Power Ranger Concept 01 — Description
Well, for several years now, I've had an idea for Power Rangers that takes our kid-friendly team and turns them into a police-type force that combats the efforts of invading tyrannical aliens, led by none other than Zed. The Rangers are more of a world-wide unit, or perhaps a planetary system-wide force, as if humans have spread out in the Solar System and even to "nearby" systems in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Instead of teenagers, these guys are thoroughly conditioned and battle-hardened soldiers and form more of military unit than the fab-5 we're used to seeing. Colors denote member function, much like the uniform colors on Star Trek where red is command staff, blue is sciences and medical, gold is engineering and security. I haven't developed the idea far enough to come up with proper color designations, but the idea here is that if a member of a team (or squad) is killed in action, a replacement can file in and resume his or her role.

Another idea I've recently developed for this concept is that they are all "Rangers" as an umbrella organization. Then you have units that have bulkier body armor that are trained to work in special circumstances, and these Rangers would be the "Powered Rangers" (powered here denotes the additional special armor).
