History CompositeCharacter / PowerRangers

*** Master Org also supplants Shuten and Ura during their tenures as BigBad, while claiming their [[AllYourPowersCombined combined]] [[OneWingedAngel form]] with Rasetsu, Senki, as his own. His costume is also taken from [[Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger Dairanger's]] Gorma XV.

*** Mora/Morgana owes as much to ''Abaranger'''s Rije/Rijewel as she does to Succubus, the villainness her sentai footage comes from.

*** RPM also has Summer whose Ranger designation is of Saki, but her rich upbringing is shared with Go-onger's Go-on Wings.

** Because Jason, Zack, Trini, Billy, and Kimberly in the original ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' didn't have much outside of their base stereotypes, this would eventually come into play as adding additional backstory would make them more akin to their successors. Many people have noted the set-up with them as a RagtagBunchOfMisfits evokes SixthRanger Tommy's later team in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''. Additionally, with the casting on an Ludi Lin as Zack and RJ Cyler as Billy, Zack is Asian American as his immediate successor Adam Park and Billy's black like Ethan James of the aforementioned Dino Thunder team. Also, Billy being black and the Blue Ranger, like Noah in ''Megaforce''. [[spoiler:Additionally, Kimberly has a similar backstory to ''Series/PowerRangersRPM''[='=]s Summer Landsdown in being an AlphaBitch before having a HeelRealization and resolving to be better.]]
** Rita's origins are now tied to the Rangers and seems to have been this universe's version of the Green Ranger.

** At the MonsterOfTheWeek level, there's Toxipod. In Hurri, when Kirikirimaishi was defeated by the Rangers, the next monster was his father Girigirigaishi, come to avenge him. In PRNS, Toxipod returned as ''Super'' Toxipod. However, the writers seemed to forget that, as two later multi-monster episodes had Toxipod and Super Toxipod onscreen at once, and ''neither'' occasion was Hurricanger footage.

** Yet, they reverse it on one occasion: The two appearances of Goseiger MonsterOfTheWeek Waraikozou the Gremlin become a pair of identical cousins in Megaforce. (Interestingly, in sentai, identical monsters who go on to say "that wasn't me you fought ten episodes ago, that was my relative" are a common gag, usually turned into the same monster in Power Rangers. The ''reverse'' has never been done before or since!)

** Tyler's dad, James Navarro, is the Aqua Ranger. His Ranger designation comes from Ramirez, while him being the Red Ranger's father comes from Dantetsu Kiryu[[note]]who becomes the second Kyoryu Silver[[/note]]. And while Ramirez passes his powers to a successor, [[DistaffCounterpart Yuko Fukui]], in the finale, James remains the only Aqua Ranger.

** One MonsterOfTheWeek, Mutantrum, is used to trick [[TheHero Leo]] into releasing [[AppliedPhlebotinum The Lights of Orion]] by disguising himself as Leo's brother Mike. This plot was carried over from Gingaman but did not involve Mutantrum's counterpart, Kemuemon; it was a separate monster, Gurinji (who appeared later in the season as Spikaka).

** Tyler's dad, James Navarro, is the Aqua Ranger. His Ranger designation comes from Ramirez, while him being the Red Ranger's father comes from Dantetsu Kiryu[[note]]who becomes the second Kyoryu Silver[[/note]]. He's also the only Aqua Ranger whereas Ramirez passed his powers to a successor, Yuko Fukui.
** The other [[GuestStarPartyMember auxiliary Rangers]], Torin (Kyoryu Silver) and Tessai (Kyoryu Gray), also pass their powers to successors, Dantetsu Kiryu and Shinya Tsukouchi, respectively. Xenowing and Prince Phillip, meanwhile, remain the Silver and Graphite Rangers throughout the series.

** Ninjor is introduced as the creator of the Power Coins. His Sentai counterpart, [[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Ninjaman]], had nothing to do with the creation of the Zyuranger or Kakuranger power-sets or zords, which were created by different groups.

** The two other GuestStarPartyMembers, Torin (Kyoryu Silver) and Tessai (Kyoryu Gray), also pass their powers to successors, Dantetsu Kiryu and Shinya Tsukouchi, respectively. Xenowing and Prince Phillip, meanwhile, remain the Silver and Graphite Rangers throughout the series.

