History

Past

Rito Revolto was born to Master Vile and an unknown mother as the younger half-brother of space witch Rita Repulsa. Once, on Rita’s birthday, her father gifted her a pretty dragon, though what she really wanted was a planet of her own. According to Rito, as revenge, Rita used the dragon to burn the family castle down to prove a point (which may have caused Rito’s skeleton-like appearance).

Mighty Morphin

Arriving on the moon a year after Rita's wedding to Lord Zedd, Rito brings some Tenga Warriors in egg form as well as a Vampirus egg to the Moon and buries them. He then enters the Moon Palace via fireball and Zedd has Goldar restrain and destroy Rito but Rita recognizes him and he is allowed to live. After being grilled for what the eggs are, with Rito refusing to answer because it is a surprise, he offers to kill the Power Rangers which Zedd scoffs at but Rita has the idea to use him as bait for an army of monsters to destroy the Thunderzords. Rito later comes to Earth with the Fighting Flea, the Lizzinator, the Octophantom and the Stag Beetle who hide whilst Rito has a rest. When the Rangers arrive, Rita and Zedd enlarge Rito who tries and fails to trample the Rangers underfoot but they dodge and summon the Thunder Megazord and White Tigerzord. Though Rito is swiftly beaten down, the monsters are enlarged and thier combined power is too much for the Zords; causing a massive power surge in the Command Center and destroying the Thunderzords.

With the Thunderzords gone and the Power Coins unusable due to damage, the villains celebrate with Rito eventually revealing the Tengas after being threatened with death. However, after Zedd's attempt to stop the Rangers from reaching the Temple of Power in the Desert of Despair with the Tenga Warriors fails, Zedd sends down Rito to destroy Angel Grove before they can return and enlarge him. However, before he can do any substantial damage, the Ninjazords arrive much to Rito's shock. They quickly overpower him; The Blue Wolf Ninjazord hitting him with its tail, the Yellow Bear Ninjazord causing earthquakes strong enough to knock him down, the Black Frog Ninjazord hitting him with its fire breath. and the Pink Crane Ninjazord disarming him with its lasers. Taking the initiative, the Red Ape Ninjazord takes him down with its swords before combining them into a lance and sending Rito flying with a stab to the face. However, Rito summons a flamethrower which he uses to blast the Ape Ninjazord before blocking energy lasers from the Crane and White Ninja Falconzord. The Rangers form the Ninja Megazord which Rito is confident against because it is just one enemy but it shrugs off his blasts and uses the Power Punch to first smash the flamethrower and then send Rito flying. They then combine with the Ninja MegaFalconzord so Rito uses his flamethrower tank as a jetpack but is swing kicked out of the air before the Ninja MegaFalconzord dive-bombs him and finishes him off with the Power Punch. Rito falls down and recovers but his soul starts ripping itself out of his body so he slips to the ground and explodes. However, Rito survives and returns to the Moon Palace where he is chastised and the plans turn to destroying the Temple of Power with the Vampirus but he is soon destroyed. Despite his plan failing, Rito decides to remain with the Evil Space Aliens as extra muscle; becoming the fighting partner of Goldar similarly to Scorpina. TV STORY-Ninja Quest

Rito suggests that he switch places with Zedd and Rita like how Rocky is switching places with an Angel Grove High teacher at the time named Mr. Wilton. Rita is against it but Zedd decides the idea is humorous as it will teach Rito a lesson when he fails. He attempts to have Finster make a monster for him but he refuses since he works for Rita and Zedd. Instead, Rito goes to Earth with the Z Staff, hoping to turn the Power Rangers into monsters to serve him. However, he ends up creating Marvo the Meanie instead out of Rocky's teacher. Marvo manages to turn five of the Rangers into chemical beakers with only Rocky remaining. Rito gets the Rangers in a beaker holder but Rocky takes it so he and Marvo advance on Rocky but he manages to escape back to the Command Center . After the Rangers are restored and confront Marvo, Rita and Zedd mock Rito who decides to enlarge his monster. Once Marvo ceases to exist, his "minions" reclaim thier positions shortly thereafter and Rito is demoted back to general despite his repeated begging before being forced to clean Finster’s lab as punishment.

