Icon-boomThis article is about a/an evil Ranger in the Power Rangers comic sub-franchise by Boom! Studios.

"After all, you are nothing more..than my lesser self."
―Lord Drakkon reveals he is Tommy Oliver to the Boom! main timeline Tommy[src]

Lord Drakkon[1] is an evil Power Ranger who controls the Black Dragon and battles the Power Rangers.

In Issue #11, Lord Drakkon is revealed to be an evil and older alternate version of Tommy Oliver, who rules his Earth with an iron fist from a dystopic and futuristic Angel Grove.

Character History

Different Path

Lord Drakkon's history as Tommy matches his prime counterpart's until his climatic final battle against the Red Ranger, Jason Lee Scott. When Tommy was freed from Rita's curse, instead of joining Zordon and his Rangers, Tommy fled back to Rita Repulsa and continued to serve her. Whether addicted to his new power and fearful of losing it if he had stayed with the Rangers or genuinely believing Rita meant to better the world through conquest, Tommy aided Rita in taking over the Earth, one city at a time. Over time, their conquest caused Rita to become popular to Earth's population.

Eventually, Tommy led Rita's forces into one final battle against Zordon's last battalion of Rangers and Zords just as Zordon was on the verge of creating a new Power Ranger more powerful than any before. Tommy breached the Command Center as Jason was being infused with this new power, interrupting the process before it could finish. The two engaged in one final battle that Tommy ultimately won. Tommy then stole the new power for himself, and emerged from the Command Center clutching Jason's shattered helmet.

Tommy and his forces then defeated the Power Rangers, destroyed their Zords, and successfully conquered the Earth in Rita's name.

Personality

This version of Tommy is ruthless and cunning, using his knowledge of the Power Rangers to systematically weaken them and destroy the Command Center. He expresses hints of anger, hate and disgust at his heroic younger self from the main timeline, stating that when the younger Tommy served Rita "he had it all". This implies this timeline's Tommy relishes in his villainy and power to an extent and finds his younger self "weak". He is also a cruel leader to his subordinates, as he regularly punishes a simple mistake or failure from his Ranger Sentries by stripping them of their powers with a very painful electrocution via a switch on his throne. He then orders the failed Sentry to be sent away and bestows their Ranger power to a more competent soldier.

Drakkon Tommy kills Jason

He is also a murderer, as the remains of the Command Center in his world showed heavy damage as did all of the Ranger's Zords and his words to Billy and Tommy about them not "staying long" in his world implies he intended to kill them. A flashback revealed he had killed his world's Jason off-panel after taking away Jason's White Ranger powers and fusing them with his Green Ranger power, carrying the fallen Red Ranger's cracked helmet in his hand after morphing into his new fused form. It is also implied he murdered the Billy Cranston of his world when the Blue Ranger shielded Trini from an attack meant for her.

This version of Tommy is a ruthless sociopath, ruling over his subject with an iron fist, possessing a twisted vision of the world. He detests any connection that he has of his alternate-reality self, considering him to be polluted and weak shadow of the powerful image of himself that he has cultivated. His hatred of this connection he has, no matter how distant, shows that his rage and contempt spans the multiverse, which paints him as being truly a dark mirror of the man that is alternate and younger self is striving to become. In many ways, Drakkon represents the absolute worst fears that Tommy from the main universe has about himself.
