"Ay-yi-yi, this place is a disaster!" Actually, this article/section is in need of clean-up. You can help us out by editing it! Reason: Missing significant character history. |
This article is about a ranger in Power Rangers Beast Morphers. |
- "Phenomenal! The Mantis DNA worked! I'm a Ranger."
- ―Nate when he became a Ranger[src]
Nathan "Nate" Silva is a genius prodigy, chief researcher and head of technology of Grid Battleforce who developed Morph-X for use as a clean, sustainable energy source. He created the Beast Morphers Rangers, later joining them as Beast Morphers Gold, the Gold Ranger of the team. He is also the creator of Evox.
Retroactively he can be referred to as Gold Beast Morphers Ranger or Beast Morphers Gold Ranger - as a variation of his label in the show.
Character History
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 discovered the Venjix Virus inside a Cell Shift Morpher and accidentally fuses it with snake DNA, inadvertently reviving the dormant virus as Evox. TV STORY-Source Code
Knowing that the virus itself already posed a threat to another world, Nate helps Grid Battleforce create Beast Morphers Power Rangers to protect the energy project. 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. TV STORY-Beasts Unleashed
Before Nate was captured, he created two Morphers and two blade-like arsenals for Beast Morphers Gold and Silver Rangers. Unfortunately Nate was later captured by Evox's Crew to finish the cybergate and body for Evox. 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 Beast Morphers Gold while Steel's body became complete and fully functional, carrying Nate's DNA and enabling him to become Beast Morphers Silver. TV STORY-The Cybergate Opens

Personality

He has a liking for science fiction and doesn't know how to play most sports.
Beast Morphers Gold

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
- Nate is portrayed by Abraham Rodriguez, as a child, played by Daniel Martin .
Notes
- Nate is a young prodigy, similar to Doctor K of RPM and Justin Stewart of Turbo.
- He ultimately both emulates Dr K's mistake while perpetuating it. Nate ends up accidentally releasing and altering the Venjix Virus, bringing it back as Evox.
- He's an only child, and his parents work overseas, hence, he rarely sees them. He sees his parents for the first time in a long time in Golden Opportunity. His parents are also the only ones who never learn his or the other Rangers' identities.
- Despite his Sentai counterpart being designed after a rhino beetle, Nate derives his powers from the DNA of a mantis. This is because Hasbro thought it was more kid-friendly. It might also possibly a localization change as rhino beetles aren't common in the United States.
- Nate is the first Ranger to be based on a mantis.
- In Ninja Storm, Hunter's Rhino Beetle motif was also localized. His Zord was the Insectizord while Blake's was the Beetlezord.
- Like Zack Taylor (the first Mighty Morphin Black Ranger), Shane Clarke (the Red Wind Ranger) and Kapri (from Ninja Storm), Lily Chilman (the Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger) and Jayden Shiba (the Red Samurai Ranger), he is arachnophobic (a fear of spiders).
- Nate shares the title of the Sixth Ranger together with Steel. The last time two Rangers shared this title at the same time in RPM, where interestingly, Gem and Gemma also were Gold and Silver Ranger duo.
- Additionally, in both RPM and Beast Morphers:
- the Silver Ranger gets a jet.
- The Gold and Silver Rangers have a different motif than the rest of their respective teams.(Nate and Steel share a beetle motif while Gem and Gemma have an aircraft motif).
- Both Gold and Silver Rangers are related to each other. (Gem and Gemma are twins, Nate and Steel are brothers)
- Additionally, in both RPM and Beast Morphers:
- Nate is the youngest Gold Ranger at the moment of receiving Ranger powers.
- Nate is the second Sixth Ranger after Cameron Watanabe to appear in the first episode of his respective series and gain his powers later on in the show.
- He and Steel aren't numerically 6th Rangers, instead are 4 and 5. This previously happened with Trent in Dino Thunder (5), Sam in S.P.D. (7), and Daggeron in Mystic Force (7).
- Nate Silva's name is likely a pun on Nate Silver, an American statistician.
- Nate and Steel are similar to Hunter and Blake from Power Rangers Ninja Storm in two ways.
- They are insect-themed.
- They are shown to be close brothers and always having each others' backs.
