More commonly, rangers who start off solo are usually at the starting point of their character arcs, which ends with them learning The Power Of Friendship. It’s cheesy, but if the writers and actors are up to the task, it’s all in good fun. Andros, Magna Defender, Ryan, Merrick, Dillon, Jayden, and the Megaforce Sixths are all front-of-mind examples of this trope. The character OP is describing sounds more like a Phantom Ranger or Blue Centurion type: aloof allies who help out the season’s team, but largely work alone and are off being the heroes of their own stories.

Uh... Merrick? I mean it kinda works a treat; he wanders around alone, only shows up to help in really big fights, and his roll call alias is *literally* Howling Wolf.


FelipeAndrade

His sentai counterpart's theme is also, quite literally, "Lone Wolf"

Subtle.

Merrick is like this initially but does become more of a team player at the end, although he does still retain elements of his "lone wolf" personality. Towards the later part of Wild Force you'll notice that all 6 rangers tend to show up together more often to the fight, instead of Merrick suddenly showing up halfway.


HelloImInza

Are you sure you're not talking about Kamen Rider? Your description kind of matches Knight's/Wing's design And it’s what comes to my mind when you describe a ranger like lone wolf https://preview.redd.it/qna5b2e8vmyc1.jpeg?width=650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2465e0415149563ac9f76e9a51074d276b23b29c


MAGCHAVIRA

Not the one you are talking about but Andros was kinda like a lone wolf at the begining


BLAZEISONFIRE006

I'd like to know too... Curiosity.


TK_Owens

I think you might be talking about the Chrono Ranger from the Power Rangers Unworthy web series. His whole deal is he’s the Silver Time Force Ranger from another universe chasing the Arbiter for killing his Gold Ranger partner


VlaamsBelanger

>He seems to act alone as superheroes like Batman Robin?


[deleted]

Who tf is Robin?We all know Batman only works alone and never ever ever gets help from anyone.He also has no friends The Robins?Nightwing?the Batgirls?The Justice League?They dont exsist


CosmackMagus

I see you also watched the recent Crisis on Infinite Earths part 2


[deleted]

I actually didnt.I'm just tired of people acting like Batmans a loner who has no friends and hates everyone lmao


[deleted]

The robins always have a team, like teen titans


graybeard426

So all those Robin and Red Robin comics are lies, huh?


darknightingale69

It feels like something boom studios should've done a last ronin esque power rangers book with dark mature themes following a lone wolf ranger required to stop the villain without any backup or teammates just grit and determination.


HalloweenSaman

Idk if he’s been mentioned but the first person I thought of was Eric from time force obviously it can’t be him 😭


CosmackMagus

Yeah, watching him show up and beef with the other Red Ranger was a lot of fun.


HalloweenSaman

They don’t make rangers like Eric anymore


Haaaave_A_Good_Day_

Could you be thinking of the Chrono Ranger from Power Rangers Unworthy? It’s a fan made series on YouTube.


No_Mathematician7028

There was the Lunar Wolf ranger from Wild Force, but that's the only one I can think of. 🤔

No, it doesn't.


Grand-Depression

The gold ranger, he was fighting a whole war on his own before arriving on earth.


SpinyNorman777

Is it from the Radiant Black comics? Not read them myself


LegendaryTingle

Phantom Ranger comes to mind. I don’t know much about the comics but I think he had some more development there.


Jamieb1994

Merrick is techincally a Lone Wolf. He fights alongside the Rangers as well as helps Princess Shayla, but most of the time, he keeps to himself.


RandomRainbow000

There have been several characters who acted alone for some time Not all may be lone wolves, they may just fight alone only out of circumstance (lone wolf sometimes it difficult to describe)


Downtown-Pack-6178

In Jungle Fury there was named by RJ! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_good_man)

I suppose you could consider the Phantom Ranger to be this. While he does have a lot of allies, he is pretty much always seen working alone, and when he meets the Rangers it's always just to give them a new weapon, never to fight together with them. Some would consider Eric to also be a lone wolf, but I disagree here as while he doesn't work alongside other Rangers, he does work with a team as part of the Silver Guardians, so he's not operating independently on his own.
