Team Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear
Captain Buzz Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear is the hero of the Galactic Alliance, recipient of just about every known award for heroics, and greatest defender of the galaxy. A seasoned veteran, he knows how to handle most any situation, though sometimes his paranoia and ego can drive people around him a little nuts. But thanks to his smarts, he'll pull through anything the galaxy throws at him and his team.
- The Ace: He is frequently shown as being the best Space Ranger. He's heroic, he's skilled at anything a Ranger will do in the field, and he has a keen mind.
- Ambiguously Human: Despite looking human, he is never referred to as such. In addition, he's never seen without the purple head covering he appears to wear and has apparently had it since he was a kid, so it could actually be part of his head for all we know.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: As the leader of his team, he's often the one most likely to do well in a fight.
- Badass Normal: He's a normal person from what we can assume and yet he is still one of the most formidable members of the Galactic Alliance.
- Big Brother Mentor: Tends to play this role toward his teammates. 'First Missions' showed flashbacks of him acting as one towards Booster and Mira even before they became Space Rangers.
- Big Good: As mentioned above, he's pretty much the Superman of the Galactic Alliance to an extent.
- Broken Bird: A rare male example in The Adventure Begins, as the lost off Warp Darkmatter causes him to attempt to become a lone wolf to avoid the pain of losing a teammate again. His Jerkass Façade has very obvious cracks however.
- By-the-Book Cop: Buzz is usually fairly adamant in following the procedures and rules laid out in the Star Command mission manual. He knows them by heart too.Buzz: There's only one way for me to finish this mission: alone.
Booster: But Buzz, that's against the rules! In the Star Command mission manual, it clearly states that no Ranger is to go into action without back-up. I think it's section 6 sub-section delta.
Buzz: Actually it's section 6 sub-section gamma.
XR: He's right, sub-section delta's the dress code. Incidentally, why can't we have nose rings?
Buzz: Because nose rings are for punks, little mister.
- It's later revealed that he's so By the Book because he wrote the book!
- Cannot Tell a Lie: Or at least, has major problems doing so.
- Captain Space, Defender of Earth!: He's often considered "the galaxy's greatest hero."
- Character Catchphrase:
- "To Infinity, and Beyond!" His catchphrase often rubs shoulders with Borrowed Catchphrase and Mangled Catchphrase on occasion. Sometimes, an ally or villain says it word for word, while other times, a somebody or something mangles it.
- He also says "Evil never wins!".
- Character Development: Goes from someone who refused to even have another partner after Warp's death. By the end of the pilot movie, he forms an entire 'team' and asks for assistance from the other rangers.
- Chick Magnet: Quite a few women in the series have been attracted to him.
- Experienced Protagonist: His series begins with him already being the top Space Ranger in the galaxy, and his main problem is that he doesn't have a partner that can keep up with him. At the end of the pilot, he realizes that what he needs isn't a partner, but a whole four-men team to face the dangers he goes up against.
- Fake Defector: Masquerades as a bounty hunter named Shiv Katall, who works for Zurg in tracking down and destroying defectors from his ranks. In reality, he escorts them out of his clutches. This identity was later stolen by his evil self.
- Famed In-Story: Even in-universe, he is praised for his heroics.
- Flanderization: Both compared to Lightyear and Toy Story. While his movie counterpart struggled with a wide variety of emotions ranging from guilt to grief, only slipping into a more hammy state when he got passionate about his job, the cartoon Buzz was hamming it up every chance he got. Even compared to his toy counterpart, who, though still hammy, took time to develop his own personality, this Buzz is Chewing the Scenery more often than not.
- Friend to All Children: Many children look up to him for being an amiable and selfