Revisiting an old build, changing things up.
VIGILANTE (Texas Twister)
Though he shares a similar color scheme w. TT, Vigilante doesn’t have any powers. Still, he’s managed to get along just fine w. his keen mind, fisticuffs, riding, roping, and shooting skills. He’s going to be a solid leader, able to direct traffic, getting the other Rangers to work as a unit, and use their powers effectively to take down bad guys, limit collateral damage etc. like a cowboy Captain America.
GINNY HEX (Shooting Star)
The great-great-great-granddaughter of Jonah Hex, Jinny has a trunk full of powerful objects (like the Amulet of Isis, The Book of Souls, a Fatherbox, a Power-Torch, and even an H-Dial to name a few). She might even have some inherent powers, as her father is supposedly a divine immortal being of some kind. She’s also a damn good mechanic and a crack shot w. six shooters and lasers alike.
MAN OF BATS (Red Wolf)
The Native American warrior mixes crime fighting and social activism. A skilled physician h2h fighter tracker and detective, MoB uses the traditional weapons of his ppl (tomahawk, lance, bow, knife) upgraded w. 21st century tech. His son, Raven Red sometimes joins in on missions w. the team.
El Diablo (Night Rider)
The spirit of 19th century outlaw hero Lazarus Lane has chosen not to pass into the great beyond, even after passing his fiery curse onto Chato Santana. As a spirit, Lane has many supernatural powers, and still commands and controls fire via his weapons, while riding a ghostly black steed.
MAMMOTH (Armadillo)
Perennial superhero punching bag Mammoth is hiding out in the New Mexico desert, Incredible Hulk style, when The Rangers find him. The team realizes Mammoth doesn’t want to fight, and could actually use their help. He won’t say why he’s not w. his sister, but agrees to turn over new leaf, stick w. The Rangers, and act as their muscle.
AIRWAVE (Living Lightning)
Able to transmute himself into radio waves (of course), microwaves, electricity, cosmic energy and different forms of radiation, AW is deceptively powerful. The second generation hero’s based in Texas, and related to Hal Jordan. I’d love to see a crossover w. The GL Corps, as this team in space would be so odd. AW’s costume is based off of Black Vulcan, which isn’t pertinent, but is a pretty cool but of trivia.
AQUAGIRL (Firebird)
Since El Diablo has fiery abilities, I did a 180 and went w. someone who identifies w. water as my Firebird stand in. At first glance Lorena Marquez seems like a fish out of water on a team like this. Not so. While at her peak in the sea, on land she’s still super strong, invulnerable, and incredibly fast. Also, the telepathic powers she showed in the “Titans Tomorrow” alt. future have started to kick in, and someone w. TP is always good to have on a team.
STARMAN (Fifty One)
While he’s not an alien like Fifty One, Will Payton’s powers come from being struck by an energy beam containing the essence of the alien Starman, Prince Gavyn, and he’s spent a lot of time in space. A powerful flying brick/energy user, the Arizona native’s back on Earth now, and is glad to join The Rangers.
