For nearly twenty-five years now, the Power Rangers have entertained kids around the world with their costumed antics and awesome Zords. The series, built off of stock footage from the Japanese TV series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (which itself is part of a series that has been running since 1975) has gone through numerous iterations with a seemingly endless slew of actors stepping in to become part of the colorful team.
Along with the Power Rangers themselves, one of the things that has helped keep the franchise alive for so long (long enough that if you watched it as a kid, you may have a kid who watches it now) is the multitude of wacky villains they have faced. Every variation of the Power Rangers, from Mighty Morphin' to Ninja Steel, has had its own rogues gallery of evil space lords, monsters, oddballs and goons. And with each iteration of the show, you have personal favorites from the fans. Sometimes the viewers like the bad guys who fall more on the scale of funny than threatening, but there's plenty of creepy creatures to choose from too.
The real question is... how well do you know those evil space lords, monsters, oddballs, and goons? Do you think you can figure out each of the ones in this quiz? You do? Well then you better get to answering some questions!
The first
Trapped in a dumpster on the moon, this baddie and her minions were released by two astronauts who should have known better. Free from her prison, this woman came to Earth to fulfill her mission of world domination, but the Power Rangers came together to constantly spoil her plans. Originally played by Machiko Soga before being replaced by Carla Perez, her voice was always provided by Barbara Goodson (for the English version). Recently, this baddie was revived for the big budget Power Rangers movie and played by Elizabeth Banks.
The goon squad
Every good bad guy needs some goons, and these weird looking fellas were the perfect punching bags for the Power Rangers. Created in a monster making machine, these alien thugs weren't strong or smart or all that good at fighting, but they made up for all that with numbers. The only way to get them to stay down for good was to hit the symbol on their chest. While some of them wore belts, it is believed that they didn't wear pants. That alone is terrifying.
The boss
Tired of seeing his generals fail at defeating the Power Rangers and taking over the Earth, this villain decided to handle the problem himself - it did not go well for him. With each of his own failures, this baddie became increasingly obsessed with the Green Ranger, and his greatest victory was in taking away the Green Ranger's power. Still, the other Power Rangers weren't going to lay down and quit, so the muscles and steel monster brought out Serpenterra, his own personal Zord.
Big bad daddy
The father of two other villains, this demonic looking space baddie from the M51 galaxy has one goal - to find the Zeo Crystal and destroy the Earth. He almost succeeded in his plans, but during his "End of the World" party, the Power Rangers were able to regroup and come up with a plan to stop him (teaching us all the valuable lesson that if you want to blow up the Earth, don't wait too long to do it).
Theatrical and evil
This Power Rangers villain only showed up once, coming in as the main baddie for the first Power Rangers movie. In it, he brainwashes all the parents of Angel Grove and put them to work digging up his Ectomorph Icons from under the city. Once the parents had completed their job, he ordered them to jump to their dooms, but the Power Rangers arrived just in time, and with their new Ninja Zords to boot. In the end, the Power Rangers defeated this enemy by kicking him in the junk and hitting him with a comet.
Mother of the Royal House
This mother of princes and wife of the king, this Power Rangers enemy carried a green folding fan and was often worried about her family's safety as they duked it out with the Power Rangers. The empress and her family gave the Power Rangers a hard time as they tried to conquer the Earth right up until they were killed by another group of Power Ranger rogues who were looking to off the competition. She and her clan did return thanks to the work of the United Alliance of Evil, but she was once again killed, this time for good.
Living by the warrior's code
This nasty robot showed up on Earth to check the status of another Power Rangers enemy and, upon seeing that the Earth had not been conquered, decided to stick around and cause some serious damage himself. He defeated the Robo Knight in one on one combat but was ultimately destroyed by the Mega Rangers when they combined the Robo Knight's power with their Ultra Power. This robot prided himself on living by the warrior's code of honor, loyalty, and dignity.
