“ | You've learned nothing. | „ |
~ Villamax's final words before his death. |
Villamax was an honorable biker gang and knight themed warrior and monster. He served as a redeemed major antagonist in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy. He was Trakeena's second-in-command, right-hand man and top general and initially one of the Galaxy Rangers's archenemies for the most of the series before his eventual redemption.
He was voiced by David Lodge who also voiced Loki in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue and Tharok in Legion of Super Heroes.
Biography[]
Lost Galaxy[]
Villamax's past is largely unknown, but it was implied that before the events of the series, he was an active mercenary and was engaged in multiple contract kilings and contract services by hire.
After Trakeena fled from the Scorpion Stinger, she found her way to Planet Onyx. Villamax is first seen on the planet Onyx with his sidekick Kegler playing cards and gambling with some friends. The alien insect princess got in a fight with some bar patrons that she got on the wrong side of and was easily beaten. However Villamax saved her and offered to give Trakeena warrior training, which worked, allowing her to get some payback. Though he succeeds in drastically improving her fighting ability, Kegler informs Trakeena that Scorpius had been mortally wounded by Leo Corbett.
After the insect princess found out that her father, Scorpius, was dying and returned to the Scorpion Stinger, Villamax and his associate, Kegler, accompanied her and he became one of her top generals. He helped her to battle the Power Rangers and on one occasion, introduced her to another honorable warrior known as Loyax, who was going to die soon and wanted one great battle before he met his end, which Trakeena said he would find in a fight against the Power Rangers.
Villamax often conflicted with the ruthless and treacherou Deviot due to the fact that the two had opposite personalities. In one notable instance, Villamax demands Leo's surrender in exchange for the other Rangers and the Magna Defender, shocking Deviot when he keeps his word.
Villamax introduces the honorable monster Loyax, a once heroic figure who became disillusioned and works only for money. Although Maya later redeems him, Deviot destroyed Loyax in cold blood.
When Deviot's treachery was revealed by Trakeena and her right-hand general due to having temporarily joined Captain Mutiny's crew, Trakeena orders Villamax to kill him. However, they merge together in the Cocoon which makes her far more cruel and ruthless to the point of using Stingwingers as suicide to attack civilians in the pursuit of victory at any cost.
He was quite horrified when Trakeena fused with Deviot to become a destructive and merciless psychopath. During her final attack on Terra Venture, Villamax saved a little girl from falling rubble and she gave him a flower. After saving a young girl during Trakeena's assault on Terra Venture and receiving a flower in gratitude, Villamax realized how dishonorable Trakeena's methods have became and ultimately tried to stop her indiscriminate chaos.
Later when Trakeena ordered that he fire on the escape shuttles from the space colony, he refused to attack the defenseless shuttles. She attacked him, but Villamax refused to fight back and tried to reason with her, only for Trakeena to lethaly strike him down, crushing the flower. As he died, he told her, “You learned nothing.”
Beast Morphers[]
Villamax is shown along with Trakeena when Evox's Army and Sledge's Crew are looking for a past villain to revive with the Reanimizer and come across Astronema. When Robo-Roxy deems that Astronema is the perfect candidate but Robo Blaze is not so sure. He recalls the classes from Ranger History, reminds Robo-Roxy that Astronema reformed back to Karone purified by Zordon's sacrificial energy wave, and would later join the Galaxy Rangers as the second Pink Galaxy Ranger. After seeing the footage of Karone doing just that, along with fighting against Villamax and Trakeena.
Seeing the footage of Karone doing just that, along with fighting against Villamax and Trakeena, disgusted Robo-Roxy drops Astronema’s gauntlet. Scrozzle suggests that instead of reviving a villain who turned good.
Personality[]
Villamax is very honorable, an excellent example of this being when he captured most of the other rangers and the Magna Defender and offered to let them go in exchange for Leo surrendering himself. Leo agreed and much to everyone’s surprise, especially Deviot’s, Villamax kept up his end of the deal. Villamax also seems to care greatly for Trakeena, even love her, and was highly saddened by her psychotic shift. He hates Deviot for his traitorous and ruthless personality and the two conflict constantly.
Villamax was evil but was intensely loyal and honorable, keeping his word when making bargins. However, this was also his undoing when he refused to fight Trakeena after she became evil, and she violently killed him. He was also shown to only harm someone if he felt he had no other choice, as he harmed the Power Rangers because they destroyed Trakeena’s father, but he wouldn't harm a child as they had done nothing wrong. He also objected to Trakeena planting bombs on her Stingwingers so they would explode when fighting the rangers and when Trakeena attempted to destroy a shuttle with innocent people in it as he refused to fire the Scorpion Stinger’s lasers.
While he was loyal to Trakeena for the most of the series, and always supported her and loyally followed her orders, Villamax eventually redeemed himself, after realizing what horrible and abhorrent monster Trakeena had became and eventually became an ally to the Galaxy Rangers and helped them defeat his former mistress by sacrificing his own life. This action caused Leo and other Rangers to change their thoughts about Villamax, because they once thought in the past that he was a heinous psychopath, while eventually they thought that he died as a hero, and saving his soul.
Powers and Abilities[]
Villamax is a highly skilled warrior, primarily wielding a sword in combat.
Trivia[]
- Villamax’s personality is similar to that of an unbrainwashed Ecliptor and his conflict with Deviot seems to mirror Ecliptor’s and Darkonda's rivalry.
- While Villamax was honorable and wielded a sword, his Super Sentai counterpart Gun General Sambash, was cold-blooded and used a pistol. This was censored in the Power Rangers adaption which is why there's no footage of him from Seijuu Sentai Gingaman.
