- ―Green Lightspeed Ranger's Roll Call[src]
Joel Rawlings is the Green Lightspeed Ranger of the Lightspeed Rangers.
He is also referred to as Green Lightspeed Rescue Ranger or Lightspeed Rescue Green Ranger, though these are more in reference to the show than proper labels.
History[]
When Joel was 8, all he wanted more than anything was to fly like a bird. So he built himself a set of wings, and jumped out of his second floor window. 
TV STORY-Trial By Fire
Lightspeed Rescue[]
Nicknamed "the Sky Cowboy," Joel was an aerial stuntman and was recruited by Captain Mitchell to be the Green Lightspeed Ranger.
He was extremely reluctant to become a Power Ranger at first, not believing in Lightspeed or what it had to offer, but when he saw his beloved Mariner Bay in danger, he decided to take them up on their offer.
He showed interest in the Rangers' assistant, though his first attempt to impress her went awry when he mocked the "computer geek" who wouldn't let him fly the way he wanted to on his first mission. TV STORY-Lightspeed Teamwork After Queen Bansheera had been defeated once and for all, Rawlings and Ms. Fairweather were about to go out on their first date when he was called away on Ranger business, unable to let his duties end with the demons. TV STORY-The Fate of Lightspeed, Pt 2
Time Force[]
Joel married with Angela.
Following the defeat of Queen Bansheera one year later, Joel eventually married Ms. Fairweather, and the two were seen heading off on their honeymoon right when he got a call from Carter. Not realizing the importance of the call, he told him it had to wait. His wife, figuring it must have been something important, snatched his cellphone and heard Vypra had returned and told him Joel would be there.
Joel along with Kelsey, Chad and Dana saved the Time Force Rangers and Carter from Ransik, Nadira, Vypra, Quarganon and the five Demon Warriors. Ryan and Eric Myers the Quantum Ranger appears to help.

During the battle, Trip Time Force Green and his Green Ranger successor, both Green Rangers fight against a Demon Warrior, later he and Chad turned into their Mega Battles along with Kelsey and Dana, the four Lightspeed Rangers destroyed a Demon Warrior. Joel and the other Rangers turned into their Battlizers against and destroyed Vypra and Quarganon.

After the demise of the X Borgs, Tommy shook hands with Troy and teleported off along with Joel and the Legendary Rangers. TV STORY-Legendary Battle

TV STORY-Morphin Master
Personality[]
Joel is easily the most arrogant of all the Lightspeed Rangers, having a record of preferring to disobey orders in favor of his stunts. One example was when he decided against Angela's, (the one who designed his Zord), orders to do what he wanted. This would later backfire when he gave her flowers in an attempt to impress her then berated her (unknowingly), causing his first attempt to win her heart to fail miserably. Over the course of Lightspeed Rescue, Joel starts to mature greatly, eventually enough to win him his long-time crush's heart, resulting in them being married.
