Rangers. You must act swiftly. The planet is in grave danger. 6000 years ago, a morphological being known as Ivan Ooze ruled the world with a reign of unparalleled terror. He was on the verge of completing construction of his ultimate weapon; the Ecto-Morphicon Titans. Twin machines capable of enslaving the entire universe! A group of young warriors, like yourselves, lured him into a Hyperlock Chamber and sealed him deep underground. But now the chamber has been accidentally uncovered. You must return it to the depths before it is opened and Ivan is released. Use extreme caution Rangers. You are dealing with an evil here that is beyond all imagination.

~ Zordon regarding Ivan Ooze.

Hah! Oh, the things that I have missed! The Black Plague. The Spanish Inquisition. The Brady Bunch reunion. BEH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA! EH HEE HA HA HA HA! EH HEH HA HA HA HA HA HA! AH HA HA HA HA HA!

~ Ivan Ooze's most famous quote as he demolished the Command Center.
He is a cruel, alien sorcerer and tyrant that once ruled the universe before he was sealed away. Upon being freed by Rita and Zedd thousands of years later, he resumes his previous plot to take over the universe and the one who imprisoned him eons ago. He is also the third archenemy of Zordon.
Ivan Ooze was a conniving alien tyrant and treacherous sorcerer who, according to Zordon, "ruled the world with a reign of unparalleled terror". However, this was not enough for him as he desired to conquer the entire universe, so he built his ultimate weapons, the Ecto-Morphicon Titans, to conquer the universe. According to supplementary material, Ivan Ooze rid entire planets of adults, whilst brainwashing the youths to follow his footsteps.
However, Ivan Ooze was imprisoned in the Hyperlock Chamber by Zordon, Dulcea and the "Order of Meridian" who presumably were the precursors to the modern-day Power Rangers and the Titans were sealed underground close to him 6000 years ago. The Hyperlock Chamber with Ivan in ooze form was sealed "deep underground" somewhere beneath the modern-day city of Angel Grove, California.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie
Ivan's Hyperlock Chamber is accidentally unearthed by a construction crew in 1995 during the Angel Grove Jump-A-Thon event shortly after Bulk and Skull are kicked off-site. That night, Zordon sends the Rangers to hide the chamber once more but they are beaten to the scene by Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. Having found Ivan after searching for 2000 years, Zedd releases Ooze and asks for Zordon's destruction in return which he agrees to despite being disgusted when learning of his nemesis' survival. Ivan Ooze takes the form of a passed-out security guard and meets the six Power Rangers before revealing himself and joking with them before unleashing his Oozemen to keep them distracted.
Upon teleporting to the Command Center. Although only those with Power Coins can enter, Ivan averts this by seeping through the cracks in the door, frying Alpha 5 into uselessness, and getting into a conversation with his old enemy Zordon, expressing his hatred towards him for locking him away, now destroying the Command Center in glee. Doing so destroys the Rangers' powers and renders them helpless despite wiping out "his children." Afterwards, Ooze travels to the Moon Palace on the planet Earth's moon and betrays both Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa, as Zedd tries to blast him, but had no effect on Ivan as he has proved to be too powerful for both Zedd and Rita and then traps them within a snow-globe.
Their henchmen Goldar and Mordant swear allegiance to Ivan rather than join Rita and Zedd in captivity. Ivan then begins brainwashing the parents of Angel Grove into digging up the parts of his Ecto-Morphicons by giving their children mind-controlling ooze in jars under the guise of a friendly wizard. Once the Ecto-Morphicons are restored fully, he reanimates them with his ooze and sends them out to destroy the city while ordering the parents to jump to their deaths back at the construction site. Ivan then spends his time in the observatory with Goldar, watching the destruction his machines wreck the city. After the Rangers manage to restore their powers on Phados, they return to Angel Grove and battle Ivan's machines with their new Ninja Zords. Using these Zords, they are able to destroy one of the Morphicons, Scorpitron, and corner the other named Hornitron.
Enraged and intent on not losing the remaining Ecto-Morphicon Titan, Ivan combines to become a gigantic mutant hybrid of the two though he then crushes the monorail even as Fred Kelman and the children of Angel Grove rush to save their parents. Tommy leaves in the White Ninja Falconzord to become the missing rail whilst the other Rangers form the Ninja Megazord but Ivan-Ectomorphicon destroys their Fire Saber and decimates them. Returning, they form the Ninja FalconMegazord by combining with the Falconzord and fly into the sky but Ivan-Ectomorphicon sprouts wings and gives chase. The battle progresses into outer space where Ivan retains the upper hand but the Rangers have the idea to destroy him with the rapidly approaching Ryan's Comet. As it comes closer, Aisha uses the Megazord's panic button to knee Ivan-Ectomorphicon in the groin and fly away even as the Comet slams into Ivan and obliterates him on contact. Ivan's death also release the parents from his mind control and Rita and Zedd from their snow-globe prison.
In other media

