At Alphabet Soup (see above), Dr. K celebrates her 14th birthday with Gem and Gemma.
An unknown period of time later (the oversized pencil she received on her birthday is worn down to a nub), Dr. K follows a butterfly to another section of Alphabet Soup and unwittingly steps into sunlight, revealing that her supposed sun allergy was a lie.

Venjix Year 1 ("3 years" before start of "The Road to Corinth")
Dr. K (above) unveils Project Venjix, a computer virus designed to help her escape with Gem and Gemma. In addition to training Venjix to hack into Alpbabet Soup's systems, Dr. K has also used the program to help with Project Ranger; it's unclear whether Venjix has any connection to the program requested of her years prior.
K is seized by guards just after unleashing the virus on the mainframe, preventing her from installing a firewall in time. Venjix escapes the confines of Alphabet Soup and will later claim to be "the one immortal being." The World Internet Federation soon reports the virus's appearance.

Venjix Year 2 ("a year later")
A year after its release, Venjix has infected approximately 37% of the world's computer systems; large numbers of computers are apparently scrapped.
PRRPM: "The Road to Corinth"
Venjix (above) begins a surprise offensive against mankind; its forces consist of robotic soldiers called Grinders, as well as aerial drones. Omega City is promptly evacuated and left in ruins (see below).
During this war, Venjix apparently turns a number of humans (including Corporal Hicks) into unwitting robot hybrids (see below).
Venjix takes control of the world's communication, power, and defense systems; the stock market plummets. As reported by the World Gazette, a president declares a state of emergency, while Europe, Africa, and South America are reportedly "decimated."
Venjix ultimately declares victory.

Appar- ently in Scotland, Flynn has recently been fired from a number of jobs (police officer, firefighter, and aid worker) for his sometimes overenthusiastic sense of heroism.
Flynn has returned to his father's garage, apparently to join him as a mechanic, when they are surprised by Venjix's aerial strikes (leftmost). They will later make their way to Corinth (below).
PRRPM: "Ranger Blue"
Summer plans her own posh surprise party; her parents are held up in London but send her a black diamond heirloom.
During Venjix air raids, Summer's friends abandon her, but her butler Andrews returns with transportation as her parents wait for her in Corinth (see below).
Andrews dies on the trek to Corinth. Meanwhile, Summer's family fortune is lost, being tied up in investments during the attacks.
PRRPM: "Ranger Yellow"
Col. Truman (see 1970s) oversees his sons Marcus and Scott in the Air Force's Eagle Squad.
Scott is surprised to have to fly without flight computers during a Venjix air strike (leftmost).
PRRPM: "Ranger Red"
As Alphabet Soup (above) is shaken by Venjix's assault (leftmost), Dr. K records a message urging people to take shelter in Corinth.
K escapes with the help of Gem and Gemma, who are apparently lost in an explosion.
K makes her way to Corinth with a case containing her Ranger technology (below). Gem and Gemma secretly survive with the gold and silver Morphers in their possession (below left).

Ziggy seeks to join Fresno Bob's Scorpion Cartel but repeatedly fails his driving test.
Soon, Bob's hideout is hit with air strikes as sightings of robot soldiers controlled by Venjix begin to surface (leftmost).
PRRPM: "Ranger Green"
Venjix Year 4 (Battle of Corinth)
The night before the battle of Corinth (leftmost), Eagle Squad attempts to reclaim the skies from Venjix's drones. Despite using a flux overthruster (below), Marcus dies in combat; Scott ejects to safety. Over an hour before the shields go up, Corinth loses all air support.
Hurt, Scott radios for help; Summer later arrives and races him back to Corinth just before the gates close.
PRRPM: "The Road to Corinth" (air support lost) PRRPM: "Ranger Red" (Scott, Marcus, night before, Summer's rescue)
Venjix Year 4 (seen at start of "The Road to Corinth")
People are urged to flee to the domed city of Corinth (its origin unrevealed) before its shields go up. As the battle of Corinth rages, air cover is ultimately lost (see fourth column).
As Grinders approach, Truman orders a retreat into the city, and the shields are raised. Truman's plan will consist of defending the city in an effort to somehow "outlast" Venjix.
PRRPM: "The Road to Corinth" (battle of Corinth) PRRPM: "Embodied" (plan to "outlast" Venjix)
Venjix Year 4 (Battle of Corinth)
Flynn (above), his dad, and other Scots arrive at Corinth.
Flynn borrows a bus to rescue people stranded outside; air battles (see fourth column) are ongoing above.
Flynn returns with a bus full of people just before the shields go up.

