by

Summary

  • Rare instances of the Purple Power Ranger include Bulk, Albert, Kendall, RJ, Donatello, Koragg, Ellarien, and Tarrick.
  • The Purple Power Rangers have unique abilities, backstories, and circumstances that set them apart from the rest.
  • Purple Rangers have appeared in various Power Rangers series and comic adaptations, showcasing diversity beyond traditional colors.

In the world of Power Rangers, I’ve always been fascinated by the diverse array of heroes. While Red, Yellow, Blue, and Black are the usual colors, there are some extraordinary Rangers who don’t fit into these common categories across different series in this iconic TV show’s history.

A Purple Power Ranger is quite uncommon, as none of the main series initially featured this color. Nevertheless, there are certain shows that introduced a Ranger wearing purple in later installments or portrayed an antagonist dressed similarly. Additionally, in extended comic content, this color appears, so some casual Power Rangers viewers may not be familiar with these specific rangers.

8. Alternate Purple MMPR

Bulk

  • Series/Comic: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Boom! Studios)
  • Zord: Baconodon

Fans might recall Bulk as both the menacing antagonist and occasional companion of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but in the eponymous comic series by Boom! Studios, he temporarily wore a purple Ranger suit instead.

Initially, Rita Repulsa managed to seize control over the Rangers by means of a monster. In response, Zordon enlisted the help of Bulk and Skull, bestowing upon them the roles of Purple and Orange Mighty Morphin Power Rangers through powerful coins that were seldom used. Bulk received the Baconodon Zord, along with a pig-themed outfit. Following their victory against the monster, Alpha 5 wiped clean their memories to ensure no one would recall they had ever been Power Rangers.

7. Dino Charge Purple Ranger (1)

Albert Smith

  • Series/Comic: Power Rangers Dino Charge
  • Zord: Plesio Zord

In one episode of Power Rangers Dino Charge, we’re introduced to Albert Smith, a man from New Zealand who claims to be a Bigfoot hunter but keeps a secret – he’s actually the Purple Ranger. Despite his timid and evasive behavior during battles, he steps up when it matters most, playing a crucial role in defeating Iceage and Sting Rage.

Following this confrontation, Albert makes up his mind to forgo his role as a Ranger. He opts to break his bond with his Energem, entrusting it to the fellow Dino Charge Rangers for safekeeping.

6. Dino Charge Purple Ranger (2)

Kendall Morgan

  • Series/Comic: Power Rangers Dino Charge
  • Zord: Plesio Zord

Following Albert Smith’s departure from his role as the Purple Ranger in the Dino Charge team, no one was utilizing the Energem. Kendall Morgan, an associate of the Rangers and the owner as well as chief scientist at Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum, became the potential recipient for the Energem after other attempts to find a worthy bearer proved unsuccessful. Eventually, Kendall ended up possessing the Energem.

During the mission to retrieve the swiped Energem, Kendall formed a connection with it, making her the enduring Purple Dino Charge Ranger and part of the team. She consistently showcased her might in numerous skirmishes, empowered by the talents of the Plesiosaurus, which she utilized to fight off malevolence throughout the show’s run.

5. Jungle Fury Purple Wolf Ranger

Robert “RJ” James

  • Series/Comic: Power Rangers Jungle Fury
  • Zord: Wolf Pride Megazord
    • Wolf Animal Spirit
    • Tiger Animal Spirit
    • Jaguar Animal Spirit

In the series, it was Robert James, often called RJ, who debuted initially as the mentor for the Jungle Fury Power Rangers. Later on, he joined the team himself, assuming the role of the Purple Wolf Ranger within the Jungle Fury Power Rangers group.

What sets him apart from other Purple Rangers is his unique skill to conjure a Wolf Spirit Animal and assume a form reminiscent of a werewolf. Combining his martial arts expertise with the powers of the Purple Ranger, he played a crucial role in the Jungle Fury team.

4. Dimension X Purple Ranger

Donatello

  • Series/Comic: MMPR/TMNT
  • Zord: N/A

In the combined comic book series known as MMPR/TMNT, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles joined forces with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. This unique setup had the Rangers taking on the role of Ninjas, while the Turtles adopted the identity of Power Rangers. In this tale, Donatello took on the position of the Black Power Ranger.

In a later cosmic scenario, it emerged that the Turtles assumed roles as Dimension X Rangers. This time, Donatello was symbolized by his bandanna’s hue, becoming the Purple Dimension X Power Ranger. Utilizing Shadow Morphers, they engaged in combat against Rita Repulsa to rescue their friend, Casey Jones, from her mind control.

3. The Knight Wolf

Koragg/Leanbow

  • Series/Comic: Power Rangers Mystic Force
  • Zord: Knight Wolf Centaur/Centaurus Wolf Megazord
    • Enlarged version of himself
    • Catastros: Koragg’s personal Zord.

Though Koragg doesn’t fit the standard definition of a Power Ranger, his remarkable abilities make him worth noting. As an ancient and intimidating warrior who fought under Octomus the Master, he was no easy foe for the Mystic Force Rangers. Intriguingly, the spirit of Koragg took over Leanbow, transforming him into a powerful figure clad in stunning purple armor reminiscent of a knight.

In time, Leanbow broke free and assumed the role of the Wolf Warrior, sporting a crimson version of the original suit. Nick Russell, the Red Ranger, was eventually taken over by Koragg, who became infamous as the Knight Wolf. Although he was vanquished in the series’ final episode, leaving no trace behind, his power and might were undeniably showcased throughout the series.

2. Purple Solar Ranger

Ellarien

  • Series/Comic: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Boom! Studios)
  • Zord: Purple Solarzord

In a different world, there is a character named Ellarien who commands the Solar Rangers, a team devoted to battling wickedness across a realm known as the Void – an expanse existing beyond the confines of space and time. Regrettably, in this universe, the Void has annihilated the Morphin Grid. The tough nature of Ellarien was forged by her challenging childhood on the city streets.

One fateful day, I found myself in a precarious situation, intending to secretly filch some food from a monk. But my plans were abruptly halted when the monk, using an extraordinary device called the Solarix morpher, defended himself. In the ensuing chaos, he bravely threw himself off a cliff in an attempt to shield me. Before his final breath, he bestowed upon me the Solarix and implored me to safeguard it from the ruthless Crimson Horde of the Preator. That life-altering encounter eventually led me on a journey that ultimately transformed me into a Solar Ranger.

1. Void Knight

Tarrick

  • Series/Comic: Power Rangers Dino Fury
  • Zord: N/A

As a dedicated fan, I’d rephrase that as follows: Initially, I was the principal adversary in Power Rangers Dino Fury, hailing from the alien world of Rafkon. With abilities bestowed upon me by my kin, I transformed into a formidable force. Time and again, I demonstrated that I was more than capable of outmatching the Rangers, even striking fear into the hearts of my own comrades.

Realizing I was under the control of the Void Queen, I found myself unwillingly serving her cause. But upon understanding the gravity of the situation, I made a decisive choice – I switched allegiances and joined forces with the Rangers to put an end to her tyranny once and for all. Time passed, and lo and behold, Tarrick resurfaced to aid the Cosmic Fury Rangers as the head of Earth’s resistance, standing tall against the formidable Lord Zedd.
