Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue/Characters

Our Heroes

C | (Actor: Sean Cw Johnson)
"You'd think they'd have learned they can't beat the Power Rangers."


 * Badass: He attempted to run over a monster with a Humvee, attacked a giant Diabolico with just his pistol, and punched Bansheera.

 * Law of Chromatic Superiority: He gets a special sidecar to his bike, a special vehicle (see above). Somewhat subverted when Joel and Chad get their Super Modes ahead of him, but played straight when he gets a second Cool Bike (which doubles as a Battlizer) near the end of the season.

 * One Winged Angel: She becomes this after absorbing Vypra near the end of the series.
 * Orcus On Her Throne: Subverted. 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. 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.
 * The Woman Behind The Man for Diabolico.
