Character History
Megaforce
Before becoming a Ranger, Noah was a person interested in science. During his teenage years, Noah, along with four teenagers, were chosen by Gosei to protect the Earth from the Warstar Aliens. He first fought with his team against Scaraba, whom they eventually defeat. Mega Mission
One day in school when Jake asked Noah to fix his Snake Ax, Noah couldn't lift it, making him doubt his abilities. Then Jake told him that "If you believe in yourself, you can do anything". After school, when Virox (a monster sent by Vrak and Admiral Malkor) attacked the city, Noah and Jake decided to deal with him personally while the other Rangers quarantine the humans who got infected by Virox. Remembering what Jake told him about believing himself, Noah lifted the Snake Ax and defeated Virox. When Virox enlarged, the other Rangers helped Noah and Jake defeat him. As a result Noah gained the ability to summon the Sea Brothers Zord. The next day, Noah fixed the Snake Ax, making it 40% lighter, and gave it back to Jake. When Jake said he won't get used to the Snake Ax being lighter, Noah told him to believe in himself just like Jake told Noah. Going Viral
Super Megaforce
X-Borgs invade Harwood High. Megaforce Blue steps in to defeat them, and also saves two students. He orders them to scout the school and find other students that are hiding, with words of confidence. He later returns to the Command Center, and along with the other rangers, they receive their Super Megaforce powers. After their first battle, the rangers return to the school. He checks in on the students and they need a teacher. Noah resorts to Mr. Burley. He tells them his students need them. Leading Mr. Burley into the classroom, Noah starts an applause. Everyone sits down and Mr. Burley starts his lesson. Super Megaforce
Noah meets a powerful master swordsman named Skatana. But the swordsman makes a fool out of Noah and he starts to doubt being a ranger. As such he begins to train harder as Emma spots him training reminding him that he is not alone in the fight and gives Noah her Super Mega Saber to help him out. Remembering his training and the team, they support him by giving them their Sabers allowing him to use the Ultimate Ranger Saber Strike. Blue Saber Saga
Jake and Noah find themselves literally standing in each other’s shoes when a body-swapping monster named Tranceferer switches the two Rangers so that they are inhabiting each other’s body. The Grass is Always Greener or Bluer
Personality
Noah Carver may be a tech geek, but his wits make a fierce weapon against Earth's alien invaders. What he lacks in physical coordination he more than makes up for in brainpower, and with his more socially savvy best friend Jake at his side, these two make the perfect team. Sure, Noah may prefer studying up on the supernatural to engaging in battle, but the Blue Ranger's fearsome Shark Zord is no sci-fi fable.
Noah Carver doesn't care that he'll never be Prom King. He's much more interested in using his blockbuster brain to change the world. Fighting may not be his first choice of activities, but that doesn't mean Noah isn't REALLY good at it. In fact, as the series progresses, Noah begins to realize that he's slowing down the team by not being as strong as the others. To relieve himself of these difficulties, Noah trains himself in a forest to better his skills, and to strengthen the team in the episode Blue Saber Saga.
Megaforce Blue
As Megaforce Blue, he has a Shark motif. He pilots the Shark Mechazord. Blue Ranger's main weapon is the Shark Bowgun, which resembles a crossbow. He uses cards with his Gosei Morpher.

Ranger Keys
The Megaforce Blue Ranger Key.
The Megaforce Blue Ranger Key is one of Noah's personal Ranger Keys. This key along with the majority of the Core Ranger Keys are seen lining the Command Center's interior walls. This key is mainly used by Noah Carver (Super Megaforce Blue) who uses it for final attacks, although some fans assume that Noah had used this key to morph into Megaforce Blue in episode 5 and to morph into Ultra Megaforce Blue in the extended version of episode 20
The Megaforce Blue Ranger key is one of the five water-element Blue Ranger Keys that are used by Super Megaforce Blue for his Ultimate Ranger Saber Strike attack, which was used once against Skatana. This attack involved summoning manifestations of the five Rangers to attack the target, with Megaforce Blue being the first to strike. Blue Saber Saga
The Super Megaforce Blue Ranger Key.
The Super Megaforce Blue Ranger Key is one of Noah's personal Ranger Keys which allows him to morph into Super Megaforce Blue. As with the other Super Megaforce Ranger Keys, this key is commonly used in the Super Mega Rangers' Ranger Key-compatible arsenal and zords for different functions and attacks.
Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Noah Carver was portrayed by John Mark Loudermilk.
