The Most Powerful Power Ranger EVER

all right I don't know if any of you guys are Reading Power Rangers right now but this comic is amazing and the ending of this is gonna blow your mind so this initially opens up with the Power Rangers showing up to the Moon Flying the Dragonzord which crash lands into the moon questions why because there's basically a giant force field around the Moon they couldn't get through it through traditional means so they had to kind of use like a stealth field generator but as soon as they went through the Zord comes crashing down but once they get there goldar is like racing towards them with an army of putties now their initial response here is like okay well here comes goldar leading an army of putties like he always does but nah man it's goldar fleeing for his life this dude's running as fast as he possibly can and even when he gets there he's like you guys have to help me right now the reason why they're even here is because they're responding to a distress signal and this distress signal was sent by Lord Zed himself so for those of the guys who never follow the Power Rangers lore Zed was a horse right this guy was like the original OG like straight up villain in the Power Rangers Mythos so the fact that this guy is calling for help is kind of a crazy thing so in response of course the Power Rangers show up and they do what they can where they can but they're basically told that Lord that himself is in a chamber right in the caves below the surface of the Moon and under the palace and so you end up getting like Tommy the White Ranger Kimberly the Pink Ranger and then Matt the Green Ranger who respond Now Matt will talk about here in a little bit because he is a ranger but he's not technically a Zordon Power Ranger he actually got his powers from a woman named Grace and a company called Promethea which was kind of cool right it was a really cool concept but as soon as they get there basically Lord Zed just kind of calls out for help and Rita repulsa is like standing over this guy now Technically she's not Rita she's mistress vile we'll explain that too because she's pretty awesome in this form but the funny thing here is that like the Power Rangers do exactly what you would expect them to do right like they go to fight Rita repulsa and this mystery man that she has by her side who's simply known as the vessel that guy is amazing dude this guy is so dope in fact in this fight this guy makes a move against like Matt the Green Ranger and just like smashes his head into a wall like that one of the things to understand the Power Rangers are pretty capable right these guys are able to hold their own against most any and all threats not against the vessel man this guy dominates every one of these folks and it's not even by a little bit right Kimberly is being held captive by Rita repulsely because that's Kimberly and she sucks but when it comes to like Tommy the White Ranger this guy's getting absolutely crushed and even Lord Zed tells him no do not fight them if you fight them you will die Retreat is the only thing that we can do so basically that's all they have right like Matt just throws Lords out on his back Tom he's like get out of here guys teleport out get back to headquarters and like we'll call it a day the problem is they can't really repair the original dragon sword that they used to get to the surface so they end up having to use serpenterra what serpenterra that's basically the Dragonzord provided to Matt by way of Grace and like promethia it's like the second generation dragon sword and I gotta be honest with you guys man this one's kind of better than the first if I'm being honest it just looks cooler but for Tommy himself right the White Ranger who's nowhere near as cool as he was when he was originally the Green Ranger I don't care what anybody says Tommy the Green Ranger is better than Tommy when he was a white ranger and there's no arguing that point but this dude gets crushed by The Vessel I mean he like pins the sky against the wall smashes heading to the ground it's not even a fight right it's not even like a contest like come to find out Matt had basically shown back up again and now Matt is in effect sacrifice fighting himself in order to give Tommy and Kimberly a way out of here now what he does here is he kind of refers to himself using words like you know he's the extra he's the unnecessary guy that kind of thing and to a degree he is but he's also not at the same time and again we'll kind of clarify all that here in a second right refrain to himself as the spare and so on and so forth but where the Power Rangers grab serpenterra and get out as fast as they can you end up having the vessel and you have Rita I.E mistress vile that use the combination of their staffs although technically the vessel is using the staff of Lord Zed to basically shoot the thing down right so they get out just far enough to be able to teleport away and that's essentially it but Matt is basically just left back there and effectively trapped only for us to find out that what reader will pulse is doing here she has basically arrived in this place for the purpose of stealing the Zeo Crystal now this is where you start to run into some of the similarities but also some of the differences between the original Power Rangers series and the comic book and what I mean is like the comic originally started out sort of filling in the gaps between the different episodes of the original Power Rangers series but kind of became its own Mythos right so for those of you guys who remember season three Master vial and the metallic armor the whole idea behind that is that below the surface of the Moon is the Zeo Crystal which basically contains a vast amount of power a person who's able to contain this would be nigh Unstoppable we'll find out exactly what Rita's plan is when it comes to all this but once Zed is taken back to the headquarters of the Power Rangers he basically reveals to Zordon exactly what had gone down and seemingly just like out of nowhere Rita just like showed up with the vessel and this Army of putties that were basically indestructible and just took the place over right just like that launched like this crazy attack against everybody and even against the power of the vessel Lord Zed was basically nothing right there was nothing he could do against this guy and that's why