- "(Lord Zedd): To the death of Zordon!
(Rita Repulsa): And his annoying robot butler!
(Goldar): And his ridiculous Command Center!" - ―The Evil Space Aliens celebrating their victory in 2001.[src]
A group of evil space aliens served as the main antagonistic force of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return.
Group History[]
The group's history in The Return closely follows the TV series. In 1994, Rita Repulsa used a love potion to compel Zedd to obey her and they joined forces.
In the year 2000, Zedd and Rita tied the knot with sinister plans for the future. After a year of planning, they launched an attack in Serpentera on the Command Center and completely destroyed it, killing Zordon and Alpha 5 in the process. Tommy suggested that they take the fight to Rita and Zedd on the Moon in retaliation for the death of their allies, intending on ending the two villains once and for all. 
COMIC STORY- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30th Anniversary Comic Special
During the Rangers assault on the Moon, Kimberly and Tommy infiltrated the Moon Palace with plans to set off the Benevolator, a device that the Rangers made filled with Morphin Grid Energy that would theoretically incapacitate the enemy of all evil by releasing a wave of purification. Rita discovered the Green and Pink Rangers in her bedchamber. She zapped Tommy with her wand, sending him flying into the Benevolator. She then relentlessly casted magic blasts, gloating in triumph. Just as she was about to kill Tommy, powering up her wand with a huge amount of energy, an arrow fired by Kimberly pierced her heart, killing her.
Lord Zedd relished in victory, only for the last thing he would ever hear being Squatt rushing in and giving him the tragic news that his wife was dead as the Benevolator detonated. COMIC STORY- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return Issue 2

The name "Evil Space Aliens"[]
Because this faction is never properly named in the show itself or any associated media, this wiki refers to them as "Evil Space Aliens" to easily identify them. The name "Evil Space Alien" originates from the Mighty Morphin' toyline, where members of Rita Repulsa's gang were referred to as "Evil Space Aliens", with every evil character bearing that name, instead of being referred to by their real names.
This term also appears in later toylines as a generic name for figures of villainous characters. Most notable are characters of the Machine Empire, who, despite the faction being explicitly named in the show, are still referred to as Evil Space Aliens. Members of Divatox' crew are also referred to as Evil Space Aliens in the Turbo toyline, while having no proper name in the show itself. But on this wiki, the faction is referred to as Divatox' Crew.
Figures of other villains also have been named Evil Space Alien, despite some of them being of terrestrial origin and not having anything to do with aliens or space. This is probably because the toys of these characters are already produced before the start of the show, meaning Bandai has no idea of the real names of these characters. Examples of characters bearing this name are:
- Broodwing from S.P.D.
- Hidiacs from Mystic Force
- Chillers from Operation Overdrive
- Jarrod/Dai Shi from Jungle Fury
It is interesting to note that Skull used this term in the series proper, in the episode "Passing the Lantern". When they spot Rito, Squatt and Baboo teleporting away, both he and Bulk start to scream loudly. Bulk asks Skull why they are screaming, after which Skull replies: "Because Evil Space Aliens are using their magical powers right in front of us"
