Mighty Morphin #22 is the twenty-second and final issue of the Boom! Studios comic book series, Mighty Morphin.

This is the ninth issue in the Charge To 100 story event leading up to the 100th issue of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics at Boom! Studios. It features the first appearance of the Pink Emissary.

Synopsis[]

A RANGER RETURNS! With their help, the team can finally turn the tide of battle, but not without consequences. Will the Rangers forge a new path together despite their differences? Meanwhile, Kim receives some much-needed perspective from a fellow Ranger, offering her a glimpse of hope for the future. As the dust begins to settle, will this Mighty Morphin team settle on a sense of identity, and discover their true role in the universe?[1]

Plot[]

The distortion caused by the unstable Morphin Grid causes manifestations of future Power Ranger villains to appear in the now corrupted pocket dimension.

Tommy is struck down by the Ransik doppelgänger, who relishes at the thought of killing another Ranger. Kimberly rescues her de-morphed and unconscious lover and hides, worried he is dead until she reads a pulse. A voice reassured her that the “impressive” Metallic Armor Billy developed was the only reason Tommy is still alive.

Kimberly turns around to see a Pink Emissary appear, confused as there should be only three Emissaries. Pink states they exist beyond what is known to handle specific threats to the Grid such as what is transpiring in the pocket dimension. Kimberly apologizes, she was afraid and she pushed Billy to use the untested Metallic Armor and it has broken the Grid. Pink does agree that the prototype Armor damaged the Grid, but Kimberly’s fear of the future attracted the malicious Dark Grid shadows that are echoes of future events. Kimberly asks why shouldn’t she be afraid, explaining to Pink that there was a timeline where Tommy was killed and the Power Rangers will have to be replaced with new Rangers. Pink thinks that while Kimberly has a bit of knowledge of The Shattering, she also has misconceptions about the details. Unlike their peers, Pink apologizes for erasing their memories and feels that concealing the memories of the events caused more calamity rather than safeguarding the Grid. Kimberly gets her memories restored, she remembers interacting with Jen and that she will not be replaced, but established a legacy of heroines yet to be with causes of justice all their own. She feels so stupid for messing up, but Pink thinks that all living beings make mistakes but now she is closer to the Pink spectrum of the Morphin Grid than ever before and can call upon her legacy to defeat the shadows and stabilize the Grid. Kimberly says she cannot do it alone as the Pink Emissary departs.

Kimberly returns to the battlefield with the spectral villains mocking her for trying to stop them and thinking she has come to die. Kimberly says that she was afraid at first of the future but now she accepts and knows that the best is yet to come, releasing a massive burst of pink Grid energy to summon the spirits of her Pink Ranger successors to aid her as they all morph.

The Pink Dino Charge Ranger takes down the Sledge shadow with help from the Lightspeed and Turbo Pink Rangers. Dai Shi’s shadow is overwhelmed by the Ninja Steel, Samurai and Operation Overdrive Pinks while Void Queen struggles to shield herself from the Megaforce, Pink Mystic Force and Dino Fury Pinks. Trakeena is baffled to see both Kendrix and Karone simultaneously teaming up as the Lost Galaxy Pinks with Cassie as the Pink Space Ranger backing them up. Kimberly gets her revenge on the Ransik shadow for hurting Tommy by teaming up with Jen again in spirit alongside Hyperforce Pink and S.P.D. Pink to blast him with their sidearms and Kimberly’s Power Bow.

On her command, Kimberly orders the Pink Team to finish off the shadows, blasting them in a devastating barrage of blaster fire, magic and sword beam attacks. The evil shadows are destroyed and disappear and Kimberly thanks all of the Pink Rangers for their help, with Jen waving goodbye as she fades away. Kimberly hopes someday she can meet all her successors for real again. The Grid stabilizes and the pocket dimension returns to normal, with a panicked Billy shouting over the comms if Tommy and Kimberly are already, rushing inside to get the former to the the Command Center’s infirmary.

As they rest Tommy on the bed, Billy wants to apologize for the fault in the Metallic Armor but Kimberly stops him and says she is to blame for pushing him to get it ready and both agree that the development of the Armor should be left to Alpha 5 and Zordon from now on. Tommy wakes up and Billy is relieved, believing that despite its flawed alpha test, the Metallic Armor’s durability saved Tommy from a fatal blow. Tommy asks if he can just lie in bed for now given his injuries, to which Billy thinks that is fair.

Kimberly decides to go outside and get some air, but not before Billy asks what happened when he lost contact with them. Kimberly says that she was gifted “some much needed perspective” and exits the Command Center.

As the sun sets, Tommy recovers enough to come out and talk with Kimberly. She apologizes for almost getting him killed but he says that there were variables that caused his injuries that were not her fault and he senses that she is hurting somehow. Kimberly confesses that she was afraid of the future after discovering some things, it reminded her of her parents divorce and how she felt like she was losing everything and it is hard to imagine sometimes that change and loss can feel the same sometimes but they really are not.

She tells her boyfriend about her successors appearing and how cool they were and that it got her thinking about the fact that change can have joyous moments that cannot come from loss. Tommy thinks that if new Rangers come eventually, they will eventually step down from their roles as heroes. Kimberly is weighing the option, she obsessively concerned herself about keeping her friends and family safe that it never occurred to her that she could leave or any other possibility. She will not leave the team for now, but hopes Tommy can come with her when she decides to retire from her role as a Ranger and maybe go somewhere fun as a couple.

Tommy says he loves being a Ranger and that there isn’t a possibility that he can resign because it would prove disastrous to the team because he’s afraid of becoming like Drakkon if he doesn’t have his friends by his side. Kimberly knows that she can’t change his mind about it, but she tries to reassure him that he will never be like Drakkon and being a Ranger suits him. Tommy worries what this means for their relationship, but she says she doesn’t know right now but today taught her not to fret about tomorrow and live in the moment, kissing Tommy.

The two go back into the Command Center and see that upon hearing that future teams of Rangers will exist someday as well as the Omegas and “some Rangers from Space”, Rocky has decided to do a brainstorm session with the team on their name since they are no longer just THE Power Rangers. Adam thinks that not all the names on the whiteboard are winners, but Kimberly says that she doesn’t care anymore about her “little crisis”, what matters is that they are helping people in their time as heroes and that is good enough for her.

Kimberly encourages everyone to call it a day and just hang out with her friends at the Youth Center with some fresh juice to enjoy. Alpha 5 waves goodbye as the comic ends with a close up of the whiteboard, focusing on two vertically positioned words “Mighty” and “Morphenominal” (spelled incorrectly with an “i” by Rocky) and Alpha’s hand blocking half of the latter word to make it: “Mighty Morphin”.
