Characters / Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue

Lightspeed Rangers

In General

The Lightspeed Rangers

• Adaptational Nice Guy: The Lightspeed Rangers are a more functional team than the GoGoV, at least Captain Mitchell didn't abandon his son and daugther ten years ago to save the Earth from evil demons.
• Badass Crew: The team consists of a quick-thinking fire-fighter who serves as the leader, a skilled pilot, a martial artist who is also trained in scuba-diving, a medical expert who is by no means a slouch in combat, and a professional athlete. They are later joined by the medical expert's brother whose intimate knowledge of the demon world proves useful in stopping them.
• Combat Pragmatist: The Lightspeed Rangers rely more on firearms than melee combat compared to most other Ranger teams.
• Contrasting Sequel Main Character: While the Galaxy Rangers were space explorers, the Lightspeed Rangers' adventures are set entirely on Earth. The Galaxy Rangers were chosen by mystical forces while the Lightspeed Rangers were recruited by a government-funded operation. The Galaxy Rangers' powers were magical in nature while the Lightspeed Rangers' powers are a product of science.
• Transformation Trinket:
  • The core five Rangers use the Rescue Morphers to morph.
  • The Titanium Ranger uses the Titanium Morpher to morph.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: Played with. The team in GoGoV were five siblings and their mentor was their father. Only Dana and Ryan (the latter of which is ironically a Canon Foreigner) are siblings and their father, Captain Mitchell, is the team's mentor. The others are completely unrelated.

Carter Grayson / Red Lightspeed Ranger

Guest Appearances: Power Rangers Time Force | Power Rangers Wild Force | Power Rangers Mega Force

You'd think they'd have learned they can't beat the Power Rangers.

Carter was a firefighter when Lightspeed recruited him into becoming a Ranger. Having already seen a demon monster during an assignment, he agreed to the opportunity, and became the Red Lightspeed Ranger.

---

• All-American Face: He's a square-jawed blond leader figure who works a heroic profession.
• Baritone of Strength: Has a deep and commanding voice, and is a grade-A badass.
• Combat Pragmatist: On his first day as a Ranger, the first thing he does is try to run over the Batlings and the demon using the Humvee, and brings a gun to shoot down mooks in "Forever Red" (thus averting Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him?). This is most likely a reflection of his work as a firefighter as he has to make very quick but calculated decisions in dangerous situations.
• Deadpan Snarker: Not as much as Diabolico, but still has his moments.
• Determinator: "My Megazord's down, but I'm not!"
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: In the finale, he one-shots Bansheera, the queen of demonkind.
• "Groundhog Day" Loop: Went back in time while riding the M.A.V. (Mobile Armored Vehicle) in "Yesterday Again".
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: He has blonde hair and is a very generous, affable person.
• Heroic Fire Rescue: Introduced as a member of a team of firefighters saving people.
• Law of Chromatic Superiority: Zig-Zagged. He gets a special sidecar add-on to his bike first, but Joel and Chad get their Super Modes ahead of him. Then he gets a second bike that doubles as its own Super Mode.
• Mythology Gag: Carter's a firefighter similar to his sentai counterpart.
• The Leader: He's the Red Ranger of this team, so he calls the shots on the field.
• Nice Guy: If Steve Rogers was a Power Ranger, he’d be Carter Grayson.
• '90s Hair: "Curtained hair", to be specific, kinda like Leonardo DiCaprio's in Titanic, or Nick Carter's 90s hairstyle.
• Red Is Heroic: Carter is recruited by Captain Mitchell to become the Red Lightspeed Ranger and leader of the Lightspeed Rangers.
• Ship Tease: With Dana.

I don't have to prove myself to anyone. I know who I am.

Chad was a performer at a local marine park who also studied martial arts when Lightspeed recruited him into becoming a Ranger. He agreed to the opportunity, and became the Blue Lightspeed Ranger.

---

• Animal Lover: Chad had just completed one of his whale shows at a theme park when he was approached by Lightspeed agents to take him to the Aquabase.
• The Big Guy: He's the tallest of the Rangers and the most adept at hand to hand combat. Whereas the other Rangers have to use their weapons to destroy their robotic counterparts, Chad defeats his double with his bare hands.
• Blue Is Heroic: Chad is recruited by Captain Mitchell to become the Blue Lightspeed Ranger.
• The Cast Show Off: His actor, Mike Chat, is a very skilled martial artist and producers really were sure to showcase his abilities, specially in episodes focused on him.
• Guns Akimbo: Chad can fire a blaster with each hand in combat when he needs to.
• I Know Karate: Mike Chat is a professional martial artist, so Chad's a skilled hand-to-hand combatant.
• Interspecies Romance: Had a Girl of the Week love interest in Marina, a mermaid.
• Kill It with Ice: His Mega Battle Gear projects cold upon enemies.
• Martial Pacifist: Chad isn't a violent man—he only fights when he really has to. The folder quote is Chad's response to an angry punk goading him into a street fight; in the end, he simply humiliates the guy by tripping him a few times.
• Oblivious to Love: Kelsey showed obvious signs of being interested in him, he seemed completely clueless.
• Odd Friendship: With Kelsey. Pretty reminiscent of the friendship between Billy and Trini from the Mighty-Morphin' days. Coincidentally (or not), the color of their respective suits match that of Billy and Trini.
• The Quiet One: Shares this trope with Ryan.
• Super Mode: He gets a Mega Battle Armor along with Joel in "The Mighty Mega-Battles"; his has an ice gun.
• Take My Hand!: In a scene conveying separation rather than danger, Chad keeps his hand extended for a while, trying to get Marina to come back to him after she's forced to return to the ocean.
• Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Has dark hair, is the tallest male character, and even romanced a mermaid.
• Two First Names: Chad and Lee are pretty common first names (though Lee can be a common East Asian surname).

Carter: Why do you always have to be the center of attention?

Joel: Well, I don't have to be, it's just that I usually am.

Joel was a stunt flyer know as the "Sky Cowboy" when Lightspeed recruited him into becoming a Ranger. While reluctant after what he thought was kidnapping, he agreed to the opportunity, and became the Green Lightspeed Ranger.

---

• Ace Pilot: A stunt pilot before being recruited, nicknamed the Sky Cowboy.
• All Love Is Unrequited: With Ms. Fairweather, for most of the series.
• Arbitrary Skepticism: Joel initially doesn't believe Captain Mitchell's claims concerning a demonic invasion despite Earth being under attack by forces both alien and mystical in nature multiple times.
• Casanova Wannabe: Joel is a chick magnet, thanks to his showboating, but when it comes to Ms. Fairweather, pretty much all his efforts strike out.
• Character Development: At the start of the series, Joel is a real arrogant prick. He is brash, insensitive, thinks he knows everything better than the people in charge and likes to act on his own rather than using teamwork. He also seems to think he is irresistible to women, acting like Ms. Fairweather is already his girlfriend. As the series progresses, Joel becomes more humble, more of a team player and his behavior around Ms. Fairweather turns from jerky to dorky.
• Emerald Power: Joel is recruited by Captain Mitchell to become the Green Lightspeed Ranger.
• The Lancer: He is second-in-command of the Lightspeed Rangers, and contrasts Carter's gravitas by being a cocky joker.
• Leap and Fire: Joel often fires his gun while in the process of jumping and flipping.
• Official Couple: He eventually gets together with Ms. Fairweather towards the end of the series.
• Plucky Comic Relief: Between his skirt chasing, egotism and occasional goldbricking he's the least serious of the Lightspeed Rangers. That said, he's no pushover in a fight.
• Red Baron: Joel is known as "The Sky Cowboy" due to his aerial stunts and western apparel.
• Refusal of the Call: In the first episode, his response to being summoned and learning about the demons is outrage, and dismissing Captain Mitchell as nuts. He does change his mind after seeing the Demon's attacking Mariner Bay though.
• Super Mode: He gets a Mega Battle Armor along with Chad in "The Mighty Mega-Battles"; his has a pizza cutter circular saw.
• Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Hot stunt pilot with a smile that could melt any heart, including Ms. Fairweather's at the end of the season.

Kelsey Winslow / Yellow Lightspeed Ranger

"Crazy" is my middle name.

Kelsey was a professional rock climber and sports enthusiast when Lightspeed recruited her into becoming a Ranger. She agreed to the opportunity, and became the Yellow Lightspeed Ranger.

---

• Action Girl: She's introduced doing rock climbing on a tough mountainside cliff doing extreme sports prior to becoming a Power Ranger, being the reason she Jumped at the Call.
• Ambiguously Gay: She has some 'traditional' masculine attributes, and is about as Ambiguously Gay as you used to get on Power Rangers. She was quite friendly with a woman she met in one of her early episodes as well.
• Cute Bruiser: She's pretty, and pretty good when it comes to on your feet combat.
• Gun Twirling: On occasion, she twirls her blaster pistol after firing it.
• Heroes Love Dogs: In one episode, Kelsey shows some brief affection for a dog she rescues from traffic.
• Identical Granddaughter: As young woman, Kesey's grandmother looked just like her.
• Inadequate Inheritor: It's implied her grandmother considered her this in "The Fifth Crystal." The titular crystal seems to have been a family heirloom passed down by the women in Kelsey's family, with Grandma Winslow saying she got it from her mom and so on. However, she gives no indication she ever planned on passing it down to Kelsey since this appears to be the first time Kelsey's informed of the tradition.
• Kid-Appeal Character: Youngest of the group, hot-headed, slightly immature ^note best illustrated when she taunted Chad's sensei behind his back, only to turn tail when he noticed, and colored in Yellow.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Kelsey sometimes attacks monsters without a strategy, which gets her hospitalized on one occasion.
• Lightning Bruiser: Kelsey is one of the faster-moving Rangers and puts a lot of power behind her blows in a fight.
• "Metaphor" Is My Middle Name: At one point claims that "crazy" is her middle name.
• Odd Friendship: With Chad. He's a calm and focused martial artist. She's an enthusiastic sport junkie. They may not seem very compatible, but they're one of the closer friends between all the rangers.
• Passionate Sports Girl: The first time we see her, she's doing some rock climbing. And when Chad teaches her some martial arts techniques, she returns the favor by teaching him to rollerblade.
• Perpetual Smiler: Kelsey is almost always seen with a smile on her face. It's actually a bit Out of Character for her to be not smiling for more than a few seconds at a time.
• Primary-Color Champion: Kelsey is recruited by Captain Mitchell to become the Yellow Lightspeed Ranger.
• Rollerblade Good: Kelsey travels around on roller-skates when she's not in costume or mountain-climbing.
• Secretly Wealthy: Turns out to be from a very rich family but prefers a more "down to Earth" lifestyle and the conflict with her wealthy grandmother about that attitude kept them apart for years.
• She's a Man in Japan: Her original version, GoYellow was Daimon Tatsumi, a male policeman.
• Ship Tease: With Chad at times. The look on her face with another girl shows interest in him is one of jealousy, but she's such a good friend that she offers to show him how to talk to girls (likely asking him to practice with her).
  • There's a bit of subtext as well with her friend Nancy.
• Tank-Top Tomboy: Kelsey is an extreme sports enthusiast and Action Girl who generally wears tank tops.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Dana's Girly Girl.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: She apparently had this relationship with her grandmother. In "The Fifth Crystal", their relationship is revealed to be strained because Grandma Winslow's a rather cold woman, even though she used to be a lot like Kelsey when she was young. After Kelsey's tricked into giving the bad guys the fifth Starlight Crystal, Grandma Winslow blisteringly reveals how disappointed she is in Kelsey. Thankfully, the two mend fences by the end of the episode.

