He was cool, confident, and always ready to fight. Plus, he had some of the best one-liners in the show. “I’m bad, and that’s good. I will never be good, and that’s not bad. There’s no one I’d rather be than me.”
In the aftermath of Rita’s escape, Zordon selected five youngsters to be his Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. When things get tough, Zack’s cheerful demeanor always lifts the spirits of the rest of the original Rangers. As long as Bulk and Skull tease him, he’ll prank them back too.
2. Carlos Vallerte

Season-long secrets are common in several Rangers shows, and RPM’s mystery is no exception. Dillon loves to be by himself most of the time due to the fact that he has no idea who he really is.
