Dark Specter (voiced by Christopher Grey) is known throughout the universe as the Grand Monarch of Evil. Dark Specter is a gigantic entity, as the Dark Fortress is smaller than his hand. He is portrayed as the ultimate evil; the other villains are terrified of him. He captured Zordon, the Power Rangers' former mentor, and drains him of his powers. As the Grand Monarch, Dark Specter brings forth a union of villains, which includes Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, Goldar, Squatt, Baboo, Finster, and Master Vile, as well as the Machine Empire, Divatox, Rygog, Porto, Elgar, and General Havoc from the Turbo era, and Ecliptor, Darkonda, the Psycho Rangers and Astronema from PRiS. Selecting Astronema to battle the Space Rangers, Dark Specter makes sure they never rescue Zordon from his clutches. In Countdown to Destruction, Dark Specter initiates a full-scale assault on Earth, Gratha, Triforia, KO-35, and the homeworld of the Phantom Ranger, Eltar. Astronema, who was now fully evil and brainwashed by Dark Specter, turned on him in order to destroy him by prolonging the attacks of the Psycho Rangers and other evil forces that drew power from him; while she was able to seriously weaken him in this manner, she did not succeed in destroying him. Though the attack was going well, Dark Specter is assaulted by Darkonda, who tried to slay Dark Specter with a planet-destroying missile. The attack destroyed Dark Specter, but only after he swallowed Darkonda's Velocifighter whole, completely destroying the bounty hunter along with his steed. Dark Specter never fought the rangers personally, so it is unknown whether they could have stood a chance against him.
Dark Specter is similar in appearance to the lava demon Maligore (even Divatox acknowledged the resemblance) and is capable of spitting fireballs.
