Jack Landors

Jack Landors was the S.P.D. Red Ranger in the year 2025. He is one of the two main protagonists in Power Rangers S.P.D. (along with Sky Tate).
==Biography==
===Criminal Life===
A former street thief alongside his best friend Elizabeth Delgado (Z), Jack volunteered to become the Red B-Squad Ranger in order to save Z's life as well as those of the other Rangers and took over as team leader, to the ire of Sky Tate.
===S.P.D.===
At first, he took his position as team leader very lightly, but has since proven himself to be a very capable leader, albeit one who often clashes with the chain of command. 
He formed a slightly uneasy but respect-based relationship with Sky, taking tactical suggestions from him in the field and helping him deal with his issues regarding Mirloc & his father by offering Sky his morpher to bring Mirloc in.
===Future===
After his encounter with the volunteer Ally Samuels, he realized that, while he liked being a Ranger, what he really wanted to do was go back to helping people on the streets. 
The conflict of these two interests led to him nearly botching the mission against Delex. Following the destruction of the Magnificence and the containment of Gruumm, Jack left S.P.D. to work with Ally full-time and Sky took his place. Despite his casual attitude, he loathes having to say goodbye and left S.P.D. without telling the rest of B-Squad. Despite this, they remain close.
===Super Megaforce===
In the finale of Super Megaforce, in the time when he was still the Red S.P.D. Ranger, he returned to help the Mega Rangers defeat the Armada.
==Genetic Power==
While unmorphed, his genetic power enables him to become intangible and pass through any object. As the Red Ranger, he has exclusive access to a Battlizer, but the loophole of this rule lies in whoever wields his morpher. He wields twin magnum-like blasters and is an impressive sharpshooter. His uniform sports the number 1.
Jack doesn't know when he was born. Syd, however, offered to share her birthday with him.
== Personality ==
In the world of 'Power Rangers S.P.D.', Jack Landors stands as a compelling and complex character, one whose journey from street thief to selfless hero captures the essence of redemption and growth.
Jack's origins lay in the harsh streets, where he relied on petty theft to survive. Yet, even in his illicit activities, a glimmer of compassion shone through. He targeted the wealthy not for personal gain but to aid the homeless, demonstrating that even amidst adversity, his heart held a spark of altruism.
Upon joining the B-Squad, Jack initially displayed reluctance towards his role as leader. His rebellious nature often placed him in conflict with the established chain of command. However, over time, he proved his worth as a capable tactician and leader. His independent streak allowed him to challenge the norms and find innovative solutions.
Despite their differences, Jack developed a grudging respect for Sky Tate, the Blue SPD Ranger. Their contrasting personalities, Jack's rebellious nature, and Sky's unwavering dedication often led to clashes. Yet, through shared battles and a deep-seated respect for one another, they forged a bond that transcended their initial rivalry.
In Ally Samuels, Jack found someone who shared his passion for helping others. Their work together at a homeless shelter ignited something profound within him. Jack realized that while being a Power Ranger was a noble calling, his heart yearned for a more direct impact on the helpless.
After Emperor Grumm's defeat, Jack made the difficult decision to leave the SPD Rangers and dedicate his life to working alongside Ally. He understood that his true calling lay beyond the spandex and weaponry. In the realm of social justice and community outreach, Jack discovered a purpose that filled his soul.
Jack Landors' journey is a testament to the transformative power of compassion and the realization that true heroism lies not only in battles fought but in lives lived in service of others. As a street thief with a heart of gold, he evolved into a respected leader and, ultimately, a beacon of hope for the marginalized. Jack's story reminds us that even in the darkest of circumstances, the capacity for redemption and a meaningful life shines brightly within us all.

==Trivia==
*Brandon Jay McLaren was approached to reprise the role of Jack for the Operation Overdrive episode "Once a Ranger", but declined due the involvement of his ex-girlfriend, Emma Lahana (Dino Thunder's Kira Ford). As a result, Matt Austin's Bridge became the next S.P.D. Red Ranger.
*From 2005 through 2008, SPD's Red Ranger was a part of the Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade at the Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios). The Parade has since been replaced with another performance, but the S.P.D. Red Ranger is still available for pictures and autographs.
*In the Japanese dub of Power Rangers S.P.D., Jack is voiced by Ryuuji Sainei, the actor for his Sentai counterpart, Banban Akaza (DekaRed).
*He is the first Red Ranger to have a battlizer that is a re-colored version of that season's Sixth Ranger's morpher.
*Jack knows his birth year, but not his birthday. He and Syd agree to share her birthday; ironically she's a Gemini.