Dana Mitchell / Pink Lightspeed Ranger

Dana Mitchell / Pink Lightspeed Ranger

Portrayed by: Alison MacInnis

Voiced by: Adriana Casas (Latin American Spanish dub), Yuka Shioyama (Japanese dub)

Guest Appearances: Power Rangers Time Force | Power Rangers Mega Force

Captain Mitchell: For years, I've been training you to become the Pink Power Ranger. And after today, I know I couldn't have been more right.

Dana was the daughter of Captain Mitchell, and already worked at Lightspeed when the demons reemerged. While she was sent to recruit the four candidates into becoming Power Rangers, she was unknowingly the fifth and final candidate by her father, and joined them as the Pink Lightspeed Ranger.

---

• Acquired Situational Narcissism: When she was the Glitz Girl in "In the Limelight". Near the end of the episode, Dana realizes her mistake and genuinely feels bad, subsequently ditching her modeling (finding that it really wasn't for her) and everything going back to normal.
• Badass Bookworm: She's book-smart and knows how to play chess, but Dana is a competent Pink ranger.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Joel found that out the hard way when he goofily pressed a bunch of buttons causing some kind of emergency. Dana never said a word but was clearly royally pissed off as she gave a terrifying Death Glare to Joel as she quickly deactivated whatever he did and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and dragged him into their meeting with Captain Mitchell. He quickly went quiet and stopped horsing around, at least until the meeting was over.
  • Memorase also got a taste of that in their battle. A Monster of the Week that effortlessly dispatched all five Rangers and then wiped their memories. She put up a better fight against Memorase than anyone had to that point.
• Combat Medic: In addition to being a ranger, she has medical and combat training and wants to be a doctor.
• Feet-First Introduction: The first shot of Dana shows her feet as she goes to brief her father about the demos escaping from their tomb.
• Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: During "The Fate of Lightspeed", she snaps her father out of his Heroic BSoD and helps him escape the destruction of Lightspeed Aquabase.
• Improbable Age: She is about 18 years old, yet her father has apparently raised her to be a Ranger since she was a little girl.
• Ms. Fanservice: It's relatively subdued, but Dana wears a skirt and fairly tight blouse in most of her un-morphed scenes and has a bikini scene or two as well. She also wears flattering tank tops in a few of the later episodes.
• Mythology Gag: Dana's a paramedic similar to her sentai counterpart.
• Not So Above It All: Is seen celebrating with the other Rangers after their victory over Ghouligan (who they all thought was Diabolico).
• Odd Name Out: Dana is the first pink Ranger not to have a name starting with "k" or "c."
• Pink Heroine: Dana was assigned by her father, Captain Mitchell to assemble four of the five members of the Lightspeed Rangers. Unbeknownst to her, Captain Mitchell trained and chose her to become the Pink Lightspeed Ranger.
• Quickly-Demoted Leader: Was the unofficial team leader in the first two episodes, due to her vast experience and knowledge of the Lightspeed program and was second-in-command to Captain Mitchell, from episode three onward, Carter was the team leader and by episode five wasn't even the Number Two anymore.
• Ship Tease: The episode "The Last Ranger", Carter's memories involved him spending time with Dana and what appeared to be going on a date with her.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Kelsey's Tomboy.
• When She Smiles: Dana is generally one of the more serious Rangers, but has a pretty beaming smile.

Ryan Mitchell / Titanium Lightspeed Ranger

Ryan Mitchell / Titanium Ranger

Portrayed by: Rhett Fisher

Guest Appearances: Power Rangers Time Force | Power Rangers Mega Force^note In Costume only, Non-Speaking

Years ago, Captain Mitchell was in a car accident that left him, Dana, and his son Ryan hanging for their life on a cliff. To keep his son from falling from his death, Mitchell reluctantly agreed to have Diabolico save Ryan at the cost of not seeing him until he turned 20.

Years later, Ryan reemerged from the demon world and stole the experimental Titanium Morpher to fight against the Rangers. However, after learning the truth from Captain Mitchell, Ryan defected from the demons and joined his father's Ranger team.

---

• Big Damn Heroes: In "Ryan's Destiny", he helps rescue a mother and her two children by throwing the feather away just before it explodes. Later, he saves the other five Rangers from three demons trying to kill them.
• Canon Foreigner: Due to GoGoV unusually only having five Rangers throughout the series, the production team added a new helmet and shoulder pads to a recolored Turboranger suit to make a Sixth Ranger.
• Commuting on a Bus: After Bansheera's return, he takes off to find a way to defeat her and the other demons. He still made sporadic appearances every now and then, and returned in time for the final battle.
• Decomposite Character: The closest thing GoGoV had to a Sixth Ranger was Demon Hunter Zeek, who wound up passing his powers on to the GoGoV's recurring ally Kyoko Hayase (though she lost those powers). Kyoko's original role (that of a space shuttle pilot rescued by the Rangers) became Nancy Cooper, while her assisting the team with technical issues basically went to Miss Fairweather.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: In "Ryan's Destiny", Ryan tells his father that he's leaving Mariner Bay to find out who he really is. By the end of the episode, Ryan eventually decides to return to the city and help his friends.
• Determinator: Ryan doesn't let something like a painful and fatal curse slow him down for long.
• Evil Laugh: Much like Tommy's, in fact. Must be an evil Ranger thing.
• Fuel Meter of Power: The snake on Ryan's back, which moved closer to his neck the more he used his Ranger powers.
• Heel–Face Turn: He starts off as Diabolico's minion, but once he realizes he's been lied to, he quits. A brief bit of soul-searching leads him to join the Rangers.
• I'm Your Worst Nightmare: Ryan's response when Dana asks him who he is in "From Deep in the Shadows".
• Irony: He has no Sentai counterpart despite the fact he is Dana's brother. In GoGoV, all the Rangers are siblings.
• Long-Lost Relative: He's Dana's brother.
• Mark of the Beast: Was given a deadly snake tattoo by Diabolico during his Heel–Face Turn.
• Metallic Motifs: Ryan snuck into Lightspeed Rescue stole an experimental Titanium Morpher was from the Aquabase. He used it to become the Titanium Ranger and try to destroy the Rangers. Diabolico had raised him to despise his father for not saving him, and Ryan was out for vengeance. When he learned the truth - that his father did indeed love him, and did everything he could to try and save him, Ryan left Diabolico's side and joined Lightspeed as the Titanium Ranger.
• Mr. Fanservice: Complete with more than one scene where he conveniently goes shirtless.
• Oh, Crap!: He has this moment when he realizes that one of the feathers he gave to a young boy is about to explode at sunset during the finale of "Ryan's Destiny".
• Poor Communication Kills: As someone raised by the demons, Ryan knows more about them than anyone. He just never bothers telling anyone that, say, Diabolico wasn't the demons' head honcho (though, to be fair, he believed Queen Bansheera to have been destroyed until she appeared halfway through the season).
• The Quiet One: Shares the position of character with least dialogue with Chad.
• Real Life Writes the Plot: The reason he only appeared in a handful of episodes in the second half of the season was because it was starting to become too expensive to shoot new U.S. exclusive footage with the Titanium Ranger each episode.
• Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Everyone thought he died in the car crash. Except for Captain Mitchell, who remembers watching in horror as Diabolico's spirit comes in to save Ryan from falling to his death from the cliff — only to raise him so that he would fight against his father and sister.
• The Sixth Ranger: The first one to be exclusive to the American series.
• Story-Breaker Power: Ryan was powerful enough to take on three monsters at the same time ^note monsters whom the core five Rangers struggled with when fighting them one at a time. Even by Sixth Ranger standards, this is impressive. It's no surprise that Diabolico immediately tries to have him taken out of commission once he officially switched to the good guys' side.
• Swiss-Army Weapon: His Titanium Laser is both a gun and an axe.
• Too Dumb to Live: When he and his father were talking, Ryan got angry and rushed him. They happened to be right next to a very steep cliff at the time. Had his father not caught onto a convenient tree root, and had Ryan not had his morpher, at least one of them would've died. Then again, Ryan was filled with rage, fed by Diabalico's lies.

The Zords

Lightspeed Rescue Zords

Lightspeed Rescue Zords/Lightspeed Megazord

The Rangers initial Zords. Aside from forming the Megazord, the Lightspeed Rescue Zords are used for emergency situations.

  • Haz Rescue 4 is based on a hazmat truck.
• Combining Mecha: Five Resuce Zords that combine into the Lightspeed Megazord. Alternatively, Aqua Rescue 2 can combine with the Haz Rescue 4 and Med Rescue 5 to form the Hydro Mode, a pair of walking legs that is used as fire control.

Rail Rescues

Rail Rescue Zords/Supertrain Megazord

A set of train Zords that carry the Zords into battle. Later, Ms. Fairweather upgraded them to form the Supertrain Megazord.

