This article is about an item in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. |
- "It’s Mutant Time!"
- ―Morphing call
- "There can only be one explanation. Rita has employed the Badges of Darkness, powerful pseudo morphin devices. Rita has used them to transform Putties into evil mirror images of yourselves."
- ―Zordon explaining the Badges of Darkness to the Power Rangers.[src]
The Badge of Darkness was a "pseudo morphing device" used by the Evil Space Aliens that appeared exclusively in the penultimate episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1, "Mighty Morphin Mutants".
History[]
Rita had Goldar retrieve the Badges of Darkness and planned to give them to six Putty Patrollers to become her own team of Rangers. After training six Putties, Goldar only gave out five of the badges. Finding the last Putty lacking the ability to fight like a Power Ranger, Goldar reverted it back to clay for Finster to use and crushed the sixth badge saying that no one was worthy of the red powers. The would-be Red Mutant Ranger's position was instead filled by Commander Crayfish who Finster created. The rest of the Badges of Darkness were destroyed with their respective owners.
Notes[]
- The Badges of Darkness have no Zyuranger counterparts due to coming from Zyu2 footage.
- It is unclear if the Badge of Darkness possessed any legitimate link to the Morphin Grid, or if its powers were simply made to imitate the actual Power Morphers.
- It is also unclear how the Badge of Darkness differs from Rita's previous imitation Rangers last seen in A Bad Reflection on You beyond the difference in produced uniform and the addition of a Green Ranger.
