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.
