Villains
- Queen Bansheera
- Evil matriarch of the Demons and mother of Impus/Olympius. Gave orders in a spiritual form at the beginning of the series and returned in a mangled bodily form after an attempt by Spellbinder to bring her into human world. Gained a ghastly final form by absorbing Vypra's life energy. Had no regard for her minions (even her own son) and used them for her own gain. Attempted to open gateway to the Shadow World to unleash all of its fallen monsters but ended up becoming a resident herself after Carter kicked her into the gate and fell through because of Diabolico's doing. (voiced by Diane Salinger)
- Prince Olympius
- The son of Queen Bansheera. At the beginning of the series, he was an infant called Impus. But he gained Diabolico's star power and used it to mature into his current form. This sparked a rivalry between them after Diabolico returned. Later, in order to escape the Shadow World, was forced to absorb fallen monsters to gain another mutated form. He was reverted back to adult form when defeated by Rangers. He gained a super-powerful draconic final form near the finale and along with Diabolico, was successful in destroying nearly all of Rangers' zords. He was destroyed for good by Lifeforce Megazord. (voiced by Michael Forest)
- Diabolico
- Original antagonist of the 1st half of Lightspeed; he is a demon equipped with the Star Power. He first appeared to save Ryan from death and took him into custody. Was destroyed twice in the series, first time was when he fought the Rangers in the Lightspeed Solarzord (in episode 16), and again when facing Olympius. Was revived in advanced form along with Olympius and was destroyed by Lifeforce Megazord. Fiercely loyal, he tries to assist his friends Vypra and Loki and turns on Bansheera when he is forced to destroy Loki against his will. Assists the Rangers in spiritual form in sealing Bansheera up in the Shadow World in the finale. Armed with skull-headed staff in normal form and a sword in super-demon form. (voiced by Neil Kaplan)
- Vypra
- Female demon who attacks with her dune buggy vehicle, the Vyprari. Died near the end of the series when she was absorbed by Bansheera for failing her too many times. Later returned to life in Power Rangers Time Force to revive the super demon, Quarganon to fight against both Lightspeed Rescue and Time Force Power Rangers. Was destroyed again along with Quarganon by Wes, Carter, Eric, Chad, and Joel. Armed with a sword. (portrayed by Jennifer L. Yen)
- Loki
- Warrior demon who is a friend of Diabolico's. Was forcibly destroyed by Diabolico when Bansheera took control of his body. He was armed with a two-pronged staff. (voiced by David Lodge)
- Jinxer
- Monster-maker demon, creates monsters using magical cards and incantations. His fate was unknown as he was last seen piloting the Omega Megazord in placing the six stones for Bansheera's ceremony. The Omega Megazord was destroyed, but it is unknown if Jinxer survived or not. (voiced by Kim Strauss.) In "Olympius Unbound" Jinxer assumes the disguise of hypnotist Mister Mesmer and during a carnival show plants an evil suggestion in Captain Mitchell's subconscious. (Mesmer played by Benton Jennings.)
- Batlings
- Putty Patroller like henchmen of Bansheera. They had round black heads with bat wings protruding out of either side. They were also clad in black spandex and had bat wings coming out of their backs. Their weapons were swords.
- Ghouls: henchmen of Triskull and Trakeena, who appeared in the crossover episode Trakeena's Revenge. they were very powerful and loyal to Triskull. Nothing is heard of them after that episode.
- Cyborg Rangers: robotic counterparts to the rangers. They originally fought monsters in place of the rangers, but when a monster they were fighting struck them with lightning, they turned against the rangers and did battle with each of their respective counterparts. Each ranger eventually destroyed their respective cyborg counterpart.
