The Power Rangers are a group of superheroes that star in the various Power Ranger TV series, themselves based on the Japanese Sentai Ranger franchise. Though each team has a different story, they always consist of teenagers battling aliens, robots, mutants, and other creatures that threaten the Earth, they use transformation devices called "morphers". These give the Rangers access to giant robots, called "Zords". These zords, can then combine to form a bigger, humanoid robot called a "Megazord". Combined with auxillary zords that are either controlled by extra rangers, team-controlled, or autopiloted, Megazord becomes either Ultrazord or just a bigger version of itself with pieces randomly hanging off of it.
With each series, the central villain is defeated, but a new one always arises, summoning a new team of Rangers to battle.
Mighty Morphin'
The first Power Rangers team were referred to as the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, which were based on the TV Japanese TV series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger.
Origin
When the ancient witch Rita Repulsa was freed from her prison in the Moon, the entity Zordon found 5 teenagers and embued them with powers and weapons to fight her forces.
History
In 1993, two astronauts released Rita Repulsa, an evil, alien witch from her prison on Earth's Moon. Almost immediately, she, with her goons, Goldar, Squatt, Baboo, and Finster began to attack the Earth. Zordon, her archenemy, with his robot assistant Alpha 5, awoke from their slumber and summoned five teenagers with attitude: Jason, Trini, Kimberly, Zack, & Billy. These teens from the city of Angel Grove were given powered suits and weapons to help fight against Rita Repulsa and her minions.
The five with the help of Tommy, trumped Rita many times.
But then, Rita used a green candle Tommy had touched during his spell as evil Green Ranger, to deplete Tommy's powers and return them to her. She succeeded in draining his powers, but Zordon told Tommy to give his power coin to Jason, which would give Jason access to Tommy's Dragon Shield and Dragonzord.
