Biography[]
Past[]
Lah Deus was originally a mass of genetics that was somehow brought to life. Desiring to assimilate as much genetic materials as possible in order to become the ultimate lifeform of the universe, Lah Deus founded the Reconstructive Experiment Empire Mess and travelled across the universe invading planets to gain test subjects for genetic experiments. To perform these experiments, he recruited several Great Doctors over the eons and undergone several reconstructive operations in those years to enhance himself.
300 years before he mounted his Earth invasion, Lah Deus abducted Lie Köpflen while he was still an Earth infant and raised him to serve as the next Great Doctor of Mess to further their genetic research. To this end, Lah Deus employed the Alien Hunters led by Sir Cowler to kidnap people to be experimented on by Mess. Kopflen would create several lifeforms to serve as the generals of Lah Deus' army, as well as a creature that could enlarge the monsters of Mess known as The Kuragen. In 1966, the Alien Hunters abducted five infant children from Earth. Before they could be experimented on by Mess however, the children were rescued by the Flash race.
Flashman[]
Lah Deus and the Mess Empire eventually return to Earth with the intention of conquering it in order to use its lifeforms for Mess' genetic experiments. However, Mess is opposed by the Flashmen, who were originally the 5 children abducted by the Alien Hunters.
After the repeated failures of Keflen's creations to destroy the Flashmen, Lah Deus brings in the Alien Hunters to back up Mess' forces. Lah Deus eventually allows Kopfien to use Cowler's Alien Hunters for his experiments. However, infuriated by Lah Deus sacrificing his men, as well as being tired of being controlled by him, Cowler begins to plot against the Emperor. Around this time, Lah Deus allows Keflen to use his own genetics to create Beast Warriors called "Deus Beast Warriors." Seeking revenge on Lah Deus for the deaths of his men, Sir Cowler creates his own Gene Synthesizer and uses it to weaken Lah Deus/ After Bo Gardan is turned into The Gardless but changed back by Sara, the Alien Hunters raid the Labdoh; dispatching the Zolohs and confronting Lah Deus. Lah Deus puts up a very good fight but is overwhelmed by the Hunters and struck down by a combination of having Bo Garden's spear at him and being struck by Sir Kauler's whip. After this, Lah Deus is torn apart; seemingly killing him and leaving behind only his mask. With Lah Deus gone, Keflen eagerly attempts to take over Mess.
However, Lah Deus soon reforms from his genetics and returns to punish Köpflen for his treachery. Lah Deus reveals to Keflen his past as an Earthling and mocks him for his heritage. Angered, Keflen refuses to submit to Lah Deus and uses the Gene Syncronizer to reconstruct his former master into a Deus Beast Warrior called The Deusura. Keflen sends the Deusura to destroy the Flashmen but Lah Deus quickly resurfaces and returns to his original form. Vowing to destroy both the Flashmen and Keflen, Lah Deus engages the Flashman in an ultimate showdown. The Emperor overpowers them at first by sending them to another dimension where he has absolute power but, once Sara returns, the team use two consecutive Rolling Vulcans to destroy Lah Deus. Keflen then sends Kuragen to resurrect and grow The Deusura from Lah Deus. The Deseura is then destroyed by the Flashman with Flash King, leaving behind only the broken mask of Lah Deus.
The mask of Lah Deus in the final shot of the finale
However, this is not the ultimate end of Lah Deus since Lah Deus' broken mask is taken by Köpflen in order to extract its DNA for his final creation, The Demoss which he creates by fusing the mask with the body of Kuragen. The Demoss is used by Kopflen in a final attack and is destroyed by the Flashmen. Even with The Demoss destroyed however, Lah Deus' mask is still left behind on Earth which hints that the evil alien overlord might someday return.
Turboranger[]
During the Turborangers' first battle against the Hundred Bohma Tribes, they are joined by all ten previous Super Sentai teams which includes the Flashmen. As the Sentai fight, the narrator recalls Battle Fever's many battles which includes the final battle against Lah Deus.
Personality[]
Lah Deus is an extremely and utterly ruthless, tyrannical, power-hungry, megalomaniacal and the most importantly depraved individual. He lacks any genuine attachment or care towards anyone, even his own men and desires only absolute power and total universal domination. However, despite his ruthless, hegemonic and power-hungry nature, he is also highly charismatic and sophisticated trickster and schemer and can easily force and manipulate his underlings and multiple other individuals into trusting and serving him. Lah Deus is also a highly intelligent, calculating and clever individual; knowing how to easily manipulate his enemies into unknowingly helping him in his plans and unknowingly playing and participating in his devious schemes and plans.
Throughout the entire season, Lah Deus shows no redeeming qualities. No matter how generous and pleasant he shows himself to his underlings, promising them generous gifts and rewards fir serving him and helping him in his plans of becoming the ultimate and divine life-form of the universe, all of this is a lie and he never truly cares about any of his subordinates, only viewing them as his tools and pawns for his power and achievement of his goals. Lah Deus sincerely hates the Flashmen with all of his heart and views them as the primary enemies and threat to his goals. However, no matter how the evil alien emperor calls Flashmen a threat to his plans, he never really respects them, and is only afraid about them spoiling his evil plans. Lah Deus's treatment and respect to anyone comes not from the genuine respect, but just either annoyance or personal gain. Overall, Lah Deus is a ruthless, yet still intelligent and Machiavellian mastermind with great deception mastery.
