History[]
He is first seen, reporting the weather, that ruined Ginger, and Angela's kiteboard race, while also confirming that it won't be sunny for a while, unintentionally giving Ben the idea to make a weather machine to combat the bad weather, and make it his newest break through invention.
A little while later, Ben goes to Ship's workplace, to both show his invention, and even impress Skip. This ends up working, as it successfully turns the bad weather, nice and sunny, which Skip eagerly reports. However, Skip both becomes very bored, and feeling forgotten due to how the world no longer needs a weatherman.
Skip then, sabotaged the machine to give it weird and out of control of the weather, (and as shown in the background picture, but not shown, is a angry cloud, and a hyperactive sun, meaning Skip also made incredibly dangerous variants as well).. This successfully defamed Ben, who is in the process is portrayed as an incompetent inventor, but Tom is suspicious, because Skip some how knows what the weather is, before it even strikes.
Tom, then confronts Skip, who initaly plays dumb, and claims to have sent the machine away. Tom however, notices the broken machine, and alongside Hank tries to fix it, while also exposing Skip on camera in the process. Enraged, Skip angrily smashed the weather machine, despite knowing what it could potentially cause. This ends up, causing a dangerous storm which takes things from all over the city, and destroying some stuff as well.
Tom and the gang, then try to stop Skip, and are even pushed out of the storm by Skip, until Ben arrives, and stops the storm, this ruining Skip's plan to let it cause as much anarky as possible for the sake of reporting, and to frame Ben for everything. Skip is the arrested, and put in prison, where he is still shown reporting the weather, possibly as an additional punishment for his actions.
