Queen Bansheera’s Demon Army


  

Queen Bansheera
Voiced By: Diane Salinger
Queen Bansheera is a Demonic Queen that once ruled the land Mariner Bay eventually became centuries ago before the Sorcerer Of The Sands imprisoned her followers and her young son, Impus in a tomb. Diabolico leads her forces until she returned as a disembodied spirit, eventually returning to a corporeal state thanks to the demonic monster, Spellbinder but due to the Titanium Ranger interrupting the ceremony, her body is horribly disfigured. She is eventually able to regain her bodily form after stealing Vypra’s life force and enacts her final plans in opening the gates to the Shadow World, to the extent of sacrificing all of her loyal followers, including her son. She nearly succeeds in her plan but is thrown into the Shadow World by her former follower, Diabolico.


Diabolico
Voiced By: Neil Kaplan
Diabolico is a gold winged demon and Queen Bansheera’s second-in-command that lead her forces while she was away at unknown parts and tried in any way to take over Mariner Bay. He even went as far as using Captain Mitchell’s son, Ryan Mitchell, who he saved as a child and raised from then on to sneak into the Aquabase to steal the Titanium Morpher to use its power to destroy the Lightspeed Rangers. After Ryan Mitchell defected to the side of good, Diabolico gives him a Cobra Tattoo that would eventually kill him if he continued to use his powers. After the Lightspeed Rangers destroyed his three most powerful monsters, he fights the Lightspeed Rangers himself and ended up being destroyed by the Lightspeed Solarzord. He does come back, however, thanks to Vypra resurrecting him and starts a rivalry with Prince Olympius. After learning that Queen Bansheera thinks that he is expendable, he leaves her army but is captured by Prince Olympius and brainwashed by Queen Bansheera to battle the Lightspeed Rangers and transforming into a Super Demon. He succeeds in destroying and damaging most of the Lightspeed Rangers Megazords but is destroyed by the newly built Lifeforce Megazord. Diabolico is last seen in the Shadow World, aiding the Lightspeed Rangers by blasting Queen Bansheera into the depths of the Shadow World.


Impus/Prince Olympius
Voiced By: Brianne Siddall & Michael Forest
Impus is a young dragon-like demon and the infant son of Queen Bansheera that her followers were tasked with raising until Queen Bansheera returned to the Skull Cavern. Despite his young age, Impus has the ability to create Monster Cards like Fireor & Trifire. Impus becomes a point of contention for Diabolico after Queen Bansheera threatened to give his Star Power to him and is used to motivate him to destroy the Lightspeed Rangers. After Diabolico is destroyed by the Lightspeed Rangers, he inherits his Star Power and immediately enters a cocoon state, transforming into Prince Olympius. His first mission after maturing is to capture four of the Lightspeed Rangers and shape shifts into them to infiltrate the Aquabase, destroying it from the inside. He is eventually caught however and is looked down upon by Vypra & Loki from them on, to the extent of being forced to stay in the Skull Cavern during Queen Bansheera’s Resurrection Ceremony. After feeling threatened by Loki & Vypra, he tricks them into a false sense of comfort and used his monster, Vilevine to bury them alive. This motivates them to resurrect Diabolico and the two started a fierce rivalry. Prince Olympius is eventually upped by Diabolico during one of his plans to destroy the Lightspeed Rangers and was trapped in the Shadow World for a short time up until he absorbed the monsters energies, which gave him a powered-up form. He is thought to be destroyed by the Lightspeed Rangers, but was only injured. After regaining his strength, he brings a captured Diabolico to the Skull Cavern and is sent alongside a brainwashed Diabolico to battle the Lightspeed Rangers. He is destroyed however but is revived as a Super Demon, succeeding in destroying and damaging most of the Lightspeed Rangers Megazords but is destroyed by the newly built Lifeforce Megazord.


Vypra
Played By: Jennifer Yen
Vypra is a humanoid female winged demon and a loyal follower of Queen Bansheera. She is the most active of Queen Bansheera’s followers at first, personally fighting the Lightspeed Rangers a few times until the arrival of Prince Olympius. After Prince Olympius betrays her and Loki, she decides to resurrect Diabolico to protect her from Prince Olympius. After her constant failures in destroying the Lightspeed Rangers and rebuilding her palace, Queen Bansheera decides to take her life force as punishment in order to regain her bodily form.


Loki
Voiced By: David Lodge
Loki is a brutish winged demon loyal follower of Queen Bansheera and is used as brute muscle whenever it is necessary in a fight against the Lightspeed Rangers. After Vypra is sacrificed by Queen Bansheera to regain her bodily form, he attempts to gain his favor by luring the Lightspeed Rangers to the Skull Cavern. He succeeds at this but is sacrificed by Queen Bansheera after she forces Diabolico to fire an attack at the Lightspeed Rangers.


Jinxer
Voiced By: Kim Strauss
Played By: Benton Jennings
Jinxer is a fly-like demon and loyal follower of Queen Bansheera, being responsible for bringing monster cards to life as well as making them grow. Jinxer cares deeply for Prince Olympius, caring for him when he was Impus and helps him recover after a fight with the Lightspeed Rangers. During Queen Bansheera’s final assault of Mariner Bay, he sneaks Batlings into the Aquabase and pilots the Omega Megazord to get stones in place for a ceremony that will open the gates to the Shadow World. He is presumably destroyed however after the destruction of the Omega Megazord.

Trakeena’s Army


Trakeena
Played By: Jennifer Burns
Trakeena is a bug/human-looking woman that survived her battle with the Galaxy Rangers, gaining a scar on her face from the battle that ruined her beautiful face. She travels to Earth to team up with the demon, Triskull to drain the life force out of the citizens of Mariner Bay, so that she is able to mutate back into her bug-like form. She fails in doing so however due to Prince Olympius poisoning the captured life force, mutating her into a giant demonic creature that was only able to be destroyed by the Omega Megazord powered-up with the Lights Of Orion.


Triskull
Voiced By: Michael Sorich
Played By: Stanton Schnepp
Triskull is a wing demonic warrior that secretly worked with Trakeena to capture people and steal their life force to mutate her back to her bug-like form, under the assumption of Prince Olympius that he was doing so for his mother, Queen Bansheera. After the Galaxy Rangers & Lightspeed Ranger attempt to stop him, he fights the Red Galaxy Ranger & Red Lightspeed Rangers to prevent them from reaching Trakeena but is destroyed by a combined attack from them.


Ghouls
The Ghouls are cloaked creatures that replace the Stingwingers as Trakeena’s foot soldiers.