** Deker in ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' is directly based on Fuwa Juzo, with his backstory [[spoiler:as Dayu's lost love, and the indirect catalyst for her becoming a Nighlok]] being based on Shinza.

** Tyler's dad, James Navarro, is the Aqua Ranger. His Ranger designation comes from Ramirez, while him being the Red Ranger's father comes from Dantetsu Kiryu[[note]]who becomes the second Kyoryu Silver[[/note]].

** Lord Zedd stands in for Zyuranger's Dai Satan as Bandora/Rita's master and Dairanger's Gorma XV [[note]]and by extension, Col. Shadam.[[/note]] as the leader of season 2's monsters. Dai Satan, meanwhile, was [[DemotedToExtra adapted as Lokar, one of Rita's minions]].

*** Tyzonn, the Mercury Ranger, mixes in [[Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger Bouken]] [[SixthRanger Silver]] (ItsPersonal against the Ashu/Fear Cats), one-shot guest star Ragi (human transformed into [[LegoGenetics dragonman]]), and Bouken Red (backstory with deaths of former team).
*** Kamdor directly parallels Yami no Yaiba, and Maboroshi no Gekkou (the latter being the BigBad of the third faction and the monster maker and [[MakeMyMonsterGrow enlarger]]). Also, Miratrix mostly has Shizuka's role, but her monster form is Gekkou's. Shizuka's monster form becomes a one-off monster earlier in the series.
*** The Sentinel Knight is a counterpart to one of the [[MacGuffin Precious]], but has the traits of [[OriginalGeneration Aka Red]], since they're both borderline-{{Physical God}}s who are important players in the MilestoneCelebration crossover.
*** Andrew Hartford is based off of Mister Voice (TheMentor), Morio Makino (creator of the Rangers' tech) and Kouichi Akashi (The Red Ranger's AdventureArchaeologist father).

** One season 2 MonsterOfTheWeek, Four Head, is a singular being in contrast to its sentai counterpart, Gattai Shitennõ, a being created from the fusion of the [[EliteFour four]] [[FourIsDeath Gorma Shitennõ]].
** Ninjor is introduced as the creator of the Power Coins. His Sentai counterpart, [[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Ninjaman]], had nothing to do with the creation of the Zyuranger or Kakuranger power-sets or zords.

** Astronema melds together two villains from ''[[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Megaranger]]'': Dr. Hinelar (TheDragon and TheStarscream, creator of ThePsychoRangers plot) and Shibolena (cyborg DarkMagicalGirl, surrogate daughter of a villain). Her brother, Andros, melds Mega Red together with Dr. Kubota (gave the other four Rangers their powers, had prior history with DragonInChief). Likewise, Ecliptor himself also melds Hinelar's fathery affection toward Shibolena with Yugande.

** Lord Zedd stands in for Zyuranger's Dai Satan as Bandora/Rita's master and Dairanger's Gorma XV and Col. Shadam as the leader of season 2's monsters. Dai Satan, meanwhile, was [[DemotedToExtra adapted as Lokar, one of Rita's minions]].

** Ninjor, while based on [[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Kakuranger's]] Ninjaman, [[ArcWelding relates]] Zyuranger and Kakuranger's powersets as the creator of the Power Coins.

* Technically, the Rangers with more than one Ranger identity (I.E., [[GotTheCallOnSpeedDial Tommy]] and the ([[MidSeasonUpgrade Super]]) [[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Megaforce Rangers]] ) fall under this trope. Some season-unique examples:

** Ninjor, while based on Kakuranger's Ninjaman, [[ArcWelding relates]] Zyuranger and Kakuranger's powersets as the creator of the Power Coins.

** [[BigGood Mystic Mother]] is a composite of [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Magiel]] and [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Bandora]] (aka Rita Repulsa), as she is implied to be a reformed Rita. Both of these characters were played in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' by the late Machiko Soga, with the two being unrelated in their respective shows.

** Astronema melds together two villains from ''[[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Megaranger]]'': Dr. Hinelar (TheDragon and TheStarscream, creator of ThePsychoRangers plot) and Shibolena (cyborg DarkMagicalGirl, surrogate daughter of a villain).