---

• Awesome, but Impractical: While it's larger and more powerful than the Zords it carries, the Supertrain Megazord requires a lot of power to operate, and overloads would often harm the Rangers. That is, until Ms. Fairweather stabilized the Megazord's power output.
• Awesome Personnel Carrier: A set of train Zords that carry the Lightspeed Rescue Zords into Mariner Bay. Later, they carry the Omega Zords.
• Combining Mecha: Five train Zords that combine into one gigantic Megazord.
• Cool Train: Its a set of train Zords that form into a gigantic Megazord. How much cooler can it get?!
• Finishing Move: Turbine Supercharge: After the train-head-formed weapons go onto the Megazord's fists, it charges the weapons with energy before pressing against the Demon with energy blasts from Rail Rescue 1's train head and a barrage of missiles from Rail Rescue 2's train head.
• Gatling Good: The Gatling Blaster on the Supertrain Megazord's right shoulder fires like there is no tomorrow.
• Humongous Mecha: Out of all the Megazords the Lightspeed Rangers have, this one is the biggest.
• Killed Off for Real: Destroyed in Rise of the Super Demons.
• Macross Missile Massacre: On the Megazord's left shoulder, it features a missile launcher that fires missiles. It also stores freeze missiles.

Max Solarzord

Max Solarzord

The Titanium Ranger's Zord.

---

• Ascended Extra: Went from a sentient auxiliary Mecha in GoGo V, to Ryan's personal Zord.
• Attack Reflector: Thanks to the solar panels on the Megazord's body, the Lightspeed Solarzord can absorb the Demon's attacks and use it for the finishing move.
• Cool Starship: The Max Solarzord's secondary vehicle form is a shuttle.
• Cool Train: The Max Solarzord's default form is a bullet train.
• Demoted to Extra:
  • In GoGo V, Liner Boy was a sentient Mecha that spoke with the team and had a bond with them. Here it is relegated to a non-sentient Zord to Ryan.
  • Once Ryan leaves the team, the Max Solarzord is relegated to support or when the Rangers need the Lightspeed Solarzord.
• Finishing Move:
  • Max Solarzord: With its shield, the Max Solarzord fires a barrage of lasers to destroy a Demon.
  • Lightspeed Solarzord: At full power, the Lightspeed Solarzord fires a massive barrage of energy lasers at the Demon until it explodes.
• Killed Off for Real: Destroyed in Rise of the Super Demons.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Its main weapon is a shield that has a blaster attached to the front.
• Mecha Expansion Pack: The Max Solarzord can combine with the Lightspeed Megazord to form the Lightspeed Solarzord.
• The Power of the Sun: The Max Solarzord, and by extension the Lightspeed Solarzord, is fully powered by the sun thanks to the solar panels coated on its body.
• Transforming Mecha: The Max Solarzord can transform from bullet train, to shuttle, to Warrior Mode.
• Unusual Weapon Mounting: The two main cannons of the Lightspeed Solarzord are attached to the Megazord's hips.

Omega Zords

Omega Zords/Omega Megazord

The Ranger's third set of Zords. They are based on spaceships.

---

• Boom Stick: The Omega Staff is a spear that fires a missile at its opponent, which is usually step one in the finisher.
• Combining Mecha: Five spaceship Zords that combine into one Megazord. They can also combine into the Omega Crawler, which is usually step one of the Omega Megazord formation.
• Cool Starship: Unlike the Rescue Zords, the Omega Zords are based on spaceships.
• Death by Adaptation: Unlike Victory Mars, the Omega Megazord does not survive at the end of the season.
• Finishing Move:
  • Omega Megazord: After firing the Omega Missile at the Demon, the Omega Megazord destroys them with two energy slashes.
  • Orion Omega Megazord: With the combined power of the Lights of Orion, the Omega Megazord slashes at the Demon with the Omega Staff and the Galaxy Megazord Saber.
• Grand Theft Me: In The Fate of Lightspeed, Jinxer and a group of Batlings stole the Omega Megazord and used it to set up the ritual site for the Skull Cavern to rise onto Mariner Bay.
• Killed Off for Real: Destroyed in The Fate of Lightspeed.

Lifeforce Megazord

Lifeforce Megazord

The Ranger's fourth Megazord. It was created with the ability to draw from the Rangers' life force to increase its power.

---

• Adaptational Context Change In GoGo V, the Max Victory Robo Black Version was powered by the team's mental energy. Here, it's their Life Energy.
• Ascended Extra: Max Victory Robo Black Version appeared in one episode of GoGo V, which was the last episode. Here, the Lifeforce Megazord appears in three episodes.
• Awesome, but Impractical: The Lifeforce Megazord was potentially more powerful than any Megazord the Rangers' have, but its power source is to draw from the Rangers' Life Energy, making it a weapon of very last resort. The Rangers are forced to use it when all of the other Megazords were either destroyed or disabled in the final fight against Diabolico and Olympius.
• Cool Sword: Its main weapon is a red and blue repaint of the Lightspeed Megazord Saber.
• Death by Adaptation: Unlike Max Victory Robo Black Version, the Lifeforce Megazord does not survive at the end of the season.
• Finishing Move: After the Rangers charge their life energy into the saber, the Megazord delivers a devastating double golden energy slash at the Demon.
• Grand Theft Me: In The Fate of Lightspeed, a group of Batlings stole the Lifeforce Megazord and used it to demolish the Aquabase.
• Killed Off for Real: Destroyed in The Fate of Lightspeed.
• Life Energy: How the Lifeforce Megazord works. It draws from the Rangers' life energy to increase its power.
• Palette Swap: The Lifeforce Megazord is basically the Lightspeed Solarzord in black and gold wielding the Lightspeed Megazord's sword in red and blue. Though apparently, it cannot detach into separate Zords.

Allies

Captain William Mitchell

Captain William Mitchell

Portrayed by: Ron Roggé

Voiced by: César Soto (Latin American Spanish dub), Masashi Hirose (Japanese dub)

The captain and head of the Lightspeed Aquabase, Mitchell served as the Rangers mentor and occasional mission commander. At one point in his life, he was a former firefighter, and at one point, he rescued Carter as a boy.

• Big Good: Leader of Lightspeed Rescue.
• The Captain: He serves as the Aquabase's captain.
• Heroic BSoD: He goes through a brief one during "The Fate of Lightspeed" when Jinxer uses the Lifeforce Megazord to destroy Lightspeed Aquabase.
• Retired Badass: He used to be a firefighter. In "A Face from the Past" he demonstrates that, despite being retired, he still got the skills for the job. He was the firefighter who saved Carter as a kid and inspired him to become a firefighter himself.
• Rugged Scar: Captain Mitchell has a prominent scar to the left of his nose, which helps emphasize his status as a veteran rescue worker who constantly braves danger.
• Skewed Priorities: He made a couple of errors in judgement early on, but he made up for it.
• Team Dad: Literally and figuratively. He's Dana and Ryan's father, and was a major inspirational and guidance figure for Carter in particular.
• The Only Way They Will Learn: At times, it can be a bit frustrating when he doesn't always give straight answers, especially when he is being vague. But in the end, he does want the Rangers to learn and to think for themselves. Notable examples:
  • In "A Matter of Trust", rather than letting her go with the rest of the team on a mission, he sends Dana on an seemingly unimportant errand to pick up a fishing buddy of his. Naturally, she gets mad since he doesn't explain why right then and there. But then... perhaps it was best that she and the team find out later that his friend was the one who was actually carrying the real fuel cell — while her friends were guarding (albeit, unknowingly at first) a decoy. Why, you might ask? Well, since he planned for the other four Rangers to act as distractions, to help buy time, they had to do their job very well to pull it off; and to do that, they had to act naturally (by thinking they have the real fuel cell) and as if they are guarding the real thing — that way, they don't look suspicious. Think of it as being akin to Enforced Method Acting. And boy were Vypra and her henchmen in for a surprise when they find out too late that they've been chasing after the wrong car. More importantly, however, Dana learns that sometimes you just have to go with your gut when some answers just aren't always obvious or when some things just seem to defy logic.
  • In, "Trial By Fire", Carter gets the fastest time on the stopwatch but the lowest score during a training session. He begins to question his abilities as a Ranger and starts losing confidence. Later in the episode, Carter gets mad at first when he is told, without explanation, to put out the fire first before rescuing a kid. Turns out, there was some combustible gas in the building, which could have exploded and killed a lot of people. He then goes back to re-examine his training spots, where he [blindly] shot targets and sees that a lot of his shots had landed dangerously on, you guessed it, combustible materials. The advice he was given after the training session that sometimes the obvious decision is the wrong one suddenly made sense. Overconfidence seems to have gotten to Carter for a while there and it almost impaired his good judgement. From then on, and thanks in part to Captain Mitchell, we see Carter consistently keeping a cool head for most of the season.
    • There is also the fact that he got on his case because Carter is a FIREFIGHTER and while blasters are not exactly on a firefighter's list of tools, a one-second scan of the surrounding area should have hinted that combustible materials were even in the vicinity and could cause even more damage, something he should have been trained for.

Dr. Angela Fairweather

Dr. Angela Fairweather

Portrayed by: Monica Louwerens

Voiced by: Belinda Martínez (Latin American Spanish dub), Yumi Fukamizu (Japanese dub)

The head scientist of Lightspeed and the main creator of the Lightspeed Ranger powers, weapons, and Zords.

---

• Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Downplayed. She's generally professional without being cold... unless she's talking to her would-be suitor, Joel.
• Berserk Button: Do not insult her craft. Joel learned the hard way when they first met.
  The next time mister "Sky Cowboy" wants to overload his engines and explode, this "dilatron computer geek" will JUST LET HIM!
• Decomposite Character: In GoGoV Professor Tatsumi was both The Mentor and the inventor of the team's technology. Here, these roles are split between Captain Mitchell and Miss Fairweather.
  • Miss Fairweather also takes on Kyoko's role as "woman who helps fix the team's tech"; as stated above, Kyoko's direct counterpart here was Nancy Cooper and her (temporary) status as Sixth Ranger went to Ryan.
• Number Two: She serves as Mitchell's second-in-command at the Aquabase.
• Official Couple: She gets together with Joel towards the end of the series. They are married when we next see them in Time Force.
• Only One Name: For the first half of the season, she's simply known as "Miss Fairweather." She's finally given the name "Angela" by her brother Clark.