he told the Power Rangers you have to get out of here because if you don't you're all gonna die but getting the Zeo crystal is no small thing because then they start to realize exactly how powerful that she's become as well as what it is that she's capable of and presumably what it is that she's going to be doing but what you end up doing in the middle of all of this is the Rangers are basically distracted because they're sent on a mission by Zordon to basically respond to the Omega Rangers who have effectively sent out a kind of SOS now the Omega Rangers are unique to the comic book line they are not in the TV series and I don't think they've ever been in the TV series in any capacity suffice it to say they're pretty powerful a lot of the traditional Power Rangers that you're aware of Jason Zach Trini they went on to become Omega Ranger that's how the comics sort of split the difference between like the OG Power Rangers and like the newer version of the Power Rangers like Rocky and Aisha and different characters like that Alpha One is basically just a robot right that reader repulsa has the earliest iteration of alpha 5 right the robot that kind of helps out Zordon and so forth that was basically corrupted and the way this is explained is that Rita in talking to Matt who she's currently torturing and tormenting and so on she talks about how for her being the daughter of mistress vile she never really had any respect for her father and the reason for this is he was always on the hunt for basically the Zeo Crystal right this artifact that could be used in order to create a vessel for the dark Specter now the dark Specter is just kind of like this nigh omnipotent being that exists out there and in fact we'll get more information about him here in a little while but the overall gist here is that for eons Untold right that Master vile has constantly been seeking out some kind of a vessel for the dark Specter presenting that vessel but it just never really seems to reach fruition because he's always missing what is in effect the Zeo Crystal he can never get his hands on it so that's why Rita never really takes him seriously and even he himself is kind of a failure because of all the power that Master vile has all comes by way of the dark Specter at any moment he can take that power away and in fact that's exactly what goes on here that what they do is they go to the planet and furnace the home of where the dark Specter currently resides with its existing host and master vile presents the new host which turned out to be Alpha 1 in this particular circumstance right that Alpha One was kind of recreated or at least reprogrammed by Master vile in order to send him forward as a potential host the issue here is that when he's presented as a vessel for the dark Specter the dude flips he's like really a robot right like a walking talking metal machine with wires that's your tribute that's your offering and he tells them like for too long have I granted you Untold power and watched you fail for too long have I made excuses for the fact that you're never able to come through and what he does intend to kill him instead Rita turns on him and in fact she attacks her dad on the spot and even goes to try to kill him and for the most part she actually holds off she simply decides not to destroy him and that's kind of the question that alpha one asked like why don't you simply destroy him but what you end up getting here is the dark Specter who looks to her and says one because of the fact that you have a smidge right you're infused with Morphin grid energy then there's no way for me to basically take over you right because the dark Specter cannot actually access the morphin grit this source of power for all the Power Rangers read us not technically a Power Ranger but she does have a bit of the morphin grid about her and so what she says is yes I know that I cannot be your host but I can be your new violent this is how it was that Rita achieved this immense level of power and immediately took out Lord Zed and all of his forces because from there it was her on the hunt to find the zero Crystal now now as for the vessel this was just kind of found on a frozen World there is more to this if you know please do not spoil in the comments section but what we do is we jump away from this flashback with Rita repulsa gaining our new power Master vial and so on and we pick up with the fight with Alpha One and this guy is able to pretty much overpower all the Rangers who are here the only reason he's able to do this though is because of the level of power that was given to him by Rita by way of her mistress vile Powers right the abilities and the enhancements that came along with that if this was just like the normal Alpha One yeah this guy would have just been beat to a pulp they would have turned this guy into a toaster and they all would have been eating breakfast right that's all it really would have been but what ends up going on here is Trini of the Omega Rangers pops up and what she says is that Alpha One had actually deep powered and defeated pretty much all of the Omega Rangers except for her and another guy so that's why the forces here are very limited they are able to offer a conflict here a measure of resistance and they do cut the head off of Alpha One and turn himself into a giant machine which is pretty cool right it's pretty awesome to see him walk around with his head cut off but then you'll get a bit of information from Trini at least what little information she's able to provide directly to Kimberly and all she really says here is that this planet used to have what was called a Master Forge well actually learn that's something referred to as an arc which really has a significant role in all of this and really kind of pieces together what it is that Rita is doing but presumably that's why Alpha One was here but again everything popped off with the Omega Rangers and the Power Rangers before they can even really get a definitive answer and even when Alpha One his head is just talking to them and kind of taunting them with like I'll eventually reconstruct myself I cannot be killed I'm basically Immortal he doesn't really give them a whole lot of information right he just says like I am in the service of Rita and I will help her achieve her goal of allowing the dark Specter to enter the universe and Conquer everything