That would be incredible. With the current fascination in superheroes and televisions shows with supernatural arcs (like Supernatural, Heroes, Lost, etc.) I could very easily see a massive nerd fan of the show in its prime penning some sort of sentai idea (maybe even calling it "Sentai") about a group of people bestowed with powers that they can switch on and off.

Give them adult problems to face, with occasionally one of the sentai team going off and using their powers for evil, and create a tongue-in-cheek drama that pays homage to the concept.
