Diabolico was a powerful Demon serving Queen Bansheera, the leader in her absence and a major antagonist turned anti-hero of Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.

He was voiced by Neil Kaplan who also voiced Gluto a year later.

Biography[]

Past[]

Thousands of years ago, Diabolico and the other Demons terrorised Earth under the leadership of Queen Bansheera until they were sealed away in a bomb by the Sorcerer of the Sands.

Ten years ago, Captain Mitchell and his two children, Dana and Ryan, got in a car crash and were left hanging over a cliff, clinging to a tree root. While Mitchell had a secure grip on Dana, Ryan was hanging onto his foot and was about to fall when Diabolico appeared before Captain Mitchell in spirit form and said that he would save his son, but only if Ryan would belong to him afterwards. Though at first, he refused, the Captain agreed when his son began to fall and, after catching the boy, Diabolico told Mitchell that he wouldn’t see him again until his twentieth birthday. Afterwards, the Demon Lord trained Ryan as a warrior so as to use him as a soldier of the demons.

Lightspeed Rescue[]

Diabolico is eventually freed along with the rest of the Demons by three unwitting explorers after they discover the tomb. With Queen Bansheera inexplicably absent, Diabolico serves as the default leader and leads them in attacks on Mariner Bay. However, his plans fail constantly thanks to the Lightspeed Rangers.

When she eventually returns, Queen Bansheera threatens to take his Star Power and give it to her son Impus. Diabolico considers killing the demon infant at one point but he loses the chance to do so when Jinxer interrupts so he calls upon his three most powerful monsters. After the destruction of Troika, Diabolico chooses not to enlarge the Demon and instead goes to Earth and grows giant to kill the Power Rangers himself. They form the Supertrain Megazord but Diabolico is too strong and punches a hole straight through it so they form the Lightspeed Megazord but he survives the Lightspeed Megazord Saber finisher and takes it down. Before he can kill them though, Ryan Mitchell arrives in the Max Solarzord which blasts Diabolico before they form the Lightspeed Solarzord which is finally a match for the Demon. Diabolico survives multiple laser blasts and unleashes his strongest attack against them but they absorb it and use it to power their cannons which is able to finally kill Diabolico and send him back to the Shadow World. However, the Star Power survives Diabolico's death and passes to Impus which transforms him into Prince Olympius.

Eventually, Olympius grows jealous of Vypra and Loki being in charge so tries to kill them with Vilevile. However, they survive and bring Diabolico back from the Shadow World in the tomb where they were imprisoned due to wanting a match for the powerful prince. During Olympius' attack with Freezard, the three Demons return and Olympius and Diabolico attack each other until Bansheera teleports both of them back to the Skull Cavern. She is disgusted by their actions and demands loyalty so they put aside their goals for the time being to fulfill their mutual goal of restoring Bansheera to her proper form. Later, Diabolico succeeds in trapping Olympius in the Shadow World, where all the destroyed demons dwell. Queen Bansheera learns of this very quickly but doesn't care because of his multiple failures. Much later, Queen Bansheera teleports the Power Rangers to the Skull Cavern where Diabolico and Loki fight the Power Rangers. However, Bansheera learns of Olympius' survival and takes control of Diabolico before forcing him to kill Loki as punishment. Enraged, Diabolico turns on his Queen and tells Carter where he should strike her to destroy her and save his friends from burning to death but Bansheera survives the attempt.

Diabolico as a mindless slave

Diabolico then attempts to flee from the Skull Cavern but is defeated by Olympius in vengeance. After being brought back to Bansheera, he is transformed into a mindless slave and the two attack the Power Rangers. However. Carter manages to free Diabolico and he turns on Olympius after giving the Rangers the key to the tomb where the Demons were once imprisoned. He is destroyed by Olympius who is in turn destroyed by the Rangers but Bansheera resurrects them both as Super Demons with Diabolico once again brainwashed. Although they destroy the Supertrain Megazord and Solarzord, and cripple the Omega Megazord, both are easily killed by the Lifeforce Megazord. During the battle against Queen Bansheera, as she tries to drag Carter down into the Shadow World with her, Diabolico's soul appears and she pleads for help . However, he takes the chance to finally exact his revenge and willingly seals both himself and Bansheera away in the Shadow World forever.

Personality[]

Despite being a diabolical villain, Diabolico cared deeply for his comrades, especially Loki. When he was forced to shoot Loki along with the Rangers and destroy him, he ultimately defected from Queen Bansheera's side and ultimately became a short-lived and impermanent ally of the rangers. In the season finale, he was able to exact his revenge, helping the Rangers destroy Queen Bansheera once and for all. Diabolico was evidently considered to be a good friend by Loki and Vypra as well as they both mourned him when he was killed by the rangers. Even though he lied to Ryan to manipulate him, he did seem to care about Ryan and wanted him to rule by his side when the Rangers were destroyed. He even referred to him as Ryan during his their time together. When Ryan solidified his loyalty to the Rangers over him, he stopped calling Ryan by his name and simply called him the Titanium Ranger.

Powers and Abilities[]

Diabolico-adv

Diabolico's Super Demon form.

Diabolico is able to appear in a spirit form, doing so even when he was imprisoned and can also create storms. He is also able to fire energy blasts and wields a skull themed, two bladed staff in combat. Diabolico has also demonstrated a strange ability to detach his right hand and grab his opponent with it, then bring the rest of his body towards them. Even without the Star Power, Diabolico is quite powerful, almost able to best Olympius in their first encounter. With the Star Power, he is extremely powerful, able to use one of his energy beams to cut a hole through the Supertrain Megazord. After becoming a Super Demon, Diabolico became even more powerful, wielding a large jewel-encrusted sword in combat.
