The Power Rangers franchise has always included characters from other planets. Introduced as early as Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Season Three, there have been many major characters from distant planets in the galaxy, from the intergalactic adventures of Power Rangers In Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy to the alien-inhabited Earth seen in Power Rangers S.P.D.

These characters are always an interesting inclusion in the series, setting up the idea that the Morphin Grid exists in other worlds, with Power Rangers existing on these other planets.

The franchises are a match made in heaven, since both have origins in Japan, and prominently feature people in rubber suits pretending to be giants. Plus, the Rangers are famous for fighting giant monsters in their super-powerful Megazords. Watching these giant powerhouses go...

Battle Modes, Battlizer Modes, and special shields are just a few examples of how Power Rangers' suits can change during a show. The Power Rangers movies, namely the 1995 Mighty Morphin film and the 2017 reboot, also offered some unique Power Rangers suits. Here are the 10 most awesome Power Rangers costume redesigns and why they happened.
