Honestly, I think horror movie monsters are a pretty cool concept for a villainous faction. And it's not like there haven't been similar characters in Sentai before.
Sod it. Been wanting to use a Sentai villain in something for a while now.
Name: Zangyack Broadcasting Network Executive Spandez, Lord of the Late-Night Timeslot, The Almighty Lord of Bloodsport
Appearance: Here. The form at his feet is his true form, a gigantic insectoid creature. He contorts his arms and wings to appear more humanoid, the wings folding to form his trademark suit.
Age: Yes.
Bio: Spandez is, in fact, older than the Zangyack empire. He might actually be the oldest living being in the cosmos, as he was born when the first sentient creature thought how awesome it would be to see two animals fighting. Spandez is the literal embodiment of bloodsport, from gladiatorial combat to violent sporting events. He spent a long time as a spacefaring conqueror, setting up gladiatorial arenas to amuse and feed himself. But he began to notice that a lot of other creatures would pay to get in… which led to profits, which led to faster expansion, which led to more spectacular arenas, which led to more power for himself.
One day, thousands of years later, an agent for the Zangyack Broadcasting Network came to him and explained the wonders of television to the Dark Lord of Bloodsport. The Zangyack could not only broadcast his gladiatorial matches to the universe, but harvest the energy created by those enjoying the battles. They even offered to provide more unique equipment and gladiators (be they insubordinate Gormin, a bored Action Commander, or a prisoner from another world), provided they got a cut of the advertising revenue. Spandez even got a free cable package, which led to him discovering a gameshow. His gladiatorial matches had many contestants, but very few were volunteers. It had many fans, and many viewers, but also many decrying the barbaric spectacle.
But gameshows… people were willing to do insane things for those prizes. They would humiliate themselves in public. They would take candy from children. They would leave people stranded on alien worlds with no food and water if the prize was great enough. And that's when Spandez hit upon the idea that all his gladiatorial matches needed was a fresh spin.
And thus he hit upon an idea. The Zangyack would offer prizes to his contestants. The contestants would sow chaos and discord on planets. If the contestants won and managed to conquer the planet, they'd get legal ownership of it and a choice between becoming a planetary governor or handing it over to the Zangyack for a hefty prize. If they lost, they'd often do enough damage to the planet's infrastructure through the gameshow's challenges to make conquering the planet much easier for the Zangyack forces.
This brilliant stroke elevated Spandez from a powerful warlord to chief executive of the Zangyack Empire's premier TV broadcasting network and a trusted enforcer of the emperor. However, due to one particularly stubborn planet, the emperor has requested his next conquest be centered on Earth.
Other: A monster game show host who uses his program to expand an interstellar empire by offering invaders fabulous prizes for performing typical Sentai monster antics to destabilize a planet's infrastructure.
Vehicle: Video Star, a combination spaceship and recording studio.

Honestly, is it so serious that she needs to change up her CS? It is a show aimed at children America, but Hydra didn't call it Super Megaforce or whatever, its called Gokaiger; albeit with some odd mixture of English translation and Japanese originality lol. I don't think its that big of a deal, most of our characters are old enough for it.
Did you seriously just say a show where people in brightly coloured costumes beat up people in rubber monster suits using plastic weapons is meant to be some super serious and gritty thing for adults?
Mobius looked confused when Bucky snatched the syrup away. He proceeded to do a low bow. He looked like a puppy who'd been caught next to a mess, really. This wasn't the first such incident either- he'd downed a bottle of soy sauce when Tiga was introducing him to Earth food. That had been kind of gross. But at least there was context for his mistake this time.
"My apologies, sir! But when we went through survival training on planet Buffalo, we were told that most aliens who consumed sap would either drink or chew it for sustenance!"
He suddenly stood, however, and saluted to Bucky.
"My name is Mobius, and I'm a Space Ranger with the Ultra Garrison! Are you the commanding officer?"

Lightyears away, a few weeks ago...
Several red and silver giants stood in a room, awash with golden light from a thousand stars outside. Eight of them stood at the walls, though two in particular stood opposite a holographic projection. The taller of them held his hand out as the hologram shifted to a blue planet.
"Mobius... behold. For this is Earth. Sol-3, watched over by our successors in the Green Lantern Corps and its own heroes..."
The shorter giant, barely reaching to the other's chest, looked over the hologram. "It's home to the... humans, right?"
"Precisely. Many other races call Earth home, though. By interacting with them... I believe you will find something invaluable."
"Something invaluable?"
"Something that anyone who carries the title of Ultraman must possess... Something only YOU can discover. Just like Tiga and the Ultra Brothers did long ago."
"Then... then I can learn what it means to be Ultraman." Looking at the other giants in the room, Mobius returned his gaze to the horned giant and saluted. "...With your permission, Father of Ultra, I'll be off!"
The Father of Ultra nodded and held out a small scepter, an Ultra Brace forming on Mobius's arm. "First, you should speak with the officer we have permanently stationed on Earth- Ultraman Tiga. He and his friends will help you settle in. Now... Go, Mobius! Go to this wondrous planet, and discover that which only you can learn! Discover what it really means... to be an Ultraman!"
Here and Now
Mobius wished someone had told him Earth would be this cold. Even with the flight jacket that Tiga and the rest of GUTS had given him, he was shivering. On top of the jacket, he was using a human form. And snow! Snow was a bad sign on Planet Ultra. It usually meant that a Margodon or something was getting close... but at least he was almost to the location Tiga gave him. He had two rather large duffel bags with him- clothes that woman who always hung out with Tiga gave him, and most of his stuff from his room at the Ultra Garrison. Well, shrunk down, but it was still his collection of monster encyclopedias, movies, and some gifts his friends had given him before he came to Earth. It even had one of Galaxy's favorite action figures in it.
He pushed open the door and looked around, still shivering. The inside... was an acceptable cold. It didn't make him fear for his life. And... there was that smell. Like someone was cooking with sap. He liked that smell. But for now, he was going to put his stuff down an- Well, for now the rumbling in his stomach said he was going to get some of that cooked sap. Most of what he'd eaten with Tiga involved curry, and while that WAS delicious, he figured it would be best to get used to a lot of earth cuisine. A lot of aliens ate tree sap, so this would probably prove a tasty delicacy. With that, Mobius entered the kitchen and looked at the bottle of syrup, picking it up and smelling it... before starting to drink straight from the bottle.

So Pit and Mega Man know each other right? From a point when Mega Man was having quirks with his vocal processor and Pit lost a bet.

I would laugh so hard if Ultraman kept bringing up Miraclean and no one else believed him until he shows up with Santa at the very end of the story.
"If the Joker gets his hands on a Miraclean crystal ball, there's no telling what he'll do! The holiday magic contained within is enough to freeze a Terrorestrial solid in a single strike!"
Oddly enough, the Ultra continuity has a jolly being that goes around during the winter to bring joy to good boys and girls.
Alien Miracle/The Miraclean, everyone!

That is just it, aside from child-heroes like Shazam, Captain Marvel, most heroes can't believe or interact with Santa's magic. But the insane like joker are just off enough to still believe and the highly magical still believe.
You say that, but...

Oh right um.Also if I remember right that was part of the reason why Clanjos decided to use an Ultraman. XD...
Only like 20% of it! I also really like Ultraman Mebius as a series. And maybe giggled at the idea of arm wrestling Ant Man for charity.
