In the "Power Rangers Time Force" series, Wes Collins' father, Mr. Collins, was a key character whose fate is tied to Ransik's actions. Ransik, a time-traveling villain, created a formula called the "Secret Ingredient" which was intended to enhance his army of mutants. However, during the course of the story, this formula was improperly used.
Wes' father, who worked in a lab, was experimenting with the serum. Unfortunately, Ransik's formula had adverse effects when too much of it was injected into the serum tubes. This caused a catastrophic incident that ultimately led to Mr. Collins' death. This event is pivotal as it serves to establish Wes' motivations and relationship with Ransik throughout the series, as Wes ultimately seeks to confront Ransik for the pain caused by Ransik's actions.
This backstory adds depth to the ongoing conflict between the Rangers and Ransik, emphasizing themes such as loss, revenge, and the quest for justice.
