Zordon's Energy Wave

"Andros, listen to me. It is your duty as a Power Ranger to save the universe. Now is the time."

- Zordon

Zordon's Energy Wave (or Z-Wave) is the very essence of the wizard, Zordon, created upon the destruction of his energy tube at the hands of Andros' Spiral Saber. The death of the character released a wave of good energy that purged the galaxy of the United Alliance of Evil, who, up until that point, that had finally conquered the galaxy with the help of Dark Specter and Astronema.


 * The following villains that were affected are:

Note that not all of the Machine Empire and cogs perished in this event, and that Dark Specter and Darkonda had both already destroyed each other in a conflict shortly before the wave was released. It is never seen or explained what happened to the following characters:
 * Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, and Divatox are purified and are shed of evil.
 * Ecliptor, Elgar, the Machine Empire and all the footsoldiers and monsters are all disintegrated and reduced to piles of sand.


 * Mama D
 * Squatt
 * Baboo
 * Finster
 * Goldar
 * Scorpina
 * Rito Revolto
 * Lokar
 * Prince Gasket
 * Princess Archerina
 * Rygog
 * General Havoc
 * Porto
 * Master Vile
 * Somnibot

It can be assumed that they were either destroyed or purified by the wave as well.

Post Zordon Wave
In the aftermath of Zordon's death, several groups of villains appear in future seasons of Power Rangers. However, the series has been able to avoid contradicting the effect of the energy wave on past villains by either never using them again or giving those who survived entirely different roles (as seen with Rita Repulsa who would go on to become the Mystic Mother in Power Rangers Mystic Force).

One can assume with the beginning of Lost Galaxy and every season following after it, the wave was retconned to destroy only the United Alliance of Evil, the major threat at that time. However, it can be argued that some villains not of "our" galaxy were too far to be affected, contained at the time within a mystical prison, from another dimension altogether or not evil at the time of the wave.
