History Characters / PowerRangersInSpace

A stingray monster that the rangers used for the Simudeck.

* StarterVillain: The first true monster the Rangers fought against.

* CombatTentacles: Of the electric kind.

* {{Invisibility}}: Had this ability, but was quickly found by Cassie's Satellite Stunner.

* WhipItGood: The Astro Megazord Saber can be energized and used as a laser whip.

The Astro Megaship is the home base to the Space Rangers and serves as their transportation to travel the galaxy. When combined with the [=NASADA=] Space Shuttle, it forms the Astro Megazord.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The [=NASADA=] Shuttle appeared at the end of ''Turbo''.

* CombiningMecha: Both the Astro Megaship and the Space Shuttle combine to form the Astro Megazord. Though in this case, the Megaship forms the majority of the Megazord, leaving the Shuttle to form the head.
* CoolGun: The Astro Megazord's secondary weapon is the Astro Megazord Blaster, which is the transformed state of the Shuttle's Booster Sled.

** ''Finisher 1'': After energizing the Astro Megazord Saber, the Megazord slashes at the monster to destroy it.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Astro Megazord's other weapon is the Astro Megazord Shield, which it sometime uses to protect itself when going back to planet from the burn out.

* FinishingMove:
** '''Astro Delta Megazord''':
*** ''Flying Power Punch'': The Astro Delta Megazord fires its fists towards the monster, striking a powerful strike that destroys it.
*** ''Unknown Finisher'': The Astro Delta Megazord energizes its body with energy before launching itself towards the enemy in a cyclone spin attack.

Zhane's personal Zord. It was built by the Ko-35 rebels as a gift for helping them.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's unknown what happened to him after Zhane rescued Astronema from him attacking her. However, there's a good chance either her, the Rangers or Ecliptor destroyed him after said incident.

* BadassCape: At first. It's soon discarded.
* BattleButler: For Astronema
* BerserkButton: Anything to do with Darkonda.

* TheDragon: To Astronema.

** '''Finisher 1''': After energizing the Astro Megazord Saber, the Megazord slashes at the monster to destroy it.
** '''Finisher 2''': The Astro Megazord fires a full powered blast from its blaster to destroy a monster.

-->'''Portrayed by:''' Aloma Wright, Ángeles Bravo (Latin American Spanish), Mari Maruta (Japanese)

* TheDarkChick: PsychoPink. She's the first member of the Psychos defeated, the EvilCounterpart of TheChick and a case of PinkMeansFeminine. Unusually for a Dark Chick, she's THE ''strongest'' '''''and''''' ''toughest'' member of the team, outliving her teammates during the crossover with ''Lost Galaxy'' and being the only Psycho Ranger who successfully killed a ranger (sans the comics' exclusive character Psycho Green). [[spoiler:''The Psycho Path'' comic also reveals that Psycho Pink is the nicer member of the Psychos]].

-->'''Portrayed by:''' Jack Banning

A scientist who specializes in alien searching, and Bulk and Skull's new boss.

* AllThereInTheScript: The scripts say that his first name is "Elliott".
* CatchPhrase: He sees what he thinks is evidence of aliens. Bulk or Skull point out that it's something mundane. He replies, "Perhaps to the untrained eye!"
* CloudCuckooLander: Sees aliens ''everywhere'', despite a lack of evidence, and never manages to find them. Quite an accomplishment, given how hard it is to go for a walk in Angel Grove without tripping over alien activity. He manages to make Bulk and Skull look like the normal ones in comparison.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: He's consistently too late by about an episode or so in terms of locating alien activity, but it ''was'' there.
* DemotedToExtra: Alongside Bulk and Skull. He appeared semi-frequently in early episodes during the season but largely vanished after Darkonda is introduced. The Psycho Rangers arc didn’t feature him at all.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Until the final episode, he wasn't aware of who the Space Rangers were.

The mysterious Ranger from Turbo.
!!!Note: This section only applies to tropes featured in ''In Space''. For the rest, see the [[Characters/PowerRangersTurbo character sheet]] for ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''.

* {{Invisibility}}: He still has this ability.
* MysteriousProtector: He continues to be this to the former Turbo Rangers as he lends them the Delta Megazord for future battles.
* ShipTease: With Cassie, continuing from Turbo: at the end of his last message to the Rangers.
--> "I'll be alright, Cassie. Please - don't forget me."
* TheUnreveal: Perhaps the biggest unanswered question in the entire PR metaseries. Who ''is'' he? It's likely the suit is his real body.
* TheWorfEffect: Last season, the Phantom Ranger could take on a squad of Piranhatrons with ease. Here, he struggled against an entire army.

