Biography
Ivan Ooze was a morphological being and monster that once resided in the universe. At some point, he came to rule the planet Earth 6,000 years ago and resided in the site that would eventually become Angel Grove. It was said that his reign was one of unparalleled terror that was inflicted on the land with him possessing foot soldiers and large mechanical constructs. This was until he came to be imprisoned within a hyperlock chamber by Zordon, Dulcea and the Order of Meridian. Before being imprisoned however, Ivan succeeded in wounding Zordon so severely that he could not survive outside of his time-warp. Despite being trapped, he remained aware of events in the world outside his prison such as the Black Plague and Spanish Inquisition.
Six thousand years later, the hyperlock chamber came to be unearthed by a Angel Grove construction crew. Zordon came to send his Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to hide the chamber once again but they wre beaten to the scene by Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. The villains came to release Ivan Ooze from his prison where they asked for his aid in destroying Zordon. Ivan complied where he managed to breach the Command Center's security with ease and demolished it. After creating an army of Oozemen to keep the Rangers busy, Ivan infiltrated and destroyed the Command Center. In the process, he severely injured Alpha-5 and destroyed the time warp holding Zordon. This caused his old foe to age rapidly leading to him slowly dying as a result. Although he shattered Zordon's time-warp cylinder, for reasons unknown he did not bother to finish him off. The destruction of the Command Center resulted in the Power Rangers losing their powers forcing them to find a new means of powering up.
With his old foe defeated, Ooze travelled to the moon to dispose of Zedd and Rita. He came to trap them within a snow globe in order to prevent them from stopping his own plans. Ivan then took over their empire and getting their disloyal minions Goldar and Mordant to join him. When the Rangers journeyed to Phados in search of the Great Power to save Zordon, Ivan created a flock of Tengu Warriors and sent them to follow the Rangers and kill them, destroying them when they failed. In the meantime, he enslaved the minds of Angel Grove's parents using his ooze, forcing the to dig up his Ectomorphicon Titans, Hornitor and Scorpitron. He then commanded them to leap off a cliff to their deaths, but they were saved by Fred, Bulk, Skull, and the rest of Angel Grove's youth.
Ivan activated the Ectomorphicons and sent them to destroy Angel Grove, heralding a wave of death and destruction unlike anything the town had seen before. As he and Goldar looked on from a tall spire however, the Power Rangers returned, having gotten the Great Power from Phados, and new Zords with it. Much to Ivan's annoyance, they destroyed Scorpitron with their Ninja Zords, forcing him to liquify himself and merge with Hornitor.
In his giant form, Ivan, using the spire as a staff, battled the Rangers' Ninja MegaZord, a battle that threatened to destroy Angel Grove even more than it already had been. The Rangers lured him into space so their fighting would not endanger any more innocents, and then they remembered that Ryan's Comet was supposed to pass by. A kick in the groin knocked Ivan into the path of Ryan's Comet, and it collided with him, destroying his evil forever.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Ivan Ooze was a humanoid being that wore purple robes with a large collar, long enough to cover his feet, purple bracelets with red and green gems, and a belt with a design similar to Rita's headdress. His skin was violet with two horns winding together to make a goatee. His nails were long, unmanicured, and his head was crenellated by ridges of skin. Disguised as a carnival wizard to pass out his ooze to children, Ivan appeared in white face paint and a wig of purple curly hair and wore a comical hat and a navy-blue robe tied with a purple sash.
Overall, Ivan could be described as insane and megalomaniacal. He loved to show off flamboyantly hence his introduction to Rita and Zedd. He saw no one as his equal, and imprisoned Rita and Zedd in a snowglobe to ensure that they didn't get in his way of conquering Earth but was willing to hire their minions. Ivan Ooze held a great grudge against Zordon, whom he vowed to destroy; but also had a sense of humor, making jokes when he felt it appropriate, and saw anyone as potential pawns in his conquest of the universe. He loved his machines dearly, becoming enraged enough to merge with the Hornitor when Scorpitron was destroyed. He could also become bored easily; when the adults were taking too long to dig up his Ecto-Morphicons, Ivan ordered an adult to dance - "Do the swim!" - showing he knew modern dances and music.
