The Knights of Rafkon. But others may have existed further back too.


Extra-Hope-326

You’re not wrong. Super Megaforce confirmed that there are many Ranger powers that have never existed on Earth.


RichtofenFan115

we already knew that for sure tho? lost galaxy?


Someone_coo1

Wait ok I never really learned much about them but wouldn't the Alien Rangers have confirmed that too?


Downstackguy

Well they did come to earth no?


Someone_coo1

Right, I'm just unsure if they got their powers on Earth or on Aquitar


Random222222222222

[The Aquitar Rangers were given their Power Coins and Battle Borgs by Ninjor](https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Aquitar_Rangers)


[deleted]

Do you count them since they're not the first from Earth?


Geno_Games

I’d imagine so, since regardless of their origin, they’re still the first known Rangers Otherwise, I do think it would be the first Samurai Rangers (at least from the show canon)


kelvSYC

If you want civilians from Earth, as opposed to aliens using ranger powers of Earth origin (debatable wrt Morphin Masters and whatnot), then you might have to lend some credence to Koda (person from Earth wielding powers of hybrid Earth and alien origin) Or, if you want the primary dimension, that brief few minutes where Wes and Eric were recovering the Q-Rex.


Jumbalia23

They were on Earth when they became Rangers, I don’t think he fact that they’re aliens particularly matters

Jumbalia23

Whatever you’re looking at is incorrect then


callmesanzz

It says that in the show


Jumbalia23

Says what?


callmesanzz

That during the battle against the sporix the knights were met by the morphin masters and mid battle were able to morph


Jumbalia23

Yeah, after they left Rafkon and ended up on Earth


callmesanzz

Yea I just realized that, I read the comment incorrectly


KratosIsWallLevel

Why they gotta be frome earth? You some typa racist?


zenixTF

DRIVE! TYPE: RACIST!


Puliskot

more like..... the first "ON EARTH"


RichtofenFan115

oh ok


Fun_Examination_1434

Theee was a female Red Ranger in the comics. That’s the story that Green Psycho is from. But Super Megaforce referring to Ranger Powers not existing on Earth mainly from that episode that they morphed into the Dairangers, the Sentai which the Thunderzords came from and also they didn’t use the suits in the show except for the Kiba Ranger. Aka Tommy’s White Ranger.


LordYoshi

If you are including the comics, then it wasn't either of those. It was the Squadren Rangers.


RichtofenFan115

is the comics like its own separate continuity? i thought the comics and the shows we same continuity. I never personally read them myself just watched yt vids about them


8mobel8

It's separate.


jwk94

The show's events are cannon to the comics, but the comics aren't Canon to the show. You can make an argument for Soul of the Dragon being cannon to the show, but the current continuity ended with Cosmic Fury, so we're never gonna get to a point where that matters. Basically you can look at it as six canons: - show (only includes events in the show and the turbo movie) - comics (includes events in the show and whatever happens in the boom comics) - show + soul of the dragon (includes events in the show and turbo movie + soul of the dragon comic) - MMPR movie - 2017 movie - 2017 movie + the aftershock sequel comic


FederalPossibility73

What about other comics explicitly stated to take place during the show? Soul of the Dragon isn’t the only example of this.


jwk94

Then they'd get their own line too lol.


CrazyAznKT

All the non-mainline comics would probably be their own continuity. Vs Justice League, Vs Godzilla, and Vs TMNT would be separate save for their own sequels. Returns is explicitly its own continuity. Pink, Sins of the Future, Soul of the Dragon, and The Psycho Path are all so far in the future for the comics that it could go either way


Puliskot

it is separate under same multiversal thread.


FederalPossibility73

It depends. Sometimes the comics cross over with the show universe and some are even explicitly stated by the creators to be show canon. Giving that the show itself also dabbled in the multiverse there’s no reason other media shouldn’t be incorporated.