Son of evil
Imprisoned in a space dumpster by the Sentinel Knight, this son of two of the Power Rangers most evil foes broke free and, for a very brief time, cause a bit of havoc. His plan, which brought together a number of villains, nearly destroyed the Overdrive Rangers when he severed their connection to the Morphing Grid. With the Rangers weakened, this baddie set out to find the Excelsior Sword and kill the Sentinel Knight. Before he could get his hands on the sword, the big bad was killed by the Sentinel Knight.
Mistress of Magic
This enemy can resurrect her fallen soldiers with a simple spell - "Evil spirits of toil and strife, give this fallen Org new life" making her army even more dangerous than any the Rangers had fought before, and while she didn't like any of the Rangers, she had a special hatred for the White Ranger who gave her the not very nice nickname "Grandma". After being dead for a brief time, this "Duchess of Orgs" teamed up with the Power Rangers to save Princess Shayla before heading off to find herself.
The clone saga
Creating a clone of Tommy the White Ranger, the Wizard of Deception built the toughest adversary the Power Rangers had faced up to that point. After trapping the other Rangers two hundred years in the past, the evil Green Ranger defeated the White Ranger in battle and called on the Dragonzord to destroy Angel Grove. The Rangers were finally able to defeat the evil Ranger and turned him good, letting him live out the rest of his life in the distant past (where he may well have become an ancestor of the White Ranger.
Doodles of death
Fist appearing as a ten-year-old, this enemy of the Power Rangers had the ability to bring her drawings of monsters to life. After one of her plans failed, her master turned the girl into an adult, taking away her childhood. As an adult, this villain was not at all happy, believing that she was ugly and old. While she may have looked like an adult, this meanie still had the mental maturity of a child, and when Z damaged her doll, she took it out on him in a vicious way.
Portal loving pig
This pig looking alien had the ability to open up portals and used it to mess with the Thunder Rangers. He trapped two of them in a tub of popcorn with artificial flavoring and stuck the rest in an alternate dimension. When the Thunder Rangers regrouped, they were able to stop this metaphor loving baddie by using the Ram Hammer and Turtle Mace combination for the first time in the history of the series. He was later freed from the Abyss of Evil.
Traitor
Once the A-Squad Red Ranger, this enemy had nothing but disdain for the B-Squad, stating that they weren't even "fit to shine boots". As the leader of A-Squad, she and her team handled to more serious threats to Newtech City and Earth, leaving the easier jobs to the B-Squad. What no one knew, at least at first, was that this Red Ranger and her squad had betrayed SPD and joined the enemy. Their first act as villains was to slaughter everyone on the SPD outpost on Gamma 4.
One of the three
The only humanoid of the three demons working to revive Queen Bansheera, this villainess was adept in demonic magic and liked to attack the Rangers with her dune buggy. After a series of failures, her Queen Bansheera absorbed this rogue's life force into herself as punishment. Still, being all evil and demonic, this baddie wasn't done yet - she came back to life and brought an undead army with her. After she resurrected Super Demon Quaregnon she was killed by the Time Force and Lightspeed Rangers
Anything for an Energem
Obsessed with collecting the Energems, this galactic bounty hunter has run across the Dino Charge Rangers multiple times. It was while he was chasing the Keeper, holder of the Energems, when this rogue lost control of his ship and let loose a collection of asteroids he had tied up in a net. Those asteroids ended up slamming into Earth and causing the ice age, killing off the dinosaurs. His search for the Energems turned the bounty hunter and his crew into enemies of the Dino Charge Rangers, leading to an attempt to sell off the Earth to an intergalactic scrap yard.
Monarch of all that is evil!
Often called the Grand Monarch of Evil, little is known about this evil being. What is known is that this nasty piece of work was responsible for the attack on Eltar and the capture of Zordon. He also created the United Alliance of Evil Finally putting his master plan into effect, this Grand Monarch launched attacks on multiple planets across the galaxy at once, forcing the good guys to split up their forces to protect the universe. During the war, one of his own underlings turned on the Grand Monarch and killed him with a planet-destroying missile.
