Power Rangers Halloween Costumes are a hot item again this year.
Power Rangers have been massively successful since they made their debut
in America in 1993. They consist of a group of young super heroes who
lead normal lives when not fighting the forces of evil.
When danger approaches, the rangers have the ability to morph into super heroes when needed, and then go back to normal when the danger passes (though in some versions, they still possess some of their super hero powers). This dual life is one of the things that make the show's characters so relatable with young kids. When not in super hero mode, the characters look like any other teenager, with the same average problems and concerns as anyone around them.
The Power Rangers series is based on the popular Japanese television show, Super Sentai. Rather than simply dubbing the original series with English, the producers actually created a new production by bringing in English speaking actors and then spliced in the original Japanese footage in varying ratios.
The first series in America to feature the characters was called Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Since that time, there have been movies, DVD's and spin off shows created from the characters. In fact, the show is so popular, that at any given time there are usually episodes airing on several different Television networks. In 2007, the first ever Power Rangers Convention was held in Los Angeles. It was so popular, another one is slated for 2010.
The Power Ranger characters are an interesting lot. They're all given super human strength, durability, and expert skills in hand-to-hand combat. Starting with the Disney created version of the series, the Rangers who are unmorphers also still retain some of their superhuman abilities, like invisibility and super speed.
One of the unusual things about the Power Rangers is that, unlike other super heroes with a rich and well documented history, there is no explanation for where the Rangers' powers came from, or how the group came to be. Perhaps that's part of the allure - kids can create their own version of the story however they see fit.
The Rangers usually operate in a group of five or six, and work as a team to defeat the villains. There are certain rules that the Rangers follow, a code of ethics which must be adhered to. The two biggest are that they cannot use their power for personal gain and they cannot use their powers to escalate a fight.
They are also not supposed to reveal their true identity to anyone outside the group, though this one is not quite as rigid, and has actually been bent quite a few times throughout the series.

The Power Rangers Outfit have continued to be so popular because the series continues to resonate so strongly with young kids. It's a simple story of good fighting evil, of hard fought battles, and victorious celebrations. It's the story of youngsters morphing into super heroes to save the day. Really, what more could a kid want?
