![]() Power Rangers fans will undoubtedly know that Rita is in for a darker destiny, yet it’s still refreshing to see a younger version of herself who hasn’t lost her innocence. This serves as a contrast to Fienna and Rita, who work to keep their mysterious protector alive after he suffers a near-fatal wound. Gogol also writes the Phantom Ranger as doggedly determined to complete the missions that Zordon gives him he doesn’t care if he dies in the process. In Edge of Darkness, that origin is finally revealed, and while I personally never expected it, it honestly makes a lot of sense. The Phantom Ranger has been shrouded in mystery ever since his first appearance on Power Rangers Turbo, with fans speculating about his true identity over the years. In the same vein as Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir To Darkness, Edge of Darkness focuses on another corner of the Power Rangers mythos, namely the Phantom Ranger. The Tengu cult is in the service of Fienna’s husband, Master Vile, who seeks to use Rita as a portal to summon the dreaded Dark Specter from his home dimension. Years ago, the mysterious Phantom Ranger was sent on a rescue mission by Zordon to save the sorceress Lady Fienna and her daughter Rita from a mad cult of Tengu warriors. being the force behind the Emypreals to begin with.Power Rangers Unlimited: Edge of Darkness #1 is written by Frank Gogol, illustrated by Simone Ragazzoni, colored by Igor Monti with assistance by Sabrina del Grosso, and lettered by Ed Dukeshire. Zophram, I think? I can never keep their names straight. I do wonder how it ties into the Empyreals though - is there a true cause to this being what allowed him to manifest, or was he taking advantage of the otherwise side-effect destruction of their attack? And where does this all fit in with. There's a certain bittersweet bite to the fact that Dark Specter properly emerging into the universe is something that won't get truly addressed here, since he has to be around for the In Space team to fight a few years down the line. Her story is truly a tragic one, and it makes sense for her to have this potential for goodness inside of her, with the Z-Wave at the end of the original series not destroying, but purifying her and allowing her to become the Mystic Mother (Mystic Force doesn't get enough love, honestly). I loved the interplay with Rita here, getting some more insight into the relationship between her, Master Vile, Dark Spectre, and how she became who she would eventually be as an Empress of Evil. The suit itself contains pure Morphin Energy, which he's made of, if I understood that right. ![]() Twenty four years of mystery finally given at least somewhat of an answer - the theory that the Phantom Ranger is a physical embodiment/manifestation of the Morphin Grid itself seems to be the final contender.
