Power Rangers

Power Rangers is the name of the franchise spanning nearly two decades that adapts Japanese tokusatsu Super Sentai series for American viewers. The show centers around a team of teenagers or young adults, armed with sophisticated weaponry and gadgets, giant machines that combine into even bigger machines, and wear brightly-colored spandex while fighting monstrous aliens. It was a smash hit when it first aired in the early 90's, and while most of the children who enjoyed the original series have long since grown up, new seasons continue to be produced.

And just like everything else, Chris got his grubby little hands on them.

Power Rangers and Chris

Not much is known about how much Chris enjoyed the Power Rangers franchise, though it is known that Chris does like the series.

On The Wall of Originals, two handmade Trainer cards are devoted to the series. The first is a card devoted to Bulk and Skull, the two dimwitted bullies from the original series. The second is a Sonichu Zord, predating the existence of Son-Chu by at least 9 years. It seems that Chris attempted to make this Sonichu Zord like the popular Tigerzord, but it comes off hideously as Chris depicts Sonichu's head on its chest, another robot head popping up in the first head's place, and its tail being used as a sword. Needless to say, it fails horribly.

The Kart Megazord - seriously, what the hell?

In the CWCipedia's article on the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens, it is mentioned that Chris was once a member of a Power Rangers team, despite the fact that all the other teams have been from California or outer space. In fact, he was the team's leader!

It doesn't mention who he fought or what he fought or even what powers he used, but it is said he piloted a go-kart (?) that was "sleek like an Arwing" and was the head of the so-called Kart Megazord. Sadly (for our sake), Chris disbanded the team before his graduation, but soon installed a new, younger team to take the reins. Where the team is and what they're doing and which female members are currently "non-boyfriend-free" are unknown.

(As an interesting aside, the go-kart vehicles, the "Kart Megazord" and the graduation disbanding and reforming were pretty much ripped off from one of the earlier seasons of the TV show, namely Power Rangers Turbo, the American version of Gekisou Sentai Carranger.)

In Sonichu 9, Allison Amber calls in the Power Rangers to fend off an attack by Slaweel Ryam (or possibly Liquid Chris). The next panel depicts several people rushing off in ridiculous looking cars. If these are indeed the Power Rangers, they have yet to be seen again. Near the end of the story, the Kart Megazord makes an appearance, with Magi-Chan telling Sonichu and Rosechu that the team, now known as the CWC-Power Rangers, used their Megazord to defeat the giant B-Manajerk and the Merried Seinor Comic

In Sonichu 10, to drive those inside 4-cent Garbage out, Chris and the Hedgehog Boys play a song entitled Revive Zordon. This might be a reference to the fact that the character Zordon was killed off at the very end of Power Rangers in Space.
