History
Master Org is a name that applies to two beings in the storyline of Wild Force. One of them is the original Master Org also known as the Ancient Master Org, his first and old form, who led the battle against Animaria 3,000 years ago and destroyed Animus but was later destroyed by Merrick Baliton, the guardian of Princess Shayla using the power of Zen-Aku during his imprisonment in a wolf mask. The other is a human who became him to get revenge on his old/former friends, including their son Cole Evans.
During the war between Animaria and Org army, Master Org managed to defeat Animus, leading Merrick to acquire the Wolf Mask which had Zen-Aku imprisoned within. With its power, he summons the Predazord and engaged the Master Org in battle and eventually defeated it, causing the remainder of his army to retreat. Even so, Zen-Aku soon possessed the warrior, prompting his comrades to seal him.
Master Org's remains would wind up in the Amazon rainforest until being discovered by Dr. Viktor Adler, Richard, and Elizabeth Evans during their quest for Animaria, having survived by infesting several seeds. Embittered by the fact that Richard beat him in proposing Elizabeth in addition to stealing his spotlight during their press conference and also stealing his only chance to have a family, Viktor swallowed the seeds to exact his revenge and become the new Master Org. With his newfound powers, he killed his colleagues in cold blood, but never did find their baby Cole as Elizabeth had hidden him in the jungle, where he was found and raised by a tribe.
From then on, Dr. Adler eventually assumed the identity of Master Org, and continued his mission of wiping out humanity and taking over the Earth by recruiting newly arisen Org spirits to battle the Rangers. For the majority of the series, he wore a helmet that harnessed a fake horn and third eye. He is aided by the real Master Org's Duke Org allies Toxica and Jindrax. They remained loyal, but after discovering the current Master Org was a human imposter with Org powers (who lost them after Cole defeated him in battle when Master Org revealed to him what he did to his parents), they revived Org general Mandilok who threw Viktor off a cliff, and left him for dead.
However, from Dr. Adler's death, the real Master Org was reborn within Dr. Adler's corpse, with a real Org horn and third eye on his forehead. After he awoke within Viktor, he sent the Duke Org Onikage to arrange for his return by destroying the Orgs who have betrayed him, suceeding in destroying Toxica. When he arrived, he destroyed Mandilok and kidnapped and imprisoned Princess Shayla. He then used the power of Shayla's necklace in a ceremony to create an Org Heart, and also revived Retinax, Nayzor, and Mandilok to occupy the Power Rangers. He swallowed the Org Heart, and the last of Dr. Adler's corpse crumbled to ashes. After the destruction of the Nexus, he was reborn with a powerful weapon called the Nexus Blade.
Master Org used the Org Heart to create a full-Org body, which resembled a composite of Retinax, Nayzor, Mandilok and the two Duke Orgs, Jindrax and Toxica. He attacked the Animarium, destroying Animus (for the second time) and the Predazord with ease when they attempted to stop him. Master Org was seemingly destroyed by the Kongazord, but the Org Heart quickly restored him. He then destroyed all of the Wildzords and brought the Animarium down to Earth.
Master Org's Death
Dr. Adler's Master Org confronting Cole
They began their search at the Amazon rainforest to search for the last remnants of Animaria, finding seeds infested with remains of the Ancient Master Org. Seeing this as the opportunity to exact his revenge, Dr. Adler reassured his colleagues that he would destroy the seeds only to take the seeds secretly and swallow them. Moments later, he gained the powers of Master Org and used them to quickly kill his companions in cold blood, but never found Cole.
So it was that Dr. Adler became the second Master Org. He spent the next 20 years searching for the Nexus. He then wore a helmet with a fake horn and third eye. He was aided by the Duke Orgs Jindrax and Toxica. He temporarily turned them into slaves when they discovered his true nature as a human, but they escaped. After repeated defeats at the hands of the Wild Force Power Rangers, Master Org fought them himself. In the final fight, he revealed to Cole what he did to his parents and Cole, wielding the Animarium Armor, deflected one of Master Org's blasts back at him, stripping him of his powers. Unable to fight back, he ordered Cole to kill him, but Cole refused to take the same path Dr. Adler took. Escaping, he was killed when he was helplessly thrown off a cliff by the General Org Mandilok but not before promising that the traitorous general would regret it.
