Character History

Eddie was an enthusiastic cadet at Time Force Academy who was excited to meet Professor Scotts, asking her multiple questions about her time as a Ranger and her battles with Ransik. He was in awe after the attack on the Academy to see Jen morph into the Pink Time Force Ranger.

Receiving Zordon's call through the Morphin Grid, the six HyperForce Rangers were among those who rallied to his pocket dimension for the final stand against Lord Drakkon. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) Issue 29

Personality

Eddie is an easy going and enthusiastic cadet who idolizes the Power Rangers, showing a great amount of interest when Professor Scotts did a lecture at the Academy. He is very knowledgeable on history to an extent and uses that to help his team, such as knowing what Halloween is even though by 3016 that particular holiday is no longer celebrated, though in rare cases he gets certain facts wrong like believing that costumes worn on Trick or Treat were actual skins primitive people wore on top of their bodies. Eddie is a fan of old movies from historic periods, his personal favorite being movies of the 1990s.
