Lipsyncher was a female lipstick monster who served as the main antagonist of the episode "Two for One.”
History
When Tommy and Kimberly decide to go on their first date, Lord Zedd to affect their personal lives. Since Tommy has recently rejoined the team as the White Ranger, Zedd decides to create two monsters in a combined assault. During the date, he sends down the Putty Patrol to attack Tommy and Kimberly, and the Putties steal the purse belonging to Kimberly’s mother. After Pursehead freezes Tommy and Kimberly in place, Zedd creates the Lipsyncher from the “Siren Song Red” lipstick that was within the purse. Lipsyncher’s mission is to aid Pursehead in battle against the remaining Power Rangers by destroying the four that are not frozen.
To draw them out, the Lipsyncher goes to Angel Grove Park where she obliterates a statue duplicate of The Thinker, setting off the alarm at the Command Center. With Zack going to help his two frozen comrades and both Billy and Trini working to undo Pursehead’s freeze ray, Jason is forced to fight her alone. He appears but the monster throws him to the ground with her vocals, but he summons his Power Sword and scars her face with a jump-slash, enraging her. Zedd enlarges her with a Growth Bomb, leading Jason to deploy the Red Dragon Thunderzord. Lipsyncher disables the Zord and continued to attack it. While the Red Dragon Zord breaks free, Lipsyncher is able to best it in combat and continues to attack the Zord.
Even after Pursehead’s demise, Zedd is confident that Lipsyncher is powerful enough that she can destroy the Power Rangers. However, before the Lipsyncher can finish Jason off, the other Rangers arrive in the other Thunderzords and confront the Lipsyncher. After the individual Thunderzords attack Lipsyncher and relieve Jason, the Rangers form the Thunderzord Assault Team. Lipsyncher panics when the Red Dragon Thunderzord slays her. After she is destroyed, Lipsyncher reverts back to her lipstick form within the purse that was once Pursehead.
Personality
Lipsyncher was a prideful monster, who became completely focused on destroying Jason for scarring her.
