A Power Ranger is a fictional individual who "Morphs" from an unpowered form into a powerful superhero usually wearing a brightly colored battle suit usually made of spandex featuring a helmet with an opaque visor. Fiction is the telling of stories which are not real More specifically fiction is an imaginative form of Narrative, one of the four basic Rhetorical modes. is the Japanese word for " Transformation," literally meaning "to change or transform the body A superhero (sometimes rendered super-hero or super hero) is a Fictional character "of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do Spandex or elastane is a Synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. A helmet is a form of Protective gear worn on the head to protect it from injuries a variation of the hat Opacity is the measure of impenetrability to electromagnetic or other kinds of radiation especially visible Light. A visor is a surface that protects the eyes, such as shading them from the sun or other bright light or protecting them from objects [3] In many cases, the helmet serves to protect his or her secret identity. A secret identity is an element of fiction wherein a character develops a separate Persona (usually adopting a Pseudonym) while keeping their true identity (In some cases, more powerful Rangers may have extra shielding on their suit to protect them from strong blows. )
A morphed Ranger generally possesses superhuman strength, durability, and hand-to-hand combat ability; unmorphed Rangers may possess other innate abilities such as telekinesis,[4] super speed,[5] invisibility[6] that are usually not directly related to his or her Ranger powers. The term intrinsic denotes a characteristic or property of some thing or action which is essential and specific to that thing or action and which is wholly independent The term psychokinesis (from the Greek ψυχή, "psyche" meaning mind soul heart or breath; and κίνησις, "kinesis" Super speed is the ability to travel (typically Running) at Speeds much higher than the Average speed for that form of Travel.
Rangers appear to retain their original physiology beneath their suits when in morphed form, as Rangers' helmets have been seen removed or broken on numerous occasions[7], revealing his or her natural form underneath. [8] Helmets aside, the suits are donned and removed nearly instantaneously with a glow of light or some other effect. Sometimes, Rangers "de-morph" involuntarily due to powerful physical attacks.
Rangers regularly operate in teams of five, with a special sixth Ranger frequently joining the team part way into the series;[9] More recently a core team of three will later be joined by additional Rangers. Each Ranger's suit and energy spectrum will match a specific color, with red, yellow, and blue being joined by some combination of pink, green, black, or white. Rangers may be named after their respective colors, such as Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, etc. Red Ranger is a designation given to one character in every season of the Power Rangers TV series Blue Ranger is a title given to several Power Rangers characters , but numbers or other names may also be used. There is usually no more than one Ranger of a given color on a team, but exceptions of this rule are generally given alternate names (in Time Force, there were two Rangers with red-colored costumes; the first was the Red Time Force Ranger, the second was the Quantum Ranger). Each team's costumes are nearly identical aside from color, helmet design (most notably the shape of the opaque visor) and perhaps a numerical designation. Any additional Rangers will regularly have additional costume modifications, usually some form of additional armor.
The Rangers' color designation also influences their wardrobe throughout the series, as their civilian clothing is often the same color as their Ranger color. This correlation was joked about in Dino Thunder when Tommy Oliver (a former Green Ranger, White Ranger, and twice a Red Ranger) became the new Black Dino Ranger; he said that he had to go shopping because he did not own enough black-colored clothing. Dr Thomas Oliver (better known as Tommy) is a Fictional character from the universe of the American Children's television franchise
Each team of Power Rangers, with few exceptions, obey a general set of conventions, outlined at the beginning of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and implied, though not stated explicitly, throughout many of the other incarnations. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (often abbreviated by fans as MMPR) is an American Live-action Television series, created These include the Power Rangers being forbidden to use their Ranger powers for personal gain or for escalating a fight, explaining why the Rangers do not simply crush the small monsters by means of their Megazord. The Power Rangers are also forbidden to disclose their identities to the general public, barring extenuating circumstances (although this rule was disregarded in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue, Power Rangers: S.P.D. and Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive, in which they were public servants [rescue squad, police officers, etc. Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue (often abbreviated as PRLR and often simply called Lightspeed Rescue) is the 2000 incarnation of the Power Rangers SPD (often abbreviated as "PRSPD" and often simply called "S Power Rangers Operation Overdrive (abbreviated as PROO and Operation Overdrive) is an American Television program the ] Following a Spartacus-inspired scene by Angel Grove's townspeople, this rule was also disregarded at the conclusion of Power Rangers in Space and, to a lesser extent, Power Rangers: Mystic Force. Angel Grove is the fictional town in the Power Rangers universe the setting for much of the action of the Television series Mighty Power Rangers in Space (often abbreviated as PRiS or referred to as simply In Space) is a Television show that aired in 1998 as the Power Rangers Mystic Force (often abbreviated as PRMF and simply called Mystic Force) is an American Television series and The penalty for disobeying these rules, at least in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, would be the loss of their power. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (often abbreviated by fans as MMPR) is an American Live-action Television series, created
