Which Power Rangers season featured the villain 'King Mondo'?

The Power Rangers season featuring the villain King Mondo is Power Rangers: Zeo. He is the ruler of the Machine Empire, a robotic civilization that arrives in Earth’s solar system seeking conquest.

King Mondo and Queen Machina lead an army of machines against the Zeo Rangers. Their conflict gives Zeo a different threat from the magical villains of the original Mighty Morphin era: the Machine Empire relies on technology, mass production, and mechanical monsters rather than sorcery.

King Mondo is eventually destroyed by the Super Zeo Megazord, although the story continues to use his legacy. His son Prince Gasket and Princess Archerina temporarily take control, and Mondo is later reconstructed. Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa also become rivals of the Machine Empire, creating a three-sided struggle for power.

The season is sometimes confused with Turbo or In Space because King Mondo’s storyline carries consequences beyond individual episodes. However, his principal role and rule of the Machine Empire belong to Power Rangers Zeo, which aired in 1996.
