"Red Ranger, Rescue ready!"
―Carter's roll Call.[src]

"Time to end this, once and for all!"
―Carter's most famous line before trying to kill Queen Bansheera with his Battle Booster.[src]

"Ceremony's over Bansheera!"
―Carter when he and the other Lightspeed Rangers confronted Queen Bansheera for the final battle.[src]

Carter Grayson is a Mariner Bay firefighter and the Red Lightspeed Ranger and the leader of the Lightspeed Rangers.

He is also referred to as Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger or Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger, though these are more in reference to the show than proper labels.

History[]

Early Life[]

Trial by Fire

Carter as a kid being rescued by a fireman.

As a child, Carter was saved from a burning building by a mystery firefighter. This encounter led him to follow in his savior's footsteps and become a firefighter himself. He later found this mystery firefighter to be none other than Captain Mitchell. Over the years, Captain Mitchell kept a close eye on Carter, watching him become a fireman and saw he had the potential to be a great Power Ranger and leader.

Lightspeed Rescue[]

Carter Grayson was one of Mariner Bay's best firefighters. His daredevil maneuvers risked his life, but saved those in danger. Carter is brave, headstrong, and quick thinking. Carter was the first to accept his role and took up the position of team leader as the Red Lightspeed Ranger, and courageously led the Rangers against Diabolico's forces. As the Red Ranger, Carter is a strong leader, however he is strict and by-the-book.

Carter bravely took down Queen Bansheera in a final battle, tossing her into the Shadow World for good. After Lightspeed Rescue disbanded, he returned to being a firefighter.

Time Force[]

"You're gonna need my help."
―Carter to the Time Force Rangers[src]
Carter meeting the Time Force Rangers

Carter explains to the Time Force Rangers about Vypra's plan.

Following the defeat of Queen Bansheera one year later, Vypra returned from the dead and began terrorizing Silver Hills. He appears driving and stopping the Rescue Rover and steps out, introducing himself to the Time Force Rangers. At the Clock Tower, he then tells the Time Force Rangers about Vypra's plan, that is to summon a powerful Demon named Quarganon and proceeds to call his teammates.

Vypra proceeds to summon Quarganon but is interrupted by Carter and Wes. Carter steals the amulet and drives away but Vypra follows them in her rebuilt Vypari and confronts them at a dead end and the two Red Rangers are stopped by Ransik. Carter is about to destroy the amulet but is interrupted by Nadira who has the other Time Force Rangers captive.

For Wes' teammates safety, Carter is forced to reluctantly give back the amulet to Vypra and she ordered her Demon Warriors to let the four Time Force Rangers go. After that, Vypra summoned Quarganon, but are immediately helped by the other Lightspeed Rangers, all the Rangers morph into their Ranger forms and was ready to fight the five Demon Warriors.

Wild Force[]

"I'm Carter Grayson. Lightspeed Rescue, Red Ranger. I was sent to recruit you for an important mission. The fate of the entire Earth is at stake, we need your help."
―Carter Grayson meeting and recruiting Cole Evans.[src]
Carter recruiting Cole Evans

Carter introducing himself to the Wild Force Rangers.

Two years later, after Andros the Red Space Ranger discover the remnants and survivors of the Machine Empire digging up Serpentera on the moon, Carter is notified by Tommy Oliver the Red Zeo Ranger to lead this special mission, by recruiting all the rest of the Red Rangers on Earth, recruiting T.J. Johnson the second Red Turbo Ranger, Wes the Red Time Force Ranger and Eric the Quantum Ranger.

Carter went to Turtle Cove to recruit Cole Evans the Red Wild Force Ranger and current Red Ranger, reuniting in NASADA space port, when Jason Lee Scott the original Red Ranger pulls up to the group on a motorcycle.

Eight Red Rangers vs the Machine Empire

Carter and the other Red Rangers prepare to attack the Cogs.

On the moon, Venjix and his other generals prepare to board Serpentera but they are then interrupted by the Red Rangers. Venjix sends the Cogs to distract the eight Rangers while he and the others proceed to Serpentera. Carter using his Rescue Blaster do battle with the Cogs unmorphed and dispose of them with relative ease. Carter and his fellow Red Rangers join Cole after he is rescued by Leo the Red Galaxy Ranger and Aurico the Red Alien Ranger on Leo's Jet Jammer.

Andros and carter team up

Carter and Andros teaming up against Steelon.

All of the Rangers then morph with their respective calls (except Aurico, who never appears demorphed) and do battle with the Generals in groups of two, Carter and Andros fight Steelon and destroy him by combining powers from their Astro, Rescue, and Thermo Blasters respectfully.

Venjix then jumps into Serpentera and takes off. With no time to get to the Ship before it takes off, Carter and the other Red Rangers rely on Cole with his Wild Force Rider to battle Venjix. Both Venjix and Serpentera are destroyed for good, truly ending the Machine Empire menace once and for all.

Afterwards, the nine human Rangers part ways, and Cole remarks how Tommy appeared to be the "greatest Ranger ever" with the other Rangers bragging of their own exploits. Tvicon TV STORY-Forever Red

Emperor Mavro was defeated, but the remaining thousands of X Borgs still stand. Tommy gathered all the existing Power Rangers, Carter returned with his fellow Lightspeed Rangers as part of the army of Legendary Rangers led by Tommy that helped the Mega Rangers defeat the Armada once and for all, Carter was one of the Rangers who saluted the Mega Rangers before fighting in a huge battle against hundreds of X Borgs and dozens of Bruisers. After the demise of the X Borgs, Tommy shook hands with Troy and teleported off along with Carter and the Legendary Rangers. Tvicon TV STORY-Legendary Battle

Dino Fury[]

Zayto activates the Legendary Ranger Database, showing Master Blue that Master Green came to them after the Dinohenge statues were destroyed and restored them to normal. Also, Zayto says that he found Ranger teams who were saved in their darkest moments through unexplained reasons and shows them three specific moments. Including the Legendary Battle where all the Legendary Rangers including Carter and the other Lightspeed Rangers coming to the aid of the Megaforce Rangers in the Legendary Battle and helping them defeat an entire army of the Armada's X Borgs. Tvicon TV STORY-Morphin Master

Personality[]

As a career fireman, Carter's priority has always been the well-being of others. In his debut scene, he refuses to leave a burning building that's about to collapse without retrieving the civilians trapped inside. At the end of Lightspeed Rescue, he even urges his friends to close the lid of the tomb to the Shadow World so he can sacrifice himself to stop the demons from being unleashed. Carter's dutifulness to protect others is somewhat misguided. He never took a day off, even when Captain Mitchell gave the Rangers crystal clear orders to take a day off and relax. This was because he believed to help others, he must put himself through intense training, even if he isn't happy with it. It wasn't until a pep talk from Captain Mitchell did Carter finally realized even selfless people need time to themselves once and a while.

Carter is shown to be a brave individual with a warrior's pride. He refuses to retreat even when it was clear the resurrected and empowered Trifire and Magmavore were overpowering their Lightspeed Megazord and would rather die fighting. He could also be impulsive, sometimes performing actions that would result in more casualties if not for Captain Mitchel's guidance. He eventually learns to listen to Captain Mitchel's orders to retreat, realizing it's better to live to fight another day than to die for nothing. Carter also has a sharp battle instinct, shown when the Lightspeed Solarzord seemingly destroyed Diabolico and again when the Lightspeed Megazord seemingly destroyed Queen Bansheera, he concluded it was way too easy and accurately deducted during the second time that Queen Bansheera escaped, rather than being destroyed.
