The teens are able to tap into the Morphin Grid and take on the forms of Rangers throughout time, including the MMPR Rangers. This limited mini-series, set in the distant past, follows a group of six Morphin Master teens ( if you want more explanation on the Morphin Masters we’ve got you covered) holding off Dark Specter’s forces.
Now, almost thirty years later, the sword appeared in the comic Power Rangers Universe #3. Jason told Robogoat that Zordon teleported the sword back to the Commander Center, “where it belongs.” The sword was never mentioned again after this fight. Red Ranger Jason managed to knock the sword out of Robogoat’s hand and it disappeared. Robogoat claimed the sword could be used to steal Tommy’s powers, though this may have actually been a reference to Robogoat simply using the sword to deplete Tommy’s then diminishing powers. Zedd was able to steal the sword and give it to the monster Robogoat, which used it to attack the Rangers. The Rangers summoned the sword by putting their hands together and all shouting, “SWORD OF POWER!” The Rangers were also aware of the sword, Tommy stating that the sword could give him “an extra boost of power” that would sustain him through a battle.
Oddly the sword was treated as if it had already been established, with Zedd aware of its existence and knowing that it could only be summoned, “when all of the Power Rangers are united together.” The Sword of Power’s only appearance was in the episode ‘The Green Dream,’ in which the evil Lord Zedd planned to steal the sword from the Power Rangers. One such bit of lore that was just brought back for the Power Rangers Universe comic is the Sword of Power, a weapon that was first introduced all the way back in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2. Now though Power Rangers is a gigantic franchise with a comic by Boom Studios that delights in expanding on these forgotten pieces of lore. Power Rangers wasn’t some great epic that was being woven with care, the writers were just trying to explain the Japanese source footage as best they could. It’s no wonder that the earliest days of the show were filled with huge pieces of lore that were quickly cast aside.
It was a disposable piece of entertainment, something to film as quickly as possible and move on. Warning: This article contains spoilers for the comic Power Rangers Universe #3.įor a franchise that began in 1993 on Fox Kids and has been running for nearly 30 years, in the beginning no one really thought Power Rangerswould be a hit.
