"Galaxy Red!"
―Red Galaxy Ranger's Roll Call[src]

Leo Corbett is Galaxy Red and leader of the Galaxy Rangers and younger brother of Mike Corbett.

He is also referred to as Red Galaxy Ranger or Lost Galaxy Red Ranger - variations on his in-show label, though the latter is more in reference to the show than a proper label.

Character History

Pre-Galaxy

Leo, along with his brother, Mike, lived a comfortable life with their parents on Earth as citizens of Angel Grove. During his childhood, he hung out and played sports, often pondering about what lay beyond the reaches of Earth in space.[2] Leo was among the thousands who were present during Astronema's invasion of earth. He recounted briefly to the Red Space Ranger, Andros, that he witnessed the other Space Rangers (Zhane, Carlos, Cassie, Ashley and T.J.) morphing in front of everyone and taking on the United Alliance of Evil in their conquest of the planet.[3]

During the construction of space colony Terra Venture, Leo dreamed of joining those who would venture into space to find a new world.[4]

Lost Galaxy

As a stowaway aboard the Terra Venture, Leo dared to follow his older brother, Mike, to find a new world. Against his brother's wishes, he followed him, Maya, and Kendrix through the portal to Mirinoi, wanting to help save Maya's home. He largely witnessed the discovery of the Quasar Sabers by accident. Mike originally drew the Red Quasar Saber but passed it on to Leo before falling to his apparent death at the bottom of a crevice. This allowed Leo to morph into the Red Galaxy Ranger.

Throughout the series Leo presented great bravery and courage as he faced Scorpius and eventually defeated him single-handedly. Leo can be very stubborn and hot-headed sometimes. He became close friends with Damon, Maya, Kendrix and Kai, the group helped each other with their personal strengths and weaknesses, growing stronger as time passed by. Kendrix provided morale and support during Mike's absence and in kind, Leo did the same for her. Maya taught Leo how to communicate with his Galactabeast by using his heart to understand its feelings. The lesson proved helpful when he faced Motor Mantis in a race to save Kendrix and Maya, who'd been transformed into trophies by the monster. Kai and Leo occasionally clashed with each other over his initial status as a stowaway, lack of responsibility and forgetfulness but the two became friends regardless. He and Damon share an easier friendship with each other as the two share similar qualities as easygoing and laid back young men.

In a final showdown with Furio, Leo was nearly killed when the general self-destructed inside the cave believed to contain the Lights of Orion. In the aftermath of the explosion, he was saved by the Magna Defender (who appeared on Terra Venture to seek out the Lights and destroy Scorpius at the time.) He believed that there was still some good left in him despite the Defender's questionable morals during battle. Leo tried to show the Magna Defender the error of his ways and began to believe that something was inside of Magna Defender that was holding him back from the terrible deeds that could have happened. This something turned out to be Leo's long-lost brother Mike who was thought to have died on Mirinoi when he fell into the crevice created by Furio.

At the bottom of the crevice the Magna Defender was also a prisoner (defeated by Treacheron 3,000 years prior), when Mike fell in he used Mike's life force to escape. After the Magna Defender saw the error of his ways, he sacrificed himself to save Terra Venture he released Mike and the two brothers were reunited once again. However it was not long before Leo began to have second thoughts of his possession of the Red Quasar Saber, believing Mike to be the rightful owner. When he confronted Mike, Mike explained that he always believed in Leo, he believed that it was his brother's destiny to become the Red Galaxy Ranger. This conflict is later rendered moot when the Magna Defender's ghost reappears and makes Mike the Magna Defender.

In the team up episode with the Space Rangers, the Psycho Rangers had returned and were now under the command of Trakeena to attack the Galaxy Rangers. Psycho Red went after Leo and only with the intervention of Andros, the Red Space Ranger, did Leo evade capture like the others. Leo, together with all eleven Rangers defeat the Psycho Rangers. Psycho Pink's survival, however, resulted in the death of Kendrix who died destroying the Savage Sword to save Cassie's life. Leo was saddened by this turn of events but when the powers of the Pink Ranger were passed down to Karone, he and the others welcomed her into the team and befriended her despite her past as Astronema.