The arsenal available to the Power Rangers is also somewhat standardized: each Ranger is generally armed with a weapon such as a laser gun and/or a sword. This article is about fictional weapons For other meanings see Raygun (disambiguation. Each Ranger also has a secondary set of weapons that can often combine to form a larger weapon (usually a cannon). A weapon is a Tool used either in Hunting, or attack or defence in Combat for the purpose of subduing enemy personnel or to destroy enemy weapons | NOTE Throughout this article "cannon" is used as BOTH the || singular and plural As the series progresses, one or more of the Rangers are also usually given a motorcycle for long-distance travel, as well as individual Zords. MotorCycle is the title of a 1993 album by Rock band Daniel Amos, released on BAI Records. In many series, a Ranger is also given additional Zords or weapons. In some cases, one Ranger may receive something that other Rangers may not have; an example of this is the Battlizer given to the Red Ranger of each series since Power Rangers in Space. In the Power Rangers series of Television shows the Battlizer is a special armored enhancement given to some of the Power Rangers Power Rangers in Space (often abbreviated as PRiS or referred to as simply In Space) is a Television show that aired in 1998 as the Although much of the arsenal can also be found in Super Sentai, there are usually at least some that are not, generally added for the express purpose of marketing toys designed and sold by Bandai. The is the name given to the long running Japanese Superhero team genre of shows produced by Toei Company Ltd is a Japanese Toy making company as well as the producer of a large number of Plastic model kits
Power Rangers series regularly have villains of their own make which do not appear in the Sentai footage, though for budget and footage reasons there are always carry-overs from the Japanese source material. Less commonly, some series use only the Sentai designs and footage, though despite this some sets have to be replicated for original footage if need be. There was also one instance when to maintain the trend of the Sixth Ranger for a series where only five existed in the source footage, the Titanium Ranger was created especially for Lightspeed Rescue. The Lightspeed Rangers are Fictional character and heroes in the Power Rangers universe and are the primary
In seasons following Power Rangers in Space, it became common for each team to be part of a separate storyline from those of previous incarnations. A tradition in later seasons came about such that two teams of Power Rangers teamed up to take on a villain. In Power Rangers: Wild Force, the tenth incarnation of Power Rangers, this is taken to the next level, as ten Red Rangers teamed up in the episode "Forever Red", and in Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive a team of former rangers from various incarnations of the series teamed up with the Overdrive Rangers to defeat an alliance formed by the son of Rita & Lord Zedd, Thrax, in the episode Once a Ranger. Power Rangers Wild Force (often abbreviated as PRWF and often simply called Wild Force) is the tenth anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise based Red Ranger is a designation given to one character in every season of the Power Rangers TV series Power Rangers Wild Force (often abbreviated as PRWF and often simply called Wild Force) is the tenth anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise based Power Rangers Operation Overdrive (abbreviated as PROO and Operation Overdrive) is an American Television program the " Once a Ranger " is a special two-part team-up episode of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, commemorating the fifteenth season of the popular The only seasons thus far to not feature such a team-up are Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, due to a shift back to non-SAG talent when production was moved to New Zealand, and Power Rangers: Mystic Force, due to a relatively short series length. Power Rangers Ninja Storm (often abbreviated as PRNS and often simply called Ninja Storm) is an incarnation of the Power Rangers franchise The Screen Actors Guild ( SAG) is an American labor union representing over 120000 Film and television principal performers and background New Zealand is an Island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island Power Rangers Mystic Force (often abbreviated as PRMF and simply called Mystic Force) is an American Television series and This was somewhat rectified when Xander, the Green Mystic Force Ranger, and Tori, the Blue Ninja Storm Ranger, appeared in the Operation Overdrive crossover two-parter, "Once A Ranger".

It is traditional that the arsenal of a Ranger team, especially the Zords, be destroyed at the end of the season in order to destroy the final monster, which is often the main villain. The Rangers also tend to give up their powers, though they remain available for later teaming-ups (For instance, at the end of Ninja Storm, the Rangers sacrificed their powers to imprison Lothor. Once Lothor was freed, however, they were able to get their powers back in order to fight him).
Just like the Super Sentai series that Power Rangers is based on, the color palette of a Power Ranger team has varied greatly throughout the years.
