Power Rangers gives the original Red Ranger the perfect final fate (that no one expected)

Warning: Spoilers for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour No. 1!Jason Lee Scott’s final legacy with the Power Rangers is an unexpected one. As the first Red Ranger of the franchise, Jason is more closely connected to the franchise than most members of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers cast. So when BOOM! Studios’ comic book sequel came to an end, viewers were especially curious to see what Jason would look like in the final issue.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1 – written by Melissa Flores, with art by Simona Di Gianfelice – reveals that Jason is not even wearing a Ranger suit again. Even for one last hurrah, Readers don’t get to see a final shot of Jason in his Red Ranger suit, as one would expect, but that’s exactly what the character wants for himself.

Although Jason will go down in history as perhaps the greatest Red Ranger in franchise history, he prefers to stay in civilian life rather than Ranger life. Considering his journey both on the panel and on the screen, this is the perfect fit for a character like him.

Jason’s run as Red Ranger officially ended in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100, where Jason resigned from the Power Rangers after defeating the Death Ranger. While his teammates continued their Ranger endeavors and passed his Red Ranger uniform to Trini, Jason enjoyed a normal life for a long time and as a result, his role in the comic was significantly reduced. However, he inevitably returned to the forefront when all hands had to be on deck to facilitate Dark Specter’s takeover of Earth.

Soon he was working with the franchise’s most underrated leader, Taylor von Power Rangers Wild Forceto train civilian volunteers to fight Dark Specter’s zombie army. Taylor and Jason developed a warm respect for each other, and in Darkest hour #1, Taylor praises Jason as a Power Ranger. He quickly corrects her and says He has come to terms with the fact that he will remain on Earth as a civilian while the real Rangers jump onto the battlefieldand knows how he can be useful as a civilian.

The comic finale “Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers” proves that Jason is still a hero

With or without morpher

It’s strangely poetic that this sentiment comes from the mouth of someone many fans consider to be the best Red Power Ranger of all time. Jason’s last picture in Boom! Studios Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers is as a civilian, where he not only still finds a way to make a difference, but also proves that he doesn’t need a morpher to be a hero. He shows that as Power Ranger It’s not about leadership status or the color of your suit, it’s about making the most of what you have.
