Polydactyly

I haven't seen the episodes in full yet, but am aware there are several references to Skylar having this abnormality.

Since I was uncertain if it was canon in Mighty Med, I looked up an episode where Skylar takes her boots off to check for certain. She doesn't have the abnormality referenced in this scene.

So why did Skylar get this condition in Elite Force?

My initial impression is they were looking for a way to keep bringing up Skylar's Calderan origins, so they thought making her a bit more "alien" and then referencing it would be the method to use.

But it doesn't really make sense, not for a genetically engineered lifeform such as Skylar. A genetic abnormality such as this would be the first thing to be removed, as it makes someone "imperfect". Since Calderans are aware that other planets exist and that they may need to send their people to those planets, you'd make sure there were no obvious differences externally, to avoid someone figuring out you weren't from that planet.
