- "(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]
Goldar was one of the generals who served under the command of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd in the alternate universe series, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return.
History[]
Goldar's history in The Return closely follows the TV series. In 1994, Goldar stood guard as Lord Zedd fell under the spell of Rita Repulsa's love potion that she used to compel Zedd to obey her.
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, Goldar was part of the front line defense against the Zord attack. Meanwhile, 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. Just as Lord Zedd was celebrating his assumed impending victory, Squatt rushed in and gave him the tragic news that his wife was dead as the Benevolator detonated.

Goldar
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Power Level: Goldar was the fourth most powerful member of the Evil Space Aliens, stronger than Squatt, Baboo, and Finster and roughly on par with Rito Revolto. However, Rita, Zedd, and Master Vile were all still much stronger than him.
- Teleportation: Goldar could make himself vanish into thin air to avoid attacks. Starting with Season 2, he always left in a large cloud of orange flame although he vanished in the same way as Season 1 in the episode "Goldar's Vice-Versa."
- Putty Summoning: Goldar could summon both versions of the Putty Patrol to aid him in fighting the Rangers.
- Tenga Summoning: After the Tenga Warriors replaced the Putties as the foot soldiers of Rita and Zedd, Goldar was able to freely summon them as well.
- Eye Fireballs: Goldar could shoot fireball blasts from his eyes which were powerful enough to cause massive explosions around Jason whilst fleeing from him and King Sphinx. When combined with Scorpina's claw barrage, it took down the Thunder Megazord and forced the White Tigerzord back into its default Tiger Mode.
- Self-Growth: In the episode "A Star Is Born," Goldar and Scorpina clearly enlarged themselves to aid Babe Ruthless given Rita being under the weather.
Abilities[]
- Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Goldar was not as good at hand-to-hand combat as he is at swordsmanship but was still easily able to take down all five Rangers (although Tommy was almost always able to overpower him).
- Master Swordsman: Goldar was better than any other villain at combat with a weapon, perhaps even more than Rita but excluding Zedd. Goldar constantly failed to beat Tommy in his Green Ranger form whilst Zedd could overpower him in his more powerful White Ranger form without breaking a sweat.
- Expert Zord Pilot: Goldar was able to expertly pilot both Cyclopsis and Serpentera with no assistance and overwhelm the Zords easily in both as well as piloting the Dragonzord to victory in the first part of the two-part episode "Return of an Old Friend."
- Chemistry Set-Up: Goldar was able to set-up a lot of chemistry equipment and similar equipment for Zedd’s bicentennial Sleep of Oblivion as seen in the first part of “The Wedding”, where he was given comments by Zedd.
- Wedding Planning: Goldar was able to expertly plan out Rita and Zedd’s wedding (much to his own outrage).
- Longevity: Goldar can live for millions of years.
- Strength: Goldar seriously shook up the Dino Megazord's cockpit with a single slash and an extremely powerful double kick was enough to knock back the Dino Megazord. Later on, in episodes such as "Eclipsing Megazord" and "Crystal of Nightmares", he was strong enough to take down the Megazord with Scorpina's help.
- Durability: Goldar was struck by the energized Power Sword and Thunder Saber and a fireball from the White Tigerzord in Warrior Mode only made him and Scorpina fall down.
- Agility: Whilst fighting the Dino Megazord for the first time, Goldar was able to quickly dodge around the Megazord and land some blows without being hit.
Weaknesses[]
to be added
Arsenal[]
- Sword: Goldar wielded a large golden sword to aid him in combat. It was sharp enough to take down Rangers with one hit each and cleave straight through the middle of a building.
- Flame Wave: Goldar could engulf his sword in flames and fling a large horizontal wave of fire at his enemies strong enough to seriously shake up the Dino Megazord in Tank Mode and knock around the Mastodon, Triceratops, and Sabertooth Tiger Dinozords with one hit.
- Teleportation Casting: The flame waves from Goldar's sword could also teleport his enemies to any location at will as seen in "Missing Green."
- Fireballs: Goldar could fire blue energy from his sword that turned into orange fireballs capable of causing massive explosions and knocking down all five Rangers with one hit.
- Homing Fireballs: As seen during the battle with King Sphinx, Goldar could fire fireballs that homed in on his enemies and forced them to dodge towards his allies.
- Teleportation Stab: When charged up with dark gold energy, and stabbed into the ground, Goldar's sword could unleash a wave of the same golden energy to teleport beings away. He did this to Tommy and some Putties in "The Green Candle."
- Energy Chain Generation: Goldar could fire golden energy from his sword's tip that formed energy chains strong enough to restrain Tommy. He only did this in "The Green Candle."
- Flamethrower: Goldar was able to release a stream of flame from the tip of his sword to disintegrate a clumsy Putty in "Mighty Morphin Mutants".
- Lightning Channeling: Goldar could channel blue lightning into his sword and fire them from the tip. Instead of being used as an attack, it was instead used to power up the Crystal of Nightmares.
- Fire Channeling: Goldar was able to channel fire into his sword at will for a variety of attacks and special moves.
- Fire Ropes: By channeling fire into his sword, Goldar could release long yellow streamer-like ropes from the tip of his sword. He only did this in the episode "The Ninja Encounter Part I" to kidnap the future Power Rangers.
- Lightning Strike: When combined with Scorpina's fin blade, Goldar could fire forth blue lightning from his sword with enough power to take down all five Rangers.
- Teleportation Beams: Goldar could fire golden-white energy beams from his sword to teleport beings to any location he chose as seen with Kimberly and Shawna.
- Flame Wave: Goldar could engulf his sword in flames and fling a large horizontal wave of fire at his enemies strong enough to seriously shake up the Dino Megazord in Tank Mode and knock around the Mastodon, Triceratops, and Sabertooth Tiger Dinozords with one hit.
- Cyclopsus: Goldar's personal War Zord that he had for at least 10,000 years.
- Dragon Dagger: Temporarily stolen from the Command Center by Billy (who was under the Dramole's spell) who gave it to Goldar who used it to use the Dragonzord against the Rangers. It was later retrieved by Tommy along with the Power Coins.
- Serpentera: Goldar was the pilot for Serpentera whereas Zedd just sat back and watched.
