Power Rangers Who Wore Multiple Colors, Ranked

The Power Rangers are some of the most iconic superheroes out there. They are famous for their brightly colored, spandex costumes. What casual viewers might not realize is that a Rangers’ color is integral to their powerset. Each Rangers’ power is tied to a specific part of the extradimensional energy field known as the Morphin Grid, and each Ranger has a unique connection with it. Only one version of each specific power can exist at a time. This is why two Ranger teams can work together, but why there cannot be two Pink Mighty Morphin Rangers active at the same time.

While most Rangers only use one set of powers, there are a few that have used multiple powers. more interestingly, some Rangers have actually changed colors. These Rangers especially stand out because they are so uncommon. Most Rangers have a pretty strong tie with their respective color. Swapping colors means changing a huge part of the Rangers’ identity. Not only are their powers tied to their color, but so is their position on the team. For example, becoming the Red Ranger usually means they’re the group’s leader.

13 All Of Megaforce Technically Changed Colors

Power Rangers Megaforce and Power Rangers Super Megaforce feature a team of Rangers with an unusual powerset. These Rangers are capable of copying and using the abilities of any other Ranger through the use of “Ranger Keys.” While the Rangers would usually transform into other Rangers of the same color, they sometimes transform into other colors.

One team member had a more permanent change. Jake, initially the Black Megaforce Ranger, changed to Green when using Super Mega Mode. He was primarily associated with both Black and Green when utilizing other team’s powers. The real-life reason that this happened was that Megaforce and Super Megaforce use footage from two different Sentai seasons, though the in-universe reason has never been given.

12 Rocky Never Got A Chance to Shine

Rocky DeSantos is the also-ran of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers crew. He took over as the Red Ranger when Jason left the team, but he didn’t take over as team leader. Instead, Tommy led the Rangers. While he did get developed throughout Mighty Morphin, he was never a break-out character like the others.

Rocky took on the Blue Zeo Ranger powers in Power Rangers Zeo. He was definitely better suited to the role of Blue Ranger and used his new powers well against the Machine Empire. When it came time for the Zeo Rangers to become the Turbo Rangers, Rocky was benched and disappeared until the Once & Always special.

11 Zayto Went Beyond The Color Spectrum

Zayto had an interesting journey as a Ranger. He was one of the original Dino Fury Rangers from Rafkon who helped defend Earth from the Sporix Invasion during the time of the dinosaurs. He was then placed in suspended animation for centuries before he awoke in the modern day. He led the team as the Red Dino Fury Ranger, though that wasn’t only his last alter ego.

At the end of the season, Zayto was destroyed while battling the Nemesis Beast. However, the Morphin Masters resurrected him as the white Dino Fury Zenith Ranger. During Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, Zayto rejoined the team and upgraded his powers alongside them. He retained his title as the Zenith Ranger but sported an unusual darker cream color.

10 Carlos Was A Late Bloomer

Midway through Power Rangers Turbo, the team received a major refresh as four of the five members were replaced. Carlos took over as the Green Turbo Ranger and helped the team finish their battle against the pirate Divatox. He was coached in soccer by Adam, which is why he was chosen to take the Green Turbo powers.

When the Turbo Rangers traveled to space to rescue Zordon from the forces of evil, they acquired the new Space Ranger powers. With these new powers came a few changes. Carlos transitioned from the Green Ranger to the Black Ranger and received lots of development. He overcame his self-doubts and became a much stronger hero as the Black Ranger.

9 Sky Finally Got What He Wanted

Most fans probably remember Sky from Power Rangers S.P.D. due to his hang-ups about his place on the team. From the beginning, Sky made it clear that he wanted to be the Red Ranger and leader of the team. However, Jack gets the position, and Sky becomes the Blue Ranger instead. He eventually learned to accept his role on the team.

At the end of the season, Sky was promoted to the Red Ranger after Jack retired. Sky matured during his time with B-Squad, and by the end of the show was ready for the responsibility. Power Rangers Operation Overdrive‘s “Once A Ranger” special later confirmed that Sky was promoted to Earth Base Commander.

8 Joe Is The Sixth Ranger Of Two Teams

Joe Shih might not sound familiar to fans of the Power Rangers TV show. That’s because he’s from Power Rangers HyperForce, a live-streamed, actual play RPG show set in the main Power Rangers universe. Joe Shih is played by Yoshi Sudarso, who also played Koda in Power Rangers Dino Charge.

