Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

## Original Powers

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, usually known as just the Power Rangers are "teenagers with attitude" that Zordon of Eltar recruited to battle Rita Repulsa using the power that they wield with their Power Morphers and Power Coins. They developed a strong sense of unity, but whenever one had to move on with his or her life, Zordon appointed new ones to take over.

When Rita Repulsa and her minions were freed from their imprisonment on the moon, Zordon took action to prevent her from taking over the Earth unchallenged. Instructing Alpha 5 to recruit "five teenagers with attitude," he chose Jason, Billy, Trini, Kimberly, and Zack to receive the five Power Coins in his possession and become Power Rangers. These five rangers thwarted many of Rita's plots, but nearly met defeat when Rita used a sixth Power Coin to transform Tommy into her own evil Green Ranger. Tommy succeeded in cutting off communications with Zordon and trapping the Rangers' Zords before unleashing his own Dragonzord. However, Alpha was able to restore the Command Center's link with Zordon, who helped bring the Zords back, allowing the Rangers to defeat Dragonzord. Once Jason destroyed Tommy's Sword of Darkness, Tommy was freed from Rita's control, and immediately became a new member of the team.

Rita soon set out to take revenge on her former minion, using the Green Candle in an attempt to drain away Tommy's powers. The Rangers managed to stop her by having Tommy give his Power Coin to Jason, preventing Rita from draining way his powers. However, Tommy later reassumed the green powers after Rita managed to steal the other five Power Coins. As a result, his powers remained weak for some time, which would make him a target when Lord Zedd usurped control of Rita's forces. Eventually Tommy lost the Green Ranger powers, while the other Rangers upgraded their Dinozords into the Thunderzords. The continual threat of Lord Zedd, however, prompted Zordon and Alpha to create a new set of White Ranger powers, which were conferred upon Tommy due to his faithfulness in serving as the Green Ranger. He also became leader of the team, replacing Jason, who along with Zack and Trini later passed their powers on to new Rangers. This process would be accomplished using the Sword of Light, thus conferring Red, Black, and Yellow Ranger powers upon Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park, and Aisha Campbell. The Green Power Coin was also later re-energized by the Wizard of Deception and past onto a cloned creation of Tommy. Once the spell had been broken the clone decided to remain in the past and passed the coin back to the Oliver Family's Decendents.

Eventually, all six Rangers would lose their powers after Rito Revolto arrived and helped Zedd and Rita-the pair having married some time previously-destroy the Thunderzords. As such, they were forced to seek out Ninjor, the creator of the Power Coins, in the Desert of Despair. Eventually, they convinced Ninjor of their sincerity, and he granted them new Ninja powers to replace their old ones. The Rangers were thus able to continue their battles against Rita and Zedd's forces for some time.

## Forever Return

Jason later took up his Red Ranger mantle again as part of a team of Veteran Red Rangers formed in "Forever Red." This group consisting of Jason, Tommy, and every Red Ranger up to Cole Evans-minus Rocky, whose Red Ranger powers had been returned to Jason by unknown means-challenged the Machine Empire remnants under General Venjix. The group succeeded in defeating the general's forces, and Cole later destroyed Serpentera after Venjix succeeded in launching it.

## Operation Overdrive Return

Adam would lead a team of Retro Rangers-the other members being Bridge Carson, Xander Bly, Kira Ford, and Tori Hanson-who filled in for the Overdrive Rangers after Thrax, son of Rita and Zedd, sabotaged the Morphing Grid. On this occasion, Adam's powers-as well as those of Kira and Tori-were restored to him temporarily by the Sentinel Knight, who also summoned the five of them to help.

## Super Mega Return

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers returned as part of the army of Legendary Rangers that helped the Megaforce Power Rangers defeat the Warstar Armada once and for all, fighting in a huge battle against hundreds of X Borgs and dozens of Bruisers

## Super Ninja Return

In Dimensions in Danger, Tommy returns to his home in Reefside, just as he was ready to take his son to school, Lord Draven shows up and kidnaps him. It turns out to be a plot by the villain to capture Power Rangers from various dimensions in order to create a robot army that he could use to conquer all the dimensions. Tommy manages to free himself and saves Wes, Gemma, Koda, and the Ninja Steel Power Rangers from a force of Basherbots. The group of Rangers split up and storm Draven's fortress, managing to free the other captured rangers including Rocky and Kat. Tommy enters into a battle with an evil robot clone of himself where he proceeds to use the Master Morpher and morphs into al his previous Ranger powers including the powers of the White Ranger, and Green Ranger to destroy the clone. Once reuniting with the other Rangers, Rocky and Tommy morph into their original Mighty Morphin powers, excluding Kat who instead of morphing into Mighty Morphin Pink, morphs into the Pink Turbo Ranger.