Venjix Year 4 (Battle of Corinth)
Summer (above) finds her parents in Corinth. Hearing Scott's signal (right), she dons a paramedic's uniform and takes a bike to help. Her parents will use her black diamond to sustain an illusion of wealth.
Summer brings Scott back just as the gates close.

Venjix Year 4 (Battle of Corinth)
Ziggy (above) comes to Corinth with the Scorpion Cartel. Bob sets up shop at a horse track; his cartel will be one among five in the city.
Benny shows Ziggy the ropes; they shake down a Jungle Karma Pizza shop (see 2008), and Ziggy collects from friends at an orphanage (see below).

At some point following the battle of Corinth (above), the world is deemed "post-apocalyptic," and Corinth is "the last human city on Earth." Few humans (or other lifeforms) will manage to survive in the "wasteland" outside of Corinth. In a hidden palace, Venjix has at some point created generals Crunch, Shifter, and Kilobyte.
A blind teenager (later known as Tenaya) is held at a Venjix factory, where she speaks to Gem and Gemma (see center column); here, she will lose one of two keys to a musical pocketwatch held by her brother (later known as Dillon).
Tenaya and Dillon are reunited at Venjix's palace, where both are turned into robotic hybrids (above). Dillon ("Subject D44") attempts to escape with his sister ("Subject D78"), but a run-in with Kilobyte leaves Tenaya deposited in a vat which will complete her transformation (below), while Dillon's memories are stolen by Sat-Bot (below).
His modifications said to be incomplete, Dillon somehow ends up in the wasteland. He will somehow salvage a car and obtain supplies (including gas, bottled water, and explosives) on his search for someone he doesn't quite remember (see below).
Kilobyte is also lost in the wasteland under unknown circumstances; he will walk over 4,300 miles before finding his way back to Venjix's palace (below).

Summer (above) asks her parents for some space, postponing an arranged marriage for one year (see below).
Summer lives among the "normal people" (though her parents are secretly broke themselves) and is ultimately chosen as Ranger Yellow (see fourth column).
PRRPM: "Ranger Yellow, part 1"
Gem and Gemma (above right) are captured as workers in a Venjix factory; they share a cell next to Dillon's sister (see leftmost) before escaping.
Using the gold and silver Morphers, the duo embarks on merciless attacks against Venjix's forces (see below). Their home during this time is unknown, but they apparently have a stable food source.

Scott, Summer, and Flynn pass Dr. K's demanding requirements to become Power Rangers. K mentors the team from a hidden area without revealing her identity, giving them some initial unease.
According to a news/magazine article, Blue Ranger Flynn at some point makes "impressions around the world" (whatever that means).

