hypocrite: Despite constantly preventing Trek from destroying the current set of Psycho Rangers and remaking them from the Data Cards, she ultimately decides to destroy the current set of Psycho Rangers and bring them back with the Data Cards, so they can be brought back with a better sense of morality. Natually, all of them call her out on this.
• Fights Like a Normal: She revealed to Psycho Green that she still had her Astronema powers, and just chose not to use them.
• Morality Pet: Thanks to exploiting Trek's reprogramming of them, she makes herself this to the Psycho Rangers, making them focus on non-lethal options, treating them as individuals, and making them bond as a team.
• Out of Focus: Though she's one of the few Rangers still capable of morphing on board the Promethea, she's left out of any major events during Beyond the Grid except the final battle against the Praetor where everyone else was participating.

Other Rangers on Promethea

As a Whole

• Brought Down to Normal: They were all without their Morphers when the Promethea was lost in time and space because they had just been rescued from Drakkon's prison.
• The Resenter: In Issue #36, Karone tells Cam that a lot of the refugees from Drakkon's prison resent his team because they still have powers and thus can do the most to help those in the Void.

Mia Watanabe (Samurai Pink Ranger)

• One-Steve Limit: Mia has no relation to Cam that we know of.
• Team Chef: Or at least tries to be.

Joel Rawlings (Green Lightspeed Ranger)

Tyler Navarro (Dino Charge Red)

T.J. Johnson (Blue Space Ranger)

Orion (Super Megaforce Silver Ranger)

Riley Griffin (Dino Charge Green Ranger)

Conner McKnight (Dino Thunder Red Ranger)

Dana Mitchell (Pink Lightspeed Ranger)

Zenowing

• Death by Origin Story: He sacrifices himself by using his magic to save Heckyl from being corrupted by the Dark Energem again, which is why he did not take part in Shattered Grid.
• The Mentor: Acted as this towards Heckyl after they arrived on Sentai 6, teaching him how to hide the Dark Energem but Zenowing also tried to get Heckyl to make the most of his second chance and to just enjoy life.

Super Sonic Rangers

Ace (Red), Star (Pink), Gent (Black), Brute (Blue), Pyre (Yellow) and Trek (Green)

the team

A team of Rangers from Xyberia from long before the events of MMPR. They were all betrayed and killed by Trek, who joined Dark Specter and became Psycho Green.

---

• Ascended Extra: And how! SuperSonic was introduced in a scene from Super Megaforce that adapted a scene from Gokaiger in which Gokai Yellow changed into the Yellow Ranger from Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman, which had not been adapted into a Power Rangers series. Here the Rangers all get names and a back story.
• Love Triangle: Star used to date Trek but they broke up and she's now dating Ace.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: Unlike their Fiveman counterparts, none of these Rangers (barring Green) are siblings.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: All but one are killed off in the short story that they are introduced in.

Time Force Red Ranger

Wesley “Wes” Collins

Silver Space Ranger

Zhane of KO-35

• Dark and Troubled Past: Same deal as Andros, being from KO-35 and all, but he was more upbeat about the whole thing.
• Doomed by Canon: Andros's attempts to revive him obviously aren't going to work, because Zhane won't be up and about full time until In Space.
• Human Popsicle: After being badly injured in a battle with a monster. It's Billy who eventually hits upon the idea of using morphing energy to slowly restore him, though he's not a hundred percent certain it'll work.
• Innocently Insensitive: He volunteered Andros for the position of Red Ranger. Andros flipped out, thinking doing so would be giving up on Karone.
• The Lost Lenore: Andros is just a little determined to revive his teammate. A little too determined, to the extent he ends up making a spectacularly bad decision, unleashing the Death Ranger.
• Nightmare Fetishist: As a kid, he thought the idea of the Death Ranger sounded pretty cool (though in fairness, he was a kid). Presumably less so when they use him as a vessel.

Loriyan

Green Ranger

A thief who worked for Rita Repulsa over ten thousand years ago and Tommy Oliver's predecessor as wielder of the Green Dragon Power Coin, which apparently didn’t last long.

---

• Posthumous Character: Is only shown in a flashback and has been dead for over ten thousand years otherwise.

