Better Know a Villain: In Space

Astronema
Actress: Melody Perkins

A new villain for the new season, Astronema heralds a brand-new paradigm where at least one villain each season is an attractive woman who is basically human in appearance. For that, all boys and men born between 1984 and 1996 should celebrate her.

Beyond that, she starts the season as basically a cipher. She gets better, but it takes quite a few episodes for her to have much more personality than "wild-overacting villain in leather."

Melody Perkins had a few bit parts on TV and retired in 2004. Not exactly the most surprising career arc for a Power Rangers actor.


Ecliptor
Voice Actor: Lex Lang

Ecliptor is Astronema's second-in-command. He's your standard noble demon type. You know, he's willing to help an army of unspeakable evil conquer the universe, but he has a code of honor. It's worth noting that his code says nothing about sending giant monsters to destroy city centers week after week.


Elgar
Voice Actor: Derek Stephen Prince

Elgar's back. No one's quite sure why. Not even the characters in the show.


Quantrons

Astronema's troops who exist mainly to get pummeled into the ground over and over and over.