right so just traditional villain stuff but what they are able to do do is attain what's called a Morphin grid Navigator what is this okay so this is explained to us within the confines of this story and what we're told here is that eons ago the morphin Masters basically the ones who created the morphin grid and are responsible for just the nature of the power source that Power Rangers tap into to attain their abilities that they built Master arches on several planets rich in connection to the morphin grid the best way to think about the morphin grid within the Power Rangers Mythos is to give it like the force from Star Wars it kind of permeates everything but it's almost similar to like the speed force in DC Comics where it is like an actual realm slash Dimension that exists out there so again it's a pretty cool concept but they're told that an evil entity known as dark Specter was determined to access the main world right the real world through these portals and sent numerous invasions to these various planets the results were catastrophic and so faced with the fact that dark Specter could potentially really enter in from his Dimension to the real world and bring seemingly Untold death and destruction along with it the morphin Masters did the only thing they could they basically destroyed these arches so that there was no conceivable way for the dark Specter to enter into the real world hence the necessity of a vessel that if a person can serve as what is in effect a physical host for the essence of dark Specter he can enter into the main World itself and effectively reactivate these portals and then do his own thing such as it is that's the goal of Rita in his stead the goal of Rita is to find these arches activate them and then give this guy a literal doorway that he could use to enter into this place now as far as the Navigator is concerned it's one of the coolest things because what we're told here is that with Navigators themselves you can effectively use them to enter into the morphin grid and when you do they're really just kind of like a beacon or like a compass you can travel anywhere in time and space face the past the present the future all throughout the entirety of the dimension the other part of this is that seemingly the morphin grid has access to any and other alternate realities that exists out there we're not told that directly but that seems to be the case but regardless of how you slice it by way of Rita repulsa having this Navigator and then being able to enter the morphin grid due to the fact that she is partially infused with Morphin energy yes it could allow dark Specter to enter into the real world but it would allow her to enter into the morphin grid and then travel at any point through the past in the present imagine if Rita could go back and simply just stop the Power Rangers from ever being created in the first place now what you end up getting following this is you have a meeting that takes place between Lord Zed and a woman named Grace now this is where we kind of start to talk about the character of Matt because within the Power Rangers Mythos Grace is a woman that leads an organization called Promethea they're like a multi-billion dollar our company that's out there what's also ironic is she was at one point a red ranger but the thing about this is that prometheia while it is his own organization it works alongside the Power Rangers and it actually has access to things like the morphin grid and so on and so forth that's how Matt got his powers he's basically a green ranger that was effectively created by Grace right the dragon sword that he has is by all Sanders a measurement gifted to him by way of Grace it's a cool thing right that's why he kind of refers to himself as like the spare or the extra or the unnecessary guy because he wasn't really given a Morpher by Zordon himself now as for Lord Zed while he talks to Grace and she keeps talking about how like we'll find a way to win and that kind of thing he almost kind of mocks her and makes fun of her you know because he's like you humans even in the face of complete and total eradication you're still hopeful you still believe that you actually have a chance but he effectively tells her I'm the only one that can help you I'm the only one that can ensure that any and all of you you are able to come out on top if I am not free from this prison and if I am not able to achieve my goal of destroying Rita and taking the Zeo Crystal from her then yeah everything is going to end you guys can do what you can when you can where you can but nothing's going to come out of that and so what you end up doing here and this is like the most epic part of this whole story you guys are gonna lose your minds what you end up doing here is you pick up with zed while he's in his prison and there's this guy that walks by and kind of like taunts him and makes fun of him right talks trash to him a little bit and Zed is just kind of like you really think that this this archaic force field could truly hold me has it ever occurred to you that I'm here because I choose to be not because I have to be and this guy doesn't necessarily even really seem to understand what it is that Zed sang right he says like I think you're talking real big for a guy without his magic staff it'll still hurt trying to get through this quote-unquote archaic Force field and his response is you think I fear pain I have been flayed alive human I have experienced pain more severe than anything you could ever comprehend sticking my hand through a force field and the shock that comes with it that's nothing right something like overpowers this guy and just walks right through the force field right now here's the crazy thing at that point alarm Bells go off everywhere right like everybody's freaking out everybody's panicking Lord Zeds escaped right there like like literally Grace is just like oh my God that's Lord Zed sector when they get there she says what are you holding and he says a present originally left as a special surprise for the Rangers but refashioned for a different purpose I believe there is a special term that's used when one of these is activated let me think oh that's right I remember now It's morphin time that's right ladies and gentlemen Lord Zed has just become a Power Ranger what that being said guys work for watching and I will catch you all later peace
