Lord Zedd

Lord Zedd

Lord Zedd is an intergalactic warlord who was the primary antagonist for the first 40 episodes of the second season and co-antagonist for the rest of season 2 and all of season 3. When he first appeared in the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Zedd proclaimed himself "the emperor of all that is evil" and was revealed to be Rita's superior, a fact that surprised the Rangers when they learned of his existence and position in the galaxy at large. Zedd was shown to be furious with Rita's constant failures for being defeated by what he termed 'mere infants' and 'children'. Despite knowing that Zordon was still alive, he was determined to conquer Earth and destroy the Rangers himself. For Rita's repeated failures, Zedd has her punished by shrinking her and sealing her away in a space dumpster to travel for eternity. Despite his early defeats, Zedd's attack on Earth became progressively more violent and focused most of his attention on eliminating Tommy, whom he saw as Rita's biggest mistake. He succeeded in eliminating the Green Ranger powers with the help of a green crystal that serves to drain Tommy's powers as well as serving to power up his own brand of evil rangers. After both the crystal and Turbanshell were destroyed, he finally succeeded in depriving Tommy of the remaining power that the Green Ranger had left, rendering him powerless for a time until he became the White Ranger.
