Madame Woe

View source
Icon-mightymorphinThis article is about a monster in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

"Let the power of the sun, the wind, and sea, gather together and come to me."
―Madame Woe's first words when chanting an unknown spell upon some cliffs before being summoned by Rita.[src]

"Woe is me!"
―Madame Woe reacting to the Power Blaster and her final words before her destruction.[src]

Madame Woe was an elemental water fairy monster who served as the titular main antagonist of the episode "Peace, Love and Woe."

History

Past

It is unclear how Madame Woe came into existence but she is an old friend of Rita who gets her name from bringing woe or trouble to everyone she touches, meaning she wasn’t simply made straight after Rita summoned her by Finster. She was most likely either created by clay in Finster’s Monster-Matic 10000 years ago but not given a mission as Rita and her henchmen got sealed in a Space Dumpster or she may have been simply an alien who came into existence being born like Rita.

Mighty Morphin

Rita contacts her as she casts a spell on the Angel Grove cliffs and asks to come to her Moon Palace. Rita decides to destroy Billy so she summons Madame Woe and orders her to send the other Power Rangers except Billy to her dimension and destroy him.

Woe confuses Billy's friend Marge for a Blue Ranger and sends her to the dimension contained inside her jewel.

When the Rangers arrive, she fights them and shows off her abilities to teleport, use her braids as ropes, and fly and sends the Rangers to the same dimension Marge is in.

Rita's plan nearly succeeds, but Billy manages to escape her dimension and break her jewel by snatching it from her forehead and crushing it into dust in his hand which frees his friends. The Rangers overpower the now powerless Woe with their hands and fists and Billy lands the final blow with a double punch to her chest before forming the Power Blaster and finishing off the evil sorceress for good.

Legacy

After being trapped on the Island of Illusion by Lokar, Billy begins to disappear after losing his self-confidence, but Quagmire reminds Billy of his fight with Madame Woe, referring to her as a "nightmare queen", whilst motivating him to still exist. Tvicon TV STORY-Island of Illusion

Personality

Madame Woe was a cold, sinister, devious and sadistic witch, enjoying causing others to suffer. She was very intelligent and calculating despite assuming that Marge was a Power Ranger and teleported her to another dimension. She was also highly arrogant, confident and it was her weakness as she was finally defeated by the Rangers. She was, however, also extremely loyal to Rita and was shown to be good friends with her.