Phantom Ranger

Unknown

• A Day in the Limelight: He's the only Ranger present in the Unlimited Evil one-shot.
• Brought Down to Badass: After his possession by Dark Spectre, Ori of the Legendary Team gives him the means to control his powers, telling him that with the power contained he'll merely have "a phantom" of what he once had. Of course, this still leaves him a Power Ranger.
• Doomed Hometown: Dark Spectre invades and destroys his world. Which was Earth.
• Failure Hero: He doesn't quite manage to save Rita or her mother, and he doesn't quite manage to stop Dark Spectre getting into the universe.
• I Work Alone: His initial attitude. He was an arrogant jerk, and he pays for it in the worst way.
• Man of Kryptonite: The morphing energy he's made of is one of the few things that can drive Dark Spectre back, however temporarily.
• Martyr Without a Cause: The Tenga High Priest accuses him of being obsessed with trying to sacrifice himself to make up for his mistakes, overlooking that this would be a loss for the good guys, while any bad guy he takes out in the process can be easily replaced.
• My Greatest Failure: Blames himself for what happened to the Legendary Team, since it was his experiments that gave Dark Spectre the means of getting into the universe.
• Mysterious Past: Same as in Turbo and In Space, the reader learns nothing about who he is or where he comes from, only vague hints. Even Universe, which has him as a main character, doesn't shed much light on who he was or what he looked like before he got stuck in that suit.
• No Name Given: He does have a name, but the one time he tries to give it, he's interrupted. The only other person left who knows it dies in his arms, so no help there.
• Paint It Black: Initially, his morphinaut outfit was white and gold. Temporary possession by Dark Spectre turns it into the distinctive black and silver outfit from the show.
• Power Crystal: The ruby on his chest unit, which was made from fragments of the Legendary Team's morphers by Ori, as a reminder.
• Rip Van Winkle: From his point of view, he was stuck in the Morphing Grid for fifty years. Outside, it was several hundred.
• Time Abyss: Not remotely the oldest Ranger around (give some of the Dino Charge and Dino Fury Rangers are upward of sixty-five million years old), but he's quite long-lived, having been around when Rita was a kid.
• Was Once a Man: Universe confirms he was a person once, but his experiment with the Morphing Grid got him stuck in there, and exposure to so much morphing energy at once has shredded his physical form. His suit is the only thing keeping him alive.

Legendary Team

Rhian (Red), Ori (Blue), Phiro (Yellow), Xev (Black), Telosi (Green), Aleia (Pink)

• Ambiguously Gay: Ori and Aleia have a very close relationship, complete with lots of hand-holding, but Universe never makes it explicit whether they actually are / were in a relationship.
• Ascended Extra: Similar to the SuperSonic team, they go from an unexplained team in Megaforce to being the main stars of Power Rangers Universe.
• The Big Guy: Phiro's much bigger and muscle-ier than the others. Accordingly, even when morphed he's bulked up.
• Canon Character All Along: They end up becoming the Emissaries that first appeared during Shattered Grid.
• Canon Foreigner: The Dairanger team didn't have a black ranger, just a green one.
• Deadly Upgrade: As Ori learns, by accessing the Morphing Grid directly, they're killing themselves. By the time Ori figures this out, they determine they have about two or three morphs more at most before they die, unless Ori fixes the problem. Which they do.
• Demonic Possession: Xev was captured by Dark Spectre's forces and turned into one of his minions. Even after the others free him, some connection remains.

• Heroic Sacrifice: They supercharge their morphers to saturate Earth with morphing energy, forever preventing Dark Spectre from taking it, but at the cost of their physical forms.
• Human Aliens: As is pretty customary with Power Rangers, they all look human, barring the occasional funky hair and eye color. Though given their homeworld turns out to be Earth, they might be humans proper. The fact humans in Power Rangers can be found on other planets makes it vague.
• I Choose to Stay: Telosi and Xev stay behind in the physical realm to keep watch for Dark Spectre.
• Insufferable Genius: Ori likes being right a little too much. In fairness, they're an insecure teenager.
• Instant Expert: After morphing, they find themselves instantly knowing sweet martial arts moves and the names of their weapons. Once they've powered down and have time to take stock, Rhian acknowledges how weird this is.
• It's All My Fault: Ori blames themself for the situation she and her friends get into with the Morphinaut.
• Known Only by Their Nickname: Ori's full name is Orisonth, but their friends just call them "Ori".
• Power Incontinence: Tapping directly into the Morphin' Grid without a morpher to regulate the energy flow means they initially cycle between different Ranger powers from across history, with no control. Sometimes, the powers will suddenly glitch out on them. Painfully.
• Sibling Team: Telosi and Xev are brothers.
• The Smart Guy: Ori is the brains of the team, and the one who figures out how to solve their morphing problem.

Original Omega Rangers

Bledso (Fire), The Puram (Earth), Apophee (Air), Haza (Water)

• Anti-Hero: Apophee is gruff and surly even at his best.
• Came Back Wrong: Haza is briefly revived by Spa'ark as an undead under their control. However, enough of Haza's personality remains for her to fight back and stop them.
• My Greatest Failure: The whole team was so busy focusing on their own reactions to Haza's death they failed to account for Spa'ark's, and by the time they noticed it was far too late. Though they tried to redeem their friend, nothing worked, and ultimately they were forced to seal Spa'ark's morpher away in the vaults of Safehaven, and while they eventually found another Water Ranger, they never tried a new Sun Ranger.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Spa'ark was already sliding into grief-induced madness, but Apophee's confrontation with them kicked this into overdrive.
• Nightmare Fetishist: The Puram finds one of the monsters the team fights fascinating, if only from a scientific viewpoint.
• Precursor Heroes: The original team of Omega Rangers, thousands of years before the modern day.
• The Smart Guy: The Puram, much like how her successor Trini would be, is the brains of the outfit.
• Super-Senses: Haza's words suggest she has spectacularly sharp hearing, able to hear things from miles away.
• Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Her brief page time shows Haza to be nothing but gentle, sweet and supportive. So naturally she's run through by a monster to provoke her teammate's Start of Darkness. Even after being brought back as an undead by them, she still holds no malice toward them.
