With almost 26 seasons of Power Rangers to go by, it's time someone pit them all against each other in a bid to see which team was the strongest!

Despite some roadblocks along with the way, the Power Rangers franchise has essentially been going non-stop since its premiere in 1993.

From meteoric, literally-highway-stopping popularity to middling-out, descending to near-cancellation and then returning to the bring, the multi-colored superhero teams of the Power Rangers universe continue to scratch the itch of martial arts, explosions, people in rubber monster suits and giant, combining robots for fans of all ages.

With so many rangers to choose from, and the series’ 26th season, Beast Morphers, around the corner, has the question of which team would reign supreme ever occurred to you?

For us, it has, and we’ve decided to rank each and every assemblage of the Power Rangers to prove which ones are actually worthy of the word “power” in their title, and which ones are better off being known as “powerless.”

For our list of Every Power Rangers Team Ranked From Weakest To Strongest, we’re taking everything into consideration: their civilian skillets, powers, tactics, arsenals, and what they’re up against.

Also, for the sake of clarity, we’re combining multi-season shows into one entry, meaning that Mighty Morphin’s three seasons or the “Super” variants of Samurai, Megaforce and beyond will all be considered one.

With all that said, let the Power protect us all as we start with the weakest team and work our way up to the ultimate Power Rangers, worthy of a spot in the legends next to Zordon himself.

20 Super/Dino Charge

Taking the bottom spot on our list, Dino Charge and its “Super” extension are arguably the weakest of the bunch for a variety of reasons, namely the difficulty in defeating their rather dull foes.

Despite the ranger’s powers stemming from the “greatest power in the universe,” the Energems, you’d be hard-pressed to believe that was the case.

This is likely, considering that their main adversaries are Sledge, a bounty hunter with a ship full of criminals, and Heckyl, a rather wily criminal from the same gang.

Where other ranger teams found themselves up against impossible odds, legions of demons, or intergalactic sorcerers, the Dino Charge rangers have trouble with law-breakers, bounty-hunters and criminals.

In what’s clearly a case of a bark being worse than a a bite, the so-called “greatest power in the universe” must not be that great after all.

19 Super/ Ninja Steel

The Ninja Steel rangers are tasked with proctecting the Ninja Nexus Prism, which contains the “legendary Ninja Power Stars.”

These Power Stars are not the ones with eyeballs from Super Mario 64, but rather the source of the Ninja Steel team’s powers.

Not unlike the so-called “greatest power in the universe” that the Dino Charge rangers wielded, this team of ninja are quite low on this list since their powers generally don’t overwhelm any of their peers.

In terms of villainy, the team is forced to participate against contestants from an intergalactic, combat-focused game show, and then Madame Odius upon her return.

However, these foes are just regular chumps from across the cosmos.

Despite this, these villains still manage to give the Ninja Steel rangers trouble.

18 Operation Overdrive

Operation Overdrive, aside from its fairly well-liked anniversary episode, “Once A Ranger”, is not exactly beloved among fans, thanks to shoddy acting, writing and execution.

Despite this, the ranger designs, the weapons and the Zords are actually quite and cool.

It’s a shame then, that their powers and purpose are considerably weak when looked at objectively.

Operation Overdrive has a great collection of varied villains, such as evil brothers and treasure hunters, but the extent of their power levels is suspect.

While the rangers do save the day, the threat of the villains on their own (without the aid of the powerful crown and jewels McGuffins) are fairly harmless yet still manage to give these well-armed rangers a run for their money, which is an embarrassing display.

17 Jungle Fury

Jungle Fury is one of the stranger series in the Power Rangers stable: it features sunglasses being used as morphers, lots of pizza, and a little fly referee that acts as an announcer during Megazord battles. Those aren’t reasons that Jungle Fury is so low on the power scale, though.

The truth is, despite their kung-fu training, the adversary the Rangers are forced to deal with, Dai Shi, while aesthetically intimidating, isn’t exactly a threat to the world.

His goal of ruling the Earth with an army of beasts is similar to other villains, but he is defeated by a team of up-and-coming rangers being trained by a pothead. If that isn’t evidence to a lack of power for both the team and villain, we’re not sure what is.

16 Ninja Storm

While Power Rangers Ninja Storm is a popular series with some great humor and action, these Power Rangers themselves are rather weak when compared to others in the series’ long history.

One bright spot is that the rangers were actually trained to be ninja, bringing their basic combat abilities above many of their peers. This is only amplified by the power of their morphers and Zords but, like the Dino Charge rangers, their foes are really nothing to bat an eyelash at.

Sure, the exiled ninja Lothor is deliciously entertaining, but he’s not an underworld god or apocalyptic computer virus.

Also, the rangers still had a tremendously difficult time dealing with him and his gang.

Again, this is a great season, and we’re not knocking it for quality, but the "wind rangers" just don’t measure up to their peers in terms of power.

15 Dino Thunder

Dino Thunder is one of the best seasons of the franchise, and it even brought back the fan-favorite Tommy Oliver as a mentor (and ranger) to a new group of teenagers who found themselves becoming the multi-colored superheroes due to twist of fate and the meteor that killed the dinosaurs.