Throughout the series, Leo used weapons such as the Red Transdagger, Lion Galactabeast, Red Astro Cycle, Armor Keys (which he used to become the Red Armored Ranger), the Lights of Orion and Red Capsular Cycle (which he gained through understanding his Galactabeast.)

Leo's sacrifice

In the finale, Leo single-handedly destroyed Trakeena in her green insectoid form when he blasted her at point-blank range. The action resulted in sacrificing his Battlizer and nearly destroying himself in the process. Leo and the other Rangers survived the crash landing of Terra Venture's ruined central dome when the Galaxy Megazord arrived in time to save them. Once it's revealed that the planet they've landed on was Mirinoi, the five Rangers return the sabers to their resting place in the stone alter. The action revived not only the planet and its original inhabitants but Kendrix as well.

Post-Lost Galaxy

Lightspeed Rescue

When Triskull and his ghouls invaded Mirinoi, Leo took up the mantle of Red Ranger once more and followed him to Earth. Once on the planet, he and the Galaxy Rangers helped the Rescue Rangers fight both Triskull and Trakeena who'd managed to survive his attack from the Battlizer. He fought alongside Carter Grayson, his Red Ranger successor and the Red Lightspeed Ranger. He then returns to Mirinoi.

Forever Red

During the Power Rangers Wild Force episode Forever Red, Leo was recruited by Andros to journey to the moon with nine other Red Rangers to destroy the last remnants of the Machine Empire and Serpentera. He arrived to the planet with Aurico in time to rescue Cole from Venjix and aided T.J. primarily during the battle against the Machine Empire Generals. Currently, Leo is living in Mirinoi either retired and watching over the Quasar Sabers or active as a Ranger protecting Mirinoi from threats. He once again returns to Mirinoi.

Legacy of Power

The Galaxy Rangers were featured in a chronicle of Power Ranger history compiled by Tommy Oliver shortly after he formed the Dino Rangers, which was found by the nascent Ranger team in the Dino Lab. Legacy of Power

Family

Notes

  • Originally, Leo and Kendrix were to be romantically involved, but the subplot was subsequently scrapped when Valerie Vernon was diagnosed with leukemia, although the idea was hinted at during points in the show.
  • The name Leo means "lion" in Latin, which ties in with his totem Galactabeast, a Lion.
    • Interestingly, the animal themed Sentai, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger, has a Yellow Ranger named Leo
  • He is the first Ranger to try to go against a giant monster (if unsuccessful) without Zords.
  • Though Leo did not originally pull the Red Quasar Saber from the stone, evidence that he was a chosen Ranger for the saber all along was the fact that he was able to pull it from the stone himself in Trakeena's Revenge and Forever Red.
    • It should be noted that even though his brother Mike along with the other Rangers pulled the saber out of the stones, the power of the sabers did not activate until Mike passed the saber to Leo which may also further prove Leo's status as a chosen one.
  • Had Forever Red been allowed to be shot as a feature length film, Leo would've been one of the two Red Rangers to die (other being Aurico), because he shared a lion-themed Zord, just like then-present Red Ranger Cole, according to Amit Bhaumik.
  • Danny Slavin is five years older than his on-screen older brother.
  • In the Japanese dub of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Leo is voiced by Teruaki Ogawa, who protrayed as Mike Corbett's counterpart, Hyuuga.
  • Leo is the first Lion-themed Ranger, followed by Cole Evans, Dustin Brooks, Flynn McAllistair and Jayden Shiba
  • Leo is also the first Red Ranger to have the power of flame, followed by Nick Russell and Jayden Shiba.
  • Out of all of them, Leo is the only Ranger to not any have silver on his helmet, other than the mouth piece.

Behind The Sences

  • Leo is played by Danny Slavin, his suit actor in the Super Sentai footage is played by Seiji Takaiwa (高岩 成二 Takaiwa Seiji), who was the suit actor for 18 out of the 20 lead Heisei Kamen Riders (except Kuuga and Hibiki) & Hirofumi Fukuzawa (福沢 博文 Fukuzawa Hirofumi). In the US footage, his suit actors are Hiroshi Maeda (前田 浩 Maeda Hiroshi), Takahiro Honma (本間 崇寛 Honma Takahiro), and Yoshio Iizuka.
