Zordon (PR2017)

Zordon was the Red Power Ranger during Earth's Cenozoic period. He led his team for many years and fought many battles but eventually the Green Ranger, Rita Repulsa turned evil and killed her fellow Rangers. Zordon was forced to order Alpha-5, the robotic assistant of the Rangerd to redirect a metor towards Rita and her monsters to protect the Zeo Crystal, with Zordon only surviving the battle due to Alpha-5 inprinting his essence onto the Power Ranger's spaceship. Before Zordon's physical body was destroyed, he hid the five power coins and instructed them to seek only those who were worthy of wielding their power as a Ranger.

Millions of years passed, with Angel Grove eventually being built atop the past secret battleground between Zordon and Rita Repulsa. The Power Rangers' spaceship became buried under the Earth, a mountain forming around it with the entrance to the cave being under water, while the power coins remained embedded in the stone of Angel Grove quarry. Eventually, Jason Lee Scott and four other teenagers with attitude found the power coins and eventually the Power Rangers' ship, helping Alpha-5 bring Zordon back as a avatar of the ship.

While the five teens were granted strength by their respective power coins, none of them were ready to be a team nor were able to morph into Power Rangers. However, if these teenagers are able to morph, it shall open the Morphing Grid and allow Zordon to come back into existence. Zordon orders Alpha-5 to train these new Rangers to their hidden potential, but feels as if their leader Jason is unfit to lead and plans to come back and lead the team himself in order to save the Earth from Rita Repulsa who has awakened and plans to take all the gold of Angel Grove to build her gigantic liquid monster Goldar using her Putties which are grotesque creatures made out of the ground and act as Rita's brainless footsoldiers of terror, though Jason and his team are unaware of Zordon's plan.

Zordon is a military-type leader and expects absolute discipline and order amongst his Power Rangers, often leading to confrontations between him and Jason. While Zordon is wise, he is often secretive in his plans and sometimes harsh, feeling pressured to not repeat the mistakes of his past Ranger team and how they were obliterated at the hands of his former friend and former Green ranger Rita Repulsa who still abuses the powers of her Green power coin with her magic gold staff. Zordon can seem selfish due to his calculating nature, but truly only wants to save the Earth despite his temper.

Zordon is a large bald head made up of thousands of small and constantly moving black bricks on the spaceship's wall in the main command room, with the ship's red lights casting a glow on Zordon's face. Zordon is also in complete control over the spaceship from his essence being a part of the craft stuck under the mountain overlooking Angel Grove.

Alpha-5 is Zordon's short yet wisecracking android assistant. The robot is highly animated with a catchphrase of "Ai-yi-yi", along with seemingly being able to shapeshift with how stretchy his long arms are. Alpha-5 is dark red with steel grey metallic parts and glowing blue areas, aling with a steel saucer for a head with eyestalk-like golden orbs and a glass dome in the centre of his saucer head houses his matrix, which is his very soul and mind and made up of glowing cosmic energy like the Morphing Grid, while Alpha-5's voice sounds oddly reminiscent of comedian Bill Hader. Alpha-5 is training Jason and his team in 'The Pit' , a area under the spaceship that can create hardlight holograms of Putties for training, though the five teens are struggling with even the most basic difficulty.