As all five cartels in Corinth await a shipment of stolen medical supplies (worth $5 million), Fresno Bob (above) sends Ziggy to pick them up. Upon learning of the contents, Ziggy secretly delivers them to the orphanage and leaves the city with Benny's help (see below).
PRRPM: "Go for the Green" / "Run Ziggy Run" ($5 million) PRRPM: "Ranger Green" (five cartels, medical supplies, Benny)
Venjix Year 5 ("1 year" after start of "The Road to Corinth")
In search of supplies to continue scouring the wasteland, Dillon (above left) meets Ziggy (above right), who directs him to Corinth. There, Dillon is arrested (having been detected as a half-human upon approach) but soon invited to join Corinth's Ranger team. Meanwhile, Venjix finishes transforming Dillon's sister into Tenaya 7 (her eyes are now robotic, as are at least one leg and hand).
Not long after Dillon becomes Ranger Black, Ziggy becomes Green to keep a Morpher from Tenaya. Corporal Hicks (above) has been detecting "false positives" while scanning for infiltrators lately (see below).
Dr. K reveals herself to the team. Soon learning of Ziggy's past, K rescues him when he's kidnapped by the Scorpion Cartel (above right).
Scott recovers his brother's flux overthruster from the wasteland to power a new Zord; Dr. K will later trick Tenaya into duplicating a second for a new Megazord.
Needing money, Summer's parents (above center) press her to marry, but they eventually embrace the "new Summer" and intend to get jobs.
Dillon destroys Sat Bot and his memories with him (above left), but not before receiving a blast which initiates a dormant virus in his robotic implants: he is now being taken over slowly.
False memories from a chip briefly planted on Dillon lure the Rangers to the ruins of Omega City, where Venjix battles them in bodily form. The Go-Onger vehicle (see 1970s) is destroyed. Gem and Gemma arrive and destroy Venjix's body, but he moves on to a replacement body.
Gem and Gemma target one of Venjix's factories, where Dillon learns his sister was once held. The Rangers evacuate the workers but fail to stop a doomsday machine from being launched; Dr. K turns it into a new Zord. Dillon finds his sister's key (above left).
After escaping from a Venjix hybrid facility, a number of refugees are rescued by the Rangers. Despite an upgraded body, Venjix is destroyed in battle and returns to his "eye" form. Kilobyte soon returns (above center).
Exploring an an old Alphabet Soup facility (above), Tenaya learns of a dumping ground in the mountains of Corinth; the Paleozord is awakened and soon tamed by Dr. K. Truman learns of Venjix's origin but pardons K.
Shifter (above) is exiled after Tenaya sabotages the body he was building for Venjix. Dillon's unlocked pocketwatch plays Tenaya's trademark song, revealing her identity as his sister. After she helps the Rangers thwart Shifter's robot, Tenaya is recaptured and turned into Tenaya 15. Shifter is destroyed, but his remains are used to build Venjix's final body, into which Venjix beams himself with apparent finality.
Tenaya offers Ziggy to Fresno Bob in exchange for a stolen device; Ziggy saves Bob when Tenaya turns on him, canceling his debt. Kilobyte prematurely activates Tenaya's device, sending robo-Hicks to attempt to assassinate Colonel Truman. Meanwhile, Dillon's robotics have grown to 51%, leaving him vulnerable to takeover, as are numerous people throughout the city. Dr. K works on an antidote.
Tenaya's device takes control of the city's hybrids, and the control tower is invaded. After accessing Dr. K's computers, Venjix accesses the bio-field to "delete" a number of Zords, as well as Gem and Gemma. Meanwhile, Dillon has used the antidote on himself.
As Tenaya fights Kilobyte, Dillon injects her with the antidote, and the Rangers destroy Kilobyte. Tenaya injects a counter-virus into Venjix's systems from the control tower, and Dr. K restores Gem and Gemma. The duo shoots the control tower off its supports, sending it crashing onto Venjix below; Dillon and Tenaya parachute to safety. The air in the wasteland returns to normal, wih the fate of Venjix's lair unresolved.
Scott, Gem, and Gemma soon join Eagle Squadron (above); Flynn and his dad build new computer networks, while Dr. K and Ziggy intend to open a school for children. Retaining their robotic implants, Dillon and Tenaya set out with Summer to rebuild the world, which appears to be recovering rapidly.
One of the Morphers glows ominously as Dr. K locks them in a case and takes them to her lab. Whether Venjix poses any future threat is unresolved.
