The Thanos of Power Rangers returns.

Warning: Spoilers for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #111!The biggest baddie of the franchise is finally unleashed upon the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The baddie in question is Dark Specter, who fans may recognize as the main antagonist of Power Rangers in Space. However, since the beginning, he has always been a looming presence in the background as leader of the United Alliance of Evil.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT She finally succeeds in her plans in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #111 by Melissa Flores, Simona Di Gianfelice, Raul Angulo, Jose Enrique Fernandez, Ed Dukeshire, Madison Goyette, Kenzi Rzonca, and Allyson Gronowitz. The issue kicks off a year-long story arc, appropriately titled The Darkest Hour. Rita Repulsa, now calling herself Mistress Vile, manages to open a portal using the Zeo Crystal, perverting the Morphin Grid in the process.

Dark Specter is Officially Back, and in Zordon's Body Since the beginning of the latest arc, Rita has utilized the minion services of a new pawn, Vessel. Vessel has been revealed to be Zordon's discarded physical body. Once his mind becomes influenced by a conversation with Zordon's consciousness back at the Command Center, his allegiance to Rita Repulsa becomes questionable.

Dark Specter Finally Has the Perfect Vessel This new revelation forces readers to analyze the past 10 issues through a new lens, specifically Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #104, which the above panels are from. That's the flashback issue that depicts Rita killing her father and becoming Mistress Vile. In the same breath, she promises a vessel for Dark Specter who represents "the husk of a once-great warrior. Pure of heart.

Dark Specter officially touching down on Earth soil would be the equivalent of Thanos finally touching down to take on the Avengers. This mastermind behind all the Rangers' turmoil who has operated behind the scenes for years has finally arrived in person, and he is at his most dangerous as a result. The threat is even greater now that he possesses the fit, warrior body of Zordon to give him the physical prowess to best Rangers in battle.
