Thank You. --> '''''Power Rangers''''' is an American [[media franchise]] created by [[Haim Saban]], [[Shuki Levy]] and [[Shotaro Ishinomori]] built around a live-action [[superhero]] television series, based on the Japanese [[tokusatsu]] franchise ''[[Super Sentai]]''. It is currently owned by American toy and entertainment company [[Hasbro]] through a dedicated subsidiary, SCG Power Rangers LLC. It was first produced in 1993 by Saban Entertainment (later [[BVS Entertainment]]), which Saban sold to [[the Walt Disney Company]] and then brought back under his now-defunct successor company [[Saban Brands]] within his current company, [[Saban Capital Group]]. The ''Power Rangers'' television series takes much of its [[footage]] from the ''Super Sentai'' television series produced by [[Toei Company]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.toei.co.jp/en/company/license.html|title= Toei Company Profile{{!}} Toei|access-date=August 27, 2012}}</ref> The first ''Power Rangers'' entry, ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', debuted on August 28, 1993, and helped launch the [[Fox Kids]] programming block of the 1990s, during which it catapulted into popular culture along with a line of [[action figure]]s and other toys by [[Bandai]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.bandai.co.jp/e/company/global.html|title= BANDAI Co., Ltd {{!}} Global Development|access-date= February 7, 2010|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130401133920/http://www.bandai.co.jp/e/company/global.html|archive-date= April 1, 2013|url-status= dead}}</ref> By 2001, the media franchise had generated over $6 billion in toy sales.<ref>{{cite web|first=Dollan|last=Kerry|url=http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2001/1126/066.html|title=Beyond Power Rangers|website=[[Forbes]]|date=November 26, 2001|access-date=January 30, 2024|archive-date=September 8, 2014|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140908224619/http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2001/1126/066.html}}</ref> Despite [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers#Reception and controversy|initial criticism]] that its action violence targeted child audiences, the franchise has been commercially successful. As of 2023, ''Power Rangers'' consists of 30 television seasons of 22 different themed series, three theatrical films released in 1995, 1997, and 2017 and a television special released in 2023. In 2018, Hasbro was named the new master toy licensee. Shortly afterwards, Saban Brands and Hasbro announced that the latter would acquire the franchise and the rest of the former's entertainment assets in a $522 million deal, with the first products from Hasbro becoming available in early 2019.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hasbro to Acquire Saban Brands' Power Rangers and Other Entertainment Assets|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180501005946/en/|website=BusinessWire|date=May 1, 2018|access-date=May 1, 2018|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Gruenwedel|first=Erik|title=Hasbro Acquires Saban's 'Power Rangers' for $522 Million |url=https://www.mediaplaynews.com/hasbro-acquires-sabans-power-rangers-for-522-million/|access-date=May 2, 2018|work=Media Play News|date=May 1, 2018}}</ref> In 2024, Hasbro announced a global licensing agreement with [[Playmates Toys]] to produce new additional cross-category ''Power Rangers'' toys in 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |last=ShadowRay22 |date=2024-04-22 |title=Hasbro and Playmates Toys Enter Strategic Relationship to Produce and Distribute Power Rangers Product Globally Starting In 2025 |url=https://morphinlegacy.com/2024/04/hasbro-and-playmates-toys-enter-strategic-relationship-to-produce-and-distribute-power-rangers-product-globally-starting-in-2025/ |access-date=2024-04-22 |website=Morphin' Legacy |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Zahn |first=James |date=2024-04-22 |title=It's Morphin' Time: Hasbro, Playmates Toys Strike Global Deal for Power Rangers Toys |url=https://toybook.com/hasbro-playmates-toys-power-rangers-deal/ |access-date=2024-04-22 |website=The Toy Book |language=en-US}}</ref> ==Premise== {{further|List of Power Rangers characters|l1=List of ''Power Rangers'' characters}} Since ''Power Rangers'' derives most of its footage from the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series, it features many [[Super Sentai#Common elements|hallmarks]] that distinguish it from other superhero series. Each series revolves around a team of youths recruited and trained by a mentor to morph into the eponymous Power Rangers, able to use special powers and pilot immense assault machines, called Zords, to overcome the periodic antagonists. In the original series ''Mighty Morphin'', the wizard [[Zordon]] recruits "[[teenagers]] with attitude" against [[Rita Repulsa]].