Marina

Marina

Portrayed by: Kamera Walton

A mermaid princess and daughter of King Neptune. She is a love interest to Chad, who has helped her more than once.

---

• But Now I Must Go: Twice in her episodes, Marina is forced to go back to the sea even though she wants to be with Chad.
• Our Mermaids Are Different: Her mermaid form is what you'd expect after watching the Little Mermaid.
• Unwitting Pawn: She was tricked by Vypra in Ocean Blue to capture Chad.

The Demons

General

The Demons

These monsters formerly overran the planet. They were imprisoned ages ago, but have returned to take back what they think is their rightful territory. They also seek to restore their leader, Queen Bansheera, who is trapped in a an ethereal state.

---

• Adaptation Species Change: Power Ranger's first aversion; this is the first time supernatural Sentai villains stayed supernatural instead of being changed to aliens.
• Adaptational Wimp: Whereas the Psyma Clan could only be destroyed by countering their negative energy with positive energy, the Demons can be depowered by water.
• Enemy Civil War: Diabolico's death empowers Impus, turning him into Olympius. He quickly ends up at odds with his comrades, as they fail to restore his mother Bansheera. From there, a lot of backstabbing happens.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: They were initially sealed inside a crypt in an Egyptian desert 5,000 years ago. Unfortunately, the Demons were accidently released by a group of nomads mistaking the crypt for a treasure chest.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: While the demons were a family (save for Jinxer's counterpart, who was still their servant) in GoGoV, Lightspeed Rescue depicts only Bansheera and Impus/Olympius as blood relatives. Whereas the counterparts of Diabolico, Loki, Vypra and Impus/Olympius were all siblings (as a foil to the Ranger siblings) and the children of Bansheera's counterpart.

Leadership

Queen Bansheera

Queen Bansheera

Voiced by: Diane Salinger, Rebeca Manríquez (base voice, Latin American Spanish dub), Isabel Romo (eps. 37-40, Latin American Spanish dub), Yumi Fukamizu (Japanese dub)

The evil matriarch of the demons who directed them into her bidding.

---

• Adaptational Nice Girl: And that's only because none of her subordinates she eventually executes (sans Olympius) are her children.
• Abusive Parent: Who else would think that letting their own child rot in this season's equivalent to hell was a deserved punishment for failing too many times?
• Adaptational Badass: Her counterpart, Grandienne, was (at least physically) destroyed by the GoGoV before the series finale. Instead of her, a revived Salamandes and Zylpheeza served as the final opponents (though they were controlled by Grandienne's spirit during that fight; this explains why her face appears to explode in space following the defeat of the super demons here). In Lightspeed Rescue, Bansheera uses what would have been the finishing blow to escape and outlives the final battle with Diabolico and Olympius, and she's only stopped when Diabolico's vengeful spirit drops her into a pit of bloodthirsty monsters that completely overwhelm her.
• Adaptational Jerkass: Not that Grandiene wasn't just as vile, but Bansheera lacks the paranoia of being betrayed as a motivation of her cruelty and at least Grandiene didn't absorb her own daughter to get her One-Winged Angel form, nor planned to unleash a horde of demons into the world.
• Bad Boss: One of the worst bosses in Power Rangers history and the first that never subverts it in any way shape or form. From the way she forces Diabolico to kill Loki to her consuming Vypra to fully reform, it's clear that she doesn't give one errant fuck about her subjects, her own son included. It's no wonder the last we see of her is her being brutalized by the demons in the Tomb of Forever.
• Big Bad: The main antagonist of the series.
• Big "NO!": She screams this as Diabolico helped free Red Ranger from her grasp by blasting her back into the tomb.
• Body Horror: Her return to corporeal form doesn't entirely succeed, leaving her as a deformed blob. She actually takes it pretty well, all things considered.
• Broken Pedestal: Diabolico swears off loyalty to her after she forced him to shoot at Loki in an attempt to destroy the Rangers.
• Dark Action Girl: While less active in combat than her followers, she's the most powerful demon in the show.
• The Dreaded: Ryan expresses restrained terror when Bansheera's spirit makes her presence known to the rangers, claiming she's worse than 10 Diabolicos.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: To her credit, she initially does show affection to her baby Impus when she sees him for the first time. But her attitude towards him changes after he grows into Prince Olympius and fails her too many times.
• Evil Laugh: Oh she definitely has one, and it's just as vile as the rest of her personality.
• Fate Worse than Death: In the finale, Diabolico's spirit dropped Bansheera into the Shadow World, where she was last seen getting beaten to a pulp by legions of demons for all eternity.
• Faux Affably Evil: When not being an abusive boss, she can talk to enemy or subordinate alike civilly, though clearly insincere and cold hearted inwards. Just count how many times she formally refers to Impus/Olympius as "My Son" when she speaks to and about him and her complimentary "good work" when she saw that he escaped from the Shadow World and managed to capture Diabolico when she cruelly dismissed his fate earlier and you can tell that she's only kind to him so long as he stays in her good graces.
• Femme Fatalons: Gained these in her final form.
• For the Evulz: The finale reveals her goal in building her palace is for a ritual where she will release an army of monsters on the world and watch the destruction that ensues.
• God Save Us from the Queen!: She's the Queen of the Demons and is so cruel, she makes all the other demons feel like angels by comparison.
• Hate Sink: Before her, the main villains of Power Rangers, while not above mistreating their underlings, at least have some form of laughable and redeemable traits in their otherwise evil personalities. Bansheera is the first Big Bad to defy any good quality, going to great lengths to be reviled in many ways, especially when it comes to her treatment towards her demons. (Including her own son) Her being sent down the demon chest by a reformed Diabolico and beaten up eternally by the demons is well deserved.
• Hidden Villain: In her early appearances. None of the heroes besides Ryan even knew she existed before she revealed herself to them.
• It's All About Me: In case it isn't clear, anyone who is not named Queen Bansheera and anything not related to the restoration of her palace is of zero concern.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: There had been some instances where it seemed that for all her evil, she at least treats her son Impus right, to the point where she threatens to (and actually does after his first death) give him Diabolico's Star Power. However, her true feelings for her son are revealed after constant failures. When Olympius is trapped in the Shadow World by Diabolico, it seems like she's angry at him for it, but once Diabolico confirms it, cue the Evil Laugh.
• Knight of Cerebus: Unlike previous villains in the franchise, NOTHING about her and what she does is Played for Laughs. Whenever she takes center stage, the comedy level instantly drops to zero.
• Lack of Empathy: Even the other demons showed some form of concern for one another, while Bansheera treats all of her minions as pawns and not even her son being banished to the Shadow World caused any reaction other than a cruel laugh. They don't even like Olympius and yet even they're disturbed by this.
  • This comes into play when Diabolico's spirit arrives during the finale. She assumes he's there to help her despite the fact that she forced him to kill his best friend Loki and has generally treated him and every demon not named "Bansheera" like garbage. He isn't.
• Meaningful Name: Is capable of actually emitting a sonic wail like a banshee (though she only does this once). She even laughs like one too.
• Nightmare Face: In her true form, she has a demon-like face that makes her horrifying.
• No-Nonsense Nemesis: Her first action on returning was to try and wipe out Mariner Bay with a tidal wave. Only Ryan stopping the summoning ceremony foiled it.
• One-Winged Angel: She becomes this after absorbing Vypra near the end of the series.
• Orcus on His Throne: Justified. She doesn't do anything directly against the Rangers until the very end of the season, but it's because she can't. The Rangers interrupted the demons' ritual to bring her back, leaving her in a deformed, far less powerful body. In fact, the moment she almost came into being during the ritual, she very nearly destroyed the city with a tidal wave as the first thing she did. It is not until she absorbs Vypra in "Wrath of the Queen" that she regains her full body and powers, and it is then she begins to take a far more active role in achieving her goals.
• Person of Mass Destruction: If the ritual to restore her hadn't been foiled, she would've destroyed the city within moments of manifesting.
• Shoulders of Doom: She has what look like masses of crystals serving as shoulders in her final form.
• The Sociopath: Being the first Big Bad to be this, she has an extreme lack of care for anyone except herself, seeing her minions and even her own son only as expendable pawns. She doesn't even bat an eyelid to their deaths , yet expects her subjects to be loyal and grateful to her while giving nothing in return.
• The Unfettered: Unlike her underlings (even her own son has positive traits like genuine love for her), all that matters to her is her palace and the chaos and destruction that she intends to unleash, and will gladly sacrifice all of them to achieve it.
• To Create a Playground for Evil: Unlike past villains, she has no interest in conquest. Her reason for wanting to create her palace is for a ritual where she would summon all of the monsters from the Shadow World so she can witness the destruction that would ensue on Earth.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: After returning, she's mostly reasonable for someone stuck in a horrifying half-form. It takes her son failing a few times before she really starts getting nasty.
• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Considering how the Power Rangers franchise is known for its over-the-top cheesiness, she really stands out as a particularly depraved baddie. Next to Venjix, Octomus, and the reboot film version of Rita Repulsa, she's one of the most horrible villains ever seen in the brand.
• The Man Behind the Man: For Diabolico. In fact the Rangers didn't even know Diabolico wasn't the Big Bad until she reveals herself and Ryan revealed who she really was.
• You Have Failed Me: This is her reasoning for taking Vypra's life energy, as well as her treatment towards her other minions. Plus, she felt Olympius deserved being stuck in the Shadow World as such.
  Bansheera: Vypra, you have failed me too many times! As punishment, I will take your life energy! I should have done this long ago.
  • She nearly pulls this on Jinxer when he explains he cannot create any more monsters until he explains he attached a Batling card to the Lifeforce Megazord that would allow an army of Batlings to invade the Aquabase. She legitimately compliments him for his cunning plan.

Diabolico

Diabolico

Voiced by: Neil Kaplan, Jorge Santos (Latin American Spanish dub), Taiten Kusunoki (Japanese dub)

A devil-like demon and the leader of the initial demon line up. His mission was to attack Mariner Bay with demons before Queen Bansheera's arrival.

