Jason Lee Scott is a famous character from the Power Rangers TV show. He was played by actor Austin St. John. Jason is best known as the very first Red Ranger. He was the leader of the first Power Rangers team in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Later, he also became the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo.

Many fans think Jason is the best Ranger ever. In 2004, a contest by ABC Family voted him the #1 Ranger. He has beaten more bad guys on his own than any other Ranger. He is also the only Ranger to defeat Tommy Oliver in a fight. Another contest in 2007 also named him the most popular Power Ranger.

Jason's Adventures in Other Stories

The 2017 Power Rangers Movie

Jason also appears in the 2017 Power Rangers film. In this movie, he is played by Australian actor Dacre Montgomery. Jason used to be a star football player in high school. But he got into trouble for a prank involving a bull at school. This led to him having to attend weekend detentions. He also hurt his knee while trying to escape that night.

During detention, Jason helps Billy Cranston. In return, Billy helps Jason turn off his house arrest ankle monitor. Jason then drives Billy to some old mines. There, they find special Power Coins along with Kimberly, Trini, and Zack. After finding the coins, they all get sudden bursts of strength and speed. Jason's knee even heals overnight!

The five teens return to the mines and find Zordon and Alpha 5. They are inside a spaceship buried underground. At first, Jason doesn't believe Zordon's story. But he soon accepts his role as the leader of the new team. He works hard to bring the team together. He even bravely faces Rita Repulsa before they have fully mastered their powers.

This fight with Rita leads to Billy's death. But seeing the team unite makes Zordon do something amazing. He gives up his chance to return to life. Instead, he uses his energy to bring Billy back. This allows the new Rangers to fight Rita. Jason even uses a sword that once belonged to Zordon. He saves his dad's life without anyone knowing he is a Power Ranger.

Jason in the Comics

Jason also appears in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic books. These comics are made by Boom Studios.

There is also a version of Jason from a parallel universe. This other Jason has both the Red Ranger powers and the White Ranger's powers. He was a big enemy of Lord Drakkon. Lord Drakkon is an evil version of Tommy Oliver from a different world. Lord Drakkon eventually killed his world's Jason. He took Jason's White Ranger powers and Red Ranger helmet as trophies. He also destroyed the Power Rangers in that world.

When Lord Drakkon attacked all Ranger teams in history, Jason became a leader. He led the fight against Drakkon. He used the Dragon Shield and the Dragonzord to give orders to Rangers from the future. This big battle was later erased from history. So, the events of that fight, including Jason's leadership, no longer happened.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink Comic

The comic book mini-series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink focuses on Kimberly. This series is a modern story that continues after Kimberly left the TV show. Kimberly needs to save a French town that is being attacked by Goldar. She asks Zordon for help. Zordon temporarily makes Kimberly the Pink Power Ranger again. He uses the Sword of Light to awaken her pink energy.

Kimberly asks Zordon to take her to Jason, Zack, and Trini. But Zordon tells her that Jason is on his own mission. This explains why Jason is not in this comic series. Instead, a civilian named Britt becomes the Red Ranger. Britt is the first female Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.
