| ~ Dr. Adler/Master Org revealing that he murdered Cole's parents. |
Dr. Viktor Adler, later known as Master Org, is the main antagonist of Power Rangers Wild Force.
He was the leader of the Orgs, the host of Master Org, the murderer of Richard and Elizabeth Evans, the one responsible for the re-emergence of the Orgs and the arch-nemesis of Cole Evans.
He was portrayed by Ilia Volok who also played Vlad in PAYDAY 2.
Biography[]
Past[]
Dr. Viktor Adler was originally a colleague and friend of Richard and Elizabeth Evans as part of a three-person team that wanted to find the Animarium. Over time, Viktor developed feelings for Elizabeth and was going to ask her out just to find that Richard had unfairly proposed to her which broke his heart although he played it off. His resentment only grew after Richard became so famous that the scientist felt like he was living in his own students' shadows.
The three eventually went on an expedition to the Amazon and discovered the remnants of the Ancient Master Org in the form of seeds. Driven by jealousy, Adler ate the seeds and gained Master Org's powers in process. With his newfound dark powers, Adler chased Richard and Elizabeth and murdered them in cold blood. He also intended to kill their baby, Cole, to complete his vengeance, but was unable to find him: Just as he murdered Richard, Elizabeth managed to send Cole far enough so her son would eventually beyond Adler's reach and later, found by natives who later raised him.
Wild Force[]
Adler later assumes the identity of Master Org and continues his mission of wiping out humanity and taking over Earth by recruiting newly arisen Org spirits to battle the Rangers. He is aided by the Duke Orgs Toxica and Jindrax until they uncover his true identity by seeing him remove the helmet he wears with a full horn. Adler then turns them into temporary slaves and equips them with new powers but the brainwashing is ultimately undone when they are defeated by Cole's Animarium Armour.
With no Orgs left to serve him, Adler takes it upon himself to fight them where he reveals his involvement with the Orgs as their false leader. He is taken to a hospital where Cole and the Rangers pay a visit but he ambushes the team, trapping them in vines and taking them to an abandoned lab. Adler tells Cole about the history between him and his parents prior to becoming Master Org's imposter just before the two battle it out. Cole emerges victorious, leaving Adler defeated and powerless. As Adler drags himself to the desert, he comes across Jindrax, Toxica, and their new leader Mandilok. With Adler powerless, Mandilok throws Adler off of a cliff to his death though not before the human swears revenge.
Legacy[]
However, Dr. Adler's evil actions gave the Ancient Master Org another chance to live again by using his corpse as a vessel. He later performed a ritual to gain a more powerful form only for him to be defeated by the Rangers once and for all. After the demise of Master Org, Dr. Adler could finally rest in peace, his corrupt life and suffering over. Later, Cole visited Adler's grave and presented some flowers in front of his tombstone, showing that he had forgiven Dr. Adler and moved on.
Personality[]
| “ | Haven't you learned anything? All that time you spent pursuing revenge, it only poisoned you. I won't take that path. | „ |
| ~ Cole taking the high-ground after Adler lost his powers. |
Adler was once a kind man who has a good relationship Richard and Elizabeth Evan. Throughout their search for Animaria, he developed feelings for Elizabeth. Unfortunately, the friendships between the three gradually fell apart to the point of no return after losing his chance of marrying Elizabeth because of Richard and having his spotlight being taken over by both of them, he becomes ruthless, cruel, petty, and insane, driven by envy, paranoia, and hatred. This ultimately drove him consuming their newfound Ancient Master Org's remnants, giving him the Org's powers which he then tested by murdering his friends with it (though he failed to do the same on their son) and became a sadistic and egotistical monster.
As the Second Master Org, Adler presented himself as calm and respectful to his allies, but he didn't care about anyone but himself, and was freely willing to sacrifice them with no regrets. He is also unapologetic, remorseless and unsympathetic, as he gloats to Cole that he murdered his parents in cold blood and enjoyed every single minute of it. These negative traits of Adler, both before and after becoming the Second Master Org, was arguably not only what allowed the ancient one to reincarnate himself through Adler's body following his death at the hands of Mandilok, but also somewhat influence his host's revenge at said Orgs.

Trivia[]
- Viktor Adler is regarded as one of the darkest Power Rangers villains. Having no sense of humor, murdering the Red Ranger's parents in cold blood on-screen, even trying to kill baby Cole. It's explicitly shown that his descent into villainy began before his transformation into Master Org and his personality wasn't shown to change, meaning it was the human Viktor Adler who became a vicious murderer with jealousy as his initial motive, using the powers of Master Org to do so. What makes Adler stand out from other similarly dark villains is that instead of an alien or some other non-human species, Adler is a genuine human, making him the vilest of the species in the entirety of Power Rangers, especially since unlike other human antagonists, he never reforms in any of his screentime.
- Viktor's nationality was never stated but his surname means "eagle" in German (ironically Taylor's Wildzord). His actor is Ukrainian.
- While it appeared Richard and Elizabeth were truly accountable for his descent into villainy, Viktor Adler was ultimately the one who brought the very predicament that saw him becoming the imposter and later future vessel of the Ancient Master Org upon himself:
- He didn't seem to close to Richard and Elizabeth as much as they did to him. To elaborate, Adler's efforts to show his feelings for the latter (if any) left much to be desired since he based it on the assumption that she would feel the same, thus she couldn't know he had any romantic feelings toward her, nor would Richard. To make matter worse, he didn't bother to explain to them how he felt despite having opportunities to do so and assumed the worst.
- Contrary to what he described to their son Cole, Richard and Elizabeth cared about Adler as a close friend and comrade and didn't intentionally shun him at any point, let alone steal his fame. In fact, Adler was even the first person, Elizabeth told about her engagement and she hugged him after revealing it. When at a news conference, Richard urged Viktor Adler to take the floor, only for the reporter to state he simply wanted to talk to Richard and Elizabeth instead, to their disappointment.
- Had Adler opened up to the two just enough to confide his issues to them before it was too late, he would likely have had easier time in moving on from the heartbreak and wouldn't become both the imposter and eventual vessel of the revived Ancient Master Org. Richard and Elizabeth in turn, would made better efforts in ensuring him attaining his well-deserved recognition for his part in their search for Animaria.