Joe starts his Ranger career as the previously unseen, but extremely powerful, Time Force Silver Ranger. Joe was extremely capable and worked on a secret mission behind enemy lines. However, he eventually acquired the incredible Green HyperForce Ranger abilities. He’s a huge asset to the HyperForce team in their battle against evil across space and time.

7 TJ Didn’t Deserve His Demotion

TJ fantasized about being a Ranger ever since he was a boy and was lucky enough to have his dreams come true. When Tommy decided to step down as the Red Turbo Ranger, he selected TJ to take his place as the team’s leader. TJ did a great job and led the team on multiple adventures, despite his inexperience.

When the Rangers headed into space to rescue Zordon, TJ received a new Ranger color. There was already a Red Space Ranger, so TJ became the Blue Space Ranger instead. While he was still an incredible hero, TJ didn’t deserve the demotion. This became especially apparent in the “Forever Red” crossover when he used his Red Turbo Ranger powers again.

Trini is one of the most iconic Rangers since she was one of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. During her time with the original Power Rangers, she served as the Yellow Ranger and was an important part of the team. She’s a skilled fighter, a compassionate friend, and a genius in her own right.

In the ongoing comic series, Trini’s adventures extend beyond her time as the Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger. She joins Jason and Zack as the Omega Rangers on a mission in space. When Jason loses his connection to the Morphin’ Grid, Trini takes over as the Red Omega Ranger. Trini’s one of the original Rangers, and it’s great that she finally gets a chance to shine.

5 Adam Is One Of The Series Most Experienced Heroes

Adam Park might be best known as the second Mighty Morphin Black Ranger, but he is so much more. He quickly proved to be a fan favorite due to his good humor and tenacity. When the Rangers changed over to the Zeo powers, Adam became the Green Zeo Ranger instead. He also served as the first Green Turbo Ranger.

However, Adam is also one of the few Rangers who returned to a previous powerset. Adam utilized the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger powers briefly during an episode of In Space! when he helped Carlos regain his confidence. Adam also returned as the Black Ranger in Operation Overdrive‘s “Once a Ranger” special.

4 Bridge Never Lost His Goofy Charm

Bridge Carson was never the most standout S.P.D. Ranger. His team was full of big personalities, and as a more mellow goofball, he tended to stay in the background. However, he was a kind-hearted and dedicated hero. Bridge started his Ranger journey as B-Squad’s Green Ranger and used his powers well as the de-facto heart of the team.

When Jack left his powers behind and Sky was promoted to Red Ranger, Bridge was also promoted to Blue Ranger, although audiences never got to see it. When Bridge reappeared in Operation Overdrive‘s “Once a Ranger” special, he sported Red Ranger powers, showing he had been promoted again. He’s one of the few Rangers to have multiple colors on the same team.

3 Jason Was One Of The Best

Jason Lee Scott, the first Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, is one of the most legendary Rangers out there. He led the team in their early battles against Rita Repulsa and was renowned for his combat prowess. However, Jason left the Rangers along with Trini and Zack.

During Power Rangers Zeo, the Rangers needed to find someone to take over the Gold Ranger powers. Their old friend and leader Jason stepped into the role of Gold Ranger naturally and helped lead the team without overshadowing his compatriots. Even though Jason struggled to use the Gold powers due to the immense strain on his body, he was one of the strongest on the team.

2 Amelia Became The First Female Red Ranger

Amelia is the second person to use the Pink Dino Fury powers after the original Dino Fury Rangers fell defending Earth. She’s a capable and powerful Ranger as well as a dedicated reporter, but her story doesn’t end there. In her duties as a Ranger, she came into contact with her birth parents and learned that she was actually a Rafkonian refugee.

In Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, the statues the Rangers draw their power from are destroyed. They decide to use ancient technology to reforge their connection with the Morphin Grid. While most Rangers reconnect with their previous powers, Amelia’s were changed. Her powers transformed from Pink to Red, making her the first permanent female Red Ranger.​

1 Tommy Oliver Has Had The Most Powers

It is no great secret that Tommy Oliver stands ahead above most other Rangers. He’s been around since the series beginning and made his debut as the fearsome and deadly Green Dragon Ranger. However, these powers were short-lived, and Tommy had to retire. He was eventually gifted new powers and became the White Tiger Ranger.

When the Mighty Morphin powers were lost, Tommy became the Red Zeo Ranger and later the Red Turbo Ranger. Tommy later made his triumphant return in Power Rangers Dino Thunder. He bonded with the black dino gem to become the Black Dino Thunder Ranger. That’s four Ranger colors and five powersets for one hero, so it’s no wonder he received the Master Morpher.​​​​​​
