Mean Screen is a computer-themed monster with a bird-like face and the primary antagonist of the episode of the same name.

History

As an idea "given" by Prince Sprocket after witnessing the Yellow Ranger almost getting a virus on her computer, King Mondo has decided to unleash a computer monster called Mean Screen. This monster was capable of absorbing the information on all of the Power Rangers' weapons and even the Zeo Zords. He first goes to the Computer Lab with Klank and successfully absorbs the information about the Zeo Zords out of a computer, much to Klank's surprise.

After causing everything to go haywire, the Red and Yellow Ranger appear, and Mean Screen attacked them. He had the upper hand and then the Green, Blue, and Pink Rangers appeared. He copied their Zeo Laser Pistals, and was able to deflect them. He then ambushed the Rangers with his lightning and their own lasers, forcing the Rangers to flee to the Power Chamber. The Rangers tried to fight back, but he was too powerful and used his Computer Bombs to send the Rangers out of a building.

The Rangers attempted to use the Zeo Blaster. It too had no effect, and with no other option left, Zordon sent the Ranger the Defender Wheel which had been isolated from the rest of the Power Chamber grid. Mean Screen attempted to give it a virus, but much to his surprise, it did not work and he was then destroyed by the Defender Wheel, only for the dead Mean Screen to be a copy.

Mean Screen was then enlarged by Orbus. With the Zeo Megazord low on power from the virus, however, the Rangers felt that they were in trouble, but thanks to the Green Ranger's friend Raymond, they were able to neutralize Mean Screen's virus and restore the Zeo Megazord to full operating status. This allowed the Rangers to summon the Zeo Zords and form the Zeo Megazord to battle Mean Screen. He had the upper hand with his Computer Cords, but the Ranger were able to reverse the lightning back at him. They then used the Zeo Battle Helmets III and IV on the monster, destroying his screen and rendering him powerless. Mean Screen is then destroyed once and for all by the Zeo Megazord saber slash.
