Moleman is a mole demon who served Vypra and the primary antagonist of the episode "The Fifth Crystal".
History[]
Moleman was ordered by Vypra to build a laser cannon that will destroy Mariner Bay, as well as the Power Rangers.
After Vypra stopped the car where Kelsey had the final crystal given to her by her grandmother, she summons an army of Batlings, as well as Moleman and then orders them to get the final crystal. He first traps Agent Meyers in the van and took over his body to trick Kelsey into giving him the fifth Crystal.
He then went back to the hideout and ordered the Batlings to power up the cannon with the last crystal. When Kelsey appeared (who was angered by them stealing the crystal that her grandmother trusted her to protect), he ordered the Batlings to get her. As much as Kelsey tried, she was quickly outmatched and taken captive. Right before he could fire the laser, Kelsey's grandmother came to the rescue and rammed the laser cannon with her vehicle. He tried to attack her grandmother, but to no avail. The cannon exploded and all of the crystals were destroyed.
He later joined in with Olympius and Loki to fight against all five Lightspeed Rescue Rangers. He battled Kelsey to get revenge on her for destroying the laser cannon. He had the upper hand at first, but was quickly outmatched when the Yellow Ranger equipped the V-Lancer and blasted him in the chest. Moleman was finally destroyed by the V-Lancer's Spectra-Blast (though Loki was in the blast, he manages to survive). TV STORY-The Fifth Crystal

Notes[]
- Moleman's name and appearance might had been an inspiration to Molemens, mythological creatures that are humanoid mole-like monsters.
- Like Smogger, Moleman doesn't get revived into a giant by Jinxer unlike his Japanese counterpart.
- However, the reason that the Megazord fight was completely cut is because the Tatsumi siblings' face had to be avoided.
- Also unlike his Japanese counterpart, Moleman doesn't have a bow-like weapon, but he does however have a staff.
