Character Bio
Nate Silva is the son of two scientists that inherited their intelligence, becoming a child prodigy. He is recruited and raised by Grid Battleforce at a young age, being able to hack into the Morphin’ Grid and create an alternative fuel known as Morph-X, which he uses to develop the powers and technology of the Beast Morphers Rangers. Unbeknownst to him, he also releases a fragment of the Venjix Virus while experimenting on the Cell Shift Morpher, turning it into Evox. Nate Silva lived a very lonely and sheltered childhood, having the desire to have a brother and is under constant watch of Grid Battleforce, with Commander Shaw requiring him to have a chaperone whenever he left Grid Battleforce Headquarters. This inspires Nate Silva to create his own powers, using Mantis DNA in conjunction with Evox’s Cybergate to become the Gold Beast Morphers Ranger. He also creates a brother in the process, a half human/half robot named Steel. During Valentines Day, it is revealed that Nate Silva has a crush on Zoey Reeves, the Yellow Beast Morphers Ranger, keeping it secret until he learns she also has a crush on him but are forced to keep these feeling secret due to a rule enacted by Grid Battleforce. That is until Commander Shaw resends the rule, letting the two date each other. After he and his teammates destroy Evox, he starts developing clean alternative energy sources with Zoey Reeves.
