With the release of Power Rangers Dino Fury, audiences have enjoyed nearly 30 seasons of Powers Rangers television. Just about every Power Rangers team across all those series featured a Pink Ranger. The women beneath those pink helmets have filled many roles on their respective teams, from resident genius to paramedic, to leader.
Kimberly Hart was the first to don the Pink Ranger uniform, and like her fellow Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, she's considered one of the most beloved Rangers of all time. But Kimberly was succeeded by some pretty extraordinary Rangers. Some future Pink Rangers led their teams, wielded new powers, or sacrificed their lives to protect the galaxy.
10 Katherine Hillard Was A Pink Ranger Across Three Teams
All the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers eventually left the franchise. Kimberly was the second last original Ranger to leave, ahead of Billy Cranston. Kimberly chose Katherine Hillard as her replacement. Katherine entered the series as an antagonist. Much like Tommy, she was controlled by Rita Repulsa to spy on the Rangers.
There are certainly more interesting Pink Rangers than Katherine, but she's a memorable Ranger because of her time with the team. Katherine has been a Mighty Morphin Ranger, a Zeo Ranger, and a Turbo Ranger. As far as Ranger résumés go, she has one of the longest.
9 Emma Goodall Possesses The Powers Of All Past Pink Rangers
Emma Goodall is one of the most kind-hearted, positive Rangers in the entire franchise. She's known for always having a smile on her face, even in the face of danger. Emma acted as the Pink Ranger in both the Megaforce and Super Megaforce TV series.
Like all Super Megaforce Rangers, Emma can access all the powers of past Rangers who shared her color. For example, Emma can summon Kimberly Hart's Power Bow or Jen Scotts's Chrono Saber, making her, like her teammates, one of the most powerful Rangers of all time.
8 Dana Mitchell Experienced Some Family Drama On Lightspeed
Dana Mitchell was the Pink Lightspeed Rescue Ranger and the daughter of Captain Mitchell, the man who organized the team. Dana was in charge of recruiting the rest of the Ranger team. Her father then surprised her by making Dana the fifth member.
The Lightspeed Rangers were all chosen because of their skills and professions. Dana was a paramedic before becoming a Ranger. Her brother, Ryan, reappeared in the series as the Titanium Ranger. Dana was caught in the middle of a lot of commonly experienced family drama that involved betrayals, lies, and deals with the devil.
7 Sydney Drew Experiences Tremendous Character Growth
At the beginning of Power Rangers S.P.D., Sydney was a pretty shallow character who seemed to be focused solely on her own wealth and appearance. As the series progressed, Sydney's character deepened. Many of the S.P.D. Rangers underwent great character developments. Sydney learned to care about others more than herself.
Sydney is unique from other Pink Rangers because of her genetic power. Sydney can alter her molecules to mimic substances like iron or gold. Even unmorphed, she can punch with unbreakable fists after turning them to metal.
6 Kimberly Hart, The First Pink Ranger
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers remain the most popular Rangers team in pop culture, mostly because they were the first iteration. Their legacy lives on in film adaptations and new BOOM! Studios comics. Kimberly isn't the best Pink Ranger, but she paved the way for the Pink Rangers who followed.
Kimberly was an exceptionally skilled gymnast, which helped her on the battlefield. She also became a skilled martial artist, fighting multiple Turbo Rangers at once while mind-controlled... and she wasn't even morphed. She was always concerned about her teammates and always stood up for them, frequently throwing insults right back at Bulk and Skull.
5 Rose Ortiz Is One Of The Most Intelligent Rangers Ever
The Power Rangers frequently deal with a lot of alien technology and futuristic devices. Every Rangers team needs a resident genius and Rose Ortiz fills that role perfectly for the Operation Overdrive Rangers. Rose is considered one of the most intelligent Rangers in the franchise. She possesses a deep knowledge of scientific technology, history, and ancient artifacts.
Aside from her advanced intellect, Rose's altered DNA allows her to turn invisible. Rose is very confident in her abilities. This could be considered a character flaw... if she was ever incorrect, but her intellect and optimism ensure that she makes the right decisions for the right reasons.
4 Karone/Astronema Turned Over A New Leaf
Karone has one of the best comeback stories in all of Power Rangers. As the United Alliance of Evil celebrates the destruction of the Turbo Rangers, Astronema announces that she is Dark Specter's Princess of Evil. Astronema was the main villain of the Power Rangers in Space TV series. She is also the long-lost sister of Andros, the Red Ranger.
Andros risks his life to pry Astronema from evil. After Andros destroys Zordon's tube, Astronema is transformed back into Karone. She flies with the Space Rangers before being selected to replace Kendrix as the new Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger. Karone even returns for the Super Megaforce "Legendary Battle" crossover.
3 Cassie Chan Helped Inspire Earth & Save The Universe
In the Power Rangers Turbo episode "Passing the Torch," the original Turbo Rangers, save for Justin, felt the need to move on with their lives. They chose a new team of Rangers to replace them. Cassie Chan was chosen to become the new Pink Ranger after she and T.J. proved their loyalty and fearlessness while saving Tommy's life.
Cassie, like her new Turbo teammates, would go on to become a Space Ranger. She helped defend the Earth during Astronema's invasion in "Countdown to Destruction," considered one of the best episodes of the franchise, and helped the Lost Galaxy Rangers defeat the Psycho Rangers.
2 Kendrix Morgan Made The Ultimate Sacrifice In Lost Galaxy
Kendrix is the resident science whiz of the Lost Galaxy team, acting as a science officer aboard the Terra Venture space station. Before she can fulfill her official duties, she proves her compassion and heroism by charging to defend an alien world. Kendrix is one of five individuals worthy enough to pull the Quasar sabers from their stones. It was a real "King Arthur" kind of moment.
What made Kendrix stand out from the Pink Rangers that came before or after was her ultimate sacrifice. In one of the best crossover episodes of the franchise, "The Power of Pink," Kendrix defeated Psycho Pink and destroyed the Savage Sword at the cost of her own life.
1 Jen Scotts Led The Time Force Rangers
After murdering Alex, the Red Time Force Ranger, in the year 3000, Ransik travels back to 2001 to take over a world without the Time Force. Jen Scotts, Alex's fiancée, leads her team to the past to capture Ransik and bring him back to the future.
Jen is confident, determined, and a little hard-headed. She has a personal investment, or rather a personal vendetta, in the main villain which makes her dangerous. Jen's judgment is clouded by vengeance, best displayed in the episode "Jen's Revenge." Jen is famously the first and only Pink Ranger to lead a Power Rangers team and one of the best leaders in the entire franchise.
