This Friday is going to be an intensely exciting day for me as it marks not only the highly-anticipated release of the Power Rangers movie, but also the premiere of Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 9.

Here’s my list of the top Power Ranger villains who would make fierce drag queens if, you know, they were gay men or trans women.
