The first Power Rangers entry, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, debuted on August 28, 1993. It became a hit in ratings and toy sales, establishing the franchise into pop culture. By 2001, the media franchise had generated over $6 billion in toy sales. A franchise reboot is currently in the works.
Power Rangers derives most of its footage from the Super Sentai series. Each series revolves around a team of youths recruited and trained by a mentor to morph into the eponymous Power Rangers. When "morphed," the rangers become powerful superheroes wearing color-coded spandex suits and helmets with opaque visors.
