2647. Schuyler "Sky" Tate as S.P.D. Blue Ranger


Schuyler "Sky" Tate, S.P.D. Blue Ranger I/S.P.D. Red Ranger II

Schuyler "Sky" Tate (portrayed by Chris Violette) is the S.P.D. Blue Ranger and second-in-command who was originally a stickler for rules. Sky is top on B-Squad on weapons and fighting, and believes he should be the Red Ranger just like his father was. Unfortunately, his pride gets in the way and Commander Cruger picks him to be the Blue Ranger.
When Sky faces off against Mirloc, the one responsible for the death of his father, Jack thinks Sky should be the one to bring him in as the Red Ranger. Although it was an honor to be the Red Ranger, Sky realized that heroes come in all colors. After going through extensive S.W.A.T. training on Zantor to acquire S.W.A.T. Mode, he discovers the importance of his team. With teamwork, they are able to even defeat the renegade A-Squad.
With Jack leaving S.P.D., Sky has grown into a great leader and has learned to accept his teammates as equals. Cruger chooses him to step up as the new Red Ranger.
While unmorphed, his genetic power allows him to create force fields.
His assigned S.P.D. number is 2; he is later promoted to 1 after Jack resigns. When Cruger becomes Supreme Commander, Sky replaces Cruger and is promoted to Commander. This may also mean Sky is the new Shadow Ranger, which would make his number 100.
His father's identity is never revealed but it is most likely Wes Collins from Time Force, as seen in episodes: Reflection Part 1 & 2, who's descendant in the year 3000 was named Alex Tate. This could be proven by the fact that when Sky looks at a photo of his father he is wearing a Time Force ranger uniform...however the person looks much older than Wes did so it is clearly a different actor, but could still be the same character, or a different person who may have similar powers, or part of an SPD squad that uses suits similar to the Time Force suits. It is shown in the episode "Sam Part 2" that all of the members on B squad had a parent that worked at S.P.D before they were born. They experienced a chemical reaction thus causing the B squad members to be born with their genetic abilities. They worked at S.P.D in 2001 the same year in which Power Rangers Time Force took place. Wes remained in the year 2001 while the other time force rangers traveled back to the year 3000. It could very well be possible that wes is sky's father. However disney revealed that this occurrence was just a reuse of old costumes and was not meant to imply a relationship between Sky and Wes. However, fans still debate this for continuity purposes.
