The Story of Skysurfer Strike Force

The adventure begins with a big explosion at a special lab that studies artificial intelligence. A scientist named Adam Hollister dies in the explosion, and everyone thinks he caused it. But his son, Jack, believes his dad is innocent and that someone else was responsible. Jack thinks a bad guy stole a super-smart computer brain from the lab.

This thief merges the stolen computer brain with his own, turning him into the supervillain known as Cybron! Cybron then creates a team of evil robots called bio-borgs to help him with his plans. To stop Cybron and his forces, Jack and his four best friends become the Skysurfer Strike Force, a team of sky-themed superheroes!

The Skysurfers

The Skysurfers are the heroes of the show. They are five regular people who use their special wristwatches, called Digitrans, to transform into their superhero forms:

• Jack Hollister (also known as Skysurfer 1): Jack is the leader of the team. He uses a special beam saber as his main weapon. He's very smart and good at solving problems.
• Micky Flannigan (also known as Skysurfer 2 - Crazy Stunts): Crazy Stunts is a cool and energetic guy. He uses two blaster pistols that can also shoot out whip-like wires.
• Kimberley "Kim" Sakai (also known as Skysurfer 3 - Sliced Ice): Sliced Ice uses a sword that can freeze things! She is also a scientist, which helps the team.
