Power Rangers in Spacegave Bulk and Skull their coolest moment in the franchise, which also happened to be one of the most iconicPower Rangersentrances in history. The final entry in the Zordon Era,In Spacewas a direct sequel toTurboand saw the Power Rangers of Earth set control to outer space following the destruction of the Command Center. While the 1998 season was primarily set off-planet,Power Rangers in Spacewould sometimes go back to Earth, namely Angel Grove.
As a result,a couple of supportingcharacters from theMighty Morphin-Turboera continued to appear on the show, including Bulk and Skull.Although their presence in the series was now much smaller compared to their weekly appearances inMighty Morphin Power Rangers,Bulk and Skullcontinued to play the role of comic relief while often serving as the point of view characters on Earth. They were particularly important in “Countdown to Destruction,” the finale ofPower Rangers in Space, during which Astronema invaded Angel Grove.
Bulk And Skull Announced Themselves As Power Rangers In “Countdown To Destruction”
Bulk And Skull Were Brave Enough To Stand Up Against Astronema
When Astronema arrived on Earth with her army, the Princess of Evil only wanted one thing – to find the Power Rangers. Astronema, who knew that the Rangers were from Angel Grove, gave the heroes a chance to reveal themselves and surrender. However, before the real Rangers could arrive,the citizens of Angel Grove stood up against the intergalactic invader and announced themselves as being the Power Rangers Astronema was looking for.Bulk was the first to do it, claiming to be the Blue Ranger. He was followed by Skull, who said, he was the Red Ranger.

Silver Ranger
What followed was multiple civilian characters shouting their Ranger colors in one of the most cathartic scenes inPower Rangershistory. Astronema was not impressed by their courage, though, and told her army to “destroy them.” Fortunately,that was exactly when the real Power Rangers arrived. The moment in which T.J., Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, and Zhane appeared on a rooftop and revealed themselves to the world was not only epic but also brought the show full circle, as Bulk and Skull finally learned the identity of the Power Rangers.

The Power Rangers Broke Zordon’s Rule For A Good Reason
Power Rangers in Spacewas the first time on the show that aPower Rangersteamrevealed their identities to the world.One of Zordon’s cardinal rules is that the Rangers could never expose their identities, a premise that was carried fromMMPRthroughIn Space. This is why seeing the Angel Grove Rangers – plus Zhane – morphin in the middle of a crown to protect their city from Astronema was so special.

Not everyPower Rangersseason since then has adhered to secret identities. For example, while theLost GalaxyRangers tried to keep their superhero activities separate from their roles in Terra Ventura, theLightspeed RescueRangers were pretty much public services whose official job description was “Power Ranger.” MostPower Rangersseasons do have secret identities, though, which only adds to the importance of what happened inPower Rangers in Space’s series finale.
