Zack was the second in command, and always kept his cool. Trip was a goofball.

I finally decided on Zack. Solely because I remember more about him.

I'm sorry, but when was Zack the second in command? To me it was Jason as the leader, then everyone else until Tommy showed up... then Tommy was second until he became the leader when Zack, Trini and Jason left for the peace conference... Man how long was that damn thing anyway?

Anytime which Jason was unavailable, Zack would make the morph call. He clearly is the second in command. Tommy was never in a command role until he got the White Ranger powers. Tommy wasn't even there a good deal of the time after Green With Evil.

Zack.

I love Trip, and Time Force is leagues better than MMPR, but Zack. He's stronger, his arsenal was better, and he's a better fighter, additionally, Trip's power was used so sparingly I don't think even he remembers he has it. Katie's super strength it was not.
He was laid back, but he wasn't mellow. He knew when to be serious while also keeping calm.

And I like to assume Zack was 2nd in Command, too. I don't know if it was canon, but I just do (Where did the "Blue is 2nd" come from, anyway? Billy sure as hell wasn't, Rocky was Zeo Ranger Three, sure wasn't Justin, and the show kept trying to treat Carlos as 2nd in In Space (If I recall, it's because Black was leader in Megaranger, but I'm unsure), and I don't remember enough about LG to say it was [Whoever was blue in LG because I legit don't remember :lol])...

I think it was SPD. Usually the Green/Black Ranger is the go-to for 2nd in command.

Actually, I always saw the Blue Ranger as second-in-command before Power Rangers S.P.D. I think the mentality stems from the fact that Blue is a primary color that is often used by males, since Power Rangers rarely has any female leaders.

So Adam doesn't qualify for the Black round, does he?

Pretty sure Adam was the stated second in command in Zeo as Zeo Ranger 4.

Then in Turbo, I'd say it was Adam and then Carlos, because Justin was not shown to be in command.

In Space, uhh, not sure. And Kai seemed to be the lieutenant in LG.

Orange Ranger, Adam was in round 1, and won in a landslide...

has anyone in the Super Sentai ever been leader that wasnt the red?
