Some dedicated fans of Power Rangers may still remember a sixth Ranger wearing a green suit. Although the current Power Rangers reboot features a team of just five members, there are still discussions about the sixth Ranger, particularly the one in the green suit. While we haven’t encountered this character in the recent version of Power Rangers (as he wasn’t included in the cast or film posters), let’s take a moment to revisit the intriguing details about the Green Ranger, especially his significant role in the movie’s second part, should he make an appearance.
First Sixth Ranger
The concept of adding a sixth Ranger to the team has been around for quite some time, appearing in almost every series. Typically, a team of five superheroes is formed, only for them to discover the existence of a sixth member, who possesses immense power, making the original five feel somewhat inferior. This pattern has repeatedly emerged in various iterations of the Power Rangers franchise.
Aside from Zyuranger, the first part of the series introduced the character of the Green Ranger, who was initially portrayed as an antagonist seeking to disrupt the team before eventually becoming a hero.
Dragon Shield
When discussing the differences between various Power Rangers movies, one significant version to mention is the Dragon Shield, which is iconic as it marks the appearance of the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger.
In addition to the captivating fight scenes in the movie, the Green Ranger also had to wield a formidable shield. Later, when Tommy handed it over to Jason, it became an essential item during battles, creating memorable moments for the audience.
Green to White
When discussing the Green Ranger, we must also mention the White Ranger. Once he made his debut, Tommy quickly transformed into the most prominent member of the team and gained a significant fan following, to the point where it became challenging to imagine the series without him.
Later, Tommy donned a white suit and became the team’s leader. Over the years, he evolved into a vital character of the series, often appearing in various iterations with different costume designs. Thus, when we refer to the Green Ranger, we also think of the White Ranger in the context of the franchise.
Redemption of the Green Ranger
One of the most significant events in Power Rangers was when our superheroes faced challenges due to various reasons, sometimes even succumbing to darker influences. This theme was prevalent throughout many episodes in the Power Rangers series.
In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, our Green Ranger often turned into an antagonist several times due to the influence of evil forces. Often, Tommy’s evil version as the Green Ranger was seen as a formidable adversary.