## Beast Morphers Return

When the Dino Charge Power Rangers, Ravi, Zoey, Nate and Steel were defeated by Evox's army of villains on the Dino Charge's world, Devon was left trying to find a way to call for help. With an aid of a meteor than crashed into him and Cruise, he entered a Morph-X Tower and used the Morphin Grid to call for help. The meteor became the Tyrannosaurus Power Coin and brought in Jason. Learning of the situation and that one of the monsters was Goldar Maximus, he agreed to aid his junior in the fight. The two met up with the fallen Rangers and after re-empowering them, Jason recruited the Dino Charge team to lead a frontal assault while the Beast Morphers team attacked from behind. When Goldar Maximus and the rest of Evox's army arrived, Jason summoned the other four Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Dino Thunder Power Rangers to defeat the army.

The veteran team fight against an army alongside the other Legedary Dino Teams and combining forces, they destroyed Goldar Maximus, their upgraded old rival, once and for all. But when Evox summoned his massive Chimerazord, somehow the Rangers were able to summon the Megazord to aid in its defeat. With Evox on the run again, the teams departed, with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers returning to their respective lives.

## Power Coins

The Power Coins are supernatural golden coins created by the sage Ninjor which were used as the power source of the Original, Ninja and Alien Rangers. When Zordon and Alpha 5 created the White Tiger Power Coin, it took a great deal of planning, power and delicate precision in order to accomplish the task. In 2020 it was revealed that the Morphing Grid is capable of re-creating the Power Coins, however it requires a power source such as Morph-X. Where as Ninjor can create them at will while connecting them to the Morphin Grid with very little effort.

The original Power Coins drew their power from dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals and had an animal engraved on each one: Black Mastodon, Pink Pterodactyl, Blue Triceratops, Yellow Saber-Toothed Tiger, and Red Tyrannosaurus. The sixth Coin was based off a Green Dragon, but instead had a symbol resembling a three-toed dragon's footprint. Zordon gained possession of the first five coins after he and Alpha 4 found a map that lead them to the location of the Coins in the Desert of Despair. Unfortunately, Rita Repulsa somehow gained the sixth Coin on her own while battling the Desert's guardian, Rooten-Toomen, with the help of one of her warriors, Knasty Knight.

The Rangers could remove their Coins and transform them into Power Crystals. The holder places his/her thumb and index fingers on the edge of the Coin, heads facing out. The individual then elongates the crystal down to a point. The Rangers usually shout "Two-One-Power Up," and insert it into a slot on the helm of his/her Zord in order to control the war machines. Following the destruction of the original Dinozords, the power crystals were never used again.

The Coins can also emit powerful energy charges which have been used to re-energize Zordon.

When Tommy Oliver's Green Ranger powers were permanently drained by Lord Zedd's Green Crystal and Turbanshell monster, Zordon and Alpha secretly created the White Ranger, using the White Tiger Coin as their power source. The coin itself was created within the Power Chamber beneath the Command Center, which at the time was unknown to the Rangers. Zordon created this Coin using the Light of Goodness. It appears that creating even one Power Coin is extremely dangerous as it took weeks of planning and design as well as shutting down the entire Command Center in order for the White Tiger Coin to be created.

Later in the Power Rangers' battles, Rito Revolto, the brother of Rita, appeared in the Moon Palace. Leading a new army of monsters, he successfully overloaded the Thunderzords' power storage, shorting out several Command Center functions, destroying the Zords themselves and damaging the Rangers' Power Coins and their connections to the Morphing Grid. The damage caused all the Rangers' Power Coins and Morphers to crack physically and destroyed their connection to the Morphing Grid.

