** He's actually ''worse'', because Lord Zedd still had some sense of humor to him that made him seem more FauxAffablyEvil. Not with this guy, AT ALL! He's one of the few villains that didn't have an ounce of comic relief in him, or a softer side like Ransik's love for his daughter. (He [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this]] in "Back In Black" after a captured Tommy fires off another badass snark: "There's that wit again. If I had a sense of humor, I might actually appreciate it.") Never once during the entirety of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'' does he show the slightest traces of compassion and humanity (barring a single occasion where his human half intervenes on behalf of his adopted son- whom Mesogog himself is about to kill), and when his subordinates fail him, he doesn't throw a tantrum, he doesn't scream about how much of a headache he has - oh no, he tortures them via MindRape.