!!!Note: This section only applies to tropes featured in ''In Space''. For the rest, see the [[Characters/PowerRangersTurbo character sheet]] for ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''.
* BigDamnHeroes: He and Storm Blaster drive through the door of a warehouse to free the Rangers, who are seconds from eating the business end of Lionizer's cannon.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: When Lionizer grows, Justin decides to sit out as he does not have a Zord to help his former teammates (as the Turbo Zords were destroyed in the previous season's finale).
* RePower: Thanks to a spare morpher provided by Storm Blaster, Justin was able to morph for one more battle.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dark_specter.jpg]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' T.J. Rotolo (First voice), Cristopher Cho (Second voice), Alfonso Mellado (Latin American Spanish), Creator/YujiKishi (Japanese)

The Grand Monarch of Evil and the leader of the United Alliance of Evil. He was responsible for capturing Zordon.

* AdaptationalBadass: He's based on (though uses a different costume than) King Javious from ''Megaranger'', who in addition to being OrcusOnHisThrone was TheManBehindTheCurtain as well and was predictably killed off by his subordinates at the first opportunity. Specter still doesn't do much, but he's got the firepower and [[NighInvulnerability stamina]] to back up his GalacticConqueror cred. Additionally, whereas the Neziranger plot killed Javious off in the Sentai, he survived the Psycho Ranger plot here (though he still got offed in the end).
* AssholeVictim: He is the last of Darkonda's ambition-driven backstabs before being killed by him. But he is also responsible for the conflicts and evil of this season and the seasons before it, in addition to ruling the universe and using a planet-killer asteroid on the Earth, leaving little sympathy towards his death. He at least makes Darkonda into one as well by taking him down with him.
* ColonyDrop: One of the few times he acts directly? Throwing a planet killer asteroid at the Earth. He nearly wins. OrcusOnHisThrone he may be, but when he actually tries, he ''definitely'' makes one.
* DimensionLord: ''Of our dimension''.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's built up as the Rangers' greatest threat, but is killed off in the penultimate episode before ever truly confronting them, leaving [[TheHeavy Astronema]] as the FinalBoss.
* TheDreaded: Merely invoking his name is a good way to get other villains, including Rita and Zedd, to shut up and do as they're told.
* EvilIsBigger: The largest villain in the whole Zordon era, if not the entire franchise[[note]][[Series/PowerRangersSPD Omni]], [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Imperious]], and [[Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers Evox]] do try their best to measure up though[[/note]].
%%* EvilOverlord
* {{Expy}}: A CompositeCharacter of not 2, not 3, but ''4'' Sentai villains.
** His connections to the Psycho Rangers and being the ''Megaranger'' villains' boss make him the direct counterpart to [[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Evil Electro-King Javious I]].
** His desire to unify the galaxy under his control makes him the closest thing ''Power Rangers'' will ever have to [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Star King Bazoo]].
** As the ultimate evil of all the other villains, he's the ''real'' adaptation of [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Dai-Satan]], as opposed to Lokar (who used the footage, but was DemotedToExtra).
** Lastly, his size, as well as [[spoiler: his death being at the hands of another villain]], make him one of [[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Emperor Exhaus]] (like Lokar, Exhaus's costume was used for a different villain - Goldgoyle - with a different role).
* FlatCharacter: Because he's the GreaterScopeVillain instead of the BigBad he has less screen time and development than other villains. He's basically this uber-villain in the background.
* GalacticConqueror: As near as we can tell, between his own conquests and his semi-independent minions, he's conquered the universe aside from Earth, Triforia, Aquitar, and ''maybe'' [[Series/MaskedRider Edenoi]] (and possibly Mirinoi).
* GreaterScopeVillain: He's the true leader of every villain in this season and all the past ones, but the Rangers' primary antagonist is Astronema. Even when they do meet him, they never directly confront him.
* LargeAndInCharge: This guy makes the [[CoolStarship Dark Fortress]] look puny by comparison.
* TheManBehindTheMan: For Astronema, Rita, Zedd, Mondo, and Divatox. All of them were working for him.
* OffstageVillainy: Has apparently conquered most of the universe offscreen.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Given that he's made using an expensive ''Power Rangers'' invented costume, he takes very little action against the Rangers himself. The few times he ''does'', however, show he's not to be trifled with, such as chucking a ''planet-killer asteroid'' at Earth.
* RememberTheNewGuy: The supposed leader of all the villains seen in all the previous series, and before the finale of ''Turbo'', he was NEVER mentioned.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Evil King Javious in ''Megaranger'', he basically plays the same role, despite looking nothing like him. However, he's also ''much'' stronger than him.
** His costume was recycled from Maligore from ''Turbo'', something that's even lampshaded by Divatox saying that he reminds her of him.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After being mortally wounded by [[TheStarscream Darkonda]], he manages to survive just long enough to [[EatenAlive swallow Darkonda whole]]]].
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill:
** The one time he tries to destroy the Rangers himself? He chucks a ''planet-killer asteroid'' at the Earth. The guy doesn't pull his punches when he decides he wants someone dead.
** [[spoiler:It takes ''two'' Planet Killer missiles, one [[BoomHeadShot hitting him directly in the head]], to kill him. Even then, he manages to [[TakingYouWithMe take down his killer with him.]]]]
* TronLines: The red lines on his body appear to be these since when his energy is drained during the Psycho Ranger arc, they start turning dark blue.
* TheUnfought: Is never fought by the heroes, despite being the Big Bad. [[spoiler:Instead, it's [[TheStarscream Darkonda]] that takes him out. With ''two'' planet buster missiles.]] Interestingly, early drafts of ''Forever Red'' subverted this, as he would've been resurrected and fought by the 10 Red Rangers instead, but this was scrapped.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LexLang, Armando Réndiz (Latin American Spanish), Katsuhiro Kitagawa (Japanese)