---

• Adaptation Expansion: Diabolico gets more screentime after his first death and eventual resurrection (via being pulled out from the Shadow World by Loki and Vypra).
• Adaptational Heroism: After being brought Back from the Dead, Diabolico begins to use Noble Demon and Kick The Son Of A Bitch methods, such as imprisoning Olympius in the Shadow World in an attempt to reclaim the Star Power, giving Carter the Ancient Key, and as a spirit, dragged Bansheera to the Shadow World so the Demons can maul her to death. His Sentai counterpart, while sympathetic and redeemable, doesn't get to do much heroism.
• Avenging the Villain: An inversion. He honestly believed Bansheera would avenge him after the Rangers killed him the first time, even after she'd already proven she didn't give a damn about him. He then decides to avenge Loki against Bansheera, but at this point he isn't much a villain himself.
• Back from the Dead: Thanks to Vypra, he gets resurrected.
• Big "NO!": Diabolico yells one when Loki dies in his arms.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: When he finally does face the Rangers himself he inflicts one of the worst beatdowns on a Megazord that didn't involve totalling it, blasting a hole in the Super Train Megazord.
• Deadpan Snarker: He has his moments of making snide remarks.
• The Dog Bites Back: Bansheera's treatment causes him to start pushing back.
  • After Bansheera forces him to kill Loki and then uses his powers in an attempt to kill the Rangers, Diabolico tells Carter how to save the rest of the Rangers.
  • After getting snapped out of his brainwashing, he saves Carter from an attack by Olympius. In his own words, Diabolico hated Bansheera far more than he hates the Rangers and only wanted to see her lose.
  • In the finale, he shows up as a ghost when Bansheera is an attempting a Taking You with Me on Carter, and blasts her down into the Shadow Dimension, laughing as he has finally gotten his revenge and got to see Bansheera assaulted by the monsters she was trying to free.
• The Dragon: He's Queen Bansheera's second-in-command.
• Even Evil Has Standards: As evil as Diabolico is, he's certainly not devoid of redeeming qualities.
  • He would never turn against his comrades unless they turn against him first which is evidenced when Bansheera betrays them. He shows extreme loyalty to Loki and Vypra, the two who have stuck by him throughout the course of the series.
  • He along with the other demons are taken with shock when Bansheera tells him she doesn't care about her son, Olympus' fate.
  • He hates the Rangers and Impus/Olympius, but when Bansheera causes Loki's death, he ends up hating her more.
• Fake Boss: The Rangers thought he was the true leader of the demons when it looks like he's gone for good, they thought wrong. Interestingly, it parallels how they thought the first monster they fought was him too.
• Go Out with a Smile: Of a sort due to the limits of his costume. The last time we see him, his spirit flies down into the Shadow Dimension laughing and content since he's brought Queen Bansheera tumbling down with him to be brutalized by her mistreated subjects.
• The Heavy: He drives the plot for the first half of the season, due to Bansheera's imprisonment.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: That Star Power he was so fond of got turned against him when he blasted the Lightspeed Solarzord and it absorbed all of and sent it right back at him.
• Magic Staff: Wields a big one. He drops it when he dies.
• Manipulative Bastard: He got Ryan Mitchell on his side against the Rangers by convincing him his father was heartless towards him when in reality he tried made a deal with Diabolico to save him.
• Noble Demon: Literally. He is a demon but has some admirable qualities, most notably his loyalty to those he considers his allies.
• No-Nonsense Nemesis:
  • When Ryan leaves and joins the Rangers, what does Diabolico do? Wait a couple of episodes while he mops up D's last monsters? No. The minute Ryan joins the Rangers, Diabolico gives him a fatal curse that came within inches of killing him.
  • Then there's his fight with the Ranger's Megazords. Diabolico just unleashes everything he has at them, blowing a hole straight through the Supertrain Megazord, and sending the Rescue Megazord through several buildings.
• No-Sell: At first, nothing the Rangers had could so much as scratch him. Not even the Megazords so much as hurt him.
  Diabolico: All you've done with your pathetic attacks is make me angry.
• One-Winged Angel: Gets forcibly transformed into a more powerful form in his final battle against the Rangers.
• Orcus on His Throne: Like all traditional villainous leaders in Power Rangers. He eventually gets off it when the Rangers kill the Troika monster and spends the first half of the fight handing them their asses.
• Redemption Equals Death: Subverted, in that he could never complete his Heel–Face Turn before his death, as he was brainwashed by Bansheera into fighting the Rangers, who were forced to destroy him. Instead, he fully redeems himself after his death, when his spirit helps the Rangers defeat Bansheera.
• Rocket Punch: Possesses a similar ability — he can fire off his own hand at a target, then immediately catch up and reattach. Sadly, this was only seen once, during his fight with Olympius from "In the Freeze Zone".
• Sealed Evil in a Can: He and the other demons were imprisoned in a tomb before being set free.
• There Can Only Be One: The Star Power can only belong to one demon, and Queen Bansheera can take it from him. Fear of losing this is what motivates his attacks on the Rangers, and to his first death.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: Unlike his Sentai Counterpart, Diabolico is not related to his comrades, nor Queen Bansheera.
• Villainous Rescue: Twice. First in Rise of the Super Demons, when Carter tries to help him after he's sent flying by Olympius, Diabolico throws him out of the way of an attack by Olympius, which wounds him fatally. As a ghost, he pulls off in the finale when Bansheera is attempting to drag Carter down into the Shadow World, he returns as a ghost and blasts Carter free, causing Bansheera to fall into the Shadow World herself.
• Would Hurt a Child: He almost killed Impus to protect his job. The only reason he didn't was because Jinxer happened upon him.

Olympius

Impus / Olympius

Voiced by: Brianne Siddall (Impus)/Michael Forest (Olympius), Ana Lobo (Impus, Latin American Spanish dub)/ Martín Soto (Olympius, Latin American Spanish dub), Kenichi Mochizuki (Japanese dub)

Queen Bansheera's infant son who was under the care of the other demons. After Diabolico's death, he inherited the former's Star Power and matured into Olympius.

---

• Adaptational Badass: In the Sentai, it took several episodes for Drop to become Salamandes, spending time in a cocoon and as a human kid with fire powers. Here the cocoon hatches more-or-less immediately after Impus gets the Star Power. Subverted somewhat given we never see any attack powers as Impus and only fought after his transformation.
• Adaptation Expansion: Olympius didn't get killed after fighting the Lightspeed Rangers in their Megazords.
• Adaptational Jerkass: Olympius tries to kill Loki and Vypra when Bansheera starts to favor them more. Salamandes would never bother trying to kill Kobolda and Denus (though he did kill Zylpheeza in the penultimate episode of GoGoFive).
• The Baby of the Bunch: Definitely as Impus (being the baby son of Queen Bansheera) and cared for by Jinxer, Vypra, Loki and Diabolico (though Diabolico and in some instances Loki are not so keen on him) Jinxer and Vypra were loyal and loving towards Impus. However once he becomes Olympius, Vypra loses respect for him. Though even aging into Olympius, he seems physically around the same age as the Rangers, maybe even younger, compared to the ancient Demons.
• Cast as a Mask: After he captures four of the rangers in "Olympius Ascends", he uses their likeness to become a duplicate to infiltrate the aquabase. As such, the actors who played the rangers were used for Olympius' disguises.
• The Dragon: He is the main minion to his mother, even having a dragon theme.
• Disappeared Dad: His father, assuming he has one (for all we know, Bansheera might have created him on her own asexually), is never acknowledged.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Even though said mama doesn't love him back. In fact his genuine love for his mother is much more noticeable than his Japanese counterpart that he seems to love his mother genuinely.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Impus starts out as a harmless demon baby. Mere minutes after Diabolico dies, he absorbs his powers and becomes the Warrior Prince Olympius. He then singlehandedly routs the Rangers; the only reason he can't finish them off is because his underdeveloped powers go haywire.
• The Heavy: In the second half of the season.
• Jerkass: He isn't nice at all to his comrades, even to the point of trying to kill Loki and Vypra and not objecting at all when Bansheera brainwashes Diabolico after he defects. The only ones he's not a jerk to are his mother and (sometimes) Jinxer.
• Morality Pet: At first it seemed like he was this to his mother Bansheera who praised him to the Rangers as her heir in comparison to calling Diabolico unworthy and gave the Star Power to him when the yellow demon bit it the first time. However, it turns out that he was never a loved one to Bansheera at all, seeing him as a pawn at best and a failure at worst.
• One-Winged Angel: Twice in the course of the series. First, he manages to magically link himself to the power supply of the Aquabase, transforming into a more menacing version of his regular form. The second time, he is forcibly transformed into a giant dragon by Bansheera.
• Pet the Dog: When Olympus escapes from the Shadow World, he takes The Gatekeeper with him rather than abandoning or absorbing him.
  • He at one point genuinely thanks Jinxer for his loyalty.
• Plot-Relevant Age-Up: He quickly ages from infant Impus to adult Olympius, when Diabolico bites it.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: He's a villain whose eyes glow red.
• The Rival: He has a rivalry with Diabolico
• Scaled Up: Becomes a dragon in his final episode.
• Spared by the Adaptation: Of the "dies later" variety; Salamandes actually was destroyed in the Megazord battle and resurrected later, instead of the Non-Lethal K.O. that Olympius got. Both were Killed Off for Real at the end, though.
• Undying Loyalty: He is completely devoted to his mother, and his main goal is staying in her good graces.
• Unwitting Pawn: Unlike the others, he never realizes that his mother sees him just as expendable as her unrelated servants.
• Warrior Prince: Once he ages to Olympius, he becomes more active in combat.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Like all of his kin, to water. Shortly after getting the star power, Carter shoves him into the pool of water located in Aquabase's science lab. It takes away most of his powers, forcing him to rely on the usual Rangers villain tactics.

Generals

Loki

Loki

Voiced by: David Lodge, Jorge Ornelas (base voice, Latin American Spanish dub), Víctor Delgado (ep. 1, Latin American Spanish dub), Masashi Hirose (Japanese dub)

A fierce and loyal soldier to Diabolico.

