For anyone who grew up watching Power Rangers in the '90s and 2000s, it's hard to forget the catchy theme songs, fight scenes, and villains. Many can agree that some of the best series were the earliest ones especially Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
While the American version stayed true to its Japanese villains and main characters, it added more persona that made them so memorable for fans. Some even had a crush on the Red Ranger (Danny Slavin) and feared Scorpius (Kim Strauss), a heinous and vile evil creature. Some Power Rangers were more fan favorites than others and many of the villains didn't sit well with the audience.
Trakeena
Trakeen (Amy Miller) was just as evil and treacherous as her father Scorpius. By the end of the show becomes even more so and a memorable enemy. Trakeena was beautiful but followed in her father's footsteps seeking power and wreaking havoc for the Rangers.
She had her own evil schemes like sending a monster to steal the beauty of all women on Terra Venture. At the end of the show, she becomes the main villain and indestructible using her father's cacoon. Fans can recall her new insect form that almost killed Leo. She manages to survive and even returns in Lightspeed Rescue seeking revenge.
Scorpius
Every new series of Power Rangers need to have two main elements. The good guys and the bad guys. In Lost Galaxy, the title for the evil enemy that wanted to destroy the Rangers and the world was Scorpius. Unlike other villains in the past, Scorpius often didn't physically carry out his plans. This was because he was an alien insectoid warlord.
Scorpius was hungry for power and destroyed anyone in his path. His mission to obtain powerful objects leads him on the quest for the Quasar Sabers and Lights of Orion which ends up with the creation of the Power Rangers. Like all villains, he sought to destroy them and take their powers.
Furio
Compared to Trakeena, Furio (Tom Wyner) is only a level lower on the evil scale. He was a trusty minion and ally to Scorpius and the general of his army. Furio was responsible for destroying the planet of Mirinoi and all its people turning them to stone. He sought Scorpius's approval for his efforts.
He too would go on a ravenous hunt to find the Light of Orion to gain its power and appease his leader. His main enemy was the Red Ranger and in an attempt to defeat him, Furio commits suicide by exploding. All while engaging in a fight with the Red Ranger. His role was then replaced by Deviot (Bob Papenbrook).
Kai
Many fans recall Kai (Archie Kao) as being a bit too stuck up and stubborn compared to the other Rangers. But he's still loved as the Blue Ranger. From the start, he was against Leo's involvement seeing as he wasn't part of the crew or had any training and snuck aboard Terra Venture.
He's a classic overachiever and ambitious, but he does eventually soften up a bit. He learns that when it comes to saving the galaxy, rules need to be broken. Fans recall seeing him and Leo butt heads time and again. Kai still proved himself to be a valuable Ranger whose main goal is to save Terra Venture and his friends.
Karone
It's not unusual in Power Rangers series to switch up the main characters. A passing of the baton is an acceptable term. In Mighty Morphin, the Pink Ranger was switched out, and the Blue Ranger in Turbo. Lost Galaxy was one of the rare few that made a switch well into the show.
Kendrix (Valerie Vernon) was the first Pink Ranger who sacrificed herself for the others. She returns as a spirit and passes her morpher to Karone (Melody Perkins). Fans remember Karone as being Astronema, the main villain in In Space who also learns she is the Red Ranger's lost sister. Karone adorned her role as the Pink Ranger well and was highly liked by fans.
Damon
Fans adored Damon (Reggie Rolle) for his easy-breezy attitude and jolly demeanor. He was the senior mechanic on Terra Venture and his knowledge were valuable when having to use the Astro Megaship. Damon's witty character and playfulness was only one side to him.
He would sometimes be the voice of reason between Leo and the others and took his job as the Green Ranger seriously. To top it off, Demon had a past as an amateur boxer. His skills in the ring certainly came in handy when having to fight Trakeena and her minions.
Kendrix
Kendrix will forever be regarded as one of the most memorable Pink Rangers besides Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson) from Mighty Morphin. Her original title was as the science officer onboard Terra Venture. She, along with the others, is chosen when they pull the Quasar Sabers from the stone.
Fans loved the character for her kind and sweet-spirited persona. She was also brilliant and strategic. She learns to be open to the world outside of science when she develops a friendship with Leo. She gets high remarks for her brave sacrifice midway through the show. When faced with saving the life of a Space Power Ranger, she sacrifices herself. She returns as a spirit to pass on her morpher. She later comes back to life and reclaims her Saber.
Maya
Maya (Cerina Vincent) was a character that was hard not to love. She hails from the jungle planet Mirinoi, but when she becomes the Yellow Ranger and moves to Terra Venture after the sad demise of her people and family. Maya is the most peaceful and sweetest character on the team.
Maya was always understanding and had a unique ability to understand the people around her as well as the Zords. She was a voice of reason and compassion for the Rangers.
Leo
There are countless fans of the show that had a major crush on Leo. But, besides his good looks, Leo was a notable Red Ranger. Leo sneaks aboard Terra Venture and is given the Quasar Saber before his brother's supposed demise. At first, Leo is ill-suited for his role and still needs to grow up.
He was ill-tempered and irrational but he soon changes. He learns the value of teamwork and shows his overall good morals. In the end, Leo takes on a big role when he single-handedly defeats Trakeena. Later on, in a special crossover, he proves he was always worthy of the Saber when he retakes it from the stone.
Mike
Mike (Russell Lawrence) was a supporting main character who was first introduced at the beginning of the show. He was Leo's older brother falls into an abyss when trying to escape Mirinoi. Mike was the original Red Ranger who pulled the Quasar Saber from the stone.
Before his fall, he passed the saber on to Leo stating it was destiny. Many believed him to be dead but he returned when the Magna Defender sacrificed himself. Mike then became the Magna Defender and a crucial ally to the Rangers. When Terra Venture needed to escape through a portal, Mike sacrificed his powers and Zord to keep it open.