Likewise, this season’s villain is also incredibly well-liked. Mesogog, a bio-tech mutant who wants to revert the world to the age of the dinosaurs, going so far as to fight the rangers personally.

The rangers themselves are formidable enough (including civilian super-powers), but they barely had enough of an arsenal (or adequate training) to save the planet without sacrificing the very core of their powers, and they never display a strength that proves they’d be able to go toe-to-toe with the best of the best.

14 Super / Megaforce

The horribly named “Super Megaforce” rangers are the absolute worst in terms of Power Rangers quality.

Universally reviled by fans due to non-actors being asked to deliver some of the most putrid writing in the entire franchise, there is also the matter of misusing the powers that many fans looked forward to: The Ranger Keys.

The Keys allowed the team to use the powers of any past ranger from the franchise, acquiring their weapons and costumes.

Despite this wealth of extraordinary potential, the rangers squandered most of these abilities against the overwhelming forces of the invading “Armada.”

Armada is a threat that needed the entirety of the Power Rangers franchise to help them defeat, despite already having all of their powers at their fingertips.

Their lack of skill should stick them at the bottom of the list, but the potential of accessing every ranger power keeps them at rank 14.

13 Super / Samurai

What elevates Power Rangers Samurai (and it’s “Super” follow-up) from its Neo-Saban peers is that this generation of Power Rangers is up against a deadly force of demonic entities and spirits in a war that has literally lasted for generations.

They’ve been bred and trained to handle this feud should it rear its ugly head, and have dutifully prepared for it.

When the time does come, and the enemies of old re-emerge from the underworld into that of the surface, the Samurai rangers are ready and willing to stop the threat.

While their impressive tech and training, along with their otherworldly foes, have earned them this relatively-middling place on our list, make no mistake that Power Rangers Samurai is one of the worst seasons in the franchise, so just take our word on their placement rather than investigate for yourself.

12 SPD

SPD may take place in the future, and may have given excellent training to each and every one of its members, along with the most advanced technology of its time, but we never get a real chance to gauge what most of this means in a meaningful context.

The main adversaries of Space Patrol Delta are alien criminals and their mechs.

While they’re powerful in their own right, SPD is a police force and is never exactly pushed to the breaking point in either skill or technology.

The most powerful test of their abilities wasn’t even against the series’ main villain, but rather the A-Squad, a team of traitorous rangers wielding SPD-designed heavy armor and weapons.

So while it’s unquestionable that their available tech and training make the SPD rangers superior to a large chunk of teams, we’ve never seen them reach their true potential.

11 Alien Rangers

The Alien Rangers are a bit of a strange bunch since they were the first real hint at the scope of the show’s universe, and since the concept of “Power Rangers” wasn’t something native to just a single planet or person.

During the third season of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, these Aquitians filled in for Earth’s original team when they were turned into children, and, in terms of power, they appeared to at least be equal to Zordon’s team.

With a unique selection of powers and Zords, this team was able to adequately fill in the gap left by Earth’s out-of-commision forces, proving that they were exceptional in their right, and a team to be reckoned with, particularly when considering how dangerous Rita, Zedd and Master Vile were.

10 Wild Force

Wild Force is a rather surreal experience with bizarre acting, writing, and antics. Simultaneously, it has one of the best, most relatable villains in the form of the Orgs and their ruler, Master Org.

Borne from the poisons humanity pours into the Earth, the Orgs and the once-human Master Org attempt to punish the world for their sins, with the Wild Force rangers being the only team able to stop them.

Master Org is extremely powerful, and isn’t afraid to prove it directly to the rangers. Thankfully, the Wild Force team is well-prepared for the threat with a mystical, animal-based source of power.

While they don’t do anything out of the ordinary in terms of training, their animal-like tactics are impressive.

They were able to overcome the threat of the Orgs and their Master, proving that the Wild Force rangers are a force to be reckoned with.

9 Turbo

Turbo is an oddity. According to Zordon and the rangers, the Turbo powers are greater than those of the Zeo Crystal, but when we observe what the Turbo rangers are up against, and how they deal with it, a lot of questions come to mind.

Divatox doesn’t seem like she rivals Rita, Zedd, or the Machine Empire, nor does she seem to have the resources to wage a large-scale war, with most of her forces posing little-to-no threat to the Rangers.

If the powers were as advanced as claimed, shouldn’t she have been swiftly defeated?

To top things off, the Ranger’s suffered their worst defeat in history, the destruction of the Power Chamber, while wielding these powers so, while certainly comparable to Zeo, they obviously aren’t as great as they were hyped up to be.

8 In Space

The Space Power Rangers had the rawest deal of any team in the entire franchise: every villain in the cosmos allied themselves with the evil god, Dark Spector.

Together, they kidnapped Zordon and launched a galaxy-wide attack in a bid to fully take over.

Despite this, the Space Rangers fought on. Not unlike the Alien Rangers, the Space Rangers seemed to be of equivalent power levels to their nearest peers, the Turbo and Zeo teams, but had far less equipment and support.

