!!Captain William Mitchell
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ronrogge1_lr.jpg]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Ron Roggé
-->'''Voiced by:''' César Soto (Latin American Spanish dub), Creator/MasashiHirose (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, [[spoiler:he rescued Carter as a boy]].

* BigGood: Leader of Lightspeed Rescue.
* TheCaptain: He serves as the Aquabase's captain.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a brief one during "The Fate of Lightspeed" when Jinxer uses the Lifeforce Megazord to destroy Lightspeed Aquabase.
* RetiredBadass: 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. [[spoiler:He was the firefighter who saved Carter as a kid and inspired him to become a firefighter himself.]]
* RuggedScar: 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.
* SkewedPriorities: He made a couple of errors in judgement early on, but [[CharacterDevelopment he made up for it]].
* TeamDad: Literally and figuratively. He's Dana and Ryan's father, and was a major inspirational and guidance figure for Carter in particular.
* TheOnlyWayTheyWillLearn: 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... [[spoiler: 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 EnforcedMethodActing. 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, [[spoiler: 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, [[spoiler: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 [[spoiler:combustible materials]] were even in the vicinity and could cause even more damage, something he should have been ''trained'' for.

!!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.
----
* AwesomeButImpractical: 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.
* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: A set of train Zords that carry the Lightspeed Rescue Zords into Mariner Bay. Later, they carry the Omega Zords.
* CombiningMecha: Five train Zords that combine into one gigantic Megazord.
* CoolTrain: Its a set of train Zords that form into a gigantic Megazord. How much cooler can it get?!
* FinishingMove: '''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.
* GatlingGood: The Gatling Blaster on the Supertrain Megazord's right shoulder fires like there is no tomorrow.
* HumongousMecha: Out of all the Megazords the Lightspeed Rangers have, this one is the biggest.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: On the Megazord's left shoulder, it features a missile launcher that fires missiles. It also stores freeze missiles.

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.
