- space pirate mother to Divatox

Divatox wouldn't let
her henchmen celebrate birthdays since
she'd never gotten so much as a card or a gift; she then said, almost
weeping, "Nobody cares about me. I don't even have a family."
Elgar reminded Divatox she had him, but she said that was
precisely the problem: all she had was "a mutant, malfunctioning nephew
with the brain of a sea urchin."

Divatox's mother, whom
Divatox would call "Mama D," appeared in a
purple-edged image in Divatox's bedroom on the
subcraft while Divatox was sleeping.
Mama D wore what appeared to be a black and
purple version of Divatox's cape and collar.
Mama D had writhing snakes for hair.
Mama D wore a necklace identical to Divatox's.
Mama D told Divatox,
"Listen carefully and hear me now, my decadent [i.e. self-indulgent],
diabolical daughter."; Divatox happily stirred
in her sleep, replying that she was listening.
Mama D said that their family name had always
been legendary among the other pirates in deepest space and that they had ruled supreme, until Divatox came along, whom they thought of as a
wimp rather than a witch.
Still apparently in her sleep, Divatox impatiently asked for Mama D's motherly
advice; even though Divatox never listened to
her, Mama D told her to get rid of the Power
Rangers (or "Power Punks," as Mama D called them), or she'd be
piecing together scraps back at the pirate eyepatch factory; when
pressed for more, Mama D told her to remove the leader, and the rest
would fall.

After Divatox had hung
Tommy from his hands in a cave, Mama D arrived pleased with Divatox's success, and when Divatox told her she was trying decide the best
way to torture him, Mama D suggested the Vortex of Eternal Doom and
Sorrow, as it wasn't "in use right now."
Divatox had Mama D call
up the vortex.
Mama D's incantation to open the vortex was: "Suffer me closer
to that smallest cry. No mercy waits for those who step foot inside.
Vortex of Sorrow! Vortex of Doom! Up here now,
in this very room!"
Hearing the eerie voices moaning from within the
vortex, Divatox shuddered and said she thought she
recognized Pop's voice in there; Mama D replied matter-of-factly, "He
asked for it," and then left.
After Tommy had been
freed by T.J. and Cassie
and the Rangers had destroyed Flamite, Divatox lay on her bed, seeming exasperated to
begin with.
Mama D told Divatox
she'd messed up again, as Tommy still lived; Divatox protested that it couldn't be, but Mama D
told Divatox that ever since she'd been a little kid, she'd always
messed things up.
"Mama D."
