Carlos Vallertes, portrayed by Roger Velasco, is a fictional character in the Power Rangers universe, first appearing in the television series Power Rangers: Turbo.
Carlos's personality changed drastically within the change of seasons. In Turbo, he was a soccer-head (something like Conner McKnight), a loud speaker and quite cheerful. But during In Space, Carlos became very introverted, responsible and mature. This change might have been done to match his new color, by giving him a darker personality.

[edit] Character History
[edit] In Power Rangers: Turbo
He was chosen by Adam Park to become the new Green Ranger because of his assistance to Adam when the latter was trying to bring a group of Angel Grove citizens to safety during Power Rangers: Turbo, taking over control of the Desert Thunder Turbo Car, Desert ThunderTurbozord and later gaining access to the Thunder Loader Rescuezord. He was originally suggested to share a love interest with Ashley Hammond, the new Yellow Ranger, but she later turned him down and they remained friends.
When the Power Chamber was destroyed by Divatox and the defeated Power Rangers: Turbo received word that the planet Eltar, home to their original mentor Zordon, had fallen to evil forces, Carlos and the other three new Turbo Rangers - T.J., Ashley, and Cassie - left Earth for outer space in a NASADA space shuttle, powerless but ready to fight to save Zordon.
[edit] In Power Rangers in Space
Carlos and the other Rangers then met Andros, the Red Space Ranger, on the Astro Megaship, and he was given new powers as the Black Space Ranger, who later commanded the Mega V-2 (Shuttle) Zord.
[edit] Trivia
- Carlos is the first Green Ranger and Black Ranger to be of Latino descent.
- During Power Rangers: In Space, Carlos was pulled into the background, becoming a character with few lines and screentime. Additionally, most of the team shots had him on the very back or simply cut him off. This created a serious conflict with the Sentai footage, where the Black Ranger was an important part of the team and had a lot of interaction with the other characters, especially with the Red Ranger. Because of this conflict, it seemed that Carlos became a totally different character in battle, acting in various cases as the brains of the team.