Astronema's second-in-command and the Princess' father figure. He is also one of the most lethal fighters in the known universe and the veteran of countless battles.

* AdaptationalHeroism: His ''Megaranger'' counterpart, Yugande, didn't have much personality besides being evil and having a rivalry with the Red Ranger, whereas Ecliptor is a NobleDemon who would do anything for Astronema out of parental love, even letting her go and fight his evil allies.
* AntiVillain: As stated above.
* ArchEnemy: Of all of Astronema's forces, he and Andros share the most animostiy and the most one-on-one battle with each other.
* AscendedExtra: While Yugande was one of the main Nezirejia generals in ''Megaranger'', he wasn't the second-in-command of the antagonists unlike Ecliptor, who as a result gets a larger role.
* BadassCape: At first. It's soon discarded.
* BattleButler: For Astronema
* BerserkButton: Anything to do with Darkonda.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Acted much like your typical ''Power Rangers'' villain at first, with no depth and no clear role in the show. (He also had [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands weird powers he didn't use much after the first few episodes]] thanks to the ''Megaranger'' footage.) He soon evolved into a NobleDemon with an important role in the backstory.
* ChekhovsGunman: He first appears in "Save Our Ship" and, while Andros is already familiar with him, he's generally portrayed as just a tough MonsterOfTheWeek to be taken down during the Megazord fight. As noted below, you couldn't even be sure he was even working for Astronema and wasn't just some random one-off enemy picking a fight. "Never Stop Searching" shows he is still alive, and it and his next few appearances begin fleshing him out as TheDragon (as well as occasionally dropping hints about his overall importance to the season's storyline).
* CoolSword: His main weapon.
* DeathIsCheap: Several of his early fights tend to end with Ecliptor apparently being killed, and yet he always returns soon enough with no explanation (since in ''Megaranger'' Yugande was a robot and could just be rebuilt when destroyed).
* DetachmentCombat: An early fight had him detach his head off his body to blast Andros.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Of the "dies later" variant. Yugande died after he entered his temporary red mode, being destroyed by Kenta, while Ecliptor survived the fight and died at the end of the season due to the Z-Wave.
* DiabolusExNihilo: His first appearance doesn't establish him as having any allegiance to Astronema; he just randomly appears to attack Andros. Later episodes do expand on his character, though.
* TheDragon: To Astronema.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Loves Astronema as though she were his own daughter.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: An untrustworthy psychopath like Darkonda is not someone he wants anything to do with.
* EvilLaugh: Constantly!
* EvilVersusEvil: He and Darkonda eventually start trying to kill one another, up until Darkonda forcibly reprograms him.
* EvilVirtues: Loyalty for Astronema.
* EyeBeams: In varieties, too!
* FinalBoss: After Astronema is seemingly killed, Ecliptor steps up to fight Andros, making their battle the final one for not just ''in Space'', but also the ''Zordon Era'' of franchise.
* FusionDance: With Darkonda as '''''Darkliptor''''' in "T.J.'s Identity Crisis" and "Astronema Thinks Twice". It's entirely unwilling on his part, and he can override it with enough discipline.
* LightIsNotGood: Most of his powers seem to be based around holo-projection (referred to as "cyber-shadows") and concentrated light blasts.
* NobleDemon: Starts the trend that continues with [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Villamax]], [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Diabolico]], [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Zen-Aku]] and [[Series/PowerRangersSamurai Deker]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: Comes to the rescue of Astronema when she is making a HeelFaceTurn. As a result, Dark Specter has Darkonda turn him into a cyborg to prevent any future disobedience. Though given Ecliptor sides with Astronema in her plans against Dark Specter, it didn't work any better than Astronema.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Whenever Andros is part of the equation.
* PapaWolf: Raised Astronema from age five and he seems to be the only one she always seems to care about (usually, at any rate).
* PowerEchoes
* TronLines: His body is covered in them.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Astronema. [[spoiler:Even when she decides to betray Dark Specter.]]
* UnwillingRoboticisation: Darkonda has him rebuilt into a cyborg after he [[spoiler: refuses to stop Karone from joining the Rangers]].
* VillainousBreakdown: Upon seeing Astronema's [[DisneyDeath corpse]] in "Countdown To Destruction"

