Power Source Legacy

The power source for every team of Power Rangers derives from the Morphin’ Grid.

However, the method on how they connect to the Morphin’ Grid varies between each team.

In this article, we will go through each team of Power Rangers and explain how they are connected to the Morphin’ Grid.


Power Rangers


Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (Season 1 & 2)
(Dino Power Coins)
The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers derive their powers from the Power Coins, six dinosaur-themed golden coins that were created by Ninjor.

Five of these Power Coins are found by Zordon & Alpha 5, which were given to five teenagers from Angel Grove while Rita Repulsa had the Dragon Power Coin in her possession, which was given to Tommy Oliver.
The Dragon Power Coin is completely drained by Lord Zedd, destroying the powers forever and is replaced by the White Tiger Power Coin.
The Dino Power Coin are eventually all destroyed after the destruction of the Thunderzord by Rito Revolto.
Despite the destruction of the original Power Coins, they are later used by their former users.
Adam Park (Black Ranger II),Tommy Oliver (Green Ranger/White Ranger), Jason Lee Scott (Red Ranger I), Rocky DeSantos (Red Ranger II) & Billy Cranston (Blue Ranger) all use these power in future battles.

A full team of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers forms to fight a robotic version of Rita Repulsa in 2022, with all original six Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers being active until Jason Lee Scott (Red Ranger I), Kimberly Hart (Pink Ranger I) & Tommy Oliver (Green Ranger) are captured by Robo Rita while Trini Kwan (Yellow Ranger I) is killed in a fight against Robo Rita.

A new team is later formed a year later, consisting of a mix of Power Rangers from all three seasons of the MMPR Era, including original Power Rangers, Billy Cranston (Blue Ranger) & Zack Taylor (Black Ranger I).
Rocky DeSantos (Red Ranger II) & Katherine Hillard (Pink Ranger II) are given Proxy Power Coins, duplicate Dino Power Coins created by Billy Cranston & Alpha 9.
Minh Kwan (Yellow Ranger II), the daughter of Trini Kwan also takes up her mother’s legacy as the third Yellow Ranger.

The Dino Power Coins are used a century before the Original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, with their ancestors using them when Kimberly Hart time travels to the Old West.

The Dino Power Coins also exist in multiple universes, one of which is nearly identical to the Main Dimension except these suits are armor-like material rather than spandex.

Like the Main Dimension, these Power Rangers are given Ninja Coins after their Dino Power Coins are destroyed by Ivan Ooze.

A similar team of Power Rangers exists in another timeline, where their powers still derive from Dino Power Coins but the armor morphs onto the body like a second skin and requires a deep connection from the Morphin’ Grid for its user to morph into a Power Ranger.


Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Season 3)
(Ninja Power Coins)
The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers are given new Ninja Power Coins by Ninjor after traveling to the Temple Of Power after the destruction of their Dino Power Coins.

With these new Power Coins, the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers derive their powers from the art of ninja, giving them the ability to assume an alternate form to perform ninja-styled attacks.
The Ninja Power Coins suffer the same fate as the Dino Power Coins, being destroyed by Rita & Zedd after they blast them with energy, turning them to dust.


Aquitian Rangers
The Aquitian Rangers from Aquitar were given their own Power Coins by Ninjor many years ago, most evident in their ninja-style suits.
The Aquitian Rangers use these powers to defend their planet from various evil aliens like the Hydro Hog & Hydro Contaminator.
They also becomes temporary defenders of Earth after the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers are temporarily turned into children and defend Gratha when it is attacked by Divatox.
Aurico (Red Aquitian Ranger) teams up with the other Red Rangers of the time to fight the Machine Empire Generals on the Moon.


Zeo Rangers
(Zeo Crystal)
The Zeo Rangers derive their powers from the Zeo Crystal, a powerful crystal that becomes more powerful as time goes on.
The Zeo Crystal is introduced to them when the Zeo Rangers were the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, being sought out by Master Vile and is almost used by him to destroy the Earth.
The Mighty Morphin’ Power Ranger are able to obtain the Zeo Crystal for a short time and splits it into six pieces, scattering them across time to prevent them from getting into evil hands.
That is until the Ninja Power Coins are destroyed by Rita & Zedd, which motivates the former Power Rangers to find the Zeo Subcrystals across time and uses them as their power source to fight The Machine Empire and Rita & Zedd.
The fate of the Zeo Crystal remains unknown after the Zeo Rangers shift their powers to the Turbo Rangers.
However, Tommy Oliver (Red Zeo Ranger) uses these powers a few times in future battles.


