Mr. A. Collins is Wes' father and multi-millionaire businessman in Power Rangers: Time Force.
Character Bio
Mr. Collins starts off as a ruthless business tycoon who does everything for profit. He was grooming Wes to take his position in the business world and runs Bio Labs. When a mutant demanded 10 million dollars in ransom for the lives of a busload of children, though being able to afford it Mr. Collins refuses, thinking it was a matter for the police, but it was worth it for two companies. When Wes returned home with the money, he was furious and hoped all of it was in the briefcase. He is dismayed when he sees Wes leave his house in order for Wes to "make his own future."
Later, after witnessing Time Force's actions, Mr. Collins sees it as a money-making scheme. He establishes the Silver Guardians and the Bio Lab. The Silver Guardians protect citizens, in exchange for a hefty bill from those who were rescued. After Eric becomes the Quantum Ranger, the Bio Lab's main focus is to emulate the technology within the Quantum Ranger's weapons. Unfortunately, this fast-forwards advancement in technology, like the discovery of Trixyrium Crystals, which weren't supposed to be discovered for another century.
When Mr. Collins discovers that his son, Wes, was the Red Time Force Ranger, he doesn't see as his son as a failure anymore. He becomes proud of Wes for being bold enough to step up for himself and make his own future, as the Red Time Force Ranger. Mr. Collins reveals this for the first time when he attempts to stop Ransik, who fatally injures him. With his father dying, Wes realizes that he has no choice but to take over his father's company.
Near death, Mr. Collins was saved by Alex, who was inspired by Wes to make his own future. With his father having made a full recovery, Wes returns to his position as the Red Time Force Ranger.
In the season finale, Mr. Collins searchs the devestated city for his son, at one point even giving up his car so an injured person can be transfered to the hospital. He and Wes are reunited and after Eric is badly injured, Mr. Collins is left to take him to the hospital. After everything is over, Mr. Collins offers Wes command of the Silver Guardian which he accepts as long as Eric is his partner. Mr. Collins is more than happy with this arrangment. Mr. Collins also makes the Silver Guardians a non-profit organization.
Note: While Mr. Collins' first initial was established as 'A', his first name was never officially stated in the show's continuity. However, there's a strong possibility his name was considered to be "Albert". Wes uses it as a fake name he makes up on the spot in Undercover Rangers, and the actor's name who portrayed Mr. Collins was Edward Albert.
