In the Power Rangers canon, who is the original Red Ranger? I assume its either Andros, because Zordon knew him and while MMPR was happening on Earth, Andros was fighting the Evil Alliance in Space. Or the Red Aquitar Ranger. I don't know/remember much about him.

While Andros & Shane were in Space, did the Aquitar Rangers help them out?

Well, Zordon is said to be an ancient wizard, right? So the era of rangers likely extends far earlier than we know. Additionally, seeing as how Ninjor made the power coins, he may had made a set of rangers long before Zordon got them.
So while Andros may have been a ranger long before Jason got the powers, he might not have been the first, either.

It contradicts itself. Zordon implies that the original MMPR team is the first he's had to recruit in centuries, and then talks about Andros and such. And about Andros, Shane, and the Water-Logged Rangers.. No clue.

Considering how I feel that a Gaim adaptation could easily turn Oren into a female character, I'd say they could make a very feminine male character and wear skirted spandex solely to have Saban make him a her.

No, you're a little off. Typically, male rangers and changed to female as they change from Sentai to Power Ranger.
So I'm just wondering if they made a female ranger into a man.

Well no then. Otherwise PR would be ahead of the Sentai and the whole system would crash like a college student after midterms.

Let us not forget the episode where Kimberly got sent back to the wild west era and met the ancestors of the rangers, who just so happen to look exactly like the current team. Zordon made them Rangers due to the threat caused by Zedd sending Kim back along with a Cactus monster, I think it was a cactus monster. So essentially you could say that Rocky's ancestor was the first Earthen Red Ranger.

It would be cool if Ninjor comes back for the Ninninger adaptation and is their mentor.


That's a interesting thought.

Considering Samurai says that their ancestors have been around for 17 generations before them, if any of them were rangers, they could presumably be the first. Assuming Zordon didn't have any rangers with him in the ancient war, the Lost Galaxy Rangers weren't just the second team of those, and that Eric and Wes travelling back in time to 65 million BC doesn't count :p

Power Rangers continuity is so messy and all over the place.
