The first two shows, Himitsu Sentai Goranger and J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai were not considered part of the Super Sentai canon until 1995. The term "Super" Sentai refers to the team having a giant robot. This trend began in 1979 with ''Battle Fever J'', and has been a staple in the franchise ever since. From 1979 until 1982, Marvel was involved in producing Super Sentai. It was during this time that Stan Lee expressed interest in bringing Sentai over to the west. A dubbed episode of the 1981 series, ''Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan'' was shown to networks, but was passed over.
