Centuries ago, the forces of Good and Evil met in a great battle. The wizard Zordon led the forces of good, against a powerful witch called Rita Repulsa, who wanted to rule the universe with her forces of evil. Both sides fought with great strength, but the war ended in a tie. So Zordon and Rita made a deal. They would both flip coins to decide who was the victor of the war. Whoever made the best three tosses out of the five would win. The loser would be locked away for eternity.
Of course, Zordon did not want to risk the safety of the universe on five coins… unless they were magic coins! With his five special coins, Zordon was the victor of the coin toss. However, Rita Repulsa would not stand defeated, she still had one last trick up her sleeve. Before she was imprisoned, she used her magic to trap Zordon in another dimension. Rita and her wicked friends were dropped into an intergalactic dumpster, and flung into outer space.
