Nimrod the Scarlet Sentinel was a fist and lightning themed monster that appeared in the Go Go Power Rangers comics line by Boom! Studios.
History[]
Nimrod appeared in the two-part comics equivalent of the iconic "White Light" episode. Whilst Zack and Trini confronted Jason for breaking into the Command Center with the Blue Emissary, Lord Zedd put his latest plan into action.
She is first seen being created from the Sentinel Statue in Angel Grove Park and is tasked with fighting and destroying the Power Rangers. Deciding that waiting for the Viewing Globe would waste too much time, Nimrod decided to draw them out by starting to blow up the park and they arrived so on time that she was able to perform a countdown to the second although she was a second off. She offhandedly welcomed them whilst complaining about them taking so long before summoning an energy ball and blasting it at the Rangers who narrowly avoided it.
Meanwhile, Zedd confronted Tommy in the Temple of Light and took control of the Sword of Light.

After Tommy defeated "Zedd" (who was actually an illusion by the Temple of Light), Nimrod had enlarged and summoned AC and DC and they were overwhelming the Thunder Megazord. With Billy drawing a blank on giving them more power, they equipped the Thunder Saber but Nimrod leapt out of the way of it. She then slapped it out of the way with her staff and combined powers with AC and DC, taking the Megazord down with a single shot and forcing them to retreat.
They then moved into the countryside only to be confronted by Tommy as the new White Ranger in his new White Tigerzord. She quickly energy slashed it across the shoulder and they prepared their massive energy blast to finish it off but the Thunderzord Assault Team arrived and they formed the Mega Tigerzord. Before Nimrod could finish it off with the same laser ball that earlier defeated the Thunder Megazord, the Mega Tigerzord fired the Firebird Thunderzord straight through her and her minions, destroying all three of them instantly.

Personality[]
Although she retains her TV counterpart's tenacity and psychopathic tendencies, this version of Nimrod the Scarlet Sentinel is also extremely impatient to the point of being willing to destroy property just to hurry things along.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Energy Ball Summoning: The literal first thing Nimrod did was summon a big orange energy ball into her right hand. She can then charge it up with more energy to make it bigger and float before throwing it. This caused a big boom and forced the Power Rangers to separate.
- Energy Lasers: Nimrod can also turned the first energy ball that she summoned into a big orange laser to fire from her right hand capable of causing massive explosions.
- Enlargement: Nimrod can apparently make herself grow giant sized at will.
- AC & DC Summoning: Nimrod can summon two monsters, similar to her in appearance, to aid her, to battle. The two follow Nimrod's orders by default and use their teamwork and combine firepower to overcome foes.
- Agility: Nimrod was able to act quickly enough to completely avoid the Thunder Saber swing by jumping away backwards.
Arsenal[]
- Lightning Staff: Nimrod carries a large silver lightning staff for combat.
- Energy Blasts: Nimrod can fire large red lasers from her staff.
- Energy Empowerment: Nimrod can charge her staff up with red energy to unleash a powerful strike.
- Claws: Nimrod has clawed hands to hack and slash at his enemies.
With AC and DC[]
- Hand-to-Hand Combat: Nimrod and her goons were very skilled when it came to close quarters combat, being able to defeat the Thunder Megazord with ease.
- Experts in Armed Combat: Nimrod and her goons easily broke through the Thunder Megazord's defences and struck it with their weapons at least once each.
- Laser Blast: The combined attack of the Scarlet Sentinels and their most powerful move. Nimrod would overwhelm the enemy and have her minions compile their weapons and then fire a gigantic red laser. This was strong enough to take out the Thunder Megazord with one hit and damage it so much that a single hit more would destroy it utterly which is why they fled.
Notes[]
- Due to not having to worry about a budget, Nimrod's suit is slightly better designed than her Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Dairanger counterparts. This version possessed clawed fingers (although she never used them), darker reds across her body, and her face is much more sunken in in the comics whereas it looks stuck on with glue on TV.
- The ultimate attack used to take down the Thunder Megazord is very different than the version seen on TV. Whereas in the episode "White Light", it was the three firing a barrage of energy balls from their weapons and (in Nimrod's case) their hands, this iteration has them compiling their weapons into one big laser.
