WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for Power Rangers #5 by Ryan Parrott, Francesco Mortarino, Simona Di Gianfelice, Raul Angulo, Jose Enrique Fernandez, and Ed Dukeshire, on sale now.

Since leaving Earth to become the Omega Rangers, Jason, Zack and Trini have been pushing themselves to places they've never been and over lines they never thought they would cross, all in an effort to prevent the impending Empyreal invasion. They've betrayed their former teammates and taking off with the twisted, tyrannical version of the Green Ranger known as Lord Drakkon.

This twisted version of Tommy Oliver has always been a dark reflection of one of the greatest Rangers of all time, but he only just now has he revealed just what it is that separates him from his better self in Power Rangers #5.

After escaping Drakkon's former prison world, the Omega Rangers are finally able to get a bearing on where they need to go next. With the ship in desperate need of repair, Drakkon leads the Omega Rangers to the planet Onyx, a desolate desert world teeming with outlaws who all share a seething hatred for the Power Rangers. Jason and Zack are tasked with going into town and finding the parts they need for the ship, leaving Drakkon and Trini to handle the repairs they're able to make on their own.

While toiling away at the ship, Trini asks Drakkon some pointed questions, mostly in regard to why he would try to conquer all of reality after eliminating his enemies as well as having his own perfect world to lord over. Drakkon can't give a simple answer, so he tells Trini a story from his time spent living on the streets. He says that being homeless is to never sleep, which left him exhausted on his third night being alone. He met a homeless woman who seemed genuinely kind, and the two of them made a pact to watch over one another while they rested. The woman took the first watch, as well as everything of value Drakkon had at the time while he slept. This instilled in him a deep distrust of anyone and everyone, as well as a need to continue amassing power before it would all be taken from him. It's a relatively deep bit of insight into who Drakkon is as a person. It's also an excuse that Trini is not buying.

Trini knows that Drakkon and the Tommy of her world share almost identical histories, and she confronts Drakkon with the fact that whatever he lived through did not twist her friend into a tyrannical despot. Trini wonders aloud whether or not Tommy is just a better person than Drakkon after the villain describes himself as "literally what [Tommy] is capable of," which he laughs off as typical moral superiority on the part of a Power Ranger.

Drakkon's tale was certainly not the inciting incident that led him down the dark path he eventually traveled, though that doesn't mean its impact wasn't part of that transformation. He is also right that the lines between good and evil have been growing more and more gradient for the Power Ragngers, especially considering that the Omegas themselves are intergalactic fugitives at the moment. Even if it isn't the whole story, the implication that such small events can snowball into absolute horror for any Power Ranger is a dark bit of foreshadowing for the team that has already become the villains of someone else's story.
