While the titular multi - colored , jumbo - automaton - navigate , helmet - wearing soldierlike artist are the independent focus of every serial in thePower Rangersfranchise , it ’s not a stretch to say that their most direful opponent are also a pretty large attracter , especially when considering the honest-to-goodness adage of “ a hero sandwich ’s only as good as his villain . ”

Its mellow time to take a elaborated looking at at the main adversaries who have not only repeatedly ( and inexplicably ) attacked a single city , but who have also threatened the solar system , extragalactic nebula , or universe as a whole .   This mostly include the principal villains of any break time of year , regard that they ’re typically the ultimate threat , but   there are a few exception for various generals who have gone above and beyond the typical henchman world power cap .

To actually create the ranking , as many details as possible have been into circumstance , including how well each entrant does against the Rangers in direct combat , how well they match up against any armoury and combining of Zords , how high their likely power is base on statements from within their respective time of year ,   and even the scale leaf of their organization ’s ambit and might .

update on May 1st , 2021 by Amanda Bruce : With closely three X of enemies to choose from , the Power Rangers villains range from the silly to the downright menacing . Boom Studios amusing Holy Writ adjustment has reignited sake in the classical earned run average of the franchise , but also expanded the universe to admit substitute timeline , leaving fans old and new wanting more . With every time of year of Power Rangers ( other than the one currently on the air ) available to well out , young generations can be introduced to the originals or find a time of year that suits their interest . Everyone has their favourite team , their favorite Ranger , and their best-loved villain , but these are the most hefty .

Tenaya (RPM)

At the time of its airing , Power ranger : RPMwas the darkestPower Rangersstory yet . Set ina post - apocalyptic wastelandwhere humanity was quest for by a sentient computer virus , it seemed like the world was doomed . On the side of that computer computer virus was Tenaya , a human who think she was a machine created to be forged .

Before Tenaya study the truth about her past , she was the Power Rangers ' worst incubus . She whistled a creepy tune and took a lot of pleasure in making the Rangers run for their lives . Tenaya also ended up with a detachable hand at one point that could spy for her . She even had enough martial art skills to almost make it onto the Ranger squad in disguise .

Goldar (Mighty Morphin)

Before Goldar became a joke in his later appearances , he was a authentic and fierce warrior who could not only take onthe skilled leaderof theMighty Morphin Power Rangers , but the entire squad at once , unremarkably wrecking them with unprecedented brutality and efficiency . As a lord swordsman and fairly skilled practician of shooting out magical fireballs , Goldar was not to be trifled with .

Perhaps most impressively was Goldar ’s power to be polish off multiple times with fully - point attacks from various Megazords , establish a resilience that few of his peers were even remotely capable of . That unbelievable endurance , along with his unmortgaged video display of expert battle prowess and general savagery , easily earn this General a place on our listing .

Rito Revolto (Mighty Morphin)

Unlike Goldar , who started out as   dreaded but would eventually become an idiot , Rito Revolto was always an changeling . Similar to Goldar , though , Rito was devastatingly powerful and , despite his clear mental deficiency , was able to take on both Power Rangers and Zords like it was no big deal .

Most disconcertingly , Rito ’s general idiocy seems to disappear in the heat of battle in a way that ’s kin to Goku inDragon Ball Z , where a far more strategic and sly side pack over . To top it all off , Rito was also responsible for the destruction of the Thunderzords and Command Center , which are accomplishments that should never be overlooked . Like Goldar , Rito might be a simple superior general , but he ’s done more than enough to be recognized for his raw power .

Divatox (Turbo)

Divatox , and the whole of the Turbo power , in general , are in something of a nebulous place . According to the show , Divatox is vastly powerful and the Turbo powers were supposed to make the Zeo powerfulness obsolete . Unfortunately , fans have a laborious time believing either of those statements , hence Divatox ’s relatively low ranking .

Sure , she had a goodly army and a sweet-flavored grinder , plus the clearly show ability to rival inarguably enhanced Power Rangers whenshe arrive in Angel Grove , so it seems fair enough that she was technically more powerful than Goldar and Rito , but that ’s likely the extent of it . It ’s leisurely to reckon her reputation did most of the heavy lifting since she and her force-out certainly did n’t seem to .

