Villains in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fictional villains of the Power Rangers universe that appeared in the television series Power Rangers: Dino Thunder were servants of the dinosaur-like Mesogog, who intended to restore the Earth to the primal glory of the age of dinosaurs. Information about them can be found below.

[edit] Mesogog
Mesogog is the chief villain in the TV series Power Rangers: Dino Thunder.
[edit] Elsa
Elsa is a servant of Mesogog and originally co-believed in his dream to see the world reverted to a primordial state under the control of the dinosaurs. She loves to insult and torment her enemies, including her ally Zeltrax, and seemed to be romantically interested in Tommy. Elsa is capable of projecting powerful streams of energy from her sword and possesses incredible martial arts techniques. For much of the early part of the series, she pretended to be Principal Randall, the head of the high school in Reefside, California where the Dino Thunder Power Rangers go to school (or, in the case of Tommy Oliver, work). In the episode, "House of Cards", after Elsa confiscated a card of the powerful Ruby Dragon monster from the card-game "Dragon War" from Ethan James (Blue Ranger), Tommy entered her office on Ethan's behalf in an attempt to speak to her about getting it back, and in the process inadvertently exposed her as the evil servant, and to the entire school while she was fighting him outside of the school. Overtime, she grew to distrust Mesogog, and plotted to expose him when he was the most vulnerable (namely as Anton). She feared that he would eventually tire of her and her failures and destroy her. Mesogog then decided to sacrifice the evil powers which he had granted to Elsa in order to help power his trans-mutation cannon. With that, she was reverted to a normal human form, with no memory of who she was as Elsa by the life-force extractor. The loss of her powers also meant she was good again, and there are hints of a romance between her and Anton Mercer, though it is unknown whether this will amount to anything. Elsa was played by Miriama Smith
[edit] White Ranger Clone
When the dark energy that made Trent evil was removed by Mesogog's life-force extractor, Zeltrax used this energy in conjunction with a fallen monster's copy ability (Copyotter) and the Geno-Randomizer to create the White Ranger clone, a soulless warrior with no trace of Trent. Curiously, though, he was a gracious warrior and complimented an opponent on his skill more than once. The clone fights alongside the others in Mesogog's army, and considers himself to be the only true White Ranger. He began losing his powers due to a glitch in the Morphing Grid caused by his creation, which allowed for only one White Dino Gem at a time. He confronted Trent, and after a long battle he and Trent shared a final attack, but only Trent would survive. Finally defeated, the cloned White Ranger's last words were "I guess you wanted it more. Goodbye... White Ranger." After that he fell and exploded.
The White Ranger Clone was voiced by Adam Gardiner.
[edit] Zeltrax
Zeltrax is a villain in the Power Rangers universe, appearing in the television series Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. He is actually Terrence "Smitty" Smith, an old associate of Tommy's who holds Tommy Oliver responsible for the recent tragic events in his life, including his near fatal accident. Mesogog found his ruined body and rebuilt him with cybernetic technology into a black armored cyborg. As Zeltrax, he is bent only on getting revenge on Tommy. During his attempts to accomplish this, he inadvertently created a clone "son" named Goldenrod. Goldenrod proved a powerful adversary to the Rangers, but was destroyed by Tommy, increasing Zeltrax's hatred of the Black Ranger.
After a second near fatal experience because of his master's plans, Zeltrax turned against Mesogog, fleeing his side and gaining a super powered form through the special underground spring that flowed beneath the Tree of Life. Using the Triptoids, Zeltrax built his giant Zelzord, which was destroyed by the self-destruction of the Rangers' zords. Zeltrax met his end fighting Tommy and Kira, who destroyed him despite his attempt to destroy the Rangers.
Zeltrax had romantic feelings toward Elsa, whom he kidnapped at the end of the series after she had been reverted back to normal. He also accidentally created a son when he attempted to enhance his powers with the Geno-Randomizer, named Goldenrod, who was later destroyed by Tommy, further fueling Zeltrax's anger towards Tommy.
In Power Rangers: SPD, Zeltrax reluctantly joined forces with Emperor Gruumm who had traveled back in time through a temporal wormhole, presumably to a point in 2004 before the events of Dino Thunder's season finale. Together they fought the Dino Thunder Power Rangers and the S.P.D. B-Squad Rangers. Despite Gruumm's aid, Zeltrax was defeated by a double-team from Tommy and Anubis Cruger, the SPD Shadow Ranger.
Zeltrax was voiced by James Gaylyn; the actor for Smitty was uncredited.
