Rita Repulsa was a female humanoid sorceress bent on intergalactic domination. Having conquered many worlds with her husband, Lord Zedd, Rita was defeated by Zordon of Eltar during her failed invasion of Earth, along with his 6 warriors, the original Power Rangers. Imprisoned in a space dumpster by the sage, Rita was cast into space where she would float for ten thousand years before arcing back to the moon. Once freed, she and her minions reclaimed their headquarters and started a second campaign on Earth to defeat Zordon and take the planet for her and Lord Zedd.
