Sky Tate

Schuyler "Sky" Tate is a fictional character from the Power Rangers universe, appearing in the television series Power Rangers: SPD. He is a member of the Space Patrol Delta organization. He was portrayed by Chris Violette.

History and powers
Schuyler "Sky" Tate is the son of an S.P.D. legend. 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 losing 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 is what probably made Sky want to be a Power Ranger - to save people. 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 B-Squad, along with Bridge Carson and Sydney Drew. Cruger knew of the inevitable invasion of Emperor Gruumm, and so he granted the B-Squad Ranger Status. 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. Sky was upset about this and got into many arguments with Jack about what the teams should have done in battle. He eventually grew to accept Jack's leadership and even arrested his old friend Dru for attempting to assasinate Commander Cruger.

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 then lets Sky borrow his morpher to become the Red Ranger to bring Mirloc in a manner of respect to his father. Sky defeats Mirloc and contains him.

Sky eventually grows into more of a team player and realizes he needs his team as much as they need 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.

After Jack resigns from S.P.D., Cruger feels that Sky is ready to become Red Ranger, while Bridge takes over his former position as Blue Ranger.

Controversy
It has been stated that Sky is the son of a "legendary" Red Ranger. In the episode "Walls", we see a picture of a young Sky sitting next to a man in a Red Time Force Ranger uniform with an S.P.D. badge. Contrary to popular belief, the man in the picture is clearly not Wesley Collins, the Red Time Force Ranger of Power Rangers: Time Force. However, whether or not it was intended to be Wesley Collins portrayed by a different actor, or the identity of the individual otherwise, is not made clear. The episodes "Reflection Parts 1 & 2" did not share any additional into the identity of Sky's father, only that Mirloc was responsible for his death.
