How would you become a Real Life Power Ranger?? ..

as simple as the question, How would you conquer Villains in 2012, more importantly who would the Villains be? (person place or concept) would you have to have tools or Zords? (skills or resources)

    Aug 3 2012: I think a hero would be a nice thing for people to look up to. Real life heroes like fire-fighters are great, but they don't serve to be the face of heroes across ages and nations. If I had the power through some power coin/zeo crystal/morpher/mystic force I would be a power ranger that stops natural disasters and end global threats with the rescue zords. The villain however is people who complain about everything but don't do anything to solve the problem. It's like the movie the Incredibles when the superhero gets sued for helping out in a situation.

    Jul 28 2012: IN MY VIEW:
    The biggest villain or hero of of time is "Thought". We will need to be a Power Ranger of pure thoughts to rid this world of misery ;).

      Jul 28 2012: But what about a Power Ranger of Action? A Power Ranger with nothing but thoughts could think forever and never do anything about it.

          Jul 29 2012: Essentially that's kind of what the power rangers do anyways, right?

          They do the whole morphing to their suits at will, then they get cool weapons materialized at will. Then they form their weapons into one super weapon to wipe out the evildoers.

          But if the thought was that great, then the power would be that great...

          Jul 29 2012: Telekinesis is a great power, but it can also be too great...

          If we really were to make a new set of power rangers, they may be severely morally conflicted with one another. As the great Uncle Ben said: "With great power, comes great responsibility," and another great quote from another famous graphic novel: "Who watches the Watchmen?"

          Any time you wanna talk more philosophy in Power Rangers language, just lemme know :P

          God this is perhaps one of the most intellectually nerdy thing I've ever engaged in lol

    Jul 27 2012: As for a Real Life Power Ranger, I think I would just simply want to be a good role model. You know, just set a good example, or try to.

      Jul 27 2012: But what is 'Good' haha jk, If we all had the same morals and sense of what is Good and Evil, and all choose Good then we would all be Red Rangers or would we be Blue?? :P

        Jul 27 2012: Well what I think is good, is just my opinion and mine alone. But in general, I want people to be more accepting of others for their strengths and faults, but also realize that we are similar as human beings living on this planet. Because, what I think is, everyone has their place in society, their "specialness" is needed. Just sometimes, people don't find that place for them.

        Well the least I can do is become a role model for others to act on, and whether I really wanted to become a role model or not, I'm already doing it by just being with other people.

    Jul 27 2012: I would fight for the Power of Free internet, becasue I believe internet is no different then running across the street to ask your neighbor how to do something, or calling your mother for a recipe or making an appt. with your dr. Free internet would prolong every humans life. but 'Free' just means the costs are hidden, so it would be covered by taxes such as 'Free' health care here in Canada.