Turbo Rangers
The Zeo Rangers, despite nothing happening to their powers, create new car-themed powers to fight the Space Pirate, Divatox, becoming the Turbo Rangers.
Four of the Turbo Rangers pass on their power to four new teenagers halfway through this era, leaving Justin Stewart (Blue Turbo Ranger) the only Turbo Ranger to last the entire era.
The Turbo Rangers lose their powers after the Power Chamber is destroyed by Divatox’s Forces.
The power of the Turbo Rangers are not gone for good however due to Justin Stewart (Blue Turbo Ranger), TJ Johnson (Red Turbo Ranger II) & Katherine Hillard (Pink Turbo Ranger I) using these powers in future battles.


Space Rangers
The Space Rangers derive their powers from KO-35, with Andros (Red Space Ranger) & Zhane (Silver Space Ranger) being the defenders of their home planet prior to it being conquered by Dark Specter.
Andros becomes the sole Space Ranger after Zhane is severely injured in a battle until he recruits the four former Turbo Rangers from Earth to fill the rest of the team.
The powers of the Space Rangers continue to be accessible, even after their run as the defenders of the universe, with the Astro Morphers being locked in a room in the Astro Megaship until the return of the Psycho Rangers, where they resume their roles as the Space Rangers.
Andros (Red Space Ranger), TJ Johnson (Blue Space Ranger) & Cassie Chan (Pink Space Ranger) also call upon these powers in future battles.


Galaxy Rangers
(Quasar Sabers)
The Galaxy Rangers derive their powers from the Quasar Sabers, five mystical sabers that were put into a rock on the jungle planet, Mirinoi thousands of years ago.
Four humans from Earth and a native from Mirinoi release the Quasar Sabers from their resting place and use these powers to defend the space colony, Terra Venture from the Insect Warlord, Scorpius, his daughter Trakeena and the Space Pirate, Captain Mutiny until they eventually return to Mirinoi to return the Quasar Sabers to their resting place.
The Galaxy Rangers call upon the powers of the Quasar Sabers again to fight their former foe, Trakeena on Earth with the Lightspeed Rangers.
Leo Corbett (Red Galaxy Ranger), Damon Henderson (Green Galaxy Ranger) & Karone (Pink Galaxy Ranger II) later call upon the powers of the Quasar Sabers to fight in future battles.

The four Time Force Officers recruits the ancestor of the original Red Time Force Ranger, Wes Collins to become their Red Time Force Ranger, with them eventually capturing Ransik and his prison full of Mutant Criminals.
The Time Force Rangers continue their roles as Time Force Rangers, with four of the Time Force Rangers from the future defending Millennium City while Wes Collins (Red Time Force Ranger) & Eric Myers (Quantum Ranger) defend Silver Hills with the Silver Guardians.

The Dino Gems somehow find their ways into a meteor that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, which also embedded some of their DNA inside each gem.
Three Dino Gems find their way into the possession of Tommy Oliver, which bonds with three of his students, making them Dino Rangers, who protect them from Mesogog, a reptilian scientist that desires to use them to bring Earth back to the Era Of The Dinosaurs.
The last two Dino Gems are found by Mesogog, with the Black Dino Gem being taken by Tommy Oliver and the White Dino Gem corrupting Trent Mercer for a short time.
The Dino Gems are drained completely after the Dino Rangers use all of their power to destroy Mesogog.
However, when three of the Dino Rangers are sent to the future, the Dino Gems are recharged by the weapons dealer, Broodwing but are stolen by the Dino Rangers, who use them to fight an army of Krybots with the SPD Rangers before returning to the present.
The Dino Gems somehow regain their powers once again due to all five Dino Rangers using these powers in future battles.