---

• Adaptational Dumbass: Yet another Sentai brute who gets the Dumb Muscle treatment.
• Alas, Poor Villain: It's very tragic to see him be used as a pawn and tossed aside by Bansheera.
• The Brute: When in battle, he's more about brute force than strategy.
• Child Hater: Loki really doesn't like Impus. Though to be fair, he's not too fond of him when he becomes Olympius either.
• Died in Your Arms Tonight: He dies in Diabolico's arms after taking a blast meant for the Rangers.
• Dumb Muscle: He's not the brightest demon. Case in point: when Olympius offers a truce, Vypra is smart enough to question it while Loki blithely accepts it. Naturally, it's a trap, and the two are imprisoned.
• Jerkass: He's not too fond of Impus or Olympius, and is pretty vocal about it. That said he is loyal to Diabolico and was genuine friends with him and Vypra.
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: He and Vypra decided to revive Diabolico after Olympius tried getting rid of them.
• Pretentious Pronunciation: While it's spelled the same as his mythological namesake, Loki's name is pronounced as "Lo-Kai".
• Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: He's named after Loki, the Norse god of mischief. Doubles as an Ironic Name, as while the Loki from the myths was known for his cleverness and cunning, this Loki is more of a dumb brute.
• Undying Loyalty: He's incredibly loyal to Diabolico, and vice-versa.
• Unwitting Pawn: He was nothing more than a pawn in Bansheera's plans, at best. At worst, he was just collateral damage.
• Villainous Friendship: Has one with Diabolico, enough that Bansheera getting him killed as collateral prompted Diabolico's Hazy-Feel Turn.

Vypra

Vypra

Portrayed by: Jennifer Yen

Voiced by: Rocío Prado (Latin American Spanish dub), Harumi Asai (Japanese dub)

The only humanoid demon of the main group that was adept in demonic magic.

---

• Adaptation Expansion: Takes over Jinxer's role as the returning villain in the "Time for Lightspeed" crossover special. This is because Jinxer was killed off near the end of Lightspeed Rescue, while Pierre survived in the Final Battle of GoGoFive and would later come back in Timeranger VS GoGoFive as the returning villain.
• Adaptational Wimp: Unlike Denus, who regularly fought GoGoV in hand-to-hand combat, Vypra doesn't actively fight the Lightspeed Rangers that much, preferring to use her Vyprari whenever she does engage in battle.
• Badass Driver: Vypra uses a heavily armed dune buggy against the Rangers in one episode and is pretty good at outdriving them for a while.
• The Baroness: Downplayed. She's clearly attractive and enjoys making the Rangers suffer, but doesn't try to seduce anyone. She shares more of the ruthlessness of the Rosa Klebb variety.
• Classy Cat-Burglar: One episode has Vypra (wearing a ski mask and Spy Catsuit) stealing several crystals important to Bansheera's plot by cutting through an office building window, getting over a laser grid with some pulleys, and breaking into a safe.
• Cleavage Window: As seen on her armor.
• Chainmail Bikini: Her top seems to emulate this, along with matching chainmail leggings.
• Cold Ham: Of the less common variety. She's obviously trying to overact, but doesn't quite pull it off.
• Combat Stilettos: Vypra is never seen out of her high-heeled boots, and can fight fairly well in them.
• Cool Car: Her Vyprari in "Wheels of Destruction".
• Dark Action Girl: She's more active in combat than her queen.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Vypra meets her end when Bansheera absorbed her after one too many failures and would later be destroyed again by both the Lightspeed and Time Force Rangers in "Time for Lightspeed". Meanwhile, Denus killed herself by Taking the Bullet for Zylpheeza, and then gave up her life to save his by using a life-draining parasite on herself.
• Dragon Lady: She resembles a young Asian woman and her armor has a wyvern/dragon theme.
• Dull Surprise: Her attempts at hamming up are... lacking. The first time she actually emotes properly is as Bansheera is consuming her.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Vypra may hate Olympius, but when Bansheera makes it clear that she has no regard for her own son, she's taken aback.
• Expy: Of Nefaria, whereas they both villainesses who portrayed by Asian American actresses in the same points.
• Jerkass: Like Loki, she doesn't hold back when mocking Olympius for failing.
• Meaningful Name: Viper and Wyvern.
• Ms. Fanservice: One of the more blatant cases in all of Power Rangers. Fans are still split on whether it was effective. The show never plays up her looks.
• Playing with Fire: A contrast to Denus's water demon status (since in Lightspeed Rescue, the demons have a weakness towards water).
• Smug Snake: The only expression she seems capable of emoting is being smug.
• The Smurfette Principle: The only female villain other than Queen Bansheera, who isn't active until the last four episodes. True to form, Vypra's not as powerful as her comrades but she's adept at manipulation; for instance, she uses Marina in a ploy to kill Chad.
• Token Human: More precisely, Vypra is the only demon who looks remotely human.
• Undying Loyalty: She's incredibly loyal to Diabolico.
• Unexplained Recovery: She digs herself out of a grave in Time Force's "Time for Lightspeed", even though her body was absorbed by Queen Bansheera. Unless the idea is that Bansheera was killed offscreen by the other demons and Vypra dug herself out of the underworld.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Vypra often bickers with Loki, but they work well together, and she is quick to help him to his feet when Olympius knocks him down.

Jinxer

Jinxer

Voiced by: Kim Strauss, Luis Alfonso Padilla (base voice, Latin American Spanish dub), Carlos Águila (ep. 15, Latin American Spanish dub), Takuro Nakakuni (Japanese dub)

A demon-like servant for Queen Bansheera who was responsible for creating the demon monsters along with growing them.

---

• Adaptation Expansion: Inverted. He's replaced by Vypra as the returning villain in Time Force.
• Ascended Extra: After all of Bansheera's main generals were defeated/killed, Jinxer became this thanks to the fact that he still had use before he was destroyed along with the Omega Megazord.
• Dastardly Whiplash: He certainly has the mustache, the grin, the pointed nose, and the steampunk-style goggles. In "Olympius Unbound", he takes the form of a human hypnotist who plays this straight.
• Evil Genius: Much like Finster, before him, he is the smartest of the bad guys. He comes up with schemes and revives defeated monsters.
• Expy: Of Finster from Mighty Morphin, being the monster maker.
• Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Is this to Bansheera in the finale. His plan to stick a Batwing Card to the Lifeforce Megazord is what kicks off the finale and lets the Batwings invade the Aquabase, leading to its destruction. Afterwords he steals the nearly repaired Omega Megazord and uses it to set up for Bansheera's ritual.
• Make My Monster Grow: When the monsters are destroyed, he throws a card in their debris, chants an incantation, and brings them back to life as giants.
• Rhymes on a Dime: Tends to recite a rhyming couplet whenever using his cards.
• Spanner in the Works: He unwittingly prevented Diabolico from killing Impus.
• Undying Loyalty: To Olympius. On multiple occasions, Jinxer has nursed a weakened Olympius back to health, thus he's the only one the demon prince trusts. He also stays on Bansheera's side even after she shows her lack of care towards him or any other demon.

• Adapted Out: In GoGoV, there were a set of elite Batlings that served as Denus' (Vypra) personal soldiers. They were not adapted for Lightspeed Rescue.
• Bat Out of Hell: They are demonic bat-themed creatures.
• Bat People: Are humanoids with bat-like features.
• Devious Daggers: Each of them wield short swords as their main weapons.
• Mook: For the demons.

Ghouligan

Voiced by: Ken Merckx

A fire-themed demon, and the first one that attacked Mariner Bay.

---

• Canon Foreigner: One of two monsters that appeared in this series that were original PR monsters.
• Palette Swap: He's a minor repaint of Psycho Red's monster form.
• Playing with Fire: His main ability, and one that would become recurring for the rest of the Demons.
• Starter Villain: He's the first monster fought by the Rangers. Interestingly, because he was spearheading the first attack on Earth the Rangers thought he was Diabolico when they first fought, only for Captain Mitchell to tell them after that it was instead just a servant of him.
• Wolverine Claws: Has these to compensate for a lack of weaponry.

Magmavore

Voiced by: Kim Strauss (1st Time)/David Lodge (2nd Time

A giant lava demon that came from a meteor the Demons summoned.

• Adaptational Late Appearance: Downplayed. His GoGoV counterpart is the first demon to appear and fight the heroes, here he appears as the second monster after Canon Foreigner Ghouligan took his spot in the first episode.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: In his first appearance at least.
• The Brute: A brutish Demon who spends most of his time giant.
• Came Back Strong: Was revived during Rising From Ashes by Queen Bansheera to fight with Trifire.
• Carry a Big Stick: When he was revived, he wielded a Magma Club. It was strong enough to break the Lightspeed Megazord's Saber in one swing.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Magmavore was the second monster to fall to the Supertrain Megazord right after Trifire, having been destroyed by the turbine-supercharged Gatling Blasters. But in GoGoV, it was the other way around as Magma Golem was destroyed by Grand Liner's standard weaponry and was the first of the duo to be destroyed.
• Playing with Fire: Being lava-themed, he naturally had this ability.
• The Voiceless: Usually only speaks in grunts and roars.

Quakemon

An earthquake-themed frog demon.

---

• The Bus Came Back: One of the demons that made a cameo in the Shadow World during Sorcerer of the Sands and Olympius Unbound.

• The Voiceless: As with Magmavore, he only spoke in roars.

Whirlin

A tornado-themed horned bat demon.

---

• Bat Out of Hell: Almost literally, being a demonic bat monster.

---

• Blade Below the Shoulder: Has a flame sword on his right arm that can also shoot lasers.

• Samurai: Based on one.
• Technicolor Fire: Shows in Sorcerer of the Sands that he can shoot purple fire from his mouth.

Gold-Beaked Monster

Voiced by: Neil Kaplin

A vampire bat demon.

---

• Adaptational Wimp: He went from a demon in GoGoV that was sent to turn the city's power into crystals, to a demon in Power Rangers that was sent to randomly attack Mariner Bay.
• Demoted to Extra: Went from having his own episode in GoGoV to sharing an episode with Elestomp below.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: In GoGoV, he grew giant-sized and was destroyed by Victory Robo. In Power Rangers, he was taken down by the Rescue Blasters.
• Eye Laser: He can shoot fireballs from his eyes.

Elestomp

Voiced by: Stephen Apostolina

An elephant-themed demon.

---

• Demoted to Extra: Went from having his own episode in GoGoV to sharing an episode with Gold-Beaked Monster above.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: In GoGoV, he grew giant-sized and was destroyed by Victory Robo. But in Power Rangers, he was taken down by the Rescuebird in Unilaser mode.

