'Wesley "Wes" Collins is the second and current Time Force Red of the Time Force Rangers‘, former second-in-command of the Time Force Power Rangers and the main protagonist of Power Rangers: Time Force.
History
Past
Wes was the child of Mr. Collins, a local industry overlord of the fictional town of Silver Hills. Mr. Collins is presumably a widower or divorced, as Wes's mother was never seen or referenced during the series. Mr. Collins wanted Wes to grow up to inherit the family business from him, but his grooming served only to alienate Wes. Despite being sent to highly prestigious schools and universities (where he first met Eric Myers), Wes was never very disciplined and maintained an easygoing attitude to life as a spoiled brat in general. TV STORY-Quantum Quest
Despite this, Wes displayed some notability, such as being loyal to Eric, whom he considered a good friend, even going as far as to not go to a party only he was invited to if Eric wasn't invited even though Eric was never really a friend to Wes, more of an acquaintance. Despite this, Wes continued for years to try to be a genuine friend to Eric to no avail until their time as Rangers and a lecture from Wes made Eric realize despite their different backgrounds, their success in their ability to change their destiny was one thing they have in common and they were both Power Rangers and the only hope for the year 2001 against Ransik.
Time Force

Wes confronts his father.
When Ransik and the Time Force Rangers arrive from 3001, Wes saves Jen Scotts (the Pink Time Force Ranger and team leader) from an attack by Cyclobots, revealing to her that he is genetically identical to the Red Ranger in the future, Alex. Jen gives Wes the Red Chrono Morpher so that he can activate it and, at the same time, allow her and the other three Time Force officers to morph into Power Rangers. He refuses to do so without an explanation, at which point Jen angrily leaves since she sees him as a rich privileged rich boy with no life experience. He follows and activates the Morpher after seeing the Power Rangers take a beating, becoming the Red Time Force Ranger. TV STORY-Force from the Future
Jen initially does not want Wes to keep the Morpher since she sees him as someone with no life experience who has had everything handed to him in life. After the defeat of Jetara though, he reveals his commitment and (along with urging from the other Rangers), she reluctantly accepts his continued role on the team. TV STORY-Something to Fight For
Wes' influence with his father allows the Rangers to acclimate to the 21st century by providing them with a place to stay; an old abandoned Clock Tower and present-day clothes. TV STORY-Ransik Lives
Wes eventually moves in with them after a disagreement with his father in which his father refuses to pay a ransom demand to free a busload of children (despite being wealthy enough to easily do so. TV STORY-A Parting of Ways
After the Rangers' near defeat during the battle against Tronicon, Mr Collins establishes the Silver Guardians as Silver Hills' guardians. A prominent member of the organization is Eric Myers, Wes' best friend who no longer likes Wes due to his inexperience. During a battle against Univolt, Wes' visor is shattered which accidentally reveals his identity to his shocked father. TV STORY-Worlds Apart

Wes thanks Alex for saving his dad.
With the Rangers, Wes develop a certain discipline that his father could never give him. He also develops romantic feelings for Jen - he more than likely had them initially, but it took a long while for her to reciprocate. She finally confirms how she feels for him when Alex, the Red Ranger from the future and Jen's fiance, arrives in the present and takes the Red Ranger powers back, and reminded them all for becoming too carefree. At the same time, Wes's father is critically injured by Ransik and Wes, without Ranger responsibilities, goes to take over the business. TV STORY-Fight Against Fate
Wes changes his mind when Dr. Michael Zaskin reveals that Mr Collins has always been proud of Wes for making his own destiny. Wes (with the backing of Jen and the other Rangers) retrieves his Chrono Morpher and becomes the Red Ranger again returning in time to destroy the robot Dragontron with an incredible move. The Rangers by this point have come to accept him as an equal member of the team despite his lack of training as they follow his plan without question (and it is something no one has ever seen before but they trust that he knows what he is doing) unlike how they always question Alex. This also proves his worth as the true Red Ranger as, under Alex, the Rangers were barely able to fight Dragontron. Wes's actions gains Alex's respect and changes his mind a bit, with him saying that Wes taught that the future can be changed. Alex also saves Wes's father's life and the two reconciled with Mr. Collins accepting Wes being a Ranger rather than head of the company and supporting his decisions. After Alex relinquishes his morpher back to Wes, Wes assumes the leadership of the Time Force Rangers with the team believing he is a better leader than Alex. TV STORY-Destiny Defeated
Wes later gains the Red Battle Fire Armor and Strata Cycle to do battle, with Alex sending the latter to Wes himself so he could protect Jen (who they both cared about deeply for) as Alex wasn't able to be there to protect her. TV STORY-Undercover Rangers

The Time Force Rangers return to help Wes.
When Ransik's final assault was at hand, Wes traps Jen and the other Rangers in their Time Ship and sends them back to the future. Unfortunately, when his teammates return to the year 3000. they discover that Wes will die in the battle which, leads them to demand that Alex send them back to the year 2001, without wiping their memories. Initially reluctant and with no other choice, he agrees when Jen breaks up with Alex and returns his ring and use the Megazord to speed to Wes's aid. Wes, with the aid of Eric, battles the Cyclobot army, being forced to destroy the clock tower along the way, but after being reunited with his father, Eric is badly injured by a Cyclobot, leaving Wes alone to fight the army, though Eric gives him the Quantum Morpher to give him an edge. Outnumbered, Wes faces certain doom, but the Rangers arrive in the Megazord, temporarily knock Doomtron out of the fight and join Wes. With the help of the other Rangers (and with Wes wielding the Quantum Defender), the Cyclobot army is destroyed. Wes then works on destroying Doomtron, using the Quantum Defender to neutralize the Q-Rex's Trizyrium Crystal. Wes then takes command of the Q-Rex and uses it to destroy Doomtron and Frax. Wes and the other Rangers battle Ransik who is too powerful for them with only Wes landing a major blow with his Red Battle Fire Armor. Ultimately though, Ransik surrenders to the team after he realizes that he has become everything that he has fought against.

Wes and Jen share their feelings before she leaves.
When Ransik is finally apprehended, Jen returns to her own time, leaving Wes in the year 2001. They admit their feelings for each other but Jen still has to leave. Wes still possesses the Red Chrono Morpher, and becomes the new leader of the Silver Guardians with Eric being second-in-command and Wes's partner, but only agrees to do so if the Silver Guardians become a non-profit organization.

Power Rangers Legacy Wars

Wes is among the many Rangers who feature in Power Rangers Legacy Wars. He is a Rare (Leader), Rare (Assist) character, and represents the Time Force Rangers with Jen and Eric.
Personality
Wes came from a rich family and as a result he was very naive, easygoing and had the characteristics of a spoiled brat, despite this, he was still a generally nice and friendly person even before becoming a Ranger, as proven when he wanted to be friends with Eric Myers who wanted nothing to do with him due to where Wes came from, but Wes always tried to be friends with Eric even after they both became Rangers. Though Wes was generally a good person, his main problem was that he wasn't very disciplined despite studying in highly prestigious schools and universities, he also never really fought for anything big in his life due to coming from a wealthy family. This changed when he became the Red Time Force Ranger, there he learned the importance of fighting for what's right and acquired a huge sense of responsibility, to the point where he was willing to die while fighting a Cyclobot army. By the end of the series, Wes already became an ideal Ranger, he developed a relationship with Jen and finally became a true friend to Eric.
