Top 5 Black Power Rangers of All Time #shorts

After setting out to rank the best of the best of the Power Rangers across the television franchise, it might have looked like the Black Rangers were left out in the cold. The often second-in-command with a usually distinctive fighting style haven’t been forgotten, though. Now that the debates about which Yellow Ranger was the best and which Blue Ranger was the worst have been settled, it’s time to get down to the business of analyzing all of those heroes in black.

Black Rangers actually appear least often across all of the series in the Power Rangers franchise, with Green Rangers only appearing in a few more seasons than them. Several teams sport guys in green in lieu of black, which means there isn’t a huge list of Power Rangers to work from like there is for the team-leading Red Rangers. In addition to the Black Rangers who appeared as members of core teams in their seasons, this list also contains a few special sixth rangers who stood in for the role when teams didn’t have anyone in black on the core team.

Fifth place goes to Chase from Power Rangers: Dino Charge.
The first Ranger to receive his energem in the present day on the Dino Charge team, Chase (James Davies) proved himself as a truly brave soul before he was ever granted special abilities. He received the energem as a reward for saving a woman’s cat, and he became the first Black Ranger to become a Power Ranger before the rest of his team.

Fourth place goes to Dillon from Power Rangers RPM.
While most of the Rangers on the RPM team seem like stereotypes when the audience first meets them, their character arcs make them stand out from a lot of the characters in the franchise. Dillon, who only calls himself that because he doesn’t know his real name, is one of those characters.

Suffering from amnesia, Dillon begins the show trying to make his way to the protected city of Corinth and repeatedly being attacked. Even though his car was being hijacked at one point, he teamed up with the hijacker (and another future fellow Ranger) to make sure that they would both get to the city alive. He was aloof and standoffish when his offer to join the team was extended, but he respected the Red Ranger as leader and felt a sense of duty to protect the city.

Third place goes to Danny from Power Rangers Wild Force.
Danny was the fourth Ranger to be recruited for the Wild Force, as all of the heroes got the call at different times. Something of a gentle giant, Danny is physically the strongest member of his team, but he’s sweet and introspective, not someone who's prone to showing off his skills.

In addition to that strength, Danny can also understand what the Wild Force zords are saying, though the only other Ranger who can is the team leader. He also serves up a near constant reminder to never give up, though sometimes he needs a little reminding of his own. He puts his place on the team above everything else, despite his outside interests in studying flowers or in his coworker at a local flower shop.

Second place goes to Tommy from Power Rangers Dino Thunder.
Tommy has a big advantage over everyone else on this list: he knows the game. By the time he’s a Black Ranger, Tommy has seen more than his fair share of action, been on a few different teams, been brainwashed and come out of it more than once, and has gone up against more villains in the franchise than anyone else. That should make him the best Black Ranger, right? In reality, he’s better off as a mentor to his team than he is a Ranger.

The number one spot goes to Adam from Power Rangers Mighty Morphin.
Some might be wondering just how Adam managed to outrank his former team leader Tommy, and if this were a list of Green Rangers, Tommy would come out on top. As a Black Ranger, Adam was the consummate team player, always being there to fight alongside his pals, and he even did it before officially becoming a Black Ranger, helping the Pink Ranger long before he was offered a power coin of his own. He experimented with new forms of fighting, kept an open mind when he met new people, and slowly built up his confidence over the course of the series.

Despite his last Ranger color being Green, Adam also returned for a few team up episodes in his old Black Ranger gear, once to show Carlos what it meant to be a Ranger for In Space, and once in Operation Overdrive with Rangers from various seasons to help out on a particularly tough mission. For Adam, once a Ranger, always a Ranger.
