Character History
Schuyler "Sky" Tate is the son of the Red Time Force Ranger(who may be connected to Wes Collins, if in case that it is not Wes himself probably a former member of the silver guardians who later joined SPD with the red time force powers that may have been given or passed on to him by Wes, or whether he is connected or related to wes or not, He may be a part of an SPD Squad whose suits are similar to the time force suits, since sky has a photo of his father wearing a time force suit minus the helmet which he only holds, or Sky and his father may be close or distant relatives of Wes Collins, since the Chrono Morphers can be activated by the DNA of a specific person, meaning the remaining 5 members of the squad that sky's father belonged to are also related to the remaining 5 time force rangers, with one being related to Eric Myers while the remaining four are ancestors of Lucas kendal, Jen Scotts, Trip and Kelsey Winslow, probably 20-21st century great grandfathers of Trip and Lucas, and great grandmothers of Jen and Kelsey, or the ranger suit used may just be based on the Time Force costume as SPD was most likely still in the early stages of development, meaning neither sky's father was related to wes collins nor are the other five members of that spd squad are not related to the other time force rangers, but may only be connected. Note also that Sky Never Mentioned about his father's Connection to a Power Ranger from a previous Season). His father apparently helped create the Delta Morphers and due to this his DNA was altered, passing on a special ability to create force-fields to Sky. When Sky was around 5 or 6, his father had distinguished himself as a great Power Ranger. One day, the senior Tate fought an intense battle, saving dozens of people, but lost his life to a criminal named Mirloc. Mirloc was later contained and sent to a special prison facility. The helmet belonging to Sky's dad was found and given to Sky after his father died(This Helmet Was Identical to the Red Time Force Ranger Helmet). This is what probably made Sky want to be a Power Ranger - to save people and be like the father he adored. After this he joined S.P.D., making friends with Dru, a Tangarian.
In the year 2025, he had distinguished himself as one of S.P.D. Earth's finest. He was on the , along with Bridge Carson and Sydney Drew. Anubis Cruger, the S.P.D. Earth commander, knew of the inevitable invasion of Emperor Gruumm, and so he granted the B-Squad Ranger Status. Sky was made the S.P.D. Blue Ranger and second-in-command, because he had said to Cruger when asked that he would not accept either Bridge or Syd as Red Ranger, thus showing he was not disciplined enough to follow orders, let alone give them. However, this was not explained to him, and he was extremely displeased with Cruger's decision. Their first task was to bring in Jack and Z. They succeeded, but Jack and Z joined the B-Squad instead of going to jail, with Cruger making Jack the Red Ranger and team leader. Sky was upset about this, which lead into many arguments with Jack about what the teams should have done in battle. Even though Jack and Sky didn't always agree, Sky grew to accept Jack's position as Red Ranger.
Sky's old friend Dru Harrington showed up to the academy one day. Sky and Dru had both a bracelet to symbolize their friendship. He had been missing for a year or so and was now under Broodwing's payroll. Though Sky didn't believe this, Jack sensed something was wrong. Dru had been sent to the Academy by Broodwing and Gruumm to assassinate Commander Cruger. Dru tried to kill Cruger, but he failed, which led to Sky learning the truth about him. Sky brought Dru in all by himself, and learned from Jack that a bracelet doesn't make a friendship.
Sky was responsible for Mirloc escaping from his specially made prison. Mirloc's ability to travel through reflective surfaces allowed him to escape, as he had managed to make Sky cry whilst Sky was telling the story of his father, and Mirloc took advantage of this moment by using Sky's tear to flee from his bondage. Jack lets Sky borrow his morpher to become the Red Ranger to bring in Mirloc out of respect to Sky's father telling Sky that he deserved to do it himself. Sky defeated Mirloc using the Battlizer, and contained him. He later told Jack that while being the Red Ranger was cool he had no problem with being the Blue Ranger anymore either.
Sky eventually grew into more of a team player and realized he needed his team as much as they needed him. He also learns that his relationship with his fellow Rangers isn't just professional but personal. By accepting his teammates, he earned the SWAT Mode along with the rest of his team.
While Jack was looking for Bridge after he had gone missing, Cruger told Sky to lead the Rangers. He did a fine job and even impressed Cruger by how much he had grown.
After Jack resigned from S.P.D., Cruger finally promoted Sky to S.P.D. Red Ranger, while Bridge took over his former position as Blue Ranger. (This time he said to Cruger that he would follow anyone that Cruger thought worthy of being Red Ranger into battle, showing that he had finally learned his lesson.)
It's later revealed that Cruger was promoted to Supreme Commander and Sky is now Commander of S.P.D. Earth. Bridge Carson has been made B-Squad's leader as the Red Ranger. It is unknown if he has also gained the powers of Shadow Ranger, or if Cruger is still holding onto them in his new rank and Sky acquired his own ranger powers.
