Zach Lee was transformed from a normal teenager into a superpowered being by a painful accident involving a matter transport beam and his alcholoic but brilliant step father. The accident destroyed the house killed Zach's entire family, his mother, step-father, and two sisters. Unable to cope with his own survival, Zach lashed out at the world. Hyperman, as he called himself, was a superpowered vandal. He destroyed property, attacked government installations, picked fights with superheroes; all in a subconscious effort to die. He was mostly successful at keeping innocents from coming to harm but a few injuries happened. When he was finally captured and put into Stronghold he had done over 2billion dollars in damage to various cities and installations.
Dr Price was surprisingly successful at getting through to him and he made rapid improvement in his rehabilitation. Of the six initial prospects, Challenger was least impressed with Hyperman, superpowered delinquents weren't his style, even the Quickling had shown more maturity. However, as Skyguard, he has managed to earn his leader's grudging respect through dedication and hard work.
Losing his family was tough on Lee. He blamed himself for surviving, his father for dying when he was young, his stepfather for not taking care of everyone, and the world for letting it happen. It didn't take long for him to realize that he wasn't getting anywhere with is super-powered fit of self destructive pique; but he didn't know where to go from there. The final confrontation between himself and superheroes ended with him in tears at the feet of Ironclad, not a punch thrown. He was ready to repay society. It is this feeling of responsibility that leads him to such great lengths as Skyguard. Lee will most definately stay with the team when his sentence is over (if they let him).
"We've all had it rough, let me help you."
A classic "flying brick", Skyguard hasn't developed the arsenal of Brick Tricks yet. He mainly flies and smashes his foes. Challenger is seeking to get him to apply his might more creatively.
Skyguard is a brick on the verge of being something more. If you want to limit his combat ability, simply reduce his Characteristics, that's all he really has at this point anyway. If you'd like to use a m ore evolved Skyguard, add some brick tricks to his arsenal. The Ultimate Brick would help here considerably.
