Power Rangers is a long-running American entertainment and merchandising franchise[->0] built around a live action[->1] children’s television series[->2] featuring teams of costumed heroes[->3]. Produced first by Saban Entertainment[->4], later by BVS Entertainment[->5], and currently by SCG Power Rangers LLC[->6], the series took its initial premise and much of its footage[->7] from the Japanese tokusatsu[->8] Super Sentai[->9] franchise. Its first entry, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers[->10], debuted on August 28, 1993, and helped launch the Fox Kids[->11] programming block of the 1990s, during which it catapulted into popular culture[->12] along with a line of action figures[->13] and other toys by Bandai[->14].[2]
Despite initial criticism[->15] for its action violence targeted to child audiences, the franchise has continued, and as of 2011 the show consists of 19 television seasons of 16 different series and two theatrical films[->16]. Creator Haim Saban[->17] regained ownership of the franchise in 2010 after seven years under The Walt Disney Company[->18]. The current season Power Rangers Samurai[->19] debuted in the United States on February 7, 2011.[3]
Since Power Rangers derives most of its footage from the Super Sentai Series[->20], it features many hallmarks[->21] that distinguish it from other superhero series. Each series revolves around a team of young people recruited and trained by a mentor to morph[->22] into Rangers, able to utilize special powers and pilot colossal assault machines called Zords[->23] to defeat and overcome evil forces that threaten humanity. At the end of a series, Rangers sacrifice their weapons, Zords, or powers in order to defeat the lead villain they had fought during the series. For example in Mighty Morphin, alien wizard Zordon[->24]recruits “teenagers[->25] with attitude” to harness the power of the dinosaurs to overcome the forces of evil space alien Rita Repulsa[->26].[4]
The Essay on Sources of Power

The ability to convince others, to lead others to your own conclusion, to use logic and facts to make people believe you are right. Power is a possessive word that possesses authority ...
When “morphed[->27]” rangers become powerful superheroes[->28] wearing color-coded skin-tight battle suits and helmets with opaque[->29] visors[->30]. Each team’s costumes are nearly identical aside from individual rangers’ color and helmet design. Morphed Rangers generally possesses superhuman strength, durability, and ability in hand-to-hand combat. Some possess superhuman abilities such as super-speed or invisibility[->31], attributes somewhat related to their Ranger abilities.[5] In addition, each individual ranger has a unique individual weapon[->32] as well as common weaponry used for ground fighting.[note 1][->33]When enemies grow to incredible sizes, Rangers utilize individual Zords[->34] that combine into a larger Megazord.
Rangers teams operate in teams of five or three, with more Rangers joining the team part way into each season. 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 forced to do so), nor may the Power Rangers disclose their identities to the general public.[note 2][->35] The penalty for disobeying these rules, at least in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers[->36], would be the loss of their power.
As in Super Sentai, the color palette of each Power Rangers team changes every series.[note 3][->37] Only Red, Blue, and Yellow appear in every Ranger team. The most common color that does not appear every year is Pink, followed by Green, Black, and White. Other colors and designations also appear throughout the series.[note 4][->38] A Rangers’ color designation also influences their wardrobe throughout the series: civilian clothing often matches Ranger color.[note 5][->39]
