"Ashley: Who would [poison Darkonda]? TJ: Probably only half the universe."
 * An Axe to Grind
 * Bald Black Leader Guy: Andros may call the shots in a fight, but in pretty much every other situation they defer to T.J. Mostly because he's the Badass Bookworm and one of the most level-headed Rangers in the entire franchise.

 * Which, of course, makes it AWESOME.
 * Brother Chuck: Was last seen sitting down at the Megaship's main computer console at the very end of "Countdown to Destruction" and never returned for the Space/Lost Galaxy team-up.
 * The Charmer: Zhane's a bit of a smug bastard (at the end of "Countdown to Destruction", he props his feet up on the Megaship's console), but we just don't care because he's just so nonchalant about it.

""I'll be alright, Cassie. Please - don't forget me.""
 * Mysterious Protector
 * Invisibility
 * Ship Tease: With Cassie, continuing from Turbo: at the end of his last message to the Rangers...


 * The Un-Reveal: Perhaps the biggest unanswered question in the entire PR metaseries. Who is he?
 * It's likely the suit is his real body.

Zordon | (Actor: Bob Manahan)

 * Eccentric Mentor
 * I Cannot Self-Terminate: Not due to programming, magical rules, or honor codes, but because of a lack of limbs.
 * Sealed Good in a Can: He escaped the time warp he was sealed in 10,000 years ago - but now he's sealed in the communications tube he was using to contact people from the time warp.
 * Sealed Good in a Can: He escaped the time warp he was sealed in 10,000 years ago - but now he's sealed in the communications tube he was using to contact people from the time warp.

Adelle Ferguson | (Actress: Aloma Wright)

 * Sassy Black Woman

Bulk & Skull | (Actors: Paul Schrier and Jason Narvy)

 * Shoo Out the Clowns: Got a massive reduction in screen time, but made up for it with a Crowning Moment of Awesome in "Countdown to Destruction".
 * Those Two Guys

Professor Phenomenus | (Actor: Jack Banning)

 * All There in the Script: The scripts say that his first name is "Elliott".
 * 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.
 * The Cuckoolander Was Right: He's consistently too late by about an episode or so in terms of locating alien activity, but it was there.

Their Enemies

Dark Specter | (Voice actor: T.J. Rotolo)
"Divatox: You remind me so much of my fiancée!"
 * Big Bad
 * Dimension Lord: Of our dimension.
 * Evil Overlord
 * Galactic Conqueror: as near as we can tell, between his own conquests and his semi-independent minions, he's conquered pretty much the entire universe aside from Earth, Triforia, Aquitar, and maybe Endenoi.
 * Prop Recycling - Probably because the Maligore costume was too expensive to only be used once.
 * Lampshaded by Divatox in the first episode, no less. (Doubles as a Call Back to Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.)


 * The Man Behind The Villains for Astronema, Rita, Zedd, Mondo, and Divatox.
 * No Kill Like Overkill:
 * Taking You with Me:
 * The Unfought: Is never fought by the heroes, despite being the Big Bad.

Astronema / | (Actress: Melody Perkins)

 * Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Black, red and silver.
 * Creepy Monotone: Once brainwashed and fitted with cybernetics.
 * Dark Magical Girl: Looks like a Dark Action Girl at first, but...
 * Dating Catwoman: With Zhane in "A Date with Danger".

 * Hell-Bent for Leather
 * Large Ham: Jeminy Christmas...
 * Memento MacGuffin: Her locket.

Ecliptor | (Voice actor: Lex Lang)

 * Anti-Villain
 * Badass
 * Badass Cape: At first.
 * Cool Sword
 * Evil Laugh: Constantly!
 * Evil Virtues
 * Eye Beams: In varieties, too!
 * Fusion Dance: 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.
 * Light Is Not Good: Most of his powers seem to be based around holo-projection and concentrated light blasts.
 * Noble Demon
 * No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Whenever Andros is part of the equation.
 * Papa Wolf: raised Astronema from age five and he seems to be the only one she always seems to care about.
 * Power Echoes
 * Tron Lines

Darkonda | (Voice actor: Steve Kramer)
"Andros: YOU KIDNAPPED MY SISTER! Darkonda: One of my finest accomplishments."
 * Ascended Extra: His Sentai counterpart Guirail dies with the arrival of the Mega Voyager. Darkonda, however, lasts for the remainder of the series, thanks to him having nine lives like a cat.
 * Card-Carrying Villain: While almost all PR villains fall into this trope, he takes it a step further by taking great pride in being a villain.


 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: And loving it
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?:
 * Fusion Dance: With Ecliptor as Darkliptor in "T.J.'s Identity Crisis" and "Astronema Thinks Twice".
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: His Chronic Backstabbing Disorder is the only reason Evil does not rule the universe.
 * The Starscream

Psycho Rangers

 * Ax Crazy: All five of them, but Psycho Blue not only fights with an actual axe, he nearly kills T.J. in cold blood doing it.
 * Back From the Dead: They ran their souls through Astronema's people-into-data machine, reconstituting their bodies.
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Psycho Yellow. Not only does she team up with Psycho Pink to drain the Rangers of their power first (and get all the credit from Astronema), she then callously abandons Pink when things go all pear-shaped, resulting in Pink's death.
 * Crippling Overspecialization: The Rangers realize that the Psychos only absorbed fighting styles from their counterparts, so an Opponent Switch gives them a huge advantage... at first.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: When they brag about how much better they are than the Rangers, it's true, especially in the early appearances.
 * Psycho Red has it the worst, though.
 * Five-Bad Band:
 * The Big Bad: Red
 * The Dragon: Black
 * The Brute: Blue
 * The Evil Genius: Yellow
 * The Dark Chick: Pink
 * Ghostly Chill: When the ghost of Psycho Pink passes through her, Cassie suddenly feels very cold.
 * Gone Horribly Right: Astronema wanted to create monsters that would hunt down and destroy the Power Rangers. Unfortunately for her Evil Plan, nothing can stop them from trying to do it.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: Psycho Pink, mostly because Psycho Yellow keeps trying to screw her over.
 * Hypocritical Humor: Zhane has been abducted, but the others can't save him without morphing and alerting the Psychos to their location. So they plant a recording device in their vehicle and send it off on auto-pilot. When the Rangers break through the shield surrounding Zhane's location, the Psychos Flash Step in front of them, and Red says something to the effect of "Did you think that would fool us?" Of course, they really did fall for it.
 * Mind Rape: The Psychos learn everything about the Rangers' fighting styles in this way.
 * Not So Harmless: Not that any of them were actually harmless, per se, but Psycho Pink was killed off pretty early in their debut story arc (mostly because Psycho Yellow stabbed her in the back). When the Psychos returned for the Galaxy Rangers teamup,  Until the end of the season, at least.
 * One-Winged Angel: They don't have mecha, so they turn into giant monsters instead.
 * The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: So much that they lurked around as ghosts so that they could fight the Rangers again.


 * Only Sane Man: Psycho Black, though "sane" is a relative term. He was the only one that expressed concern over the consequences of not doing as Astronema commanded.
 * Shock and Awe: Green lightning. One might even call them Psycho Electros.
 * Super Speed: Bordering on Flash Step in close quarters.
 * Trope Namer
 * Weapon of Choice: The same as the Rangers, of course:
 * An Axe to Grind: Blue
 * The Archer: Pink
 * Cool Sword: Red
 * Improbable Weapon User: Yellow
 * Simple Staff: Black
 * Villainous Breakdown: Most of them have one except Black, but Psycho Red has the biggest one, due to his The Only One Allowed to Defeat You mentality.
