Robert "R.J." James is the Purple Jungle Fury Power Ranger and one of the main protagonists of Power Rangers Jungle Fury. He is portrayed by David de Lautour.
Background[]
R.J. is the only child of Pai Zhua Master Finn. Finn taught R.J. Pai Zhua but the latter left and found another master because the two had different animal spirits, Finn's is a shark and R.J.'s is a wolf. He also knew Dominic and Jarrod prior to the series.
Biography[]
After Master Mao's 'death' and Dai Shi's release, he sent Casey, Theo, and Lily to R.J. to be their new master. R.J. gave them their Jungle Fury Ranger powers and weapons and hired them to work in his pizza parlor. Dai Shi kidnapped R.J. and tried to steal his animal spirit but ended up disturbing it instead. R.J. would often turn into a werewolf and attack his friends but thanks to Flint, R.J. was able to be healed.
R.J. was really upset when he thought Master Finn was dead but it turns out he was trapped in a crystal eye. Flint took the eye to R.J. and just when he thought Finn would be trapped forever, R.J. didn't give up and remembered Finn took some starlight shines of a very rare alignment, so R.J. used it on the crystal eye and Master Finn was released.
After Dai Shi's defeat, he hires Flint (Who has finally been turned back into a human) as another employee and decides not to tell anyone that he used to be a fly. In the Super Megaforce finale, he and the other Jungle Fury rangers returned to help the Mega Rangers defeat the Armada for good.
Wolf Ranger[]
The Wolf Ranger is the first Jungle Fury Ranger named not by color but by the spirit he carries. He uses a variety of martial arts technique, most notably a stylized form of Muay Thai. His Ranger suit is radically different from the other Rangers and is specially designed with armour on the elbows and knees. He retains the Wolf Morpher when in suit and uses it as a blaster.
Zords[]

- Facsimile of the Tiger Zord

- Spin fury
- Wolf aura fists and kicks
- Firing wolf speed up ability
The Wolf Morpher is the transformation device used by Robert James to morph into the Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger. The morpher, like the Lunar Caller, is modelled on a wolf's head. It is predominately purple in colour, with a gold bell and hammer feature, and worn on the wrist but can be used like a cell phone, as shown when RJ was called by the other Rangers when talking to his father, Master Finn. RJ apparently constructed it at the same time as the Solar Morphers, but was reluctant to use it until the time was right. In battle it serves as RJ’s weapon, able to fire spinning energized attacks called Wolf Beams.
Alternative to the Wolf Morpher, the Super Mega Rangers used a Legendary Ranger Key provided by Gosei to assume the corresponding Ranger form as a Legendary Ranger Mode.
