While the Mighty Morphin team is widely considered the original team of Power Rangers, it appears as though their claim at the top of the totem pole is about to be challenged.

BOOM! Studios has revealed that they are set to introduce a team, the "original" team, that was saving the world long before Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini ever came along. Their story will be the subject of a standalone adventure in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #20 by Kyle Higgins and artist Daniele Di Nicuolo, which will take fans back to 1969.

There's no photo of the team just yet, but IGN has obtained the names and era-appropriate character descriptions, sans suit color, for the five core Rangers.

Igor – 21, male, Soviet KGB agent

Jamie – 24, female, British singer/songwriter

Terona – 21, male, war veteran

Daniel – 18, male, student/protestor

Grace – 21, female, head secretary at NASA and wannabe astronaut

There's not much else to go on, but based on the cover, which was done by artist Jamal Campbell, it looks like this mission will take our heroes to the moon, likely right after astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made their landing as you can see the American flag already planted. We also catch a look at some giant footprints and considering that Rita Repulsa was entrapped in a dumpster on the moon, this upcoming story in BOOM! Studios' excellent ongoing comic series may just reveal how she found herself in that predicament.

Check out the cover and variants below:

@Selonian - Quite disappointed that they're not talking about these guys.

Would be nice to see some Sentai in the comic.

JoeMomma,

I don't want to constantly fall out with you. Can we just chill and enjoy this weekend of many suprises as fellow comic book movie brethren?

We can both be idiots at time but let's stop with the beef as it will end up like 2Pac and Notorious BIG.

Let's come together and be friends.
