Red Ranger
Red Ranger is a designation given to the main character in every season of the Power Rangers TV series. The Red Ranger is usually leader of the team, with exceptions being Rocky DeSantos, Aurico and Wesley Collins. Red Rangers also usually receive the most powerful weapons. The Red Ranger's main weapon traditionally is a sword, but some have used blasters. From Power Rangers in Space to Power Rangers Operation Overdrive the Red Ranger was given Battlizer Armor, a special suit operated by a special device that the Red Ranger controls.
