[edit] Biography
As a child, Sky always looked up to his father, who was a former S.P.D. Red Ranger. From him, he acquired his father's power (as a result from an experimental accident) to create offensive and defensive force fields. Sky was at the hospital when his father was killed in the battle against a monster genius named Mirloc. The doctor presented Sky with his father's battle damaged helmet, which Sky kept as a momento to his father. Since then, he strived to be just like his father - a Red Ranger.
Sky joined S.P.D. and was top on B-Squad on weapons and fighting, along with his friend - an alien - named Drew. Being very strict to the rules, he was very neat and precise. Yet, with this attiude, he became arrogant and believed himself to be above anyone else that broke the rules when he himself did everything precisely to the book. He was usually the first one to be hard on teammate Bridge Carson's habits and ways of thinking, but Sky was always proven to be wrong in areas where Bridge was right. As time went on, Sky began to loosen up and enjoy the other things in life a bit more, though he always kept himself battle ready when called upon. Despite his attitude, his teammates thought highly of him, calling him the best Ranger.
[edit] As an S.P.D. Ranger
[edit] S.P.D. Blue Ranger
For someone who was first in his class, Sky made quite a few critical mistakes early on, including, without limitation, allowing a crate of diamonds to be confiscated by the Troobians (giving them a near limitless energy supply) and allowing Drew who turned-enemy into the Academy to attempt to assassinate Cruger. However, all was well in the end, and Sky usually got off the hook with just some simple chores as punishment.
When A-Squad went missing on a mission, Commander Cruger had Tate - along with B-Squad cadets Bridge and Sydney "Syd" Drew - step up as protectors of Earth. Unfortunately, Sky's pride got in the way and Cruger picked him to be the S.P.D. Blue Ranger and second-in-command. Sky was not happy about this, especially when he found out Jack Landors, a former thief Sky had tried to caputre, was made the Red Ranger (Landors' friend, Elizabeth "Z" Delgado, joined the squad as Yellow Ranger also). Sky challenged Landor's authority in the beginning, but eventually accepted him as his leader.
[edit] Face-off against Micloc
When the team faced off against Mirloc, the one responsible for the death of Sky's father, Jack thought Sky should be the one to bring him in as the Red Ranger and let him use his morpher. Although it was an honor to be the Red Ranger, Sky began to realize that heroes came in all colors. After going through extensive S.W.A.T. training on Zantor to aquire S.W.A.T. Mode, he discovered the importance of his team. With teamwork, they were able to even defeat the renegade A-Squad.
[edit] Promotion
When Jack left S.P.D. after Emperor Gruumm's defeat, Curger saw that Sky had grown into a great leader and had learned to accept his teamates as equals. He chose him to step up as the new S.P.D. Red Ranger; Bridge would step up to Sky's original position as Blue Ranger.
According to Bridge in the Power Rangers Operation Overdrive episode, Once A Ranger, Cruger was promoted the new S.P.D. Supreme Commander following "Birdie" Fowler's retirement. Sky was also promoted to his former position as the new S.P.D. commander; as Bridge was now Red Ranger, Sky also most likely became the new S.P.D. Shadow Ranger.
