History
Dino Thunder
When Kira the Yellow Dino Ranger is the first who touched a glowing rock, she saw herself becoming a Ranger. However, she also had a vision of the new team of Power Rangers, the S.P.D. Rangers including Jack as the S.P.D. Red Ranger. An evil space alien confronts the new team of Rangers. The S.P.D. Rangers summon a Mega Cannon called R.I.C. to take down the alien. Ethan is the second who touched a glowing rock, seen the vision of the S.P.D. Rangers call for the Delta Runners. The Delta Squad Megazord is formed to combat evil. Another alien species threatens the existence of Earth. TV STORY-Before it Began
S.P.D.
A former street thief alongside his best friend Elizabeth Delgado (Z), Jack volunteered to become the Red B-Squad Ranger in order to save Z's life as well as those of the other Rangers and took over as team leader, Much to Sky Tate's dismay, who wanted to be the Red Ranger. At first, he took his position as team leader very lightly, but has since proven himself to be a very capable leader, albeit one who often clashes with the chain of command. He formed a slightly uneasy but respect-based relationship with Sky, taking tactical suggestions from him in the field and helping him deal with his issues regarding Mirloc and his father by offering Sky his Morpher to bring Mirloc in.
After his encounter with the volunteer Ally Samuels, he realized that, while he liked being a Ranger, what he really wanted to do was go back to helping people on the streets. The conflict of these two interests led to him nearly botching the mission against Delex. Following the destruction of the Magnificence and the containment of Gruumm, Jack left S.P.D. to work with Ally full-time and Sky took his place. Despite his casual attitude, he loathes having to say goodbye and left S.P.D. without telling the rest of B-Squad. Despite this, they remain close.
While unmorphed, his genetic power enables him to become intangible and pass through any object. As the Red Ranger, he has exclusive access to a Battlizer, but the loophole of this rule lies in whoever wields his Morpher. He wields twin magnum-like blasters and is an impressive sharpshooter. His uniform sports the number 1.
Jack doesn't know when he was born. Syd, however, offered to share her birthday with him.
Mission Training
Jack as S.P.D. Red Rangers in his Cyber Mode is seen fight against Morgana and other five monsters, later Jack is seen again in the television while Matt and Trevor seen an episode of Power Rangers S.P.D..

Rex said that the Rangers also had their own affairs, briefly Jack contacts with Rex and say to him that they continue the training and make sure the boys are pure of heart.

The S.P.D. Red Ranger Key is Jack's personal Ranger Key. This key along with the majority of the Core Ranger Keys are seen lining the Command Center's interior walls. This key is mainly used by Troy Burrows (Super Megaforce Red) who uses it to fight as the S.P.D. Red Ranger.

- When the Super Mega Rangers became the S.P.D. Rangers in their fight with Cybax. TV STORY-Earth Fights Back
- When the Super Mega Rangers (bar Noah) became the S.P.D. Rangers while fighting Skatana's X-Borgs. TV STORY-Blue Saber Saga
The S.P.D. Red Ranger Key translucent is Jack's exclusive Ranger Key and also variant of the original S.P.D. Red Ranger Key. This Ranger Key was never seen in the series and is exclusive by a Legendary Ranger Keys toyline.
The S.P.D. Red Ranger represents the B-Squad Rangers for the S.P.D. Dino Charger that was originally planned to be part of Dino Charger Power Pack Series 3, but was ultimately never released. This Charger would've been paired with the Lost Galaxy Dino Charger.

Notes
- Brandon Jay McLaren was approached to reprise the role of Jack for the anniversary episode “Once a Ranger” on Operation Overdrive, but declined due to the involvement of his ex-girlfriend (Dino Thunder's Kira Ford), and Chris Violette was unavailable to reprise his role as Sky. As a result, Matt Austin's Bridge became the next S.P.D. Red Ranger and took part in the episode.
- He is the first Red Ranger to appear in one season and never be seen or mentioned in subsequent seasons.
- From 2005 through 2008, the S.P.D. Red Ranger was a part of the Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade at the Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios). The Parade has since been replaced with another performance, but the S.P.D. Red Ranger was still available for pictures and autographs until Saban bought back the rights to the Power Rangers franchise.
- In the Japanese dub of Power Rangers S.P.D., Jack is voiced by Ryuji Sainei, the actor for his Sentai counterpart.
- He is the first Red Ranger to have a Battlizer that is a re-colored version of that season's Sixth Ranger's Morpher.
- Jack is the only Red Ranger to not have a sword-like weapon as a sidearm or a personal weapon.
- Jason Bischoff, the former Global Franchise Director for Power Rangers, released in Twitter in 2020 of a pitch concept of the S.P.D. Fire Squad. In the concept, Jack Landors returns to S.P.D. as Ranger Prime. He operates as a covert operative due to Jack’s ability to pass through solid objects, as well as continuing to aid civilians in the streets like he did in the finale.[2][3]. The Ranger Prime suit is a recolor of the S.P.D. Red Ranger uniform, with the red and black colors of the suit inverted.
