History[]
Early Life[]
When Ryan was young, he was involved in a car accident along with his father and his sister while Captain Mitchell was driving Ryan and Dana home. All three were suspended over a cliff. Captain Mitchell had a secure grasp of Dana, but Ryan was hanging on by his father's shoe. The spirit of Diabolico appeared and offered a deal: Diabolico would save the child, but in payment he would raise the child himself, and Captain Mitchell would not see him again until his 20th birthday. Captain Mitchell at first refused, but relented when Ryan began to fall, but Diabolico's spirit saved him. Mitchell said it was the hardest decision he ever had to make.
Ryan was raised by the demon Diabolico, who poisoned his mind telling him that his father had rejected him, favoring Dana. Diabolico instructed Ryan to steal the prototype Titanium Morpher from the Aqua Base and destroy the Power Rangers (including his sister Dana) with the Titanium Power. He nearly succeeded, becoming the Titanium Ranger, but Ms. Fairweather brought the newly-developed V-Lancers, which overpowered Ryan. Just as the Power Rangers were about to destroy Ryan, Captain Mitchell told them to stand down and called them back and also told them the terrifying story of what happened to Ryan after he told them the reason of why Mitchell ordered the Power Rangers to not fire at Ryan. After some recall of his memories, Ryan rejected Diabolico and joined the Lightspeed Rangers. In response, Diabolico placed a cobra tattoo on his back, which would move up if he morphed and would kill him when it reached Ryan's neck. Eventually, Ryan manages to find the original cobra and destroy the curse, allowing him to transform freely.
After a while, Ryan left to find more information about the demons and how to defeat them, although he left the team with the Max Solarzord to use if they required the extra firepower. He eventually returns to the team to tell them about Queen Bansheera's plan to bring back the demons. Ryan later aided the Lightspeed Rangers in defeating Bansheera once and for all.

Titanium Morpher: The device that allows Ryan to morph into his Ranger form.
Ryan: The name Ryan is of Irish origin, derived from the Old Irish "rían," which means "little king" or "royal one." It is a diminutive form of the name "Ri," which means "king." This name suggests leadership, strength, and a noble character.

The Titanium Ranger Key is Ryan’s personal Ranger Key. This key is exclusive to the Toyline and has been seen at Power Morphicon 2014. Of course as with all Ranger Keys, should it exist, it would be able to transformOrion (Super Megaforce Silver), into the Titanium Ranger.
In 2016, A Translucent version of it was seen in the toyline.

Notes[]
Ryan is the first and only Sixth Ranger to have no corresponding Super Sentai counterpart. The M symbol featured on his helmet's forehead as well as the primary design of the Titanium Morpher is lifted directly from the wing panels of the Liner Boy, with the interest of assigning its Lightspeed Rescue counterpart as Ryan's personal Zord (the original being controlled by an A.I.). The Titanium Laser, Ryan's primary weapon, also had no existing Sentai counterpart, and like the Titanium Morpher was fabricated specifically for Lightspeed Rescue.
The mis-assembled Titanium Ranger helmet.
Due to him having no Sentai counterpart, Ryan appeared in very few episodes. Most of his scenes showed him unmorphed and looking for a way to stop the demons. Saban also did not have the necessary budget to use both Sentai footage of the main five Rangers as well as film a lot of new footage of his suit.
Although no equivalent of the Titanium Ranger was in GoGoFive and thus would not appear in Gokaiger'sLegend War, a new Titanium Ranger suit was created for the Mega War of Super Megaforce that featured the mouth plate outside the helmet.
It was confirmed that the Titanium Ranger, despite being an exclusive to Power Rangers with no Sentai counterpart, will have a limited edition Titanium Ranger Key that was exclusively available along with a shiny Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger key at the 2014 Power Morphicon.

Ryan is the first Ranger who is seen morphing in his normal clothes during his first morph, but is seen wearing his yet-to-be acquired uniform (his Lightspeed jacket) during the sequence. Continued with Cameron Watanabe, Mack Hartford, and Dominic Hargan.
In "Truth Discovered", due to a filming error, when Ryan left Diabolico he was wearing his Morpher despite the fact he had already discarded it in the previous scene.
According to Rhett Fisher on his Twitter, he did not appear as Ryan in Super Megaforce because of budget cuts.
Ryan is the first Sixth Ranger to have a different morphing call from the core team. Second if you count Mike Corbett as a Sixth Ranger.
