Personality[]
Massively egotistical, snobbish, narcissistic, manipulative, arrogant, obstreperous, cruel, and snarky, Divatox literally shows off her name with pride. Desiring to get power by any means, she is a woman who will do whatever it takes to get it. However, she is a poor planner and pathetically incompetent, and is quite inferior to other villains like Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, or Dark Specter in terms of evil. Her plans include bombs that go off in a long time, just long enough for the Rangers to disable them and defeat her. Her minions are not any better than her either. Divatox loves to tease and mock her enemies when she's in control; for example, she gives the power ruby a big kiss knowing the phantom will die without it and she blows T.J. a kiss after shooting him down with her laser. She is also a coward, known to run away from her problems if it gets too out of control, and often leave her minions to take the fall.
Despite her flaws, Divatox's blunder did not haunt her entirely, however. This was proven during the events of Power Rangers Turbo "Chase into Space". Due to her persistence and being highly opportunistic, she had somehow enlisted the aide of the mighty Goldgoyle that had managed to destroy both the Rescue Megazord and the Turbo Megazord, and upon learning the location of the Power Chamber, she immediately sent her army to attack the Rangers while they were still reeling from the destruction of their zords, thus carried out a successful attack that destroyed the Power Chamber and defeating the Rangers as well as extinguishing their powers.
Divatox, like so many others (such as Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, and the Machine Empire), was highly fearful of Dark Specter, and in vain tried to gain his favor and affections. She also tends to express her jealousy and resentment of Astronema, whom was to be named the next "Queen of Evil", a title Divatox refuse to relinquish despite Dark Specter's destruction and Astronema's takeover of the United Alliance of Evil.