Personality
“
*with a Southern lilt* Woo hoo! Where's my autograph book? Hah! Power Rangers, huh? So Zordon's still using a bunch of kids to do his dirty work. Well, meet my kids! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! UH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
„
~ One of Ivan Ooze's most famous lines after Tommy Oliver revealed they were the new Power Rangers.
Ivan Ooze is a very comedic, goofy, and over-the-top joke villain with a demented sense of humour but this is a facade designed to disguise his true insane, cruel, violent, murderous, sadistic, vile, and megalomaniacal nature. Ooze's true nature often manifests as snide comments and drily delivered threats said in a low tone; loving to show off flamboyantly hence his introduction to Rita and Zedd and sees no one as his equal; imprisoning Rita and Zedd in a snow globe to ensure that they do not get in his way of conquering Earth but is willing to hire their minions although he constantly threatens to butcher and abuse them in some way.
Ivan Ooze, in line with many other cliche villains, takes being called both ugly and handsome as compliments which he accepts graciously. Ivan is also extremely ruthless as he violently murders the entire army of Tengu Warriors for a single failure and threatens to cut off Goldar's wings for just smacking him on the back. Ooze holds a great grudge against Zordon, whom he vows to destroy since he is extremely bitter towards him for locking him away for 6000 years in a massive egg. However, Ivan does have something that he cared about since he loved his machines dearly, becoming enraged enough to merge with Hornitor when Scorpitron is destroyed. He also becomes bored easily; when the adults are taking too long to dig up his Ecto-Morphicons, Ivan orders an adult to dance - "do the swim!" - showing he knew modern dances and music.
Powers and Abilities
Durability: Ivan took a blast from Lord Zedd but was completely unfazed, actually laughing at it and saying it tickled.

Ooze Projection: Ivan Ooze can also fling ooze off himself to silence others annoying him such as Rita.
Shrinking: Ivan shrank Rita and Zedd to the size of snowglobe figurines.
Materialization: Ivan can create simple objects out of nothing such as a flute or a snow globe.
Hypnosis: Using his ooze as a medium, Ivan can put anyone he wants under his spell; he needed adults and any that touched the bottled ooze he handled out were put to work on digging up his Ecto-Morphicons.
Lightning: At multiple times, Ooze sent out purple lightning from his fingers for various outcomes.
Telekinesis: Ivan can lift enemies up into the air with his lightning.

Trivia
Despite being one of the most well known and most powerful Power Rangers villains, due to appearing in the first Power Rangers movie, Ivan Ooze is non-canon to the franchise as the movie occurred in another continuity.
Despite mostly speaking in an vaguely American accent as Ivan, Paul Freeman is an English actor and his very strong accent occasionally slips through during the movie.
However, this could be explained away as Ivan putting on a mocking accent (like he did earlier with a Southern accent).
Ivan Ooze's most famous line about events that he missed was apparently partially ad-libbed by Paul Freeman on the spot since it originally ended after "the Spanish Inquisition." and it was kept in for being funny.
Ivan was the first villain to fight the Rangers personally since Lord Zedd did not fight Tommy until the thirtieth episode of Season 3 three months after the film's release.
Both comic adaptations, as well as the Sega Genesis adaptation, further elaborate on Ivan Ooze's past; he wiped out adults and brainwashed children on a planetary scale until an order of young warriors imprisoned him.
