"Unlimited Power" is an exciting comic book story from 2020. It's part of the popular Power Rangers world, created by Hasbro. This big event was written by Ryan Parrott. It appeared in two comic series: Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers. This was the third major crossover story in the Power Rangers comics by Boom! Studios. Before this, there were "Shattered Grid" in 2018 and "Necessary Evil" in 2019.

What Happened Before

Before "Unlimited Power" began, some important things happened in the Power Rangers' world. These events set the stage for the new story.

Main Power Rangers Universe

In the main Power Rangers universe, a powerful villain named Lord Drakkon was locked up. He had survived being in the Morphin Grid, which is the source of the Power Rangers' powers. The Power Rangers kept him prisoner at their Command Center.

Meanwhile, Lord Zedd gathered his evil helpers. He wanted to create his own "Dark Rangers" using a clone of Rita Repulsa and a special item called the Chaos Crystal. Grace Sterling and Billy Cranston worked together. They tried to fix the Green Power Coin for a new hero.

Lord Zedd sent his Dark Rangers to attack Angel Grove. The Power Rangers fought them bravely. Only the Rita clone managed to defeat Tommy Oliver. Zedd then used the Chaos Crystal to summon giant monsters called Terrorzords. The Power Rangers were almost beaten. But then, a mysterious new Green Ranger appeared! This new Ranger was recruited by Grace Sterling and her group, Promethea. The Green Ranger destroyed Zedd's Chaos Crystal. This allowed the Power Rangers to defeat the Dark Rangers, who then lost their powers.

At the same time, the Omega Rangers were on a mission far away. They went to a planet called Gorvinos III to return its people home. But they found the planet completely destroyed. A strange figure appeared. This figure was from a group called the Imperyal. The Imperyal wanted to destroy the entire universe. The Imperyal defeated the Omega Rangers, forcing them to escape back to Earth.

Alternate Power Rangers Universe

In a different universe, everyone thought Lord Drakkon was gone forever. The Ranger Slayer (an alternate version of Kimberly Hart) tried to fix the mistakes of her past. She faced off against Scorpina, who was now in charge of Drakkon's army. After a difficult talk, the Ranger Slayer earned the trust of a group called the Coinless.

But then, zombies led by the ghost of Rita Repulsa attacked them. An alternate Trini Kwan had summoned Rita's ghost. She did this in a desperate attempt to end their war, but it didn't work. The Ranger Slayer convinced the Sentries (Drakkon's former army) to join forces with the Coinless. They fought Rita's zombie army together. Trini and Scorpina managed to trap Rita back in her staff. This made all the zombies disappear. Everyone chose the Ranger Slayer to become the new leader of the Sentries.

The Ranger Slayer tried to get used to her new role. But Drakkon's past actions had caused a lot of damage. After an argument with a rebel, Adam Park suggested locking the rebel in a special prison called the Deathlock. This prison was made by Drakkon. The Ranger Slayer decided to go there and free all the prisoners. As she freed a man in Ranger armor, he revealed something terrible. Her actions had activated a signal. This signal would call an army of space monsters to conquer the world if Drakkon was ever defeated.

The prisoner was freed from his armor and revealed to be Jason Scott. Scorpina then revealed that the invading creatures were led by Eclipta. Eclipta was a messenger for Dark Specter. Jason suggested removing the Power Coins from the Deathlock's disruptor. But the others disagreed. During the battle between the Sentries and Eclipta's army, Jason removed the Coins anyway. This caused the Sentries to lose their powers.

However, the Ranger Slayer convinced Jason that this was not the right way. She then had an idea. She decided to use the remaining Power Coins in a reactor. This would spread Morphin Energy to everyone. They attacked Eclipta until the reactor exploded. Eclipta was defeated by the Coinless and the Black Dragon Army. This army had now reformed and was called the "Shattered." While the Ranger Slayer began to rebuild Angel Grove, Andros told Dark Specter about Eclipta's defeat.

The Main Story Begins

This is where the "Unlimited Power" story truly kicks off, with new challenges for both Power Ranger teams.

The Teams Break Apart

• Mighty Morphin #1
• Power Rangers #1

The Power Rangers discussed who the new Green Ranger might be. At the same time, Lord Zedd's helpers (Goldar, Finster, Squatt, and Baboo) wondered what to do with Zedd. He was unconscious after the Green Ranger destroyed his Chaos Crystal. Meanwhile, Skull's girlfriend, Candice, was secretly from Zordon's home planet, Eltar. She was on a special mission from the Guardians of Eltar.

When the Omega Rangers returned to Earth, they asked Zordon for help. They needed Lord Drakkon's knowledge about the Imperyals. Zordon refused to help Drakkon. This left the Omega Rangers with no choice. They decided to free Drakkon from his prison themselves. This caused a big disagreement with Zordon and Alpha-5.

The Power Rangers' Story

• Mighty Morphin #2–[x]

After the Omega Rangers freed Drakkon, the Power Rangers debated if it was the right thing to do. Zordon began hiring people to capture the Omega Rangers. During a visit to a fun fair, Candice was chased by humans. These humans had been turned into Putties by Lord Zedd.

After retreating from that battle, Zordon discovered something important. The new Green Ranger was working for Promethea. This led to a big argument between Zordon and Grace Sterling. Back in the fight, the brainwashed Putties combined into one giant monster. Skull was knocked out during the battle. Bulk then confronted Candice about her secrets. This led Candice to go to Zordon and reveal her true identity: Zenya of Eltar.

The Green Ranger stepped in to help the Power Rangers. They defeated the giant Puttie. But Zedd used the Chaos Crystal again. He trapped Angel Grove inside a force field. In the end, the Green Ranger revealed his identity to the world through a public message. His name was Matthew Cook.

The Omega Rangers' Story

• Power Rangers #2–[x]

After freeing Drakkon, the Omega Rangers were on the run. They were searching for something called the Shattered Grid with Drakkon's help. Their ship suddenly lost power. The Omega Rangers thought Drakkon caused it. But it turned out to be creatures called the Horrid. The Horrid were like vampires. They had been transformed after experiments destroyed their planet.

To gain time, Drakkon pretended to betray the Omega Rangers. He did this to get close enough to kill the Horrid King. After this encounter, they all arrived in the Morphin Grid. But the Grid was corrupted by Drakkon's nightmares. Once there, the team avoided the spirit guardians that used to protect Drakkon. They found the remaining parts of the Red Emissary's body. Xi scanned the body and realized a piece was missing. Drakkon suggested they travel to Onyx, a planet full of mercenaries, to find it.
