Had a wild hair to put together a list of Power Rangers (and related characters) I'd love to see brought into MUGEN.

Originally had included Scorpina on this list, but it has come to my attention that she has a high chance of being in a future project by a certain talented individual . So went with a back-up choice.

(Left-to-Right)
-Dai Shi/'Jarrod' the Black Lion Warrior (Jungle Fury):
Main villain of the 'Jungle Fury' era, this powerful bastard has one of the coolest armor designs of the franchise. This striking Black & Gold Lion motif that just makes for an immediate impression. In reality, he's a giant 8-headed Dragon that resembles 'Kaiser Ghidorah', but with more heads tacked on. But I kinda feel he loses a bit of his design 'punch' when he's forced to vacate the body of his unwilling host, Jarrod. He seeks to eliminate humanity so he can rule a planet of animals and monstrous beasts.

He's a bad enough dude to get included into the 'Battle for the Grid' game, so clearly I'm not alone in thinking he's some serious awesome shit. Would be pretty cool to see him throw down with the likes of Lord Drakkon, Ivan Ooze or Lord Zed.

-Psycho Red (Power Rangers in Space):
I know I'm not the only one who enjoyed the 'Psycho Rangers' concept, evil counterparts to that era of Rangers who got to make encore appearances even after their series concluded. I chalk most of the concept's enduring popularity to their wicked cool designs. I mean just look at them, they're not just simple repaints/pallete swaps of their goodie-two-shoe counterparts, but have a distinctive design pattern.

I'd see his hypers/supers involving either a big assist from his Psycho comrades or him donning his 'monster form'.

-Ranger Slayer (Shattered Grid)):
I LOVE what BOOM! Studios has done with the Power Rangers. And one of the more cooler concepts is the alternate reality world dominated by Lord Drakkon, an evil/corrupted version of former Green Ranger Tommy Oliver. One of the people who fell to his influence (not by choice) was the Pink Ranger herself, Kimberly. Dubbed the 'Ranger Slayer' she was one of his best warriors. But an encounter in the past with her previous self freed her of his control.

I just really dig her look, and the fact that she's an older and more badass version of the Pink Ranger.

-Gold Zeo Ranger (Power Rangers Zeo)
Wow, an actual unequivocally heroic character? I was (back in the day) sure amazed that they brought back the former Red Ranger, Jason Scott, for the role of Gold Zeo Ranger. Well technically he replaced the original Gold Zeo Ranger, Trey of Triforia. And Jason got to fully and truly 'pass the torch' to the guy who replaced him as Red Ranger on the roster, Rocky. Like other previous (and subsequent) 'Sixth Rangers', his design is meant to stand out. And he's definitely got some extra power and abilities at his disposal.

For me the most interesting aspect of this character was how he made subsequent reappearances in some of the shows coming after Zeo. He, well Trey of Triforia, among other allies, participated in the massive 'Countdown to Destruction' event and was one of the many MANY Rangers who participated in the super-massive 'Legendary Battle' generational crossover event.

So yeah, it'd be fun to see the Gold Zeo Ranger clash swords with other Rangers as well as the likes of Lord Zed, Drakkon, etc.

-Black Dragon (Boom! Studios Comics):
Another cool BOOM! Studios concept, the twisted/corrupted and remade version of the Dragonzord from the world of Lord Drakkon. It is way more than just a simple Zord though. Either it was superior tech from Drakkon's empire, or infused with the power of it's master/controller, it had quite the arsenal of abilities at it's disposal. The most noticable one was the ability to shrink itself to human-size, which it does just to show the Rangers how high their were punching above their weight class.

It stomped quite the mudhole in the Rangers until they managed to find a way to beat it. It's armor and exoskeleton (still shrunken) was later used by Trini Kwan as a suit to help fight back against Drakkon's forces.

Just from a design standpoint, he's quite awesome-looking. Which doesn't surprise, since it's a reconstructed and massively twisted version of the Dragonzord. Don't know HOW such a beast would get made, but it's still be pretty damn awesome to see.
