This is the fifth Tommy Article. Tommy Oliver the Classic Green Ranger whose career advanced much over the course of the series until he dawned black spandex in his last season, battled many evil forces. On this show the Master Villains always have Generals who work under them. Occasionally Generals even try to take the reins of power for themselves. There are Power Struggles on PR More often than you might think. Perhaps this topic could be explored in a later article. General # 1- Goldar voiced by Kerrigan Mahan. We met at Power Morphicon. We shook hands before the convention closed. I hope we can talk again someday. Goldar fought both Tommy and Jason. Tommy and Goldar fought together in "Green with Evil" Part 4. Goldar had a Sliver Sword he could summon at will. Goldar was most formidable in the first season. He ocassionally taunted Tommy about how he was once on their side. Goldar still fought Tommy in the second season but did not fare as well. General # 2 Wizard of Deception voiced by Tony Oliver. This story was titled "Return of the Green Ranger". He creates an evil version of Tommy, and traps his friends in the past. Tommy steals his wand and turns his creation against him. The clone foils the Wizard's plans in a Ironic twist and saves the citizens of colonial Angel Grove. Tommy's clone decides to live a peaceful life in colonial times.
General # 3 Rito Revolto. I love this guy, he always makes me laugh. Rito never targeted Tommy directly but they got into conflict often, so he counts. Rito was tricky but lost almost frequently. However Goldar and Rito once cornered Tommy and had him trapped in the episode "A Ranger Catastrophe." Billy Transported Tommy away in the Nick of time. I would love to feature Goldar and Rito again in the future. Rito Revolto was voiced by Bob Papenbrook. General # 4- Louie Kaboom. Louie was created by Rita and Zedd to fill the void left by King Mondo's defeat. He had one of the most ridiculous designs ever but he was also a tricky villain. His main obsession though was trying to gain control of Auric the Conqueror. Auric was the second Sentient Zord and a valuable ally. Louie Kaboom was voiced by Lex Lang, and Auric was voiced by Derek Stephen Prince. He was featured on here before in the article on Elgar. General # 5 - Prince Gasket and Princess Archerina. They are the most dangerous characters on this list. They came up with a tricky plan. They captured Tommy, erased his memories and convinced him his friends were the bad guys. It almost worked, however Katherine helped Tommy realize the truth and rejoin his friends. However full credit for stopping Prince Gasket's plans goes to Bulk and Skull. They broke in and destroyed the base. Prince Gasket was voiced by Douglas Sloan, and Princess Archerina was voiced by Melora Harte. General # 6 - Zurgane. Zurgane was mainly featured in Ninja Storm, but he was brought back for the team-up. Hunter and Blake join Tommy and help to defeat Zurgane in battle. I added this on because I really enjoyed this battle sequence. Zurgane was voiced by Peter Rowley. General # 7 - Zeltrax. Zeltrax was the only General obsessed with Tommy. Zeltrax initially confused Tommy with mind games. He finally revealed his story in the episode "Bully for Ethan". He used to be Tommy's research colleague Terence Smith or "Smitty." He blamed Tommy for his own mistakes. This conflict reminded me of the Wolverine and Sabertooth rivalry from X-Men comics. Tommy hoped he could turn his friend away from evil, but when he messed with his team and betrayed his own allies, Tommy knew he couldn't save him. Kira helped Tommy defeat Zeltrax once and for all in the Dino Thunder finale. Zeltrax was voiced by James Gaylyn. Goldar and Zeltrax are the most famous villains on this list but Prince Gasket is the most dangerous. I hope you all enjoyed this recap on Tommy's deadliest enemies!
Generally, this is wild. Specifically, it's a lot of general stuff about general generals. Privately, Tomy may deserve corporal punishment, for the general reason he is so generally generaled! It is general nonsense to be so busy battling generals. I hope he can negotiate a peace treaty.
