The Talon Ranger is now known as the Dark Ranger.
While the character never appeared in Power Rangers Dino Charge or Power Rangers Dino Super Charge in 2015-2016, the newly named Dark Ranger will make his first canon appearance in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #31, a comic book releasing in September 2018 from BOOM! Studios (recap here).
The issue will be the first story written by new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book writer Marguerite Bennett, who has yet to reveal exactly how the Dark Ranger is joining the team.
The Dark Ranger will team up with Andros (Red Ranger, Power Rangers In Space), Mike (Magna Defender, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy), Tanya (Yellow Ranger, Power Rangers Zeo), Cam (Green Ranger, Power Rangers Ninja Storm), and the Ranger Slayer to form a new, core team of Rangers.
The identity of the Dark Ranger is not yet known.
Fans will recognize the Dark Ranger as an evil character from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, the Japanese Sentai season fueling Power Rangers Dino Charge‘s adaption by Saban Brands.
The character was extremely popular overseas, and ultimately left fans disappointed when he didn’t appear on the actual TV show. Fans were teased that the character might appear at some point when the name “Talon Ranger” was leaked from Bandai America’s Power Rangers Dino Charge Morpher toy product.
Still, the Talon Ranger never came to fruition, and fans were left to believe that the character was long gone.
However, BOOM! Studios is changing that narrative. The Talon Ranger lives, but under the name Dark Ranger.
How exactly has the Dark Ranger, and the powers of his Dark Energem, entered BOOM! Studios’ comic book universe? What kind of personality does this brand new character have? Who is the Dark Ranger? Fans can look forward to those answers when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #31 hits comic book store shelves this September.

I hope it’s Heckyll taking up the mantle, I thought he was going to become the Talon Ranger in the show but was disappointed not to see him dawn the suit.
Me too, i mean Dr. Heckyl really is the Dino Charge Dark Ranger
Didn’t happen in the show so I don’t care.
In Kyuryger yes, but not on Dino Supercharge.
That’s “Kyoryuger”.
So what?!
Give him a chance. It’s better than nothing.
I don’t give a damn either

Listen to me Vaughn. I’m 33 years old so I’m not a young man. Hell I’m probably way older than you and who are you to tell me what to say and not say. You ain’t my Dad. So shut your damn mouth. I’m 33. Born in 1985. And I’m always keeping it real
Mikey! I’m 32 years old okay?!
And i’ve been watching PR since the golden days of both Fox and Fox Kids in ’90’s as well the silmey days of Nickelodeon also in the ’90’s!
And this site doesn’t need any foulmouthing fowler punks like you to tell me to shut up!
SO YOU SHOULD JUST WATCH YOUR TONE OR GET OUT LIKE THE WOLVERINE THAT YOU ARE!
ROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How has the power rangers fandom become so toxic…
Dark Ranger? That’s so unoriginal. They shouldha stuck with Talon Ranger.
Maybe, if the *Dark* Energem were called the Talon Energem instead.
Thats a good question Forest. Why don’t you go ask the Sentai fanboys.
Please add the dark ranger to power rangers legacy wars game and make a fan film about the dark ranger from power rangers dino charge and dino supercharge cast me as the dark ranger for the power rangers shattered grid movie and go one on one with lord drakkon and rules the world and add 2017 green ranger from power rangers movie to legacy wars I love power rangers
Uh no, just no, leave the Dino Charge Dark Ranger in the comics.
Can’t believe talon ranger is coming,but rename dark ranger
So Heckyl is The Dark Dino Charge Ranger! Why he’s going to destroy the team-up power rangers: ninja steel & dino charge?
Actually he’s not Willis okay?!
Chillax.
i want to be dino charge dark ranger please say yes i need a girlfriend to be a green ranger just like rita on power rangers movie has an alliance okay and i want to be the red beast morpher ranger on power rangers beast morphers coming 2019 on nick please reply thank you
Calm down.
When are we going to get some real news.
This so called new team is just the 2nd retro one since Operation Overdrive. Also, is this supposed to be a permanent Power Ranger team? What’s next, the new writer will be revealed as another toxic SJW? This is incredibly stupid. If your gonna create a new Power Ranger team, than why not make them a true American exclusive team like Power Rangers Hyperforce was? The only thing worse is Jonathan Tzachor and the head writer of Super Ninja Steel got involved in the comics. I don’t even wanna know how their Zords can combine with one another, which is supposed to be impossible. Not even Zord Builders could have it make sense out of that.
Guys ! there are 2 other rangers who were missing .They are gold ranger from power rangers SPD and green ranger from power rangers megaforce .I think we can think about power rangers dino ultra charge In 2020 in which the talon ranger appears, but I think the talon ranger is an evil ranger because it’s Arcanon as in talon ranger fight on the evil talon ranger chargers there is Arcanon symbol .
Eu quero q o hecky seja o talon Ranger
if there is dark ranger there should be light ranger the arch enemy of dark ranger
Yes and there is missing that in power ranger ninja steel green ranger. Pls say that i want to become the green ninja steel ranger
but this is a green female ranger for the first time.The nexus prism should create another ranger which shall b-com the ice ranger.