<ref>{{cite episode |title=Day of the Dumpster |episode-link=Day of the Dumpster |series=Mighty Morphin Power Rangers |series-link=Mighty Morphin Power Rangers |network=[[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] |airdate=August 28, 1993 |season=1 |number=1}}</ref> When "morphed," the rangers become powerful [[superhero]]es wearing color-coded skin-tight [[spandex]] suits and helmets with [[opacity (optics)|opaque]] [[visor]]s; identical except in individual rangers' color, helmet design, and minor styling such as incorporating a skirt. Morphed Rangers generally possess enhanced strength, durability, agility and combat prowess. Some possess superhuman or [[psychic]] abilities such as super-speed, element manipulation, [[extra-sensory perception]] or [[invisibility]].<ref>[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]], [[Power Rangers S.P.D.]], [[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive]], [[Power Rangers Jungle Fury]]{{primary source inline|date=February 2025}}</ref> In addition, each individual ranger has a unique [[weapon]], as well as common weaponry used for ground fighting.<ref group=note>{{citation needed span|As the series progresses, one or more of the Rangers will usually receive motorcycles for long-distance travel, as well as individual Zords. In many series, a Ranger is also given additional Zords or weapons. In some cases, one Ranger may receive something that other Rangers do not; an example is the [[Battlizer]] given to the Red Ranger of each series since ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'' (until ''[[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive|Operation Overdrive]]'').|date=February 2025}}</ref> {{citation needed span|When enemies grow to incredible size (as nearly all do), Rangers use individual Zords that combine into a larger Megazord.|date=February 2025}} Rangers teams operate in teams of three to five, with more Rangers joining the team later. Each team of Rangers, with a few exceptions, obeys a general set of conventions, outlined at the beginning of ''Mighty Morphin'' and implied by mentors throughout many of the other series: Power Rangers may not use their Ranger powers for personal gain or for escalating a fight (unless the enemy does so), nor may the Power Rangers disclose their identities to the general public.<ref group=note>Public servants (rescue squad, police officers, etc.) appearing as Rangers disregard this convention in ''[[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue]]'', ''[[Power Rangers S.P.D.]]'', ''[[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]''.</ref> The penalty for disobeying these rules is the loss of their power. As in ''Super Sentai'', the color palette of each ''Power Rangers'' team changes every series.<ref group=note>An original Power Ranger, the [[Titanium Ranger]], was created especially for ''Lightspeed Rescue'' to add a sixth Power Ranger to the series.</ref> Only Red and Blue appear in every Ranger team. Other colors and designations also appear throughout the series.<ref group=note>Other color designations include metallic colors, violet, and "Shadow", as well as protagonists who have powers and costumes similar to those of the Rangers but are not called "Power Rangers", such as the [[Blue Senturion]] and [[Magna Defender]].</ref> A Rangers' color designation also influences their wardrobe throughout the series: civilian clothing often matches Ranger color.<ref group=note>A joke highlighted this correlation in ''Dino Thunder'' when [[Tommy Oliver]] (a former Green Ranger, White Ranger, and Red Ranger) became the new Black Ranger; he said that he had to go shopping because he did not own enough black-colored clothing.</ref> ==History== ===Adapting the ''Super Sentai'' series=== The idea of adapting Sentai series for America emerged in the late 1970s after the agreement between [[Toei Company]] and [[Marvel Comics]] to exchange concepts to adapt them to their respective audiences. Toei, with [[Marvel Productions]], created the Japanese ''[[Spider-Man (Toei TV series)|Spider-Man]]'' television series, and produced three Super Sentai series, which had great success in Japan. Marvel and [[Stan Lee]] tried to sell the ''[[Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan|Sun Vulcan]]'' series to American television stations including [[HBO]], but found no buyers and the agreement ended.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lostmediawiki.com/Taiyo_Sentai_Sun_Vulcan_(lost_Marvel_pilot;_1980s)|title=Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan (lost Marvel pilot; 1980s) β The Lost Media Wiki|website=lostmediawiki.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/secret-origins-of-the-japanese-superhero-show-that-beca-1722551968|title=Secret Origins Of The Japanese Superhero Show That Became Power Rangers|first=James|last=Whitbrook|website=io9|date=August 6, 2015 }}</ref> Several years later, another idea to adapt ''Super Sentai'' began in the 1980s when [[Haim Saban]] made a business trip to Japan, in which, during his stay at the hotel, the only thing that was being transmitted on his television was the Japanese series ''[[Choudenshi Bioman]]''. At the time, Saban was fascinated by the concept of five people masked in spandex suits fighting monsters, so in 1985, he produced the pilot episode of ''Bio-Man'', an American adaptation of ''Choudenshi Bioman'', which was rejected by several of the largest American television stations.