== Charactah Account ==
One of the first five people to become Power Rangers, Jason studied karate and even taught classes at the Juice Bar. He was given the Red Tyrannosaurs Power Coin due to being "bold and powerful", and served as the leader of the original five Rangers.
Jason was highly respected during his time as leader of the Power Rangers and is shown to have some of the best martial arts skills of the Rangers. Jason is also the only one to ever best Tommy in single combat when Tommy was still the much more powerful Green Ranger. It is also hinted that Tommy still looks up to Jason as a great leader when he asks Jason for leadership advice after Jason becomes the Gold Ranger even though Jason is assumed to be second-in-command. He also traded duties with Tommy during their MMPR season 1 and Zeo tenures with one as red and the other as 6th member.
Though in Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, when Jason is turned evil by Maligore, he fights Tommy and dangles him over the edge of Maligore's pit saying "Now I have all the muscles and the power." In "The Green Candle", Jason fought Goldar in an attempt to retrieve the Green Candle and save Tommy's Green Ranger powers but aborted the effort to return to Earth to save Tommy's life. Tommy's Green Ranger powers weakened from that point on until they failed completely in "Green No More". Though Tommy didn't blame Jason for the loss of his powers, Jason himself took the failure deeply to heart. He lamented in " Missing Green" that he was the reason Tommy lost his power, and even years later in "King for a Day", he was adamant about rescuing Tommy for fear of failing him again.

== Trivia ==
* Jason was the first of the three departing Rangers to share onscreen interaction with his successor (then teammate) when he returned in Zeo, Something that was unique to him until decades later when Zack and Adam would also meet.
* The role of Jason was originally auditioned and won by David Yost, but David thought he did not look the part of a leader, so he was re-cast as Billy, with Austin hired in his place to portray Jason.
* Jason broke an evil spell out of Tommy, while Tommy broke an evil spell out of Jason.
* The phrase "Back to Action!" was first coined by Jason (in the MMPR three-part episode "The Mutiny"); used when the Rangers, usually helmet-less, would return to battle after some form of break. Also, while the phrase "It's Morphin' Time!" was first coined by Zordon (in the second MMPR episode "High Five"), Jason's subsequent delivery of the line was what made it famous.
* Jason's birth date was listed as October 20th on both the profile card on the box of the 1993 eight-inch-tall Red Ranger Figure and on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers CD-Rom. This gives him the same birthday as Tommy.
* Jason holds the distinction of being the only character in the original cast of MMPR to share the same first name of his actor. In real life, Austin St. John revealed at the 2007 Power Morphicon that Austin is his stage name and that his real name is Jason Geiger.
* Jason, along with Tommy, Billy, Adam, Kimberly, and Rocky are the only Rangers to appear in more than 100 episodes.
* His name is based on Jason Scott Lee, a martial artist, and actor. He is best known for playing Bruce Lee in the semi-biographical movie Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.
* Jason was originally named Victor Lee. The name was used by Mark Dacascos' Red Ranger character in Saban's Bio-Man pilot from 1986.
* Notably, during his time as the Gold Ranger, Jason exclusively wore black clothing despite not being classified as a Black Ranger.
* While he was the Gold Ranger, Jason was the first Power Ranger to be named after something other than the color of the underlying costume, which was black.
* The character of Jason was voted as the greatest Red Ranger of all time in an ABC Family contest held in 2004, and again in 2007 in a contest by Toon Disney.
* Jason in the Japanese dub of Power Rangers is voiced by Daiki Nakamura who also voiced Dark King Zylpheeza in Kyukyu Sentai GoGo-V.
* Prior to the Disney Era, Jason was considered as a returning character for Hexagon, a season eleven story concept that preceded Ninja Storm. In it, Jason would have mentored the Thunder Rangers in opposition to Tommy's Wind Rangers, and would have opposed the Hexagon program as a whole due to feeling it too powerful.
* Jason's birthday was given as October 20, making him a Libra.
* Jason's birthplace was given as Los Angeles.
* Asked about what kinds of martial arts he practiced, Jason stated the styles he had studied were a long list which included kenpo, taekwondo, judo, and shinkido, but his favorites styles were taekwondo and kenpo.
** As of "Two Heads are Better than One", Jason holds the rank of 4th degree black belt.