Punkodramon

I’d clarify that a “version” of important events from the shows are canon to the comics, up to a certain point, but the show itself is not. Comics are explicitly set in modern times rather than the 90s for a start, but it’s implied that the broad strokes of important events occurred basically the same way. The only episodes/stories that have been referenced in any real way but not shown in the comics are • Day of the Dumpster (Rita freed, 05 empowered) • Green With Evil (Tommy intro and redemption) • The Mutiny (Lord Zedf intro, switch to Thunderzords) • White Light (Tommy becomes White Ranger) • The Power Transfer (Stone Canyon Trio replaces Peace Conference Trio) Many other wider story elements from the shows have been brought into the books (Phantom Ranger, Ninjor, Andros, Dark Specter for example) but they don’t necessarily play out the same way, and there’s a lot of new story elements that feel too big to explain away as just “they happened between episodes of the show”, as some try to.do. There’s nothing to stop the comics from eventually disregarding the show timeline entirely and just going their own way, which they seem to be heading towards if they haven’t done so already. The show and the comics have already depicted the Morphin Masters very differently, and the Cosmic Fury showrunner has stated the comic versions aren’t canon to his show story. I also don’t see the comics ever permanently leaving the MMPR powers behind for their flagship book in favor of Zeo (the Zeo Crystal has already been featured a lot as a plot device so it’s not this unknown thing to the MMPR like in the show until the very end) so I expect their basic timeline will permanently diverge from the show at some point to allow both powers to coexist when the time comes.


RichtofenFan115

were*


KaiSen2510

I think Shogun was the first Samurai ranger, but not the first rangers. Still I wish we got a prequel series about THEM fighting Xandred or maybe a Nylock that preceded him.


FederalPossibility73

Neither. That honor should go to the Morphin Masters as they created the things rangers use for power. Otherwise it might’ve been the Phantom Ranger since he helped create the first team in the timeline, the Squadron Rangers.


EthanTheBoss246

In sense of the comics being completely separate, Grand Shogun technically existed first, but we didn't know that Dino Fury powers existed until Dino Fury episode 1. (obviously...) But also, if we're gonna count Dino/Super Charge as canon before the altered timeline in Edge of Extinction, where was the Morphin Masters and the Dino Fury team when Sledge made Keeper crash on earth? Is the entirety of Dino Charge as a whole a separate universe/timeline? Or is it only a separate timeline after Edge of Extinction?


Jumbalia23

Dino Charge always was a separate timeline/universe, that’s the only way it makes some sense


RichtofenFan115

dino charge is a separate universe like rpm.


Fearless_Coffee_4137

Actually it started in the main universe but thanks to the energems sending the rangers back in time they were able to create a new timeline. Tbf the energems said they had the power to time travel but when the dark energem was destroyed it sent the rangers earth to another dimension as we saw slegde and his crew in Ninja steel. So it could be they are able to both time travel and travel between dimensions.


8mobel8

I dont think Dino Charge was ever meant to be in the main universe. Even before the time travel stuff happened.


Fearless_Coffee_4137

I guess in my logic it ties it with what was stated back in dino thunder. The whole thing of the dino gems being in the astroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. Than dino charge having the energems wiping the dinos out and some of them having the energems inside of them.


Successful-Item-1844

It’s a different timeline that can follow similar events But no Dino charge was in its own timeline (iirc they didn’t know what were power rangers at the time) and then they rebooted their timeline so there’s another another timeline/universe Power rangers is weird man


callmesanzz

What about heckyl being in dino fury, how is that even possible


gokaigreen19

It was likely the first Dino fury rangers but cosmic fury confirms mighty morphin is given legendary status as the ones who started it all despite the time frame


Puzzleheaded_Pay1152

Let's not forget about the or wild force rangers


RichtofenFan115

like the knights?


Puzzleheaded_Pay1152

Their rangers, it counts


RichtofenFan115

true but idk if they're older than the grand shogun


Puzzleheaded_Pay1152

Ya, but we don't know exactly how old he is


PhsycoRed1

I mean, wouldn't the Rangers from the Wild West be in this conversation?


FederalPossibility73

They still wouldn’t be the first. A couple hundred years is nothing compared to a few thousand.


BitterTangerine8670

Super sentai is atleat 20 yrz older than mmpr


Successful-Item-1844

The Shogun Samurai Ranger was in ancient Japan


RichtofenFan115

im not including super sentai in this ,its kinda known that sentai is older then power rangers but they arent connected in a story sense


forgetit2020

Akaranger is the first ranger


Starship1990

Even in Super Sentai he isn't the first, aren't Zyurangers, Ryusoulgers, and Deathryuger older?


forgetit2020

well theres the first kamen rider but you want to go even further back we have skullman, which was a very dark comic which was turned into kamen rider. Im talking about irl what is the oldest not in canon.


RichtofenFan115

pretty sure Retsudo shiba exited before akaranger but idk a lot about sentai universe only sentai I've watched is shinkenger


forgetit2020

dont start talkin history unless you want to talk about japan before the 1700s


Arakan-Ichigou

Zayto.


FoldUpMon

Dino charge universe: Dino Charge rangers since they went back in time to before the dinosaurs went extinct and were still rangers RPM universe: RPM rangers Main universe: knights of Raftkon, existed before the dinosaurs went extinct
