7) Lord Zedd
As the first major antagonist the Rangers faced in Mighty Morphin‘s first season, the movie made the right choice in – very loosely – adapting Rita Repulsa for this origins story. The sequel has an equally obvious choice of villain that we really hope director Dean Israelite and his team take up. Namely, Lord Zedd, the self-styled Emperor of Evil.
Introduced in Mighty Morphin season 2, Zedd starts as a much more fearsome foe than Rita and is revealed to be her master. Over time, however, Zedd became just as bumbling as Repulsa and eventually married her, after which the pair were more often presented as comic relief than a real threat to the Rangers.
For the movies, though, there’s a lot of potential to return Zedd to his original factory settings as a hugely formidable enemy for the Rangers to face. He’s also one of the finest designed Power Rangers enemies ever, so they hardly need to reboot the character’s look. Interestingly, the reason for his skinless appearance is because he was disfigured when trying to claim the Zeo Crystal – a piece of backstory that could easily be retained for the movies.