When morphed, Noah was respectively portrayed by suit actors Hirofumi Fukuzawa (福沢 博文 Fukuzawa Hirofumi) (Megaforce Blue; later served as Super Megaforce Red), in footage from Goseiger, and Yoshifumi Oshikawa (押川 善文 Oshikawa Yoshifumi) (Super Megaforce Blue; previously served as Megaforce Black), in footage from Gokaiger.
Production
- Early scripts listed his name as "Parry", just like Mike.
Notes
- Like Billy Cranston, Noah is also interested in the sciences, wears glasses, and is also a Blue Ranger. Additionally, Noah's powers are based around water, and Aquitar is where Billy currently resides with his girlfriend Cestria.
- Coincidentally, the Sentai series Ressha Sentai ToQger, which aired concurrently with Super Megaforce, had Tokatti (ToQ 2gou), who shares all of these traits.
- As Megaforce Blue, he and Max Cooper both pilot Shark Zords which form the right arms for their respected team's Megazords. They are also best friends with the black rangers on the team.
- Noah retains the calm and intelligent composure of his Goseiger counterpart Hyde as well as the duty bound and serious Gokaiger counterpart Joe Gibken.
- He is the first Megaforce Ranger to have an individual morph (Going Viral) and also is the first to morph straight to Super Mega Mode while in civilian mode (Blue Saber Saga).
- Strangely, while starting his morphing sequence with his glasses on, they are gone by the time his helmet forms, but of course they are back when he demorphs. This is something which did not happen to previous glasses-wearing rangers Billy, Kendrix or Cam. One humorous suggestion is that Noah's glasses fall off as he does his backflip in the morph.
- He is the second blue Ranger to have two different ranger powers. He is also the second Ranger to stay on the team after they receive the new powers.
- As seen in the episode Mega Mission, Noah was originally selected to be the Red Ranger, but Troy Burrows was selected instead.
- His personality is very similar to Carlos Vallerte.
Counterpart notes
- Noah shares a few things in common with the other Super Mega Rangers in terms of counterparts:
- He is one of four Super Mega Rangers to have a counterpart from all past Power Ranger teams, the only ones missing any counterparts are Orion and Emma.
- He is one of two Super Mega Rangers to have all of their counterparts share the same color as them and be a part of their respective teams' primary groups, the other being Troy.
- Even though Noah is calm and serious, some of his counterparts (Zeo Ranger III Blue, Blue Turbo Ranger, Blue Wild Force Ranger, Blue Dino Ranger, Blue Overdrive Ranger,Ranger Operator Series Blue and his successors Dino Charge Blue Ranger and Ninja Steel Blue) were much more lighthearted and/or childish.
- His serious and stern counterparts include Blue Mighty Morphin Ranger, Blue Aquitar Ranger, Blue Space Ranger, Galaxy Blue, Blue Lightspeed Ranger, Time Force Blue, Blue Wind Ranger, S.P.D. Blue Ranger, Blue Mystic Ranger, Jungle Fury Blue Ranger and Blue Samurai Ranger.
- 2 of Noah’s counterparts (Blue Wind Ranger and Blue Mystic Ranger) were originally female.
- 6 Blue Rangers (Ninjor, Auric the Conqueror, Blue Senturion, Navy Thunder Ranger, Jungle Fury Shark Ranger and Dino Charge Aqua Ranger) are not Noah's counterparts, as neither of these Blues are part of their respective teams' primary groups.
- He is the only male Super Mega Ranger who does not have either a Red Ranger or Tommy Oliver counterpart.
- Noah has the least amount of replacement counterparts with only S.P.D. Blue Ranger.
- Even though Noah is not Second-in-command of the Super Megaforce Rangers, 7 of his counterparts, Blue Zeo Ranger, Blue Space Ranger, Galaxy Blue, Blue Lightspeed Ranger, S.P.D. Blue Ranger, Ranger Operator Series Blue and Blue Samurai Ranger are the Second-in-command of their teams.
Legendary Ranger Mode notes
- So far, Noah is the only male Super Mega Ranger who has transformed into a female Ranger.
- Noah's most used forms are of the Blue Wild Force Ranger, Ranger Blue, Samurai Blue, and Squadron Blue with 3 uses each while his least used forms are Blue Alien Ranger, Zeo Ranger III Blue, Blue Turbo Ranger, Blue Lightspeed Ranger, Blue Wind Ranger, Lightning Blue and Blitz Blue, each used 1 time.
- Noah is the only Super Mega Ranger who has transformed into a member of the Lightspeed Rangers.
