The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers is about to get a new non-binary villain called the Death Ranger, somehow making the series even queerer.

The black-and-gold clad ranger will be the main antagonist of Power Rangers Unlimited: The Death Ranger #1.

The one-shot comic published by BOOM! Studios will be the origin story for the Omega Rangers, the ancient team of Rangers who used the elements to battle cosmic threats.

A member of the original Omega Rangers, the Death Ranger, ended up betraying the heroes. Corrupted by the “death-defying powers of the Rangers’ greatest foe”, BOOM! Studio says.

Fans immediately began lusting over the Death Ranger – because why not – but the comic book’s writer Paul Allor noticed some were misgendering them.

“The Death Ranger’s pronouns are they/them, as is the case with their entire race,” Allor tweeted on 20 May.

He was responding to a fan who said the Death Ranger is a “stone-cold hunk” and he would let them “breed me balls deep”.

The Death Ranger's pronouns are they/them, as is the case with their entire race, but otherwise, yes, appropriate response. https://t.co/InZ0zvTRTP
