I forgot what episode it was but Goldar was on earth and bragged about being the greatest warrior in the universe. Lord Zedd, observing the goings on from his palace, exclaimed to the empty room around him, "I can't believe he just said that!" and I just died laughing.

the first Power Rangers Creation

[@Xion_Toshiro]

When I 1st saw Lord Zedd's design; it was shocking at 1st - just how much work & effort went into it, & the fact they got away with such a ghoulish design in what was touted as a kid's show But it was also perfectly fitting - the look of a Villain, & such iconic one at that How ironic; that one of the Power Rangers much vile & unwholesome villains, had such a wholesome ending - which was also just as shocking

[@BrendanAurabolt]

Indeed. By the time we're introduced to Zedd, Rita is little more than a weekly annoyance for the Rangers. When you see Rita is legit terrified of Zedd, you know business is about to pick up. Zedd also had a better approach than Rita. Instead of trying to fight them head on, divide and conquer. He did ultimately do what Rita could not and dispatched the Green Ranger though by that point, the Rangers had the Thunder Zords. I did think Zedd would have been the one to if not beat the Rangers outright but keep them on their heels. More so after he made short work of the Dino Zords. He was purified at the end of In Space and that marked the end of his story. It was interesting to later find out his staff still existed somewhere. Even more interesting was his getting cloned. I feel like at this point they should just outright bring back the "Old" Zedd personally.

[@she-venom9842]

OG Lord Zedd is most strongest and scariest of them all! He is best villain sometimes i love how he is nice toward at his allies

[@Forevertayquise]

Zedd was already for a villain for the Mighty Morphin, Aquitar, Zeo, and Space Rangers. And now he gets to terrorize a whole new era of Rangers

[@BrendanAurabolt]

Not the same as it's a clone though. We need OG Zedd back.

[@ChrisAtheist]

@@BrendanAurabolt wasn't it said he is the original zed? Just without the Love potion?

[@taylormademyself89]

Having power rangers comics giving us deep dive into power history we have questions about since we were kids finally answered makes them worth to read 👏

[@BrendanAurabolt]

This x1000. The comics do what the TV shows can't: A Deep dive into the prehistory and lore. I only saw bits and pieces of RPM but it was quite a surprise to later find out Rita and Zedd had a child at some point after the beginning of Zeo and more so after their purification at the end of In Space. I feel like Thrax didn't need that given the passage of time to that point alone. That and like I mentioned, Rita and Zedd were purified at the end of In Space. To that point, there was no mention of them having kids together. We know they led the conquest of a distant world toward the end of In Space but were purified before they could achieve a complete victory. By the time RPM happens, so much time has passed you probably forgot Zedd and Rita. Then you find out Thrax is a secret son of theirs who was in stasis for a long time. Yeah, no. Would've made sense if Rita and Zedd were brought back and turned evil again though.

[@Mystyx-Sama]

Quite possibly the only serious evil character in the entire series, while also being damn funny from time to time. Just seeing him with a nightcap on trying to get some sleep is hilarious. My favorite evil dude of all time.

[@sasamitrovic4660]

Yes indieed, RIP Robert Axelrod the original voice actor for Lord Zedd. LORD Zedd and Rita were my favorite villaines in all of the Power Rangers franchise 'cause they were so unique and iconic in my oppinion. And I'm really happy that now in in Dino &. Cosmic Fury Lord Zedd is back again. I'm really excited about his debut in the 30.th Annivercery TV show of PR Cosmic Fury and I can't wait to see what he is going to do to claim his full revenge on the PR. Hope so for a new face off between Zordon and Lord Zedd.

[@NeoConker626]

I'm very behind on Fury, but I know they had a villain who could clone/ressurect monsters that brought Zedd back. Is it that same version? If so, I'm thinking it would be cool if they had human (good) Zedd show up. Like we had good Rita as Mystic Mother in Mystic Force.

[@VergilArcanis]

I remember when Zedd arrived, it was kinda scary, but the Rita used the potion on him and i felt he was more likeable

[@BrendanAurabolt]

Yeah, I read somewhere the network was getting complaints from (wait for it) soccer moms and Evangelicals about Zedd's appearance for quite a while. Bringing back Rita and changing Zedd's personality was their compromise. I heard a rumor they were originally planning to have Zedd kill Tommy with magic in front of the other Rangers but only had him lose his Green Ranger powers because they were worried about the blowback.

[@joeethereal2968]

Shout out to the progenitor: Super Sentai Series that predates(1971, currently in it's 16th iteration) & gives the inspiration for & provides the necessary footage/source material for The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

Well said pointing this out! At this point Super Sentai is now sourcing from the Power Rangers franchise since there's just more iterations (I think PR has like 25 at this point).

Kids Power Rangers fans grew with Zedd as their main Power Rangers villain now new Power Rangers fans will grow up with Zedd as the main Power Rangers villain in Cosmic Fury

[@erindowning9375]

I believe the real overarching & scary villain of the power rangers franchise was Dark Specter instead of Lord Zedd. Because Dark Specter ruled over the entire United Alliance of Evil that Zedd & Rita, Master Vile, Divatox the Machine Empire Astronema & possibly Scorpius & Trakeena was all a part of. & Dark Specter was the corrupting influence behind all the members of the UNE too.

[@undeadgentalmen]

LOL Mates, I understand on how awesome Lord Zedd is. Being a Guardian turned villain nearly destroying the rangers twice, but then again. He did end up in RV. Saban, your crazy localization script has made one zany character with the oddest arcs.
