"Phenomenal! The Mantis DNA worked! I'm a Ranger."
―Nate when he became the Gold Ranger.[src]

Nathan "Nate" Silva is a genius prodigy, chief researcher and head technician of Grid Battleforce who developed Morph-X for use as a clean, sustainable energy source. He created the Grid Battleforce Rangers, later joining them as Grid Battleforce Gold Ranger, the Gold Ranger of the team. He is also the one who inadvertently turned Venjix into Evox.

History[]

Early Life[]

Young Nate sees a Cell Shift Morpher

Nate is a prodigy who joined Grid Battleforce at the age of six. When he was 10, he discovered a way to harness the Morphin Grid, allowing him to refine it into a substance called Morph-X, which would later be tried as a sustainable energy source. During this time, he experimented with past Ranger Morphers to find a new way to morph. Trying with Scott Truman's old Cell Shift Morpher by mixing Morph-X and snake DNA, Nate accidentally revived the dormant Venjix Virus in the new form of Evox, which hid inside the computer system; luckily only a small portion of Venjix escaped, leaving the new Evox too weak to manipulate technology (the snake DNA thankfully prevented Venjix from replicating its code to grow stronger). Nate remained unaware he had released the evil that nearly destroyed the RPM world. Tvicon TV STORY-Source Code

A New Ranger Team[]

Nate later helps Grid Battleforce create Grid Battleforce Power Rangers to protect the Morphin Grid. He developed the Morph-X powered arsenal they would use as well as a one-way transporter. He is forced to initialize the Ranger forms onto two people that were not candidates while Ravi was the candidate for becoming the Blue Ranger when Evox attempts to steal access to the Morphin Grid. Tvicon TV STORY-Beasts Unleashed

Becoming a Ranger[]

Before Nate was captured, he created two Morphers and two blade-like arsenals for Grid Battleforce Gold and Silver Rangers. Unfortunately Nate was later captured by Evox's Crew to finish the Cybergate and body for Evox.

Nate becomes the Gold Ranger.

While being captured he decided to repair a broken Wristcom to summon the Striker Morpher to foil Scrozzle's plan. He then shoots two transporters which sends Evox back to the Cyber Dimension. While in use, he used two Ranger DNA capsules to become a Ranger himself.  Fortunately he succeeded by becoming the Gold Ranger while Steel's body became complete and fully functional, carrying Nate's DNA and enabling him to become the Silver Ranger.

Evox's Reveal[]

NateEvoxReveal

Nate finds the truth.

When Evox gets captured, Nate modifies the Ultra Blaster to scramble his data until he is dispersed forever. The plan works at first, but before Nate can finish him off, Evox hacks into the forcefield's computer console, escaping and re-materializing in the command room where he extracts the Morph-X Tower's access codes from the computers, the Rangers then follow him to the Ranger Vault in Nate's lab, Evox retrieves the briefcase containing the Ranger Operator Series Morphers and absorbs the data inside Scott Truman's Cell Shift Morpher. Nate attempts to blast him again, but the Ultra Blaster has no effect this time, as Evox rebuilds himself completely.

The virus taunts Nate, saying that he should already know who he truly is. Evox reveals his true origin as Venjix to the Rangers right before blasting them while he escapes. The Rangers then confront the virus outside of Grid Battleforce, but Evox, now wielding the full might of the Venjix Virus, resurrects four Robotrons in front of the team. Evox then fires a blast that de-morphs Nate. Evox teleports away after mockingly telling Nate that he'll go down in history as the boy genius responsible for ending human civilization.

After the big revelation Nate feels incredibly guilty over releasing the Venjix Virus into the world, but is able to work on a solution with Doctor K, whom with he's able to share his pain as both of them made a similar mistake, they both work on an experimental anti-Evox arrow that the team later uses on Robo-Blaze, destroying him for good. Tvicon TV STORY-Source Code

Ending Venjix[]

When Venjix activates all the Morph-X Towers around the world to have the world at his mercy, Nate finishes a second anti-virus arrow and has Ben load it into the Beast-X King Ultra Bow. Nate and the other Rangers then find Venjix on his way to Tower One, Nate declares that they will destroy him before morphing and transporting some old Legendary Ranger Weapons from the Vault as Venjix never hacked into them.