[[folder:Darkonda]]
!!Darkonda
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flashes_of_darkonda___pris_classixx_special_finale.png]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SteveKramer, Luis Alfonso Padilla (Latin American Spanish), Creator/ShinpachiTsuji (Japanese)

A ruthless and violent bounty hunter under the United Alliance of Evil's rule. [[spoiler:He was also responsible for kidnapping Karone at a young age, turning her into Astronema]].

* AdaptationalJerkass: Guirail was just as vile as him, but whereas Guirail was loyal to Javious, Darkonda was out to overthrow Dark Specter and become ruler of the universe.
* AscendedExtra: His [[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Sentai counterpart]] Guirail dies with the arrival of the [[MidSeasonUpgrade Mega Voyager]]. Darkonda, however, lasts for the remainder of the series, thanks to him having [[CatsHaveNineLives nine lives like a cat]].
* BountyHunter: Before the series, it was his source of income.
* CardCarryingVillain: While almost all PR villains fall into this trope, he takes it a step further by taking great pride in being a villain.
-->'''Andros:''' YOU KIDNAPPED MY SISTER!
-->'''Darkonda:''' One of my finest accomplishments.
* CatsHaveNineLives: Darkonda has nine lives to his name, meaning that even if he dies, he will come back no worse than when he was destroyed. Over the course of the season, Darkonda died six times on screen with two unknown causes before finally dying for good in the finale.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: And loving it.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Of the "dies later" variant. While his ''Megaranger'' counterpart died at the Mega Voyager's hands, he survived till the end thanks to his multiple lives. He dies in the finale due to Dark Specter eating him.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: Destroys Dark Specter, the lord of all evil, who is also the size of a planet]].
* EatenAlive: [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the above led to this]].
* FusionDance: With Ecliptor as '''''Darkliptor''''' in "T.J.'s Identity Crisis" and "Astronema Thinks Twice".
* HateSink: The first of the franchise to be irredeemably evil and depraved. Once he debuts, it’s clear by other villains' reactions that a more vile kind of villain has come to the series. His actions are some of the most horrific to date, especially in an era with your typical cartoon Bad Bosses who have at least some redeeming feature in their otherwise evil personalities.
* TheHeavy: The central antagonist of the story[[spoiler:, being the one who caused Astronema's StartOfDarkness, Andros' trauma leading to him being distrustful of others and Ecliptor's brainwashing. Ecliptor's brainwashing led to Astronema's brainwashing, which led to Astronema becoming TheStarscream, which led to the ''PsychoRangers''. [[ForWantOfANail And all of this because of Darkonda (and Dark Specter)]]]]. He also replaces Astronema as the main antagonist after [[spoiler:her short-lived HeelFaceTurn]].
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: At one point, he trusts Elgar with a vital task. Elgar gets confused about what the task is (keep a look-out for intruders) two seconds after they finish talking.
* InexplicablyAwesome: For no explained reason he has multiple lives.
* KickTheDog: He brags about kidnapping Karone as his greatest accomplishment around Andros.
* ManipulativeBastard: Fits this trope to a T.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: In his debut, Darkonda used a special ray to grow his Barillian Bug monster.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: His ChronicBackstabbingDisorder is ''the only reason Evil does not rule the universe''.
* OutOfContinues: Darkonda started with nine lives at the start but over the course of the season, he died to either the Rangers, Ecliptor, or himself by accident. By the finale, Darkonda only had one life left and decided to use it to go out in a blaze of glory.
* PsychoForHire: His occupation, his joy in the atrocities he commits, and his unpredictability makes him this.
* RetractableWeapon: His main weapon is a Telescoping Sword that can grow at will.
* SlasherSmile: His default (only) expression.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His head is covered in them.
* TheSociopath: [[ItsAllAboutMe Caring only for himself?]] Check! LackOfEmpathy and [[KickTheDog sheer enjoyment of all his crimes]]? Check! A ChronicBackstabbingDisorder and [[ManipulativeBastard deceptive streak]]? Check! He seems to be the first one in the entire franchise and the only one in the Zordon Era.
* TheStarscream: Interestingly, he wasn't after the BigBad of the season per se. Rather, he wanted to go all the way and destroy the GreaterScopeVillain. He succeeded, but [[TakingYouWithMe failed to survive the attack]].
* UnexplainedRecovery: He somehow has nine lives (like a cat), and thus whenever he's seemingly destroyed, he'll appear good as new. That said, he's down to only one life by the finale.
* TheUnfettered: He will use any underhanded or dirty trick to win.
* WelcomeBackTraitor: After Astronema gets forcibly brainwashed back into evil, she kicks Darkonda out. He eventually returns, once again working with her with no explanation.
* WouldHurtAChild: Not only does he kidnap Karone, but he also regrets not having killed Andros while he was at it.