Ransik (Time Force)

Ransik is one of the dealership ’s most intriguing and well - develop villain , but that woefully does n’t make him the most sinewy . This is one of the strange case in which we need to immediately liken a villain to the team of Rangers they face up off against . Time Force had highly advanced engineering that was sure as shooting more muscular than the modern mean solar day , but it was designed and specialized for the enactment of capturing clip - travel malefactor like Ransik who , while powerful , was n’t a world - end menace .

To be mediocre , Ransik was   able-bodied to take on the Power Rangers and vote down them single - handedly , but that ’s just not enough to when it come to turn over the upper - echelons of this list , telling as it may be .

Finster (Mighty Morphin)

During the Zordon Era of the dealership , the squad of bad guy cable were often prominent , with some phallus having their own speciality . On Rita Repulsa ’s squad was Finster . He looked a petty scrap like a giant - sized frankfurter , and he was always cultivated , which might have made some consultation members think he was n’t as malefic as the rest . That ’s not the case .

Thanks to Boom Studios ' comic books , Finster was yield some pretty interesting backstory . His magical clay is whatallowed him to create monster for Rita , but he was n’t exactly forced into the problem . Before he and Rita even met , he was already create monstrous creatures out of clay and letting them loose on his home planet . Without Finster , Rita would n’t have had nearly as many terror to send out to Earth .

Rita Repulsa (Mighty Morphin)

As the first major extraterrestrial threat against the Earth , Rita Repulsa is a head ache - prostrate , but potent , blank witch . Despite seeming like more of a butcher than an existent menace , Rita possessed an olympian mastery of the magical graphics and a healthy dose of craftiness , which made her far more grave than one might call back .

Sure , most of her monsters were inadequate in the long run , but her aforementioned guile and skill readiness allowed her to produce an vicious Ranger that nearly wiped out   the good guy , and she was also equal to of   summoning what was fundamentally Satan to do her bidding . In the ending , she was nothing more than a cog in a large , intergalactic conglomerate , but her potential was still nothing to sneeze at .

Mesogog (Dino Thunder)

The horrific mutant Mesogog was not only super brawny in terms of both physical prowess and telepathic abilities , but also exceptionally gift with a ranking intellect , which made him exponentially more life-threatening than a distinctive brute - effect - focused baddie . Impressively , Mesogog was capable to threaten the existence of the planet on his lonesome . While it ’s true that he created general to aid him in his conquering , the entirety of his forces and technology were generally bear from his own understanding .

scarily , while Mesogog start as an substitute personality for Anton Mercer , he would eventually achieve virtuous consciousness and separate himself completely . As a grave foe on all front man hoping   to revert Earth back to the epoch of the dinosaur , Mesogog is basically an unstoppable , driven , and destructive force of   nature .

Lord Zedd (Mighty Morphin)

As the iconic ruler of the empire that Rita work for , Lord Zedd was a   fearsome violence to be reckoned with , even after parents complained enough to have the writers buffer him up . Apparently a pitiless “ Emperor of Evil , ” Zedd conquered countless systems before go far to correct Rita’smistakes inMighty Morphin Power Rangers .

Almost forthwith the difference in power between and Rita is made apparent , as his putty   and   monsters were so powerful that the Rangers were legitimately helpless . For even more point in his recess , Zedd also went toe - to - toe with the extremist - powerful White Ranger , and although he was defeat , it was due more to a miscalculation than an actual lack of might . Despite his failings , Zedd will always be remembered as one of the most life-threatening menace the Earth , and galaxy , ever faced .

Astronema (In Space)

Astronema may be the nance of Evil , and heir ostensible to Dark Specter , but that does n’t necessarily make her the most purely potent forcefulness on this list . She was trained by Ecliptor to be an exceeding warrior and has demonstrated her prowess multiple time in various situations . She ’s also outfit with a stave that can hit extremely powerful bolts of energy , leave her targets devastated .

Most significantly , though , is that ( even if only for a brief time ) she rein the entire United Alliance of Evil and nearly took over the coltsfoot . So , while she ’s arguably no match against someone like Lord Zedd in terms of brute force , her existent organisation makes Zedd ’s feeble empire seem pathetic at best . She also retain a lot of her skill after she ’s deprogrammed and becomes the human Karone . Karone is still skilled enough to pose Astronema and slip a Morpher from a room full of villain inPower Rangers : Lost Galaxy .
