Zordon is the former Red Ranger, who has become part of the Morphing Grid after his body was destroyed by a meteor he called down to destroy renegade Green Ranger Rita Repulsa, who had destroyed the rest of his team. Millennia later, after the new Ranger team is drawn together by the Power Coins to respond to the threat of the revived Rita, Jason overhears that Zordon, who has become desperate since the new Rangers fail to come together, intends to use the convergence of the Morphing Grid that will occur when the new Rangers connect to their powers for the first time to restore himself to a corporeal body to stop Rita. Jason then falsely accuses Zordon of using the team for his own agenda; however, when Billy Cranston is drowned by Rita after she forces him to reveal the location of the Zeo Crystal, the other four Rangers affirm their willingness to die for each other as Billy died for them, triggering the convergence Zordon anticipated, only for Zordon to sacrifice the chance to restore himself to bring Billy back to life, showing Zordon's faith in his successors. With Rita's defeat, Zordon congratulates the Rangers, assuring them that their names will be remembered with honor among the other great Rangers of history.

attacked by the forces of Eltar, Zordon's home planet. Zartus, the leader of this assault, was once a friend of Zordon, but Zartus has become convinced that any world that does not measure up to his standards must be destroyed, prompting Zordon to declare his allegiance to Earth over Eltar and help the
Rangers oppose his former friend. The Command Centre is nearly destroyed in the subsequent conflict, but Billy reveals that he has created a system that transferred Zordon from his time warp into a new containment suit that allows Zordon to move and fight alongside the Rangers. During the campaign, Zordon learns that Lord Zedd was once his friend Zophram, the Supreme Guardian of Eltar, who was disfigured into his current state after he tried to steal the Zeo Crystal, who blames Zordon for what happened to him. Ultimately Zordon and Zedd join forces to stop Zartus, and Zedd returns his old friend to the Rangers, but makes it clear that he will not abandon his campaign against Earth. The Rangers are ultimately able to retrieve a new Command Centre from another world and restore Zordon to the warp after Billy's containment suit proves to be too dangerous to use long-term.

With Zordon dying, the Rangers travel to Phaedos in order to obtain the Great Power needed to revive him. After achieving their goal on Phaedos with the help of Dulcea, the Rangers return to Earth and defeat Ivan Ooze. Having succeeded, they return to the Command Center to find Zordon has died. The Rangers then use the Great Power to repair the Command Center and bring Zordon back to life.
320:, Billy Cranston attempts to resurrect Zordon by gathering the energy dispersed at the moment of death, but accidentally revives the evil that had been expunged from Rita by the energy wave. This evil possesses Alpha 8 and becomes Robo-Rita, who terrorizes the world and plans to go back in time to kill all the Power Rangers before Zordon can recruit them, thus sealing her ultimate victory over Zordon. The Power Rangers manage to defeat her before she can initiate her plan.
329:, Aiyon’s consciousness follows a dying Zayto into the Morphin Grid. He encounters someone who looks like Zayto but with blue eyes and no memory of him. The apparition tells him Zayto is dead and that Aiyon’s friends need him. He returns Aiyon’s consciousness with parting words he said he used to say in such times, “May the power protect you.” After Aiyon relates his encounter, Billy feels encouraged that Zordon is indeed still alive and could possibly be rescued.
