- āZordon when founding the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.[src]
The Mighty Morphin 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.

History[]
Power Rangers Mighty Morphin[]
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. Later, the Rangers finally manage to seal Rita and her minions in a seal. They decided to remain Rangers even after Rita's defeat.
Following Rita's defeat at the hands of the Rangers, Jason, Zack, and Trini went to the Peace Conference but never left the team. Tommy was also able to regain his Green Ranger powers thanks to his own energy.
Following their final battle with Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd on the Moon, the team disbanded and swore to never morph again. Twenty-two years later, the long-disbanded team reunites to help save one of their own as well as fighting Rita, who has returned as Robo-Rita.
It was later revealed that the last mission of the Power Rangers 22 years ago was to put an end to the Evil Space Aliens by pacifying them with a device called the Benevolator, which went horribly wrong.
Zack, Billy, and Trini led by Jason tried to hold the line in a diversionary assault until the device was set up by Kimberly and Tommy inside the Moon Palace, which resulted in the complete destruction of their DinoZords when faced off against a giant monster army, forcing the four to abandon them and teleport away with just seconds to spare before the device went off.
The device presumably ended up costing the life of Tommy Oliver, who was finally able to survive, who was forced to stay behind and quickly detonate it via a failsafe trigger after the Benevolatorās casing was damaged in his struggle against Rita Repulsa when he planted it in her bedroom. He urged Kimberly to leave him behind as she was in early pregnancy for the sake of her unborn baby just minutes beforehand and gave her one final hug before pushing the trigger after she teleported back to Earth.
Upon going off, the released Grid Energy from the Benevolator was proportionately equal to all the monsters on the moon and the dark energy inside them, which seemingly killed all the villains on it in a malfunction that turned the device from a purification wave into something more akin to a nuclear bomb. This also destroyed a portion of the Earthās Moon from the explosion, leaving large broken fragments floating around it in orbit and a huge hole that was visible from Earth.
Forever Red[]
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, 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.
Legacy of Power[]
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were featured in a chronicle of Power Ranger history compiled by Tommy Oliver shortly after he formed the Dino Rangers, which was found by the nascent Ranger team in the Dino Lab.
Bully for Ethan[]
The old MMPR Team appeared in the photo that Dr. Tommy Oliver had with him as a memento of the past during the time when he returned as the Green Ranger again. Kira found the image in this episode while helping Tommy.
Once A Ranger[]
Zack 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 Morphin 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.
Megaforce[]

Ninja Steel[]
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 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 Jason. 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 Green Ranger to destroy the clone. Once reuniting with the other Rangers, Jason and Tommy morph into their original Mighty Morphin powers. Draven manages to fire off the last Mega Arrow to destroy the dimensional barriers when Xev arrives and summons the Falconzord to fly up and catch the arrow, sending it straight back at Draven while the other Rangers fire at him with their weapons. This finally destroys Lord Draven. Tommy, Jason and the other veteran Rangers are seen passing the torch to the Ninja Steel Rangers, then returning both Koda and Gemma to their respective dimensions first before returning to the main dimension. While they were returning home, Tommy and Kat, the Zeo Ranger I Pink, were holding hands, hinting that they are still a couple and J.J.Ā“s parents.
Beast Morphers[]
When the Dino Charge 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-
The other four Mighty Morphin Power Rangers come to help.
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 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 Chimera Zord, 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.

Notes[]
- This Mighty Morphin Rangers team has several differences from the canon version:
- Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Trini and Tommy were never replaced by Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park, Katherine Hillard, Aisha Campbell and Tom Oliver respectively.
- However, following the death of her mother, Minh took on her role and became the new Yellow Ranger. Olivia also also took over the role of Green Ranger from Tommy.
- Zordon never tried to replace them and the Rangers never left office for anything.
- This team has never fought Master Vile and/or Rito Revolto.
- Tommy never obtained the White Ranger powers of Xev.
- Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Trini and Tommy were never replaced by Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park, Katherine Hillard, Aisha Campbell and Tom Oliver respectively.
- These were the first named Rangers and as such are known typically by their color designation only. The Rangers that followed had monikers associated to their team's name or the name of the show.
- According to the "Reality Check" PSA of Power Rangers Mighty Morphin, Amy Jo Johnson, David Yost, and both their respective characters are accomplished martial artists and gymnasts.
- Six video games based on this team were produced, one for Sega Genesis, one for Sega CD, one for Sega Game Gear, two for Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Fighting Edition), and one for Game Boy.
- While the Rangers are composed of two females, with the rest being male, the original Japanese show and succeeding iterations saw all seven suits be worn by male characters, as the Yellow Ranger was a male character in the original series and the Pink Ranger's powerset was used by a male character in the meta-series' anniversary.