PRBM-Dino Saber

Nate uses the Dino Saber to fight Venjix.

Nate uses a Dino Saber to strike up close along with his brother's Cloud Hatchet. Venjix revives some old Robotrons to distract the Rangers while he goes to the core of the Morph-X Tower, Steel then takes the anti-virus arrow and follows Venjix as Nate and the others are distracted during the fight. Nate and the others eventually catch up to Venjix and Steel who are now on the stream of Morph-X, while Steel stabs Venjix with the arrow, this doesn't do anything to him as it merely dissipates into energy, Venjix then proceeds to strike and destroys Steel with his Heat Rays, much to Nate's horror and despair. After Venjix blasts the other Rangers out of the Tower, Nate wants to go back and stop Venjix, but Devon tells him that they must regroup back at Grid Battleforce.

As Venjix plans to eradicate humanity in a form of a gigantic robot, the Rangers confront him with the Beast-X King Ultrazord, but they were pinned down by Venjix's Laser Vision. Nate realizes during the fight that Venjix has been vulnerable to human DNA all along, recalling how he could not possess Steel due to his half-human DNA structure, and how possessing Mayor Daniels left him weak after prolonged exposure. Nate enters the Beast-X King Zord’s cockpit and begins to reroute the energy circuitry in order to allow Morph-X flowing through their bodies so that they could forcibly infuse their human DNA into Venjix. Nate manages to reroute all power from the Wrecker and Jet Zords to boost their powers, forcing them to reconfigure into the Beast-X King Megazord.

Nate&DevonAfterVenjixDefeat

After being powered with Morph-X, the Rangers launch the Megazord towards Venjix and stab him with the Saber as the human DNA corrupts Venjix’s system, and with too much to handle, he explodes, finally ridding the universe of the evil virus once and for all. When the battle is finally over, the Rangers see all the Morph-X return to the Morphin Grid when Zoey sees something in the distance. The Rangers see that the Morphin Grid not only revived Steel, but it also made him a full-fledged human as Nate and the other Rangers embrace in a hug.

One year after the final battle, Nate and Zoey help Mayor Daniels promote Coral Harbor’s new renewable energy program now that the Morph-X System is gone, the Rangers then call Steel so they can celebrate his first birthday as a human at Grid Battleforce. Tvicon TV STORY-Evox Unleashed

Once And Always Captured Rangers

Nate among the group of Rangers captured by Rita

Following the return of Rita Repulsa in a new robotic body, Nate was among the Rangers that responded to the Bandora Protocol issued by the Mighty Morphin team after groups of Putties started appearing all over the world. Nate was later ensnared and captured by Snizzard and used to power Robo-Rita's time portal alongside several other Rangers, including his teammates Devon and Ravi. Once the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers destroyed Snizzard, Nate and the other Rangers were released and brought to the S.P.A.'s med-bay for recovery before traveling to Aquitar, where the Aquitians would fix him up. Tvicon TV STORY-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always

Personality[]

A genius, Nate is a quick thinker in situations that require it, but also has a kind and friendly side to him. Being a single child, Nate always wanted an elder brother and sees Steel as a brother-figure. Nate also has feelings for Zoey, sending her Valentine's flowers secretly. Despite loving all living creatures, he suffers from arachnophobia, a fear of spiders. He has a liking for science fiction and doesn't know how to play most sports.

Morph-X Key[]

NateMorphXKey

Grid Battleforce Gold Ranger Morph-X Key

The Gold Morph-X Key allows the user transform into Grid Battleforce Gold Ranger form through the use of the Beast-X Morpher. This Morph-X Key is only exclusive by Hasbro toyline.

Notes[]

  • Despite his Sentai counterpart being designed after a rhino beetle, Nate derives his powers from the DNA of a mantis. The change occurred as the rhino beetle is not as familiar to a Western audience.
    • Nate is the first Ranger to be based on a mantis. The first Sentai Ranger with a deliberate mantis theme, however, would be Kamakiri Ohger of Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, almost 4 years after Nate's debut.

Appearances[]

Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid[]

Nate appears in the board game Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid as a playable character in the expansion "Shadow of Venjix Theme Pack".
