Lord Zedd is the Emperor of Evil from the Power Rangers franchise. He is also the most confronted enemy of the Rangers (from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers era until Space Rangers and Cosmic Fury eras).
In his backstory, Zedd was already a demonic warlord who fought agaisnt Zordon. He tried to steal the Zeo Crystal but because of the Crystal's protective force shield he finally got disfigured (losing his initial skin). He met Rita Repulsa as he took her as his apprentice. But the witch was captured and imprisoned for at least ten thousands years on the Moon. In parallel, Zedd continued to conquer planets on his own.
When Zedd saw Rita again on the Moon. He backfired her for her multiple failures to eliminate the Power Rangers by sealing her in a dumpster before sending her in the outer space. Spoiler: Rita came back and brainwashed him to make him her husband. He sent evil aliens on Earth (in Angel Grove) to terrorize the population and to try to eliminate the Rangers. He caused the erasure of the powers of the Green Ranger Tommy Oliver (that letting the Rangers being vulnerable for a while). He created evil clones of the Rangers in order to kill the heroes. He kidnapped Kimberly the Pink Ranger to better force the rest of the team to let him enter the Command Center. While he and his wife Rita were plotting against the Rangers, they were later backfired by the Machine Empire (led by the King Mondo's family). That's why the evil couple killed the Machine royal family by a trapped gift. Zedd and Rita joined the United Alliance of Evil (an evil intergalactic organization led by Dark Specter) in order to dominate the entire universe. When Zordon sacrified himself to wash the entire universe, all the Alliance villains are annihiliated except Zedd, Rita, Astronema/Karone and Divatox who were just purified from evilness. The former evil couple was turned into ordinary humans.
Meanwhile, more 20 years later, Zedd is recreated by Reaghoul. Once the former was freed from the necromancer's control, he confronted the Dino Fury team and threatened the planet Earth and the rest of the universe again. He assaulted Grid Battleforce headquarters and made escape Scrozzle (Beast Morphers team's enemy) for the latter helped him to create a Sporix army. The two villains created a Sporix Generator together and they also activated it to blow up the planet Rafkon (the Zayto and Aiyon homeworld). He captured and brainwashed Ollie (the Blue Dino Fury ranger) and used him to lure the other Rangers. He tried to destroy the planet Earth with the Sporix Generator but he had been defeated by Aiyon (the Gold Dino Fury Ranger) and the Green Morphin Master ad he was imprisoned in a Crystal. But he escaped thanks to the Squid Ink Inc, another evil alien organization that worked on weapons production and sales. He, Scrozzle and Bajillia Naire captured the six Morphin Masters and temporarly brainwashed Ollie again. He also used the Master Captivator (Scrozzle's creation) to absorb the Morphin Masters and to evolve into Master Zedd. In this for, he defeated the Cosmic Rangers. Meanwhile, he was backstabbed by Bajillia and Scrozzle who used him as a tool for their own plans: to trap him in the Master Captivator and absorb his energy to create an evil energy wave in order of exterminate all the good inhabitants across the universe. The Rangers and Billy Cranston (the first Blue Ranger) eventually defeated the traitorous villains and captured Zedd once and all.
