Onyx

This article is about a/an planet in the Power Rangers franchise.

Onyx is a planet on the far side of the Milky Way Galaxy where the evil elements of the universe hang out.

History

Conflict is not uncommon, but Onyx is mostly desired as a peaceful place where monsters can get together in a semi-neutral setting. The good guys such as the Power Rangers are still unwelcome there, but many frequently show up in disguise in order to gather information (Andros and Karone have both done this in the past; Andros wore a simple cloak to hide his face, while Karone disguised herself as her former identity Astronema).

Split History

Drakkon sent Jason and Zack here while in their quest to hunt down the Empyreals. Here they encountered Fendrick Prot and later, Astronema. COMIC STORY- Mighty Morphin (Boom! Studios) Issue 5

Notable Finds

Onyx is also a running theme throughout the entire Power Rangers series as a planet where lost things usually end up.

• Andros got the key cards for the Mega Voyager from there.
• The data cards which contained the Psycho Rangers were found there.
• After Kendrix Morgan, the first Pink Lost Galaxy Ranger died, her Quasar Saber also ended up in the wrong hands on Onyx. An auction for it was held at the Onyx Tavern which was overseen by the unnamed Onyx Auctioneer. This lasted until Karone posing as Astronema got it back.
• Sometime after 2004, the Red, Blue and Yellow Dino Gems of the Dino Thunder Rangers mysteriously ended up in Onyx, presumably by some criminal who knew a person on Onyx who could recharge them, only to be acquired by Broodwing in Power Rangers S.P.D..
• In Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, Onyx was used as the base for Thrax and the 4 Corona Jewel-seeking factions.

Notes

• It seems Onyx is a place where minions of villain groups go to get away from their bosses, due to how much they fear being around them. When Karone pretended to be Astronema, she managed to scare the auction crowd into letting her have the Quasar Saber. Also, there are monsters who were destroyed seen there too, but they were likely just lookalikes.
• Onyx seems to be unaffected by Zordon's Energy Wave.
• In "Wired Part 1", the shot of Onyx used in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy was used to represent the planet where Mora recruited General Valko.
