- "We are the J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai! (
我 ら、ジャッカー電撃隊 ! Ware-ra, Jakkā Dengekitai!)" - ―J.A.K.Q. team announcing their arrival[src]
The J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai (ジャッカー電撃隊 Jakkā Dengekitai), also simply known as J.A.K.Q. (ジャッカー Jakkā, pronounced "Jacker"), is the 2nd Super Sentai, or on occasion, were not a Sentai team. (See notes). They are ISSIS’ secret "Blitzkrieg Squad" which was set up to combat the cyborg assassins of Crime. The J.A.K.Q. project was the brainchild of Daisuke Kujirai, a brilliant engineer and bionics specialist who was the Tokyo ISSIS branch commander.

History
vs. Gorenger
While investigating a UFO in the Sky Ace, the J.A.K.Q. team were caught off guard by the return of the reformed Crime with the Crime Big Four leading Iron Claw's armies. The next day, Heart Queen and Spade Ace encountered Peggy Matsuyama (Momorenger), who had pursued the Sahara Army to Japan. After Peggy reveals the markings on a murdered man's back, J.A.K.Q. learned of Crime's Citybuster project and the location of the syndicate's island base. Managing to infiltrate Crime's base, Ace and Queen learned of Iron Claw's plan to use the "Citybusters" on United States, the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, France, the United Kingdom, West Germany, and Japan while he and his forces retreated into space via UFO, wiping out any opposing threat by the time their return as overlords of space. After saving Peggy, Spade Ace and Heart Queen escaped the base before they were surrounded by the Crime Big Four and their armies. However, Clover King and Dia Jack along with the rest of the Gorengers team appeared. The two Sentai teams managed to defeat the four Crime armies before the Crime Big Four join the fray. But unable to defeat J.A.K.Q. and Gorengers in their individual forms, they “combined” to form the super cyborg entity “Big Four Robo”, overwhelming them until Big One arrives and suggest using the Gorenger Hurricane Big Bomber combo to destroy the monster. However, though it seemed hopeless as Iron Claw retreated in his UFO and began to activate the Citybuster, it turned out Big One switched his hand with a remote controlled one that he used to activate the UFO's self destruct. Thus the Gorengers and J.A.K.Q. managed to finish Crime for good.
Gokaiger
Years later, the Space Empire Zangyack invaded Earth. This threat was so great that all of the first 34 Super Sentai were needed to oppose them. Big One served as right-hand man to Akarenger, who led the 34 Super Sentai. The 34 Sentai put up a valiant fight against the ground forces, but when the Zangyack fleet itself attacked them, Akarenger told everyone to combine their powers and save the Earth. This destroyed the Zangyack fleet and resulted in the loss of their powers, which resurfaced as Ranger Keys, that were dispersed throughout the universe.
The keys were collected by AkaRed, and later utilized by the 35th Super Sentai, the Gokaigers, a group of five people from different planets who came to Earth in search of the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear When the Gokaigers joined forces with the Goseigers against the revived Black Cross Führer, now known as the Black Cross King, they were addressed by Sokichi and Tsuyoshi, along with several other representatives of past Sentai teams. Sokichi thanked the Goseigers and the Gokaigers, and told them even though they are not Earthlings, their hearts that love and protect others are the same as the other Super Sentai. As with the other legends present, he granted the Greater Power of his team to the Gokaigers. TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle Sokichi and his team presumably got their powers back when the Gokaigers returned the Ranger Keys before leaving Earth after finally defeating the Zangyack. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Super Hero Taisen
J.A.K.Q., among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes, were caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident. They were presumably sent to the dimensional rift, under the pretense of being defeated, by Kamen Rider Decade while he was apparently hunting the Sentai teams. When his and Captain Marvelous' ruse was revealed, J.A.K.Q. appeared with the other Super Sentai through the dimensional wall, then they fought alongside all the other Sentai teams and Kamen Riders against the alliance of Dai-Shocker and Dai-Zangyack.

Zyuohger
The Space Pirates Return
Evidently, J.A.K.Q. loaned their Ranger Keys - at the request of Gai Ikari - to the Gokaigers whom had temporarily returned to Earth to find and bestow the Great King's Credential to the Zyuohgers. TV STORY-Ep. 28: The Space Pirates Return Their powers were returned when the Gokaigers left for space once more having achieved their quest. TV STORY-Ep. 29: The Monarch of the Monarchs
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger
Spade Ace appeared as part of a conference of the first 38 Reds whom addressed the Ninningers and Zyuohgers. TV STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai
Chou Super Hero Taisen
Iterations of the J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai existed within the Game World among a countless complement of recreated Sentai and Rider characters; both Heart Queen and Spade Ace participated in the Chou Super Hero Taisen tournament as part of Team Detective and Team Card respectively.

5 Years and 3 Magical Groups
The J.A.K.Q. quartet makes a cameo in the 22nd episode of this series brodcast on May 16th 1977.
Zenkaiger
Copies of the four J.A.K.Q. members were summoned by Stacaesar through the J.A.K.Q. Dark Sentai Gear to attack Zenkaizer and Twokaizer, but when Twokaizer used the J.A.K.Q. Sentai Gear which allowed Twokaizer to use Big Ones "authority" over the J.A.K.Q. team the J.A.K.Q. copies turned on Stacaesar and attacked him. TV STORY-No. 14-kai! Duel! Zenkai VS Twokai!

Notes
- In reference to the show itself and the order it appears, J.A.K.Q. is considered the 2nd Super Sentai Season. Later seasons such as Gokaiger and Zenkaiger would also consider it the 2nd. However, other material such as those created circa Liveman did not consider it a Sentai team.
- J.A.K.Q. is the first team to not have a Yellow Ranger.
- They are the first team to have a White Ranger.
- They are the first team to be joined by an additional Ranger.
- After Big One's arrival, they became the first team not to be led by a Red Ranger.
- They are the first team to be initially composed of an even number of Rangers. It is likewise the first to start with less than five.
- J.A.K.Q. are the only Sentai to be entirely composed of cyborgs, making them similar to the Kamen Riders, particularly from the Showa era. Since J.A.K.Q. along with Gorenger was created by Shotaro Ishinomori, this is almost certainly not a coincidence.
- They are the first five-person Sentai team where the Red Ranger is not in the center.
- Early production photos of J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai show the belts were noticeably different from the final product and both Dia Jack and Clover King were to have differently-colored visors.
