Power Rangers - Saban Era
The Power Rangers are a group of superheroes who gain their powers from the Morphing Grid, the energy field that connects all life forms across the multiverse. Using this energy they gain colorful armor, enhanced physical abilities, weapons and access to giant robots called Zords. The Rangers are not strangers to travelling to different universes, and have tried to coordinate with each other on this new Earth.
Mighty Morphing: As the original group of rangers, they also have the most variations running around Angel Grove California, from
Robot Chicken parodies to
talking cats, to varying degrees of effectiveness. Thankfully an older live action
Jason Lee Scott has experience working with different rangers, and is trying to coordinate them all into an effective fighting force against alien groups such as the Land Sharks in LA, even as the rest of his team is missing. The two most effective groups currently are the 2017 movie versions (even as they still try to learn their powers) and the Boom Comics version who struggle with being obviously ink based in a 3D world. The most alarming fact is that there is no sign of any Tommy Oliver variant aka the Green and White Ranger.
Zeo: Rocky, Cat, Adam and Tanya are struggling to fight without their leader Tommy Oliver, as without Zeo Zord V or the Red Battlezord they can't form any of their Megazords. Their enemies, the Machine Empire, has been trying to make alliances with other evil robotic groups, such as the Phalanx and the Decepticons, but their smug superiority has gotten in the way so far. However, there have been potential connections with the AI known as Vengix (see Beast Morphers).
Turbo: Justin Stewart is very much a kid out of time, as the only Turbo ranger on Earth and the youngest Ranger, he feels a bit left out. He's working with other young superheroes, such as the Beetleborgs and Ben 10, as well as his sentient vehicles the Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster (who have in turn become friends with other sentient rides like Herbie and Knight Rider). Divatox the Space Pirate has been struggling in a much busier sea to be a threat, but she's also started to make friends with villainous sea groups such as Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean) and the more nefarious One Piece Pirates. The greater threat is the Robo Rangers, robots designed to copy the Turbo Rangers' powers, who have been infected by the villainous AI Venjix (See Beast Morphers).
In Space: The Rangers have taken their Astro Megaship and headed to outer space to look for Karone and the other Lost Galaxy rangers, trying to see if they came to this reality as well. If they did, that means there is a whole universe of fictional beings to deal with, with the greater threat being the potential return of the Grand Monarch of Evil
Dark Spectre, who could be forming a new United Alliance of Evil in space right now!
Unfortunately not all rangers who've come have been positive.
The Live action Psycho Rangers are back and see this world as a buffet, using their ability to shapeshift to hunt down the various Power Rangers, taking their forms and abilities to not only destroy them, but also discredit the Rangers to the world. Meanwhile, the
2019 comic Psycho Rangers are still on their path of redemption in space, but it's unclear if it will stick this time.
Lost Galaxy: The existence of Lost Galaxy and the colony vessel Terra Firma in this new universe would be a game changer. It would mean that other human communities might exist in space, such as
Lost in Space's Alpha Centauri or the various human colonies under rule of the
The Goa'uld from Stargate.
Lightspeed Rescue: Based in Mariner Bay, California, Lightspeed has rejoined the US government military structure and has been invaluable in offering expertise in how to combat demonic forces with technology. Rumors abound that they want to recruit Doom Guy as an honorary Seventh Ranger.
Time Force: Based in Silver Hills California, the only rangers present in this timeline are Wes and Eric, much to the alarm of Wes who worries his beloved team mates might have been erased from the timeline since the move. The Silver Guardians, a private police force trained to fight monsters, has proven incredibly popular in this new world, with funding coming from various sources to deal with threats from Cryptids to KPA insurgents.
Wild Force: Based in Turtle Cove, the Wild Force rangers have been doing their best to fight the forces of pollution that empower their enemies
The Orgs. This has led them to work with environmental heroes such as Captain Planet, and on occasion Poison Ivy (although they agree she goes too far with the murder).
OOC: And that's all the rangers of the Saban Era! I'll be working on the rest of them in different posts, Disney Era and Neo Saban Era, up until Beast Morphers (the last series of 2020, the timeline of the game). As for what's the deal with Vengix, and where the heck are the Tommy Olivers, well you'll just have to wait till next time!
