Compassion is great but it doesn't stand a chance if Syd absorbs a diamond or something and punches Kim straight in the chops.

And sure Syd was a paper thin character but that is more than Kim can say. And characterisation and personality are as key to the ultimate Ranger as the biggest gun.

Syd was a poor excuse for a police officer, frankly. But as SPD was only mildly about actual police work, I'll let that pass. Anyway, like all the MMPR Rangers, Kim also demonstrated critical thinking problem solving and leadership (Wild West Rangers springs readily to mind). She also is a substantially better team player and teammate.. And again, lots more experience than a rookie cop who most of the time seemed disinterested in police work.

Anyway, Kim's ninja powers give her the ability to travel through earth, make multiples of herself, turn invisible, and other "magic" abilities. Syd can try to go Crusher Creel on her, but has to actually hit her. Why do super powers only "count" for post Zordon era teams?. Why is Super Dino Mode a show stopper and Lights of Orion not?

Also, I love how you dismiss Kim's compassion for others and put over She's powers, then turn around and say personality is just as important as weapons. Oookay...