• Playing with Fire: As with every demon monster so far, he can create a large fire pillar to erupted from the ground by putting his trunk to the ground.

• Spikes of Villainy: He can shoot black magnetic spikes at his enemy, and use lightning to strike the spike to injure the Rangers.

Cyborg Rangers

A team of robotic replicas General McKnight made to replace the human Rangers.

---

• Antagonist Title: "Cyborg Rangers."
• Chest Blaster: The devices on their chest are not just for decoration, they can be used to create an orange-colored energy ball.
• Evil Knockoff: Again, they were not created for evil purposes, but their grey colored boots and belts, along with the control devices on their chests and helmets make them stand out from the human Rangers.
• Made of Iron: They each have a Platinum Alloy Skin on them, making it difficult to take them out by punching them. Of course, Chad did eventually bring his cyborg counterpart down with some strikes.
• Psycho Rangers: They weren't this initially, but a lighting strike from Strikning fried their circuits, turning them into this trope.

Smogger

Voiced by: Richard Steven Horvitz

A gas-themed demon.

---

• Adaptational Late Appearance: His GoGoV counterpart appeared in the third episode, but here, he appeared in the eighth episode.
• Deadly Gas: His method of attacks for either travelling purposes, throwing gas-based balls against the Rangers, or creating explosive gas.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Unlike his GoGoV counterpart, he did not grow giant-sized after being hit by the Lightspeed Cycle and Rescue Speeder combo.
• Shout-Out: In his fight against the Rangers, he shouts "Great balls of fire!" from What's up Mr. Magoo?.

Trifire

Voiced by: Dave Mallow

A three-headed dragon demon that was sent to erupt Mount Jasmine.

---

• Big "WHAT?!": His reaction upon seeing the gigantic Supertrain Megazord.
• Body Horror: When he's destroyed by the Supertrain, his body swells up from within before blowing apart with extreme force, presumably from the power overload the Supertrain was suffering from. (It should be noted [[{{Bowdlerize this was censored with a superimposed fireball]].)
• Came Back Strong: Was revived during Rising From Ashes by Queen Bansheera to fight with Magmavore.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Trifire was the first monster to fall to the Supertrain Megazord right before Magmavore, having been destroyed by the Gatling Blasters. But in GoGoV, it was the other way around as Hellgerus was destroyed by the Grand Liner's Grand Storm and was the second monster of the duo to be destroyed.
• Double Weapon: Wields a double-bladed sword after his revival.
• Multiple Head Case: Has three heads.
• Playing with Fire: Also breathes fire.
• Too Dumb to Live: Deciding to charge at the gigantic Supertrain Megazord was... not the smartest idea.

Liztwin

Voiced by: Archie Kao

A skeletal dinosaur/dragon-like demon with a dragon-like head for a right hand.

---

• The Bus Came Back: One of the demons that made a cameo in the Shadow World during Sorcerer of the Sands.
• Dem Bones: Has this to evoke a fossil theme.
• Energy Absorption: Can do this through his claws.
• One-Winged Angel: His giant form is more monstrous than his ground form. ^note  This was because in GoGoV, there was a Golem Card that can grow a monster into the size of the Supertrain Megazord
• Wolverine Claws: In his giant form at least, being used in place of his dragon head arm.

Demonite

Voiced by: David Stenstrom

A knight-themed demon and one of the last three monsters Diabolico created.

---

• Adaptation Expansion: The Demonite Clone was an original idea Power Rangers had and did not appear in the Sentai.
• Barrier Warrior: Along with Falkar and Thunderon, they can create a barrier to defend from attacks.
• Blade Below the Shoulder: Has two swords on his arms in his giant form.
• Me's a Crowd: With a Mirror Card, Demonite can create a copy of himself
• Monster Knight: Looks the part.
• One-Winged Angel: His giant form is more monstrous than his ground form.
• Portmanteau: His name is the combination of demon and knight.
• Synchronization: His clone is a part of him, so if one dies, then the other dies as well. Carter used this to his advantage by killing the original Demonite, killing the clone before he killed Ryan.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: He, along with Falkar and Thunderon, were the toughest monsters the Rangers faced up until this point. In his destruction episode, it took not only Carter using both the Rescuebird and V-Lancer point-blank, but also both of their Megazords in the giant battle.

Thunderon

Voiced by: Alonzo Bodden

A Viking-themed demon and one of the last three monsters Diabolico created.

---

• Barrier Warrior: Along with Demonite and Falkar, they can create a barrier to defend from attacks.
• The Brute: The strongest of the trio.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Thunderon died to the Max Solarzord's lasers, but in GoGoV, Hades Dread Knight Guuru was put down for good by Grand Liner's Grand Storm after Liner Boy's (Max Solarzord's Sentai counterpart) fired at him (as seen in Thunderon's explosion scene, the Supertrain Megazord's fist were covered by the Turbine Lasers).
• Eye Laser: Can shoot out lasers from his eyes.
• One-Winged Angel: Subverted. He's the only one of the trio that keeps his initial form when grown.
• Power Fist: Has spiked gauntlets on his fists.
• Top-Heavy Guy: His main body is bulky compared to his legs.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: He, along with Falkar and Demonite, were the toughest monsters the Rangers faced up until this point. In his destruction episode, the Rangers had to fake their deaths in order to get the drop on him.

Falkar

Voiced by: Ezra Weisz

A falcon-themed demon and one of the last three monsters Diabolico created.

---

• Barrier Warrior: Along with Demonite and Thunderon, they can create a barrier to defend from attacks.
• Dirty Coward: He was willing to let Thunderon fight against the Rangers while he watched from the sidelines. Unfortunately for him, Diabolico had other ideas.
• Eye Laser: Can shoot out lasers from the eyes on his falcon head.
• In the Back: He had a growth card forcibly thrown into his back by Diabolico. (In GoGoV, he got impaled by Diabolico's staff, then got the card thrown into his remains.)
• One-Winged Angel: His giant form is more monstrous than his ground form.
• Opportunistic Bastard: He intended to let Thunderon defeat the Rangers and then take the credit.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: He, along with Demonite and Thunderon, were the toughest monsters the Rangers faced up until this point. Although, he seems to be the weakest of the three as the Rangers stalled him by demolishing a building on top of him.

Troika

Voiced by: David Stenstrom, Alonzo Bodden, and Ezra Weisz^note the credits only list Weisz in the role

A three-headed super demon that Diabolico created from the crystallized remains of Demonite, Falkar, and Thunderon.

---

• All Your Powers Combined: He has every power the three demons that the Rangers fought against in the past three episodes.
• Blade Below the Shoulder: Has a sword on his right arm.
• Defeat Equals Explosion: A rare aversion. When the Rangers defeat him, he doesn't explode, instead giving us Dead-Hand Shot.
• Fusion Dance: Created from the crystallized remains of the three previous monsters.
• Power Fist: Has a spiked gauntlet on his left arm.
• Spin Attack: Can perform a Hyper Spin against the Rangers.
• The Worf Effect: In the first battle, he demolished the Rangers, but once they got their Battle Boosters in the rematch, he didn't stand a chance.

Cobra Incarnate

Voiced by: Richard Cansino

A cobra demon that was connected to the cobra tattoo on Ryan's back.

---

• Canon Foreigner: The Cobra Incarnate is an original Power Ranger monster.
• Curse: He was connected to the tattoo Diabolico cursed Ryan with, but once he was destroyed, the curse was lifted, allowing Ryan to morph without risking his life.
• Palette Swap: He is a repainted Snizzard with a cobra hood attached.
• Playing with Fire: As with every demon, he has this ability.
• Snakes Are Sinister: An cobra demon monster.

Thunderclaw

Voiced by: Bob Papenbrook

A humanoid stag beetle-like demon.

• Shock and Awe: His main ability.

Spellbinder

Voiced by: Kirk Thornton

A wizard/squid-themed demon that tried to revive Queen Bansheera.

---

• Attack Its Weak Point: His prism power was both his strength and weakness. Once Ryan destroyed it, he was weakened enough for the Rangers to destroy him.
• The Bad Guy Wins: While the Rangers did eventually kill him, he still completed his goal and revived Queen Bansheera (albeit trapped in a column for the rest of the season until near the end).
• The Bus Came Back: One of the demons that made a cameo in the Shadow World during Sorcerer of the Sands and Olympius Unbound.
• Make My Monster Grow: Spellbinder is capable of growing without Jinxer's assistance.
• Wolverine Claws: Had these on hand if he did not have a weapon on hand.

Moleman

Voiced by: Ken Merckx

A mole demon that was created by Vypra to build a laser cannon powerful enough to destroy Mariner Bay.

---

• Adaptational Intelligence: Unlike his GoGoV counterpart, Moleman is highly intelligent, able to create a laser cannon.
• Adapted Out: His bow and arrow weapon did not appear in Power Rangers.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Unlike his GoGoV counterpart, he did not grow giant-sized after being hit by the V-Lancer Spectra Blast.
• Dig Attack: As a mole, he naturally has this ability.
• Playing with Fire: Has this like most demons. His strongest attack is breathing a red energy stream made of heat from his mouth.
• Wolverine Claws: Has large clawed gauntlets.

Cyclopter

Voiced by: Richard Epcar

A cyclops demon.

---

• Bare-Fisted Monk: A very skilled fighter, and thanks to the teachings of Mr. Tamashiro (Chad's former mentor), he became even more powerful.
• The Bus Came Back: One of the demons that made a cameo in the Shadow World during Sorcerer of the Sands and Olympius Unbound.
• Cyclops: His main motif.
• Fair-Play Villain: When he first challenges the Rangers, they aren't having it and just shoot him. He demands that they fight him without their guns, and they oblige.

Mantevil

Voiced by: Michael McConnohie

A praying mantis demon.

---

• Sinister Scythe: Wields one as his main weapon.
• Slaying Mantis: His Animal Motif.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: He and Infinitor (who appears later on) were part of the Infinity Chain Card line in GoGoV. There's no mention of the two being connected in Power Rangers.
• The Worf Effect: He went from surviving the Omega Megazord's finisher to losing against the Lightspeed SolarZord and Supertrain Megazord in a matter of seconds.