Three years later in 1998, Adam Park returned, attempting to help his successor, Carlos Vallerte, overcome a confidence issue after a botched mission. When Carlos decided to hang up his Morpher, Adam pulled his own damaged Morpher out. Despite Alpha 6's attempts to stop him, he successfully morphed into the Black Mastodon Ranger once more. However, due to the damage the coin sustained during the fight with Rito, the unstable connection to the Morphing Grid caused Adam to phase in and out of his morphed state, causing him excruciating pain, and nearly killing him.

Four years later in 2002, Jason somehow regained his Power Morpher and Tyrannosaurus Power Coin and was able to repair it. He participated in an all-Red Ranger mission against the remnants of the Machine Empire during the events of Power Rangers Wild Force. It was never explained how Jason was able to repair his damaged Power Coin and Morpher. Following this, five years more later in 2007 when Thrax appeared during the events of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, Adam's Morpher and Mastodon Coin were properly restored by the Sentinel Knight.

All the Coins would again be utilized during the finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce where the original six Mighty Morphin Rangers took part in the final battle against the Armada. It is not explained how the pink, blue, and yellow Coins are restored. It was revealed in Dimensions in Danger that Tommy has access to the Master Morpher which allows him to morph in any previous Ranger powers he had. Rocky also partispated in the battle as the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, but it is currently unknown if his Tyrannosaurus Power Coin or Red Ape Ninja Coin was also restored before the battle with Lord Draven.

In 2020 the Morphin Grid transformed an extremely powerful meteor into the original Tyrannosaurus Power Coin, and summoned its original wielder Jason Lee Scott. Jason then used the coin to morph into the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger to battle Goldar Maximus, but he also used it beforehand to summon the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as well as the Dino Thunder Power Rangers.

## Power Weapons

* Power Sword - This is the individual weapon of the Red Ranger and his successor. When used as part of the Power Blaster, it is placed on top of it, the blade pointing towards the barrel. Zordon stated that it is the key to all the weapons' powers. It is also the only weapon that does not have a second function. It can use a devastating slash of energy when the Red Ranger runs two of his fingers on his Sword and send it at his opponent. The sword was also wielded by Tommy during the "Thunder Slinger" mission. Jason does not give his weapon an alternate name as the others do in the epiosde Different Drum.

* Power Axe - This is the personal weapon of the Black Ranger and his successor. It is a black, single-blade axe to be used for blunt damage. The base of the axe can be slid downward towards the base, converting into a cannon-like weapon that forms the main portion of the Power Blaster. Zack can also use it as a cannon on its own.  TV STORY-Itsy Bitsy Spider Zack once called his weapon the Cosmic Cannon in Different Drum. It is later used by Adam Park in Once a Ranger and Jake Holling in Samurai Surprise.

* Power Lance - This is the personal weapon of the Blue Ranger. A double-bladed lance that is close in height to the Blue Ranger itself, it can split into a pair of trident-like sai blades, the size of escrima sticks. When used as a part of the Power Blaster, it forms two of the five laser barrels. It can also generate electricity. Billy once called his weapon the Mighty Mace in Different Drum.

* Power Daggers - This is the personal weapon of the Yellow Ranger and her successor. A twin pair of yellow short-bladed daggers, they are effective as both melee weapons and projectile weapons. When used as part of the Power Blaster, it forms two of the five laser barrels. The daggers can also generate an energy double slash. Trini once called her weapons the Dino Daggers in Different Drum.

* Power Bow - This is the personal weapon of the Pink Ranger though her successor was never shown using it. It fires projectile pink arrows at enemies, something Kimberly often did from midair. The arrows themselves appeared to be explosive on impact, shown when Kimberly fought Spit Flower. TV STORY-The Spit Flower When used as part of the power blaster, it crosses over the top of the Power Axe, forming a bar that holds the Power Daggers and Power Lance. It can be used as a melee weapon in the video game adaptation, similar to the Ptera Arrow weapon on which it is based, although Kimberly used her bow in this way as well on occasion. It can transform into a harp as well. Kimberly once called her weapon the Battle Bow in Different Drum.