<ref>{{cite news|title=A Crop of New Shows Sprouts From Saban Firm's TV Success|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-08-12-fi-18776-story.html|access-date=May 29, 2010|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=August 12, 1986|first=James|last=Bates}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Haim Saban, producer, in Hollywood, Washington, Israel|url=https://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/05/10/100510fa_fact_bruck?currentPage=4|access-date=May 29, 2010|newspaper=[[The New Yorker]]|date=May 10, 2010|page=4}}</ref> His idea only took off in 1992, as Saban came to [[Fox Kids]], whose president [[Margaret Loesch]] had previously helmed Marvel Productions and thus was familiar with ''Super Sentai''.<ref name="toys">{{Cite episode|title=Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|series=[[The Toys That Made Us]]|season=3|number=2| network =Netflix|date=November 15, 2019}}</ref> Production of ''Power Rangers'' episodes involves extensive localization of and revision of original ''Super Sentai'' source material to incorporate American culture and conform to American television standards. Rather than making an English [[Dubbing (filmmaking)|dub]] or translation of the Japanese footage, ''Power Rangers'' programs consist of scenes featuring English-speaking actors spliced with scenes featuring either Japanese actors dubbed into English or the action scenes from the Super Sentai Series featuring the Rangers fighting [[Kaiju|monsters]] or the [[mecha|giant robot]] (Zord and Megazord) battles with English dubbing. In some series, original fight scenes are filmed to incorporate characters or items unique to the ''Power Rangers'' production.<ref>{{cite news|last=Heffley|first=Lynne|title=Low-Tech Equals High Ratings : Fox's Offbeat 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' Flexes Its Kidvid Muscle|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-11-25-ca-60885-story.html|access-date=August 28, 2012|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=November 25, 1993}}</ref> Like many of [[Saban Entertainment]] previous ventures in [[Language localisation|localizing]] Japanese television for a [[Western culture|Western]] audience, the plot, character names, and other names usually differ greatly from the source footage, though a few seasons have stayed close to the story of the original Super Sentai season. The American arm of [[Bandai]], who co-produced the Sentai shows and manufactured its toys, worked with the adaptation of the Japanese names. A brainstorming among executives led to "Power Rangers", and for the specific show that would be made, ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', evoking the transformation sequences. The meeting also brought up the term "Zord" for the giant robots, to invoke both the [[sword]] that the Megazord carried, and the dinosaurs that were the team's theme.<ref name="toys" /> Along with adapting the villains from the Super Sentai counterparts, most ''Power Rangers'' series also feature villains with no Sentai counterpart. Generally, the primary antagonist of a ''Power Rangers'' series (for example, Lord Zedd, Divatox, etc.) are not adapted from the Sentai. Exceptions to this includes ''Zeo'', ''Lightspeed Rescue'' and a few others which only use villains adapted from the Japanese shows. The [[Media franchise|franchise]] began with ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' (an American adaptation of the 1992 Japanese [[Super Sentai]] Series, ''[[KyΕryΕ« Sentai Zyuranger]]''), which began broadcasting as part of the [[Fox Broadcasting Company]]'s [[Fox Kids]] programming block.<ref name="MMPR2010">{{cite news|url=http://www.kungfucinema.com/the-original-power-rangers-return-in-2010-11072|archive-url=https://archive.today/20100408032401/http://www.kungfucinema.com/the-original-power-rangers-return-in-2010-11072|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 8, 2010|title=The original 'Power Rangers' return in 2010|work=Kung Fu Cinema|access-date=October 11, 2009}} </ref> In honour of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]''{{'}} broadcast premiere, [[Hasbro]] announced "National ''Power Rangers'' Day" to be celebrated annually on August 28, 2018.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://screenrant.com/national-power-rangers-day-date/|title=National Power Rangers Day Set By Hasbro|date=August 15, 2018|work=ScreenRant|access-date=September 12, 2018|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-power-rangers-day-august-28/|title=NATIONAL POWER RANGERS DAY β August 28 β National Day Calendar|work=[[National Day Calendar]]|access-date=September 12, 2018|language=en-US}}</ref> ===Broadcast and production=== ====1993β2010==== [[Saban Entertainment]] produced and distributed ''Power Rangers'' from 1993 until the end of 2001, with [[Fox Kids]] broadcasting the series in the United States until the Fall of 2002.

With the fourth season, ''Zeo'', ''Power Rangers'' began following the ''Super Sentai'' series' practice of annual Ranger suit changes.
