Ranger: Difference between revisions

== Comics ==

* The Rangers in the ''[[Marvel Universe]]''.

 

* [[Badass]] superspy [[Nick Fury]] was an Army Ranger during [[World War II]].

* ''[[Pokémon Ranger]]''.

* Rangers in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' are defined as being [[Captain Obvious|ranged attack masters]]. Indeed, until a few years ago, Rangers were so far and away the top DPS job it didn't seem possible for anyone else to catch up... at least, until ranged attacks got [[Nerf|Nerfed]]. While many see it as being a little bit ''too'' much, Rangers are still a good candidate for any party.

* [[Nethack]] has a ranger class, focused on stealth and death from far-off, which is <s> a nerfed D&D ranger</s> strong but very well-balanced compared to its contemporary in [[Dungeons and Dragons|AD&D]]

* [[Badass Spaniard|Ramirez]] from ''[[Modern Warfare]] 2'', who [[Memetic Badass|DOES EVERYTHING]], is from the 75th Rangers Regiment. [[Four-Star Badass|General Shepherd]] too, who nearly manages to beat {{spoiler|Captain Price}} to death with his bare hands.

* The Highland Raiders from [[Drowtales]]. The various Sarghress units are mostly among the best in the business in their chosen field. The highland raiders may not excel as a group in any specific field, but they compensate by doing a bit of everything for long periods of time. Including expeditions to the surface, where they will suffer from [[Mana]] deprivation if they stay too long and are too few.

* ''[[Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger]]'' features quite a group of [[Badass|Badasses]].

* The Texas Rangers, [[Trope Namer]] for [[One Riot, One Ranger]].

* Philippine Army Scout Rangers aka the 1st Scout Ranger Regiment. They're a special forces unit, created by Rafael M. Ileto after the Alamo Scouts and the American Rangers since he had served with the American military against the Japanese in the Pacific War. The Regiment is highly known in Asia for their experience in fighting against the communist New People's Army and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front with the Islamic terrorist group Abu Sayyaf.

* The JGSDF has this, but it's more of a soldier's qualification than a unit. It's been coveted since JGSDF soldiers with Ranger training are for the most part either with the Special Forces Group, the JGSDF's counter-terrorist/elite special forces unit or with the elite paratrooper unit, the 1st Airborne Brigade. JGSDF soldiers with Ranger status are also trained to conduct anti-guerrilla/infiltration operations (alongside other special forces-type training) throughout Japan should there be a future conflict involving commandos/soldiers from intruding nations or terrorists inserted into Japan.

* The original rangers were colonial troops hired as special forces along the American frontier by various colonies. Rogers Rangers were among the most famous of these.
