Spike Skullovitch is a character in Power Rangers Samurai. He lives with his "uncle" Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier. He is the son of Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch (who was Bulk's best friend back in the day) and the two see each other as brothers, which is probably why Spike refers to Bulk as "Uncle Bulk").

Family

- Mr. Skullovitch - Paternal grandfather
- Mrs. Skullovitch - Paternal grandmother
- Farkas Bulkmeier - Honorary uncle
Notes
- Bulk and Skull weren't brothers so either his mother is Bulk's sister, or he and Bulk aren't related but he still calls him "uncle" as a term of endearment.
- Shares three distinct traits with his father: his hair for one, his clumsy tendencies, and he also has a similar laugh to his father's. He also has a habit of laughing at Bulk whenever Bulk gets into an embarrassing situation, much like his father did. Bulk, however, doesn't hit Spike.
- He also has a crush on the Pink Samurai Ranger Mia, just like his father, who had a crush on Kimberly. However, unlike his dad, he likes the Pink Ranger.
- In the episode He Ain't Heavy Metal, He's My Brother, Spike notices Mia and says "She's pretty".
- It is clearly known that Spike doesn't know that Mia is the Pink Ranger.
- Theoretically for him to be the age he is in show (14 years old), he must have been born sometime during Power Rangers: Turbo, though it is possible that he was adopted and has taken to Skull's mannerisms without any biological relation.
- He's actually 9 years old, according to Paul Schrier[1].
