History
In 2001, Sam's parents, along with the parents of the B-Squad Rangers, worked with Kat Manx in developing the morphing technology used in the S.P.D. Morphers. However, these experiments had side effects that, while they did not affect Kat, they did affect the B-Squad parents, mutating their offspring and resulting in the B-Squad Power Rangers and Sam receiving their civilian superpowers. Though most of the offspring who were born to the participants in this project were adults by 2025, Sam was the youngest born and still a child at the time he is first seen. Sometime during his childhood, both of his parents died in a tragic accident.

For his civilian power, Sam developed the ability to teleport objects. His powers were misunderstood by other children, however, and he was ostracized. His desperate search for friends led him to be manipulated by Mora and her newest creation Bugglesworth, who turned people into dolls for Mora to collect. While the other Rangers were quick to judge Sam poorly, Z realized that Sam was not evil and just wanted to fit in. Although it took a lot of convincing, Sam eventually agreed to stay with his new friend and the other Rangers at the S.P.D. Academy (who gave him a bike) and told them that he will train to become a Power Ranger someday. 
TV STORY-Sam (episode)
Personality
In 2025, Sam is best described as an outsider, often feeling as if he does not have a role to play while also being bullied for his unusual ability to cloak any object he can focus on. For this reason, he walls himself off from other people and initially expresses disinterest in what others have to say. However, below the surface, Sam longs to fit in and be accepted as well as not to be seen as a freak. Mora is, however, able to exploit Sam's desperation and briefly use him to accomplish her ends. Z coming from a similar place in life seems to resonate with him and eventually breaks Mora's hold over him, allowing her to bring Sam to SPD for its junior cadet program. It is assumed that while Sam is a cadet, he develops a strong sense of justice and right over wrong that carries with him into adulthood and a career as an SPD officer.
Despite his time-displacement predicament, Sam is more light-hearted and a bit of a prankster among his teammates, yet committed to his duties as an officer and willing to assist those he finds in need.
