Divatox is played by Hilary Shepard, and fans will get to meet her at Colorado Springs Comic Con. Because she travels, seeing Shepard at the airport is not an unusual occurrence. Seeing her with her Divatox mask on before boarding a flight though? Yep, that is picture worthy.
Shepard recently shared a pic of just that! She posted it with the caption “On my way to @cscomiccon ! It’s like people have never seen an Evil Queen before! Take a selfie it lasts longer! #divatox #powerrangers.”

Fans will know Divatox from her time as the main villain in Power Rangers: Turbo, both in the movie and the following series. She’s the queen of a lethal band of alien pirates that searches the universe for planets to rob. During the years of Turbo, that greedy focus was on Earth, and she would attempt to destroy the Power Rangers on her way to collecting what the planet had to offer.

In addition to her minions, Divatox had the power of teleportation and could shoot energy beams. She also had a lizard-esque tounge that she used several times during the show.
The character is known for her rather revealing outfit in Power Rangers: Turbo the movie, but it was toned down for the series. The character also changed a bit depending on who was playing her. Divatox was played by Shepard in the movie, but she had to take maternity leave as the series started. Carol Hoyt, who plays Dimitria on the show, was put in the Divatox role for the first 25 episodes of Turbo. Shepard would return to the show in “The Darkest Day” episode and would reprise the role once more in Power Rangers: In Space for the first five episodes.
You can meet her in person along with other Power Rangers guests like Catherine Sutherland, Johnny Yong Bosch, Michael Copon, and more at Colorado Springs Comic Con, which takes place from August 25th to the 27th. You can find out more information about the con here.
