The Power Rangers franchise is filled to the brim with characters that have become fan favorites over time. Though they tend to rank lower than most of the other colors, typically due to a lack of storylines, Yellow Rangers have always been strong characters with an emphasis on teamwork.
Having appeared in every season except Dino Charge and Dino Fury, Yellow Rangers are a diverse group of powerful fighters, leaders, and overall cool characters. Out of all Yellow Rangers, only those that spent more time as a Yellow Ranger than another color are considered to be true Yellow Rangers, so while Jason spent time as a Yellow Ranger, he is not an option for the best, even if he is the best Red Ranger.
10 Jack Thomas Is An Older Ranger And Confidant
While not every Power Rangers fan knows about the exploits of Jack Thomas, as he is a part of the Hyperforce team, most will know his actor, Paul Schrier, who also plays Bulk. Jack was immediately taken to by fans of the series thanks to his calm demeanor, charm, and wit.
Jack occupies an interesting spot on the team, being an older member compared to the rest of the Rangers and being a former cop. Jack is also different from his fellow Yellows due to his suit being bulkier and larger than the others.
9 Katie Walker Is Literally The Strongest Yellow Ranger
As one of the physically strongest Yellow Rangers, if not the strongest overall, Katie Walker regularly charts among fan-favorite characters due to her big heart and bigger brawn. Throughout Time Force, she is proven to be the literal strongest member of the team in and out of her suit, even able to lift large pieces of debris.
In addition to her strength, Katie routinely shows love and affection for her teammates, especially Green Time Force Ranger Trip, whom she often hugged and kissed playfully. While she didn’t receive as much screen time as Jen and Wes, Katie easily made a name for herself with the fanbase.
8 Elizabeth Z Delgado Went From Criminal To Cop To Help People
Beginning her life on the streets as a child, Z turned to a life of crime to help the homeless population of the city. Being born with the power to multiply herself, she’d steal food, clothes, and medicine before eventually being caught alongside future Red Ranger Jack by the SPD B-Squad members.
Unlike her cohort Jack, Z immediately jumped at the chance to join the SPD Rangers, hoping to bring about a positive change to the city. She also later helps the child version of SPD Omega Ranger Sam after he is bullied for his genetic powers, an experience she went through as a child as well.
7 Kira Ford Was The Epitome Of Teenager With Attitude
Kira Ford is a grunge queen that was instantly relatable for viewers of all ages during her introduction in Dino Thunder. She perfectly fits the “teenagers with attitude” vibe that the show tried to achieve whenever the cast was made of younger members.
As a Ranger, Kira proved herself both capable and powerful. Her Ptera Scream is a weapon unparalleled by any other ranger’s inherent power outside the suit in terms of defense, offense, and utility. While she didn’t receive nearly enough solo time, her focus episodes always had fans hooked.
6 Dustin Brooks Is The Lovable Comic Book Nerd Ranger
As the first core team male Yellow Ranger, as Alien Rangers are considered secondary Rangers, Dustin Brooks was the first Power Ranger to be a Power Ranger fanboy. As the comic book nerd of the group, Dustin even leads the Rangers in their first morph, correctly being able to demonstrate the Ranger Call for his team.
Dustin also serves as a powerful member of the team, even if he is consciously less intelligent than those around him. He has a big heart and fills a lot of nerdy fans’ positions in seeing themselves on screen.
5 Summer Landsdown Had The Most Growth Of Any Yellow Ranger
Played by Rose McIver, who has gone on to star in several major geek properties like iZombie and Ghosts, Summer Landsdown is the Yellow Ranger of the post-apocalyptical RPM season. With the most amount of on-screen character growth, going from a selfish rich girl to a helpful and passionate defender of humanity, Summer, time and again, proved herself to be a great asset.
As a result of her growth and strengths, she also leads her fellow rangers, especially Dillon, through their own journeys, making herself a great character that anyone can look up to.
4 Taylor Earhardt Led Her Team
The first-ever Yellow Ranger to lead a team, Taylor Earhardt was the Yellow Ranger of the Wild Force team. Starting from a young age, Taylor had a connection with the Animarium, the floating island base of the Rangers, before eventually arriving at it during a mission with the Air Force. Additionally, for a time, she served as the only Ranger before more team members joined.
Taylor is an incredibly notable and respected Ranger among all previous Rangers due to her leadership skills, military history, and dedicated rivalry with a powerful foe. She even created a Ranger Rulebook to help guide the future Rangers, which not even Tommy did.
3 Gia Moran Is A Strong Fighter And Has All The Powers
Becoming more of a fan-favorite character after her show aired, Gia Moran has appeared as a main face for Power Rangers content outside the main universe more frequently than any other Yellow Ranger. This includes her time recruiting the Street Fighter characters Ryu and Chin-Li.
In her series Megaforce and Super Megaforce, Gia proves herself to be a competent fighter, strategist, and leader when necessary. If given the chance, Gia would have been a better overall leader for her team over Troy. Her fan-favorite status and high tier of power have kept her making deserved appearances since the end of her series.
2 Tanya Sloan Set Herself Apart From Her Predecessors
Appearing as the Yellow Ranger in both Zeo and Turbo, Tanya was the replacement for Aisha Taylor, the former Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger. In many ways, Tanya was the first child to become a Power Ranger as she was aged up to teenhood thanks to the reversal of Master Vile’s tampering.
Her time on both teams was packed with strong storylines and character development, bringing her from the new girl of the team to a powerhouse in a few short years. She also started an interesting tradition of Rangers wanting to be singers which would be seen by several Rangers including Kira.
1 Trini Kwan Was The First And Best Yellow Ranger
The first Yellow Ranger ever, Trini was one of the first teens to be chosen to take up the Ranger mantle before eventually leaving to help the world on a larger scale. Notably not turning away from Zordon like other teammates when offered the position, Trini would go on to prove herself as one of the best rangers on the team.
In the comics, Trini lasted years as a Ranger, eventually becoming the Yellow Omega Ranger and taking on threats that most Rangers couldn’t dream of. She has led teams, saved countless lives, and shown herself to be compassionate and caring to everyone around her. Even her alternate universe selves, in the World of the Coinless and 2017 Power Rangers, prove that Trini is an amazing character.