Likewise, Ecliptor himself also melds Hinelar's fathery affection toward Shibolena with Yugande.

*** Tyler's Dad, James Navarro, is the Aqua Ranger. His Ranger designation comes from Ramirez, while him being the Red Ranger's father comes from Dantetsu Kiryu [[note]]who becomes the second Kyoryu Silver[[/note]].

** The two [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Dora Cockatrice]] monsters were combined into the singular [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Chunky Chicken]]. The first one wore a red cap whereas the other one did not; [[StockFootageFailure this did not go unnoticed.]]
** Divatox in ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'' melded Gynamo's position as the BigBad with Zonnette's design and backstory about [[spoiler:her being Dimitria's older sister.]]
** [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Astronema]] melds together two villains from ''[[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Megaranger]]'': Dr. Hinelar (TheDragon and TheStarscream, creator of ThePsychoRangers plot) and Shibolena (cyborg DarkMagicalGirl, surrogate daughter of a villain). Her brother, Andros, melds Mega Red together with Dr. Kubota (TheMentor, had prior history with DragonInChief). Likewise, Ecliptor himself also melds Hinelar's fathery affection toward Shibolena with Yugande.
** In [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]]: Lucas melds the ex-racer backstory of his Sentai counterpart, Ayase, with the womanizer side of Katie's [[ShesAManInJapan Sentai counterpart]], Domon.
** [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Princess Shayla]] is a composite of [[Series/HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger Gaoranger's]] Priestess Tetomu (TheMentor of the modern Ranger team) and her grandmother, Murasaki (TheMentor of the past Ranger team, had a history with the SixthRanger).

** [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Cam, the Green Samurai Ranger]], is a composite of Oboro (snarky techie offspring of the Rangers' Sensei) and Shurikenger (the SixthRanger) from ''[[Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger Hurricaneger]]''.
** The multiple users of the Cursed Armor in ''[[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Abaranger]]'' became the singular cyborg henchman Zeltrax in ''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]]''. However, the role of the second user of the cursed armor is picked up by Elsa in the last few episodes.
** [[Series/PowerRangersSPD Sam, the Omega Ranger]] is a composite of SixthRanger Deka Break and one-shot guest star Hikaru of ''[[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Dekaranger]]''. The latter grows up to be the former and arrives via TimeTravel. Bridge, meanwhile, melds Deka Green/Sen-Chan with the psychic powers of Z's Sentai Counterpart, Jasmine.

** [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Mother]] is a composite of [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Magiel]] and [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Bandora]] (aka Rita Repulsa), by virtue of being said to have once been referred to as Rita. Both of these characters were played in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' by the late Machiko Soga, with the two being unrelated in their respective shows.
** ''[[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]]'' has four in its adaptation from ''[[Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger Boukenger]]'':
*** Tyzonn, the Mercury Ranger, mixes in [[SixthRanger Bouken Silver]] (ItsPersonal against the Ashu/Fear Cats), one-shot guest star Ragi (human transformed into [[LegoGenetics dragonman]]), and Bouken Red (backstory with deaths of former team).

** RJ in ''[[Series/PowerRangersJungleFury Jungle Fury]]'' takes two roles from [[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Gekiranger]]. As the Rangers' mentor, he's part Sha-fu. As the accidental WolfMan and later Wolf Ranger, he's part Gou. Sha-fu also has Master Mao as a counterpart as well, but since he dies early on RJ takes the bulk of his role.
** Although original to ''[[Series/PowerRangersRPM RPM]]'', BigBad Venjix uses battle bodies that in ''[[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Go-onger]]'' were the characters Hiramechimedes and Yogoshimacritein.

** Heckyl & Snide from ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' is a very interesting combination. His human form (Heckyl) has no direct ''Kyoryuger'' counterpart, but he seems inspired by Enter from the previous season ''Go-Busters''. His armored monster form (Snide) uses the movie villain Neo-Geildon, who himself is an upgraded version of the Cursed Armor from ''Abaranger'', itself having a counterpart in Zeltrax from ''Power Rangers Dino Thunder''.