The coolest name
A cowardly lackey who had the ability to turn into an ATV style vehicle, this ugly creature was better at hiding than he was at fighting. Still he did have an awesome name. Along with running away and hiding, this whimpering fool was more than happy to switch alliances when he felt that his master was going to lose, only to switch back when he thought he was going to die. In the end, it was the Turbo Builder that did him in.
The best blue spy
A less than smart minion to Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa, during battles this blue meanie was more of a cheerleader than a fighter but his spying skills made him a valuable member of the bad guys. Though how he could come down to Earth and spy on the Power Rangers during their off hours is a mystery - you'd think a Monsters Inc. reject would stick out in a crowd. Last seen alongside masters when Zordon's Energy Wave was released, purging the universe of evil it is unclear if he was cleansed or evaporated.
Kindergarten killer
A trained fighter by the time he entered kindergarten, this bodyguard came to Earth with his boss as they searched for the Ninja Nexus Prism. Their search led to the Power Rangers taking notice of their activity and soon enough, this brute was tussling with our heroes on a regular basis. Always ready to defend his boss - whom he called "Champ" - this tough guy had a hair-trigger temper and would beat up anyone who talked about his momma. While he was a real challenge for the Power Rangers, they finally defeated him using the Ninja Fusion Zord
The spoiled princess
The daughter of the galactic tyrant Scorpius and a human woman, this evil lady was spoiled by her daddy, but she wanted something he couldn't give her - respect. Even as a child, she would conspire with her father's generals, creating plans to attack various planets and sometimes putting them into motion, all in the hopes that she could prove herself as a great warrior. When she learned that her father wanted her to enter into a cocoon so that she would become full insect, she ran off, but after his death, she accepted the transformation.
An honorable death
The arch-rival of the Magna Defender, this evil jerk imprisoned the sworn enemy of Scorpius within the planet Mirinoi for three thousand years. After Furio's destruction, this villain was tasked with finding the Lights of Orion and destroy the Rangers. After a disastrous battle, this baddie demanded to fight the Red Galaxy Ranger one on one in a fight to the death. The battle raged on for a while before the Red Ranger gained the upper hand and badly wounded the villain. Still, this enemy of peace continued to attack, forcing the Red Ranger to deal a death blow.
A wish to be king
As the leader of the Phantom Beasts, this nasty gent possessed the Avalon Dragon Animal Spirit and was more than happy to use it against the Power Rangers on his journey to become the Phantom Beast King. In order to become Phantom Beast King, this baddie would first have to take out Dai Shi, the current King whom he suspected was unable to fully suppress his human host. During the Final Beast War, this enemy was destroyed by the Power Rangers and the Pai Zhuq Masters.
Deadly cute
Probably the most ruthless and dangerous minion Rita Repulsa had on her side, this evil woman was as deadly as she was cute. Her innocent looks and cheerful smile hid a truly sadistic personality that made Rita's other minions fear her. When things got tough, this happy go lucky gal could turn into a giant monster that could take on the Power Rangers. When Lord Zedd showed up to take over for Rita Repulsa, this evil creature quickly vanished. Where she went no one knows.
Little thing, big trouble
The true leader of the forces of darkness and Supreme Master of the Underworld, this evil being is so feared and revered by other monsters and aliens that they all speak of him and to him with respect. When the Morlocks attempted to invade the Surface Realm during the Great War, this creature was trapped in the Pit by the great wizard Leanbow. This great evil was finally destroyed when his minions turned on him, opening the way for the Power Rangers to release their mystic forces.
Host with the most
This alien is the host of Galaxy Warriors, a popular intergalactic game show where contestants battle to prove who is the most powerful warrior. The warriors who win are given the chance to win a Ninja Power Star if the Prism opens up for them. While he has no wish to see the Power Rangers killed, this host does want them to fight and fight often - each time the Power Rangers appear on his show, the ratings go through the roof.
