Two overzealous space explorers cracked open a container we would later know as "the dumpster." Like some twisted version of Aladdin's lamp, a flock of apparitions appeared and become solid, right there on the moon's surface. The wicked witch of the stars, Rita Repulsa, had been released from her imprisonment and sicced upon the Earth, or more specifically, Angel Grove, U.S.A.
Rita and her troupe of sideshow freak space criminals, in their dark and cluttered fortress on the moon, were a nice counter to the stark, colorful shining sentinels of justice known as the Power Rangers. Rita herself was a shrill banshee who would bark orders send tremors across the lunar surface with her whining upon defeat. It was the opposite of how the Rangers mentor, Zordon, comported himself. He was a booming, authoritative presence. Rita came across as a spoiled brat.
