"Hmmmmmmmm. Hit me."
―Villamax's first words when playing cards with an alien on Onyx.[src]

"You've learned nothing."
―Villamax's final words before his death.[src]

Villamax was a biker-themed monster who served as the honorable tertiary antagonist of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

History

Lost Galaxy

Villamax is first seen on the planet Onyx with his sidekick Kegler playing cards and gambling with some friends. Villamax aids Trakeena when she was cruelly attacked by unscrupulous patrons of the Onyx pub and agrees to train her as a warrior. Though he succeeds in drastically improving her fighting ability, Kegler informs Trakeena that Scorpius had been mortally wounded by Leo Corbett. Villamax then accompany her to the Scorpion Stinger where Scorpius dies and Trakeena becomes leader of his army. Her first act as leader is to instate Kegler and Villamax as her new generals which they honorably accept due to her sense of honor. Tvicon TV STORY-Heir to the Throne

Villamax often clashes with the ruthless evil of Deviot such as one, in one notable instance, Villamax demands Leo's surrender in exchange for the other Rangers and the Magna Defender, shocking Deviot when he keeps his word. Tvicon TV STORY-An Evil Game

Villamax introduces the honorable monster Loyax, a once heroic figure who became disillusioned and works only for money. Although Maya later redeems him, Deviot destroys Loyax in cold blood. Tvicon TV STORY-Loyax' Last Battle

When Deviot's treachery is revealed due to having temporarily joined Captain Mutiny's crew, Trakeena orders Villamax to kill him. However, they merge together in the Cocoon which makes her far more cruel and ruthless to the point of using Stingwingers as suicide to attack civilians in the pursuit of victory at any cost. After saving a young girl during Trakeena's assault on Terra Venture and receiving a flower in gratitude, Villamax realizes how dishonorable Trakeena's methods have become and ultimately tries to stop her indiscriminate chaos. He attempts to reason with her, but she blasts him with the laser gauntlets she got from Deviot and attacks him repeatedly with her sword. Villamax refuses to fight back, and she eventually strikes a fatal blow before crushing his flower. She taunts him that he taught her too well and he claims that all his teachings were for nothing before dissolving into energy. Tvicon TV STORY-Journey's End

Beast Morphers

Trakeena and Villamax in beast morphers

Villamax in Scrozzle's database.

Villamax is shown along with Trakeena when Evox's Army and Sledge's Crew are looking for a past villain to revive with the Reanimizer and come across Astronema. While Robo-Roxy deems that Astronema is the perfect candidate, Robo Blaze is not so sure. He recalls the classes from Ranger History and reminds Robo-Roxy that Astronema reformed back to Karone, purified by Zordon's sacrificial energy wave, and would later join the Galaxy Rangers as the second Pink Galaxy Ranger.

Seeing the footage of Karone doing just that, along with fighting against Villamax and Trakeena, disgusted Robo-Roxy drops Astronema’s gauntlet. Scrozzle suggests that instead of reviving a villain who turned good. Tvicon TV STORY-Making Bad

Personality

Villamax was evil but was intensely loyal and honorable, keeping his word when making bargins. However, this was also his undoing when he refused to fight Trakeena after she became evil, and she violently killed him. He was also shown to only harm someone if he felt he had no other choice, as he harmed the Power Rangers because they destroyed Trakeena’s father, but he wouldn't harm a child as they had done nothing wrong. He also objected to the Deviot-Influenced Trakeena planting bombs on her Stingwingers so they would explode when fighting the Rangers and when the Deviot-Influenced Trakeena attempted to destroy a shuttle with innocent people in it as he refused to fire the Scorpion Stinger’s lasers. He hates the treachery and wanted to destroy Deviot when he learnt that he betrayed his Queen. He was horrified when Trakeena was forced to fuse with Deviot and tried to stop it.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Teleportation: Villamax could teleport to any location at will.

Abilities

  • Strength: Villamax was possibly the third strongest monster throughout Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, the second being Captain Mutiny and the strongest being Trakeena.
  • Master Swordsman: Villamax was an excellent swordsman, being able to overwhelm and cut down all five Galaxy Rangers singlehandedly.

Weaknesses

  • Honorable Nature: While not a weakness per se, Villamax's honorable personality led to him refusing to kill Trakeena in self defense, which led to his demise.

Arsenal

  • Sword: Villamax used a large sword in combat.
  • Motorcycle: Villamax used a motorcycle during Trakeena's training montage but did not bring it with him when he joined her crew.
  • Binoculars: In the episode "The Chameliac Warrior". Villamax used binoculars to survey the area around the Zord destroying laser.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Design

  • Via his Sentai counterpart, Villamax was designed to resemble a motorcycle gang leader.

Etymology

  • His name was a portmanteau of villain and maximum to contrast with his honorable personality.

Notes

  • While Villamax only used a sword, his Super Sentai counterpart Sambash primarily used a pistol as his weapon. This was changed to tone down the violence and likely to avoid potential controversy associated with showing realistic-looking guns in U.S. children's shows.