They deserve tremendous credit for their resourcefulness, as they were able to lead successful guerrilla attacks against the combined forces of evil, but, if we’re being objective, this does not make them the “most powerful.”

In truth, the only reason why they were able to achieve due to the help of other forces of good, and Zordon sacrificing himself to wipe out evil entirely.

7 Lost Galaxy

In Lost Galaxy, the major threat is that of a bug-like emperor, his daughter, and his associates, seeking legendary powers.

While these villains managed to do some major damage by the end of the series, they’re fairly blasé when compared with the pantheon of other Power Rangers villains.

That doesn’t mean that the rangers who stood against them are weak, however.

Considering that the source of their powers are ancient, sacred sabers, or that they have to access to enormous, animal gods that can transform to Zords at will, or that they eventually use the ultra-powerful and legendary Lights of Orion to bolster their strength, it’s safe to say that, despite the somewhat underwhelming threat, the Lost Galaxy rangers are a force to be reckoned with.

6 RPM

In Power Rangers RPM, the world has been ravaged by implied nuclear warfare, and the seemingly endless robotic forces of Venjix, a diabolical, artificially-intelligent super virus, who wages war against humanity’s last survivors in the city of Corinth.

Despite the crushing odds against their favor, the RPM rangers defend Corinth diligently and successfully.

Using weapons and technology designed by Dr. K, the team is always preparing new methods to use against Venjix, both for defending the city and wiping out the virus once and for all.

Perhaps most impressively, Venjix is equally adaptable, creating attack bots and servants that match whatever growth in power the RPM team manages to achieve.

Because of the constant power struggle and bleak odds, with the eventual victory to follow, RPM safely has a spot in the upper ranks of this list, proving the power of a well-honed team coupled with human innovation.

5 Mystic Force

While many Power Ranger teams were borne of magic or featured magic melded with tech, the Mystic Force rangers were easily the most magically charged of the franchise, even directly casting spells for various attacks and techniques.

This alone is reason enough to put them on the upper half of the list, as the sheer options available to them along with the unknown limits of their magic make for a formidable force.

Perhaps an even better idea of just how formidable they were can be gained from the forces the villains of their series: the literal Forces of Darkness.

Comprised of dangerously proficient magic users, fallen sorcerers, demons and even something comparable to a god, for the Rangers to come out on top against odds like these, they must have been devastatingly powerful.

4 Lightspeed Rescue

The Lightspeed Rangers, as a team, were formed from real-life professionals (like pilots and firefighters) and given the best technology modern day mankind had the ability to offer.

Yet, instead of fighting a man-made threat, they were plunged into a war with ancient, supernatural demons and magic-- and they still came out on top.

With a base filled to the brim with dedicated support personnel and scientists, the Lightspeed Rangers had their options and arsenals constantly upgraded to deal with a threat that was not easily predictable nor scientifically digestible.

This team and their leaders require major respect for using human ingenuity and innovation to defend the planet from a threat no one could adequately prepare for.

They did that with flying colors-- and giant train Megazords.

3 Time Force

Sure, the Time Force only battles against powerful mutants, robots, and other criminals from the future, which isn’t that impressive when compared to other threat levels on this list, but its their namesake which grants them the second spot on this list: Time.

Hailing from the year 3000, their available technology almost assuredly outmatches any of the other man-made ranger powers in existence, as does their military-like training.

However, most importantly, their ability to travel through time is what sets them apart.

Theoretically, if they broke their oath about ethical time travel, nearly any adversary they came up against could be thwarted before they ever rose to prominence.

This would, obviously, threaten the time space continuum, so we guess we’re lucky that Time Force still has some morals to go with their advanced technology.

2 Mighty Morphin'

When looking back at the three seasons that comprised Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, we had a group of incredible team players with tremendous experience fighting monsters.

They went up against the witch Rita Repulsa, the head of an evil empire, Lord Zedd, and even Rita’s father, Master Vile, all villains who had enormous armies, resources and raw, magical power, yet they were met head-on by teenagers with attitude.

As some of the most skilled fighters in the franchise, the MMPR team would jump headfirst into hand-to-hand combat.

They had a slew of ever-developing and exponentially more powerful Zords and weapons to summon if the battle called for it.

Best of all, if the rangers were forced to retreat, their tremendous resourcefulness would kick in, as they worked together to develop a solution, innovate new technology, or grab a long lost artifact, creating a strength where there was once a weakness.

1 Zeo

Using the Zeo Crystal, the MMPR team was “powered up for more,” yet remained “rangers at the core.”

With their powers pushed to the very limits, they were up against the Machine Empire, a threat that made even Lord Zedd quiver in his boots.

Nevertheless, the Empire fell to the rangers.

The Zeo powers were complete with an expansive arsenal of weaponry and Zords, which were deployed from a command center that was no longer a cheesy set but an entire subterranean complex with multiple hangers and launch systems.

More important than the Zords or the ascended strength of the Rangers, though, this team was comprised of veterans who had years of experience in the world of monster fighting.

This is a team that was forged, not born by luck or chance. This is the height of power mixed with the wisdom of experience.