Five evil copies of the Power Rangers that were created by Astronema. Not only were they created to destroy their counterparts, but their main unknown goal was to drain Dark Specter's powers.

-->'''Portrayed by:''' Jack Banning
-->'''Voiced by:''' Gabriel Chavez (Latin American Spanish), Katsuhiro Kitagawa (Japanese)
A scientist who specializes in alien searching, and Bulk and Skull's new boss.

* AllThereInTheScript: The scripts say that his first name is "Elliott".
* CatchPhrase: He sees what he thinks is evidence of aliens. Bulk or Skull point out that it's something mundane. He replies, "Perhaps to the untrained eye!"
* CloudCuckooLander: Sees aliens ''everywhere'', despite a lack of evidence, and never manages to find them. Quite an accomplishment, given how hard it is to go for a walk in Angel Grove without tripping over alien activity. He manages to make Bulk and Skull look like the normal ones in comparison.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: He's consistently too late by about an episode or so in terms of locating alien activity, but it ''was'' there.
* DemotedToExtra: Alongside Bulk and Skull. He appeared semi-frequently in early episodes during the season but largely vanished after Darkonda is introduced. The Psycho Rangers arc didn’t feature him at all.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Until the final episode, he wasn't aware of who the Space Rangers were.

* ShipTease: With Cassie, continuing from Turbo: at the end of his last message to the Rangers.
--> "I'll be alright, Cassie. Please - don't forget me."
* TheUnreveal: Perhaps the biggest unanswered question in the entire PR metaseries. Who ''is'' he? It's likely the suit is his real body.
* TheWorfEffect: Last season, the Phantom Ranger could take on a squad of Piranhatrons with ease. Here, he struggled against an entire army.

!!!Note: This section only applies to tropes featured in ''In Space''. For the rest, see the [[Characters/PowerRangersTurbo character sheet]] for ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''.
* BigDamnHeroes: He and Storm Blaster drive through the door of a warehouse to free the Rangers, who are seconds from eating the business end of Lionizer's cannon.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: When Lionizer grows, Justin decides to sit out as he does not have a Zord to help his former teammates (as the Turbo Zords were destroyed in the previous season's finale).

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dark_specter.jpg]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' T.J. Rotolo (First voice), Cristopher Cho (Second voice), Alfonso Mellado (Latin American Spanish), Creator/YujiKishi (Japanese)

The Grand Monarch of Evil and the leader of the United Alliance of Evil. He was responsible for capturing Zordon.

