Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

Premise

Characters

Star Command

Team Lightyear

• Buzz Lightyear is a famed Space Ranger and the leader of Team Lightyear. Buzz often suggests that his archenemy Emperor Zurg is behind every evil plot and is often proven correct. Like his Toy Story incarnation, Buzz is idealistic and a stickler for procedure, but will tell a cover story if he needs to. However, he has few people skills, and at times displays a lack of common sense.
• Mira Nova is a rookie ranger and heir to the throne of the planet Tangea who possesses intangibility and telepathy. She acts as Buzz's co-pilot and second-in-command. Mira also has an estranged relationship with her father, King Nova, who disapproves of her choice of being a Space Ranger, though she still cares about him.
• Booster Sinclair Munchapper is a frog/dinosaur-like alien from the agricultural planet of Jo-ad. He has a big appetite and incredible strength, but is sweet and occasionally naive. He is in awe of Buzz Lightyear and has encyclopedic knowledge of his prior adventures.
• XR: Xperimental Ranger is a small robot who was originally emotionless and programmed to learn from Buzz, but was destroyed by Agent Z during his first mission. The LGMs rebuilt him with a slicker, more emotional personality and a variety of unique and unusual attachments. XR is destroyed on nearly every mission he goes on, but is easily rebuilt. He considers Commander Nebula his father due to him unintentionally signing the paperwork authorizing his creation and is always seeking his approval, much to his annoyance.

  Other personnel

• Commander Nebula is the Space Rangers' commander and Buzz's superior, whose left leg was replaced by a pegleg-like plasma cannon. He is rather short-tempered and constantly speaks with a loud voice.
• LGMs, or Little Green Men are small, three-eyed aliens who maintain the technology and equipment of Star Command.
• Ty Parsec is an old comrade of Buzz Lightyear, who is fed up with Buzz always coming to his rescue. In the episodes "Wirewolf" and "Revenge of the Monsters", Parsec is temporarily transformed into the Wirewolf, a robotic werewolf, after being bitten by NOS-4-A2 and exposed to radioactive rock from the moon Canis Lunis.
• Rocket Crocket is a member of Star Command and leader of Team Rocket. He has been Buzz's rival since their academy days.
• Fop Doppler is a Tangean like Mira. He initially joins the Rangers as a challenge to win her hand in marriage.
• Petra Hammerhold is Senator Hammerhold's daughter. She joins Star Command when her father forces her to do so, largely to keep her from her boyfriend Plasma Boy. She was initially resentful of this, but was moved by Buzz's heroism during a crisis.
• Plasma Boy is Petra's boyfriend, who can transform into a plasma monster. Booster competed against him for Petra's affection. Mira and XR inadvertently destabilize Plasma Boy's body, but stabilize him and prevent him from exploding, after which he joins Star Command.
• 42 is Buzz Lightyear's ship. In her self-titled episode, 42 gains a sentient artificial intelligence that is later transferred into a robotic body.

  Villains

Main villains

• Emperor Zurg : The main antagonist of the series and Buzz's archenemy. Rules an empire on Planet Z and wants to rule the entire universe while destroying Star Command. His feet double as rockets and he can transform his arms into a variety of weapons.
• * The Grubs are Zurg's equivalents to the LGMs of Star Command, though far less competent. They perform mechanical and technical duties. The Grubs work for Zurg against their will and desire freedom, but many of them are too afraid to try to defect.
• * Brain Pods are brains in mobile jars, who serve Zurg as scientists and researchers. Although they take pride in their creations, they secretly harbor a desire to escape from Zurg's control.
• * The Hornets are Zurg's robotic foot soldiers. They are incompetent and easily destroyed. Hornets come in different models, but the most frequently seen are yellow and of average height.
• Warp Darkmatter is a former member of Star Command who worked as a double agent for Zurg and eventually began working for him full-time as Agent Z. Darkmatter previously lost his right arm in a cave-in and gained a robotic arm with various weapon attachments after becoming Agent Z.
• Torque is an alien with four arms and five eyes who has committed various crimes, including terrorism, smuggling, arson, and unpaid parking tickets. He possesses a mechanical cell-separation chest implant created by Zurg that enables him to clone himself.

• is a robotic vampire created by Zurg who can drain electricity and control any machine he bites. In the episode "Revenge of the Monsters", NOS-4-A2 attempts to transform everyone in the galaxy into robots for him to feed on, but is defeated and destroyed. His name is a parody of Nosferatu.
• Evil Buzz Lightyear is an evil counterpart of Buzz Lightyear from an alternate universe where he is an evil emperor instead of Zurg.

  Recurring villains

• Chlorm Scientists - Era, Eon, and Epoch are Chlorm scientists. They implanted devices into Buzz and Warp Darkmatter during their academy days to study the residents of the galaxy. After Warp first began working for Zurg, at Epoch's suggestion, their study shifted to the differences between good and evil and which was better. Eon preferred the former and Era the latter. After learning of the implants, Buzz and Warp broke into their lab and prematurely ended their study. They were subsequently demoted to zoo and research facilities. They began kidnapping Galactic Alliance senators off Capital Planet for the zoo, seeing other races as lesser, wild animals, but Team Lightyear thwarted them.
• Crumford Lorak is a con man, informant, and criminal commonly seen on Trade World. Crumford is in fact one of the Space Rangers best and worst assets when it came to gathering info on major bad guys. The only time when Crumford went big-time was when he impersonated Senator Banda of Bathyos to give information of the Galactic Alliance to Varg.
• Gargantian Militants are tiny beings who hide in robotic exosuits to infiltrate what they desire. The Gargantian Militants hate commercial places on their planets as well as the fact that their people joined the Galactic Alliance, preventing war. As a joke, most Gargantian names are an ironic pun to their small stature.
• * Tremendor is the leader of the Gargantian Militants.
• * Monumentus is the second-in-command of the Gargantian Militants.
• * Immensitor is a member of the Gargantian Militants.
• * Behemor is a member of the Gargantian Militants.

• Lardak Lurdak is a small-time criminal in a dome helmet.
• Norbert Q. Klerm - The rich and ruthless head of the business company "Compu-klerm." He is friends with the Madame President. He first appeared to make Buzz Lightyear and Zurg fight each other. He later brainwashed Buzz into thinking he is a Compu-klerm employee named "Flip Faxtoner". His plans were ultimately thwarted by Buzz when he came to his senses and replaced his bots' brains with a fellow co-worker.