* + Power Blaster - A powerful assemblage of all 5 of the core Rangers' Weapons: Red Power Sword, Black Power Axe, Blue Power Lance, Yellow Power Daggers, and Pink Power Bow. Used as a finisher on small monsters. Sometimes it wouldn't manage to destroy them before Rita or Zedd could make the monster grow. It resembles a crossbow, and its two central pieces were the Power Bow and the Power Axe. The Power Blaster was formed by placing the Power Bow horizontally within the locking mechanism of the Power Axe in Cannon Mode, with the Power Dagger's and separated Power Lance Mace's connected to the length of the Bow, with their handles facing forward, acting as additional barrels to the cannon. The Power Sword, the key to the Blaster, was locked in on top of the cannon, similar to where an arrow would be placed in a crossbow. The Power Blaster was used by the first team of Rangers extensively and only once by the second team before switching to the Power Cannon.

* Draggon Dagger - The Dragon Dagger is the personal weapon of the Green Ranger. It is used to summon and control the Dragonzord by playing it like a flute; anyone who has the Dragon Dagger can summon Dragonzord from the Ocean, such as Goldar. It could project green concussive blasts of energy, and would often be coupled with the Red Ranger's Power Sword for even stronger blasts. Due to this complementary temperament, when Jason was given the remnants of Tommy's Green Ranger Powers he used the Dragon Dagger extensively, until the latter returned. Jason was the only other Power Ranger trusted with the Dragon Dagger. It would later be utilized by Tom Oliver, Tommy's Green Ranger clone, as well as by a dream version of the Green Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder. The Dagger was eventually put into storage in the Command Center along with The Dragon Power until it was stolen by Billy while under the control of Rita and given to Goldar. After Tommy's powers were restored by Zordon he later reclaimed the dagger and kept it as his primary weapon until his powers were fully drained by Lord Zedd and coin and dagger disintegrated. After the Dragon Power coin and powers were recreated by the Wizard the Dagger was recreated as well and used as Tom Oliver's primary weapon to face Tommy. After Tom Oliver was defeated he kept the Dragon Power Coin and the Dagger still existed. After Tommy's powers were restored to battle the Armada he once again had possession of the Dagger.

* Saba - Saba is constructed by Alpha and Zordon after Tommy’s previous personal weapon, the Dragon Dagger was vaporized with the Mighty Morphin Green Power Ranger powers. He is introduced to Tommy after his immunity to objects like the Green Candle due to him being made from the "powers of light" and Saba accompanies him to battle Nimrod the Scarlet Sentinel. They were forced to fight Nimrod alone as the other Thunderzords are still being repaired by Billy and Trini and the others are fighting the Putty Patrol who are trying to access Rita Repulsa's dumpster. After prompting from Saba, Tommy immediately summons the new White Tigerzord with the help of Saba although it initially lacks proper control due to Saba’s inexperience. After some bickering, they get their acts together and mount the Zord so Nimrod blasts it with her energy balls but the new Zord and it’s pilots are unfazed. The White Tigerzord overwhelms Nimrod with a roar before Tommy and Saba enter the cockpit and change it into Warrior Mode. Using it, they easily overwhelm Nimrod with three slashes and then sent her flying with a kick to the middle after Tommy orders Saba to make the Zord duplicate his moves. However, Nimrod summons AC and DC who overwhelm the Zord and eject both Tommy and Saba with the latter having to call Jason for back-up. Saba does so although not without some difficulty which allows the Red Dragon Thunderzord to team-up with Tommy and his partner and they form the Mega Tigerzord to finish the trio off. During Power Rangers Zeo, an inanimate recreation of Saba was on display in the White Ranger's display case at the back of the Power Chamber. By Power Rangers Turbo, the display cases were empty with the suits and Saba gone. Although presumed destroyed when Divatox destroyed the Power Chamber, this turned out to be false. Eight years after Zeo, in Fighting Spirit, Saba was seen once again when Tommy fought three visions of his past Ranger forms, Saba was seen wielded by the White Ranger once again.,Several years later following the creation of the Master Morpher and recreation of White Tiger Power Coin, Saba was also recreated and returned to being the primary weapon for the White Ranger, with his personality intact.mNine years after that, Saba assisted Tommy in rescuing a child from a car that was about to fall off a bridge. Five years after that, Tommy used his Master Morpher to transform into the White Ranger and Saba appeared again, being used to battle Tommy's Robo Ranger clone.