* AdaptationalBadass: He's based on (though uses a different costume than) King Javious from ''Megaranger'', who in addition to being OrcusOnHisThrone was TheManBehindTheCurtain as well and was predictably killed off by his subordinates at the first opportunity. Specter still doesn't do much, but he's got the firepower and [[NighInvulnerability stamina]] to back up his GalacticConqueror cred. Additionally, whereas the Neziranger plot killed Javious off in the Sentai, he survived the Psycho Ranger plot here (though he still got offed in the end).
* AssholeVictim: He is the last of Darkonda's ambition-driven backstabs before being killed by him. But he is also responsible for the conflicts and evil of this season and the seasons before it, in addition to ruling the universe and using a planet-killer asteroid on the Earth, leaving little sympathy towards his death. He at least makes Darkonda into one as well by taking him down with him.
* ColonyDrop: One of the few times he acts directly? Throwing a planet killer asteroid at the Earth. He nearly wins. OrcusOnHisThrone he may be, but when he actually tries, he ''definitely'' makes one.
* DimensionLord: ''Of our dimension''.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's built up as the Rangers' greatest threat, but is killed off in the penultimate episode before ever truly confronting them, leaving [[TheHeavy Astronema]] as the FinalBoss.
* TheDreaded: Merely invoking his name is a good way to get other villains, including Rita and Zedd, to shut up and do as they're told.
* EvilIsBigger: The largest villain in the whole Zordon era, if not the entire franchise[[note]][[Series/PowerRangersSPD Omni]], [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Imperious]], and [[Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers Evox]] do try their best to measure up though[[/note]].
%%* EvilOverlord
* {{Expy}}: A CompositeCharacter of not 2, not 3, but ''4'' Sentai villains.
** His connections to the Psycho Rangers and being the ''Megaranger'' villains' boss make him the direct counterpart to [[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Evil Electro-King Javious I]].
** His desire to unify the galaxy under his control makes him the closest thing ''Power Rangers'' will ever have to [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Star King Bazoo]].
** As the ultimate evil of all the other villains, he's the ''real'' adaptation of [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Dai-Satan]], as opposed to Lokar (who used the footage, but was DemotedToExtra).
** Lastly, his size, as well as [[spoiler: his death being at the hands of another villain]], make him one of [[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Emperor Exhaus]] (like Lokar, Exhaus's costume was used for a different villain - Goldgoyle - with a different role).
* FlatCharacter: Because he's the GreaterScopeVillain instead of the BigBad he has less screen time and development than other villains. He's basically this uber-villain in the background.
* GalacticConqueror: As near as we can tell, between his own conquests and his semi-independent minions, he's conquered the universe aside from Earth, Triforia, Aquitar, and ''maybe'' [[Series/MaskedRider Edenoi]] (and possibly Mirinoi).
* GreaterScopeVillain: He's the true leader of every villain in this season and all the past ones, but the Rangers' primary antagonist is Astronema. Even when they do meet him, they never directly confront him.
* LargeAndInCharge: This guy makes the [[CoolStarship Dark Fortress]] look puny by comparison.
* TheManBehindTheMan: For Astronema, Rita, Zedd, Mondo, and Divatox. All of them were working for him.
* OffstageVillainy: Has apparently conquered most of the universe offscreen.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Given that he's made using an expensive ''Power Rangers'' invented costume, he takes very little action against the Rangers himself. The few times he ''does'', however, show he's not to be trifled with, such as chucking a ''planet-killer asteroid'' at Earth.
* RememberTheNewGuy: The supposed leader of all the villains seen in all the previous series, and before the finale of ''Turbo'', he was NEVER mentioned.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Evil King Javious in ''Megaranger'', he basically plays the same role, despite looking nothing like him. However, he's also ''much'' stronger than him.
** His costume was recycled from Maligore from ''Turbo'', something that's even lampshaded by Divatox saying that he reminds her of him.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After being mortally wounded by [[TheStarscream Darkonda]], he manages to survive just long enough to [[EatenAlive swallow Darkonda whole]]]].
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill:
** The one time he tries to destroy the Rangers himself? He chucks a ''planet-killer asteroid'' at the Earth. The guy doesn't pull his punches when he decides he wants someone dead.
** [[spoiler:It takes ''two'' Planet Killer missiles, one [[BoomHeadShot hitting him directly in the head]], to kill him. Even then, he manages to [[TakingYouWithMe take down his killer with him.]]]]
* TronLines: The red lines on his body appear to be these since when his energy is drained during the Psycho Ranger arc, they start turning dark blue.
* TheUnfought: Is never fought by the heroes, despite being the Big Bad. [[spoiler:Instead, it's [[TheStarscream Darkonda]] that takes him out. With ''two'' planet buster missiles.]] Interestingly, early drafts of ''Forever Red'' subverted this, as he would've been resurrected and fought by the 10 Red Rangers instead, but this was scrapped.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LexLang, Armando Réndiz (Latin American Spanish), Katsuhiro Kitagawa (Japanese)

Astronema's second-in-command and the Princess' father figure. He is also one of the most lethal fighters in the known universe and the veteran of countless battles.