Personality

Rito Revolto, despite being a skilled warrior powerful enough to destroy the Thunderzords, was also a bumbling idiot who would frequently prove just as much a hindrance to Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa's plans as he was an asset. He was often friendly and courteous to his allies, blissfully unaware of just how badly in reality he was simply annoying them. He was openly fond of his brother-in-law Lord Zedd, who in turn deeply hated him, especially as he could never remember Zedd's actual name. After being integrated into Rita and Zedd's forces, he was often paired up in battle alongside Goldar, who also found him insufferable. In battle however, Rito was often cutthroat and bloodthirsty, often eager to jump into battle for the thrill of the fight.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Durability: Rito survived both the Ninja MegaFalconzord and Ninja Megazord Power Punches without a scratch on him.
  • Transport Ball: Rito arrived on the moon in a large red-orange ball of fire.
  • Reversal Beam: Rito can fire a dark red-black beam from his left hand that can reverse attacks and make them return back into the Zord, as seen when he did this with the Tigerzord's final White Tiger Thunderbolt.

Abilities

  • Skilled Fighter: Rito was able to match and even overwhelm the Thunder Megazord and White Tigerzord in battle with ease.

Weaknesses

  • Lack of intellect: Despite his power and fighting prowess, Rito is remarkably unintelligent, making him easy to fool and often leading him to make boneheaded decisions.

Arsenal

  • Bone Sword: Rito Revolto's main weapon was a giant sword made of bones intersected with each other.
    • Lightning Ball Blast: Rito's most powerful attack where he aimed his swordtip into the air to make red lightning strike it and then aimed it forth to fire a devastating barrage of red energy balls. A single use took down both the Thunder Megazord and White Tigerzord with a single blast and a second caused their destruction since it was responsible for the fatal power surge.
  • Flamethrower Cannon: Rito's secondary weapon was a large camo "flamethrower" cannon which could fire massive bolts of red electricity from the tip. Both times it was used, it was destroyed by the Ninja Megazord's Power Punch.
    • Jet-pack: The fuel tank for Rito's flamethrower doubled as a jetpack which allowed him to fly.
  • Z-Staff and Rita’s Wand: In the episode "Wizard for a Day", due to Rito and his bosses having a falling out, they decided to be the stupid secondary antagonists and he took their weapons for his own. However, they reclaimed them by the end of the episode.
    • Monster Creation: Like Zedd, Rito could create his own monster using nothing but lightning from the magic staff as seen when he turned Mr. Wilton into Marvo the Meanie.
    • Monster Growth: Rito could cross Zedd's staff with Rita's wand to fire blue lightning and grow the monster of the day.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Design

  • In addition to being based upon a human skeleton, Rito was based upon the Gashadokuro from Japanese mythology. They are giant Yokai created from the skeletons of those who starved to death gathering to form into a skeletal specter. They sneak up on people and devour them after becoming large. The only way a human can protect themselves from one is to hear a distinct ringing noise in their ear.

Etymology

  • Counterbalancing his half-sister, Rito was named with the Spanish/Portuguese/Italian convention of swapping a feminine "a" for a masculine "o", as well as playing on revolting, i.e. repulsive, disgusting, or unsightly in his own right.

Notes

  • Though Rito is Rita's half-brother, indicated by them having different last names, she only ever refers to him as her brother.
  • A running gag throughout season 3 involves Rito constantly referring to Lord Zedd as "Ed", which Zedd angrily corrects him on to no avail.
  • The Rito Revolto costume was too damaged to be used during "Countdown to Destruction". He was originally going to be purified with his sister, but couldn’t because there was no costume to use. It has never been revealed what officially happened to Rito following Zordon's sacrifice, if he was purified or destroyed.
