I realised after I started to write my revamped 'Mighty Morphin' fanfic that the different or altered content of my stories, compared with the original 'Mighty Morphin Power Ranger' show, might confuse readers. So, I created this glosary to help you with your queries - hopefully they'll be answered here!

Aisha – The second Yellow Ranger, who assumed the Yellow mantle after Trini left the team. She is only small, but she is a surprisingly fierce fighter with immense courage. Aisha is a lively and generous Power Ranger, and Kimberly’s best friend.
Alpha 5 - Android assistant to Zordon. He mans the Command Centre. He hails from the planet Edenoi, and is one in a series of Alpha robots. He gets easily flustered and worries a lot, but he is popular amongst the Rangers, and has become like a little brother to them.

“coin flip” – Phrase used by the Rangers when they wield two coins at once.

It is a natural phenomenon, which also allows teleportation, access to other dimensions, and, for those with the ability, telepathy.

The Coppers’ Morphin powers are no way near as strong as the true Power Coins, but they are useful. As used by the Z Rangers, produced and gifted unto them by Zedd.

She is a powerful witch, who holds one of the higher-ranking positions in Zedd’s military. She headed the war against Zordon, whilst Zedd was fighting in other galactic regions, several thousand years ago, but failed to win, and was imprisoned in a Zithium cylinder by the wizard. She managed to catch Zordon in a time warp for eternity in return, but remained imprisoned for 10000 years, floating about in space in it with her evil band. She was later released, and, upon Zedd’s order, set about trying to conquer Earth. She later married her master, not realising quite what she was getting into...

Shogunzords – The ancient Zords uncovered on Zordnia by Finster. Although Zedd tried to utilise them for his own advantages, the rangers eventually gained control of the Zords, and proceeded to use the Zords against Lord Zedd. There are only 5 Zords, (no pink one) which can connect with the Ninja Falconzord, and also Titanus.
"Silly Rangers" – Alternative, and more appropriate name for the clay servants to Rita. They were named the Z Rangers as a mark of respect, and loyalty, but it is more of an embarrassment to the Nimians. They are the standard type of clay ranger, 4ft tall and virtually indestructible. They can lack intelligence, but if made well can prove loyal, hardworking and valuable team members.
Silvar – A legendary Titanian warrior, Silvar was Goldar’s father, and passed many of his skills to his son, and also trained his son to remain loyal to Aytiphon’s dynasty: now, Zedd is ruler of the Nimian Empire, and Goldar remains true to his father’s words by continuing to serve Lord Zedd.

Squatt – Short, blue alien from Myrgo, Venus. Oxygen caused spikes to shoot up across his body, and he has a brain the size of a peach pip. Although dim, he is a loyal supporter of Rita and her cause, but proves quite useless to the aliens’ cause.
Super Dragon – Tommy 1, Z Ranger’s, Power Source. Sword – Red Ranger’s Power weapon. It lays down the Axe barrel and over the bow in the Power Blaster.
Sword of Darkness – The Green Ranger’s beautifully crafted sword, key to the spell over Tommy. Once it was broken, the spell over Tommy faded.

He’s blue in colour, and has Great White Shark Power Source. time warp – An opening in the space-time continuum that can draw beings into it, and release them in a different place in time, or into another dimension. Certain time warps can even leave a being trapped in limbo or in other dimensional plains, as is the case with Zordon.
Titan – Moon of Saturn. Home moon of Goldar.
Titanus – The Ultrazord spirit, in form of the Ultrasauros. It mechanizes to become the carrier of the Dino, Ninja and Shogun Megazords.
Tom – Only White Z Ranger. A little nervous and a water phobic, and definitely not a valiant leader.
Tommy – Talented and sensitive teenager, chosen (by fate) by Rita to be the Green Ranger. He fell under her spells and performed her Evil bidding with cold efficiency. The Power Rangers broke the spell over him, and he joined their side. The Green Power Coin had originally been Lord Zedd’s – Rita’s overlord – so Rita desperately tried to retrieve this item. This lead to her last ditch attempt to strip Tommy of the Green Powers by using the Green Candle. This forced Tommy to give up his coin to Jason to prevent Rita retrieving his powers. Zordon later restored Tommy’s powers when he was needed to help the other rangers after they lost their power coins. His powers were unstable, and were prone to waning.
Upon Lord Zedd’s arrival, the Emperor aimed at Tommy as the Power Rangers’ weakest link. He eventually reclaimed his coin from Tommy, but had also announced that he wanted Tommy for his heir if he could be brought back to the Darkside.
After losing these powers, Tommy was reselected by Zordon to be the White Ranger. His White Tiger coin had a stable, good power source, invulnerable to Evil.
He is a fantastic and valiant warrior, and becomes a fantastic leader of the Power Team. He does not realise the truth of his reality, which explains much about why his Fate has turned out as it has.
Tommy 1 – First Green Z Ranger. A bit of a bighead, and madly in love with Kim 1. He tries to impress people, but usually ends up making a fool of himself.
Tommy 2 – Second Green Z Ranger. He’s a huge fan of the human TV show VR Troopers, and patterns his life after Ryan Steel, the show’s main character and his idol! Otherwise, he’s a wimp!
Tor – The Thunder Ultrazord spirit. It is a gigantic and powerful Tortoise-like creature.
Torture Chamber – Located in the laver barracks of the Lunar Palace, where traitors and disobedient servants are punished severely by the Emperor himself. There are severe devices of torture in here.

Tyrannosaurus – Red ranger’s Dinosaur power source. ‘King of the tyrant reptiles’.
Unicorn – Blue Ranger’s Thunder spirit that mechanizes to the Thunder Unicorn Zord.

Though he is quite enigmatic, and his youth is long past, his legacy of rivalry against Aytiphon in his younger years is well known. This burning hatred was carried to focus on Aytiphon’s son, Zedd. Perhaps he has more to do with Zedd’s tragic past than the Nimian realises...

Zedd, Lord – Son of Aytiphon. Zedd is Emperor over a large dominion. He heralds from Nim, and inherited much of his status from his father. Cold and callous, he does much in his own interests alone, and is built powerfully. His past accident with the Zeo Crystal left him majorly disfigured, and this leaves him to many disadvantages. Many say this accident only made him more cold-hearted than before. He has yet to find the one who coaxed him into getting the Zeo Crystal – and therefore injuring him almost fatally – and, as yet, has no heir to his kingdom. He is married to Rita Repulsa, one of his subordinates.
Zeo Crystal – Powerful precious stone, held in the Caves of Deception, on top of which the Lunar Palace was built. It harms, sometimes brutally, any being with Evil in them due to the special force field that now surrounds and protects it. It should be used solely for Good causes, for if Evil ever harnesses its powers, it could be disastrous! Notorious for its disfigurement of Lord Zedd of Nim, and also for its defacement of Dregon.

He is wise and just, and aids, supports and guides his Power Rangers to victory. He hails from Eltar, and a long line of Wizards and Witches.
Zords – Magical spirits that, once summoned, can mechanize into powerful fighting robots. These can then interlock and bring all their powers together into an awesome Megazord or Ultrazord, the ultimate fighting force!