* AdaptationalHeroism: His ''Megaranger'' counterpart, Yugande, didn't have much personality besides being evil and having a rivalry with the Red Ranger, whereas Ecliptor is a NobleDemon who would do anything for Astronema out of parental love, even letting her go and fight his evil allies.
* AntiVillain: As stated above.
* ArchEnemy: Of all of Astronema's forces, he and Andros share the most animostiy and the most one-on-one battle with each other.
* AscendedExtra: While Yugande was one of the main Nezirejia generals in ''Megaranger'', he wasn't the second-in-command of the antagonists unlike Ecliptor, who as a result gets a larger role.
* BadassCape: At first. It's soon discarded.
* BattleButler: For Astronema
* BerserkButton: Anything to do with Darkonda.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Acted much like your typical ''Power Rangers'' villain at first, with no depth and no clear role in the show. (He also had [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands weird powers he didn't use much after the first few episodes]] thanks to the ''Megaranger'' footage.) He soon evolved into a NobleDemon with an important role in the backstory.
* ChekhovsGunman: He first appears in "Save Our Ship" and, while Andros is already familiar with him, he's generally portrayed as just a tough MonsterOfTheWeek to be taken down during the Megazord fight. As noted below, you couldn't even be sure he was even working for Astronema and wasn't just some random one-off enemy picking a fight. "Never Stop Searching" shows he is still alive, and it and his next few appearances begin fleshing him out as TheDragon (as well as occasionally dropping hints about his overall importance to the season's storyline).
* CoolSword: His main weapon.
* DeathIsCheap: Several of his early fights tend to end with Ecliptor apparently being killed, and yet he always returns soon enough with no explanation (since in ''Megaranger'' Yugande was a robot and could just be rebuilt when destroyed).
* DetachmentCombat: An early fight had him detach his head off his body to blast Andros.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Of the "dies later" variant. Yugande died after he entered his temporary red mode, being destroyed by Kenta, while Ecliptor survived the fight and died at the end of the season due to the Z-Wave.
* DiabolusExNihilo: His first appearance doesn't establish him as having any allegiance to Astronema; he just randomly appears to attack Andros. Later episodes do expand on his character, though.
* TheDragon: To Astronema.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Loves Astronema as though she were his own daughter.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: An untrustworthy psychopath like Darkonda is not someone he wants anything to do with.
* EvilLaugh: Constantly!
* EvilVersusEvil: He and Darkonda eventually start trying to kill one another, up until Darkonda forcibly reprograms him.
* EvilVirtues: Loyalty for Astronema.
* EyeBeams: In varieties, too!
* FinalBoss: After Astronema is seemingly killed, Ecliptor steps up to fight Andros, making their battle the final one for not just ''in Space'', but also the ''Zordon Era'' of franchise.
* FusionDance: With Darkonda as '''''Darkliptor''''' in "T.J.'s Identity Crisis" and "Astronema Thinks Twice". It's entirely unwilling on his part, and he can override it with enough discipline.
* LightIsNotGood: Most of his powers seem to be based around holo-projection (referred to as "cyber-shadows") and concentrated light blasts.
* NobleDemon: Starts the trend that continues with [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Villamax]], [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Diabolico]], [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Zen-Aku]] and [[Series/PowerRangersSamurai Deker]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: Comes to the rescue of Astronema when she is making a HeelFaceTurn. As a result, Dark Specter has Darkonda turn him into a cyborg to prevent any future disobedience. Though given Ecliptor sides with Astronema in her plans against Dark Specter, it didn't work any better than Astronema.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Whenever Andros is part of the equation.
* PapaWolf: Raised Astronema from age five and he seems to be the only one she always seems to care about (usually, at any rate).
* PowerEchoes
* TronLines: His body is covered in them.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Astronema. [[spoiler:Even when she decides to betray Dark Specter.]]
* UnwillingRoboticisation: Darkonda has him rebuilt into a cyborg after he [[spoiler: refuses to stop Karone from joining the Rangers]].
* VillainousBreakdown: Upon seeing Astronema's [[DisneyDeath corpse]] in "Countdown To Destruction"

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SteveKramer, Luis Alfonso Padilla (Latin American Spanish), Creator/ShinpachiTsuji (Japanese)

A ruthless and violent bounty hunter under the United Alliance of Evil's rule. [[spoiler:He was also responsible for kidnapping Karone at a young age, turning her into Astronema]].