Unknown to everyone, Dr. Adler's death paved the way for the Ancient Master Org to reincarnate through the latter's corpse.
After the demise of Ancient Master Org, Dr. Adler could finally rest in peace, his corrupt life and suffering over. Later, Cole visited Dr. Adler's grave and presented some flowers in front of his tombstone alongside those of his parents. Having forgiven the scientist and decided to move on, Cole tells him that someday he would finally know peace.Personality
The first Master Org is unmistakably an evil and malevolent being. He wants nothing more than great power, and will stop at nothing to obtain it. Even so, he doesn't seem to have the same moral agency that his imposter and future vessel Viktor Adler had, though he isn't above abuse or pettiness, as he only wanted to get back at Mandilok, Toxica, and Jindrax for betraying him, despite the fact that they only betrayed his human doppelganger, not the real one himself. Apparently, the Ancient Master Org's animosity towards the three could be attributed to part of Dr. Adler's malice flown into him during his resurrection through the latter's dead body.
As a human, Dr. Adler was a kind and helpful scientist who had a goal of finding the existence of Animaria, but after losing his chance of marrying Elizabeth because of Richard and having his spotlight being taken over, he became ruthless, cruel, petty, and insane, driven by depression, envy, paranoia, and hatred. He believed that Richard marrying Elizabeth and becoming the focus of media attention was a deliberate slight against him personally. Even nature seemed to only remind Adler of his pain and he came to hate their mission to save the Earth.
After spitefully eating the seeds of Master Org, he changed from a kind human into a sadistic and egotistical Org. Murdering Richard and Elizabeth in cold blood before attempting and failing to kill their son Cole, he was willing to do whatever it takes to make himself powerful. As a human, Dr. Adler respected his allies and is usually quite calm, but once Richard inadvertently ruined his chances of marriage and fame, he didn't care about anyone but himself and was freely willing to sacrifice them with no regrets. He is also unapologetic, remorseless, psychotic, and unsympathetic, as he gloats to Cole that he murdered his parents in cold blood and enjoyed every single minute of it. Not surprisingly, his overall malicious personality was what allowed Ancient Master Org to reincarnate through him albeit influenced by it in the process.Forms

Notes
- Master Org has destroyed more Zords than any other villain in Power Rangers history. Ironically, he is also the villain to be destroyed by the most Zords, as in addition to the revived Zords he thought he had previously killed, 78 more Zords appeared, taking the total up to 100.
- Even though Master Org does not exist in Gaoranger- instead the counterparts of the three General Orgs play larger roles - his costume is taken from the Gorma Emperor XV of Gosei Sentai Dairanger which was never adapted in the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Lord Zedd, who was the main villain during the season, was American-made and hence did not use any Sentai suits). Dr. Adler's status as a former human scientist turned villain may be a possible reference to Doctor Man, the primary villain of the 1984 Sentai series Choudenshi Bioman. Coincidently both Sentai villains are portrayed by the late Japanese actor Munemaru Kouda.
- There is an unrelated character in Gaoranger called the Org Master which is actually just a figurehead that represents the Orgs' power.
- It should be noted that while most of the costume is of the Gorma Emperor, the head piece use is the modified headpiece worn by Gorma Emperor XVI AKA Shadam.
- However, his ultimate form is indeed from Gaoranger, originally known as the Ultimate Org Senki (which was the combined form of the three General Orgs and the two Duke Orgs).
- In a coincidentally ironic instance, Master Org shares another detail with Gorma Emperor XV from Dairanger. In Dairanger, Gorma Emperor XV had actually been destroyed in an ancient battle, with the one the Dairanger face in present time being a clay doll, much like how the original Master Org had been destroyed in ancient times with the Wild Force Rangers initially facing a human imposter.
- In his final form, Master Org had gauntlets or growths on his forearms resembling Toxica's helmet and Jindrax' head, while his body colorations were also seemingly taken from them. As with his Sentai counterpart, no explanation is given for this.
- Viktor Adler was at least 54 years old at the beginning of the series, until his death.
- Master Org’s Staff is a repainted version of Falkar’s Staff with an orb in the middle.