Vilevine

Voiced by: Kim Strauss

A rafflesia/ivy-themed demon that Olympus created to trap Loki and Vypra, before being sent to defeat the Rangers.

---

• Green Thumb: A plant-themed monster.
• Near-Villain Victory: Was pretty close to killing the Rangers had they not figured out they could go to space to remove the vines from their morphers.
• Plant Person: Based on a rafflesia and an ivy.
• Shock and Awe: Despite being a plant monster, he has this ability.
• Small Role, Big Impact: While a regular Monster of the Week, he had the biggest impact of the second half of the season as it was his actions against Loki and Vypra that caused them to resurrect Diabolico.

Freezard

Voiced by: Steve McGowan

A cobra demon.

---

• An Ice Person: The only demon to have this ability.
• The Bus Came Back: One of the demons that made a cameo in the Shadow World during Sorcerer of the Sands and Olympius Unbound.
• Shout-Out: At one point, he quoted Fat Bastard's "Get in my belly".
• Snakes Are Sinister: Like the Cobra Incarnate, he is a cobra themed demon monster.

Infinitor

Voiced by: Paul Schrier

A dragon/lizard-themed demon.

---

• Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Infinitor being able to No-Sell the V-Lancers along with the Omega Megazord's finishing move is better explained in GoGoV. In the Sentai, Infinitor was part of the Infinity Chain Card monsters, where each monster from the same card had countermeasures against the weapon that was used to destroy the previous one. This is why none of the Ranger's weapons could affect him, except for Chad and Joel's Mega Battles, and why Infinitor was destroyed by the Lightspeed Megazord's saber.
• Cool Sword: His sword can fire fireballs or shoot lightning.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: While Infinitor just died by the Omega Megazord with the Lightspeed Megazord's saber, in GoGoV, he was destroyed after being tossed into the sun.
• Made of Iron: Has a super strong armor that lets him be durable against most attacks.
• Puzzle Boss: In the Megazord fight at least. The Rangers first used the Lightspeed Megazord and Max Solarzord to gain the upper hand, but then Olympus darkened the sky, weakening the two Megazords so the Rangers had to use the Omega Megazord instead. But then they struggled until Chad grabbed the Lightspeed Megazord's saber to finally destroy him.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: He and Mantevil were part of the Infinity Chain Card line in GoGoV. There's no mention of the two being connected in Power Rangers.

Bird Bane

Voiced by: Michael Sorich

Played by: Jon Briddell

A crow demon that Jinxer created to retrieve an egg that contains a powerful monster.

---

• A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: He once took the appearance of a human during his mission.
• Beware the Silly Ones: Even though he klutzy, he was still a durable monster the Rangers had to defeat.
• Bird People: He is a humanoid crow.
• Came Back Strong: When he grew giant, he gained armor. ^note  Again, because in GoGoV he was revived with was a Golem Card that can grow a monster into the size of the Supertrain Megazord and give them an One-Winged Angel form
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Sounds like Ed Wynn, more specifically Wynn's role as the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.

Triskull

Voiced by: Michael Sorich

A demon that was loyal to the returning Trakeena and schemed to restore her original form so she could get her revenge on the Galaxy Rangers and conquer the universe.

---

• Adaptational Nice Guy: Unlike Gill, who was so evil he tried to kill Grandiene (his mother) the moment he was a baby and outright killed humans in a sadistic and graphic way to summon the Infernal Dark Beast; Triskull's betrayal of Queen Bansheera is indirect, works for Trakeena loyally and his scheme is much less lethal to its victims.
• Defeat Equals Explosion: Averted, he just falls down in one piece after he dies from the combined attacks of the teams. This is probably because in Gogo V, he did explode...after stabbing himself.
• Demoted to Extra: Downplayed. His GoGoV counterpart was the main villain of GoGoV vs Gingaman and worked for no one but himself, but here he is The Dragon to Trakeena; that said he does most of the heavy-lifting and has the more screentime of the two.
• The Dragon: To Trakeena during her return.
• The Heavy: Since she's still weakened from losing her powered form, Trakeena leaves most of the heavy-lifting to Triskull, who has the power and intellect needed to prepare the ceremony to restore her power.
• Strong as They Need to Be: In part one of the crossover, he easily defeats the Lightspeed Rangers and three of the Lost Galaxy Rangers at the same time. In part two, he's defeated by Leo and Carter alone.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: His GoGoV counterpart was part of the Psyma Clan and Grandiene's true firstborn, here he is just a very powerful demon who has no familial relation to Queen Bansheera whatsoever and is merely a traditional traitor who sided with Trakeena.

Ghouls

Grim Reaper like foot soldiers Triskull and Trakeena used.

---

• Elite Mooks: They are significantly tougher than the regular mooks from both this season and the last one. They No-Sell everything the Lightspeed Rangers throw at them, and only the Quasar Sabers at full power can destroy them.
• Mooks: They are exclusive foot soldiers for the Lightspeed-Lost Galaxy team-up.
  • Replacement Mooks: They serve as this for Trakeena's Stingwingers, who were all destroyed at the end of Lost Galaxy.
• We Have Reserves: Subverted. Ghouls are limited in numbers as neither Triskull and Trakeena summon anymore that could replace the ones the Rangers destroy. As such, there are no Ghouls seen by the climactic fight as all were destroyed by the Rangers.

Memorase

Voiced by: Marc Caldera

A killer whale-themed demon with the ability to take away the Ranger's memories.

---

• Adaptational Villainy: His GoGoV counterpart was a demon that couldn't fight against women, and actually befriended the Green and Pink Rangers to rid himself of that fear until he was killed by Denus (Vypra's Sentai counterpart) and grew giant-sized. Memorase is more ruthless in Power Rangers.
• Double Weapon: Wields a double-bladed halberd.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: With his staff, he can emanate a high pitch wave that can erase any persons' memory.

The Gatekeeper

Voiced by: Michael Sorich

A sorcerer demon who guards the entrance to the Shadow World.

---

• The Dragon: To Olympus after the latter escaped from the Shadow World.
• Necromancer: He has the ability to revive fallen demons.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: While he grew giant-sized to help Olympus, it's unknown what happened to him afterwards (In Gogo V, he dies Taking the Bullet shortly thereafter).

Furnace Monster

A barnacle-themed demon.

---

• Adapted Out: Due to his limited appearance, the Furnace Monster lacks his Sentai counterpart's motorcycle.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: Despite not having any weapons, the Furnace Monster could fight with his fists.
• Demoted to Extra: The Furnace Monster's Gogo V counterpart had an entire episode to himself, but in Power Rangers, he was a spirit in the Shadow World.
• Flat Character: Only appears to fight with Fireor and Liztwin against the Supertrain Megazord.
• Playing with Fire: Could breathe fire.
• The Voiceless: Never spoke.

Ghoular

A mummy-themed demon.

---

• Demoted to Extra: Ghoular's Gogo V counterpart had an entire episode to himself, but in Power Rangers, he was a spirit in the Shadow World. This was because the footage from his episode showed him resurrecting zombies from the graves.
• Flat Character: Only appears in the Shadow World.
• The Voiceless: Never spoke.

Flowar

A flower-like tooth-full-themed demon.

---

• Demoted to Extra: Flowar's Gogo V counterpart had an entire episode to himself, but in Power Rangers, he was a spirit in the Shadow World.
• Flat Character: Only appears in the Shadow World.
• Green Thumb: A flower-themed monster.
• More Teeth than the Osmond Family: His entire face is just teeth.
• The Voiceless: Only spoke in roars.

Mermatron

A female bat-winged siren/mermaid-themed demon.

---

• Demoted to Extra: Had an entire episode dedicated to her in the Sentai, but was merely a spirit in the Shadow World. Also, her original form was only used for the PS1 game. The form she uses in the Shadow World is actually an upgraded form that Jinxer's counterpart used when he made her grow giant, similar to Bird Bane and Liztwin.
• Flat Character: Only appears in the Shadow World.
• The Voiceless: Never spoke.

Fire Wasp

An insect demon.

---

• Flat Character: Only appears in the Shadow World.
• The Voiceless: Never spoke.

Aquafiend

Voiced by: Peter Greenwood

A kappa demon who stole King Neptune's trident to drain Mariner Bay's water supply for the demons to attack the Aquabase.

---

• Kappa: Based on one.
• Making a Splash: Unlike most demons who are weak to water, Aquafiend can traverse them without any worry.
• Prongs of Poseidon: Literally in this case as he stole King Neptune's trident.
• Shock and Awe: Can fire lighting beams from his bird beak-like mouth, and the color they are depends on whether if he is either in the sea or on land.

Arachnor

Voiced by: Katarina Luciani

A spider demon with the ability to scan the Rangers weapons.

---

• Adaptational Late Appearance: Arachnor's GoGoV appeared earlier in the Sentai before the half way point. In Power Rangers, she's the second to last Monster of the Week the Rangers face off against.
• All Webbed Up: From her three-clawed right arm or mouth, Arachnor can fire a light blue energy laser that will turn into a sticky web in contact with her prey.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: In GoGoV, she grew giant-sized and was destroyed by Victory Robo. But in Power Rangers, she was taken down by Carter in the Trans Armor Cycle.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Made an appearance in Sorcerer of the Sands and Olympius Unbound before making her full debut.
• Playing with Fire: Can shoot fireballs from her hands.
• Sherlock Scan: Her main ability is to scan the Ranger's weapons for weak points. However, she could not scan Carter's Trans Armor Cycle mode due to its complexity.
• Shapeshifting: Can transform into a spider.
• She's a Man in Japan: Her Super Sentai counterpart, Spiderus, was male.

Treevil

Voiced by: John C. Hyke

A tree-themed demon.

---

• Adaptational Late Appearance: Treevil's GoGoV appeared very early in the Sentai as one of the first few monsters. In Power Rangers, he's the last Monster of the Week the Rangers face off against (which is why the Lightspeed Megazord alone is used to battle him).
• Early-Bird Cameo: Made an appearance in Sorcerer of the Sands and Olympius Unbound before making his full debut.
• Green Thumb: Being a tree-themed monster, Treevil can launch vines from his hands that are strong enough to tear the ground apart and throw acorn bombs.
• Plant Person: Appears to be based on tree stumps.
• Punny Name: His name is the combination of Tree and Evil.

---