* AdaptationalJerkass: Guirail was just as vile as him, but whereas Guirail was loyal to Javious, Darkonda was out to overthrow Dark Specter and become ruler of the universe.
* AscendedExtra: His [[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Sentai counterpart]] Guirail dies with the arrival of the [[MidSeasonUpgrade Mega Voyager]]. Darkonda, however, lasts for the remainder of the series, thanks to him having [[CatsHaveNineLives nine lives like a cat]].
* BountyHunter: Before the series, it was his source of income.
* CardCarryingVillain: While almost all PR villains fall into this trope, he takes it a step further by taking great pride in being a villain.
-->'''Andros:''' YOU KIDNAPPED MY SISTER!
-->'''Darkonda:''' One of my finest accomplishments.
* CatsHaveNineLives: Darkonda has nine lives to his name, meaning that even if he dies, he will come back no worse than when he was destroyed. Over the course of the season, Darkonda died six times on screen with two unknown causes before finally dying for good in the finale.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: And loving it.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Of the "dies later" variant. While his ''Megaranger'' counterpart died at the Mega Voyager's hands, he survived till the end thanks to his multiple lives. He dies in the finale due to Dark Specter eating him.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: Destroys Dark Specter, the lord of all evil, who is also the size of a planet]].
* EatenAlive: [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the above led to this]].
* FusionDance: With Ecliptor as '''''Darkliptor''''' in "T.J.'s Identity Crisis" and "Astronema Thinks Twice".
* HateSink: The first of the franchise to be irredeemably evil and depraved. Once he debuts, it’s clear by other villains' reactions that a more vile kind of villain has come to the series. His actions are some of the most horrific to date, especially in an era with your typical cartoon Bad Bosses who have at least some redeeming feature in their otherwise evil personalities.
* TheHeavy: The central antagonist of the story[[spoiler:, being the one who caused Astronema's StartOfDarkness, Andros' trauma leading to him being distrustful of others and Ecliptor's brainwashing. Ecliptor's brainwashing led to Astronema's brainwashing, which led to Astronema becoming TheStarscream, which led to the ''PsychoRangers''. [[ForWantOfANail And all of this because of Darkonda (and Dark Specter)]]]]. He also replaces Astronema as the main antagonist after [[spoiler:her short-lived HeelFaceTurn]].
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: At one point, he trusts Elgar with a vital task. Elgar gets confused about what the task is (keep a look-out for intruders) two seconds after they finish talking.
* InexplicablyAwesome: For no explained reason he has multiple lives.
* KickTheDog: He brags about kidnapping Karone as his greatest accomplishment around Andros.
* ManipulativeBastard: Fits this trope to a T.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: In his debut, Darkonda used a special ray to grow his Barillian Bug monster.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: His ChronicBackstabbingDisorder is ''the only reason Evil does not rule the universe''.
* OutOfContinues: Darkonda started with nine lives at the start but over the course of the season, he died to either the Rangers, Ecliptor, or himself by accident. By the finale, Darkonda only had one life left and decided to use it to go out in a blaze of glory.
* PsychoForHire: His occupation, his joy in the atrocities he commits, and his unpredictability makes him this.
* RetractableWeapon: His main weapon is a Telescoping Sword that can grow at will.
* SlasherSmile: His default (only) expression.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His head is covered in them.
* TheSociopath: [[ItsAllAboutMe Caring only for himself?]] Check! LackOfEmpathy and [[KickTheDog sheer enjoyment of all his crimes]]? Check! A ChronicBackstabbingDisorder and [[ManipulativeBastard deceptive streak]]? Check! He seems to be the first one in the entire franchise and the only one in the Zordon Era.
* TheStarscream: Interestingly, he wasn't after the BigBad of the season per se. Rather, he wanted to go all the way and destroy the GreaterScopeVillain. He succeeded, but [[TakingYouWithMe failed to survive the attack]].
* UnexplainedRecovery: He somehow has nine lives (like a cat), and thus whenever he's seemingly destroyed, he'll appear good as new. That said, he's down to only one life by the finale.
* TheUnfettered: He will use any underhanded or dirty trick to win.
* WelcomeBackTraitor: After Astronema gets forcibly brainwashed back into evil, she kicks Darkonda out. He eventually returns, once again working with her with no explanation.
* WouldHurtAChild: Not only does he kidnap Karone, but he also regrets not having killed Andros while he was at it.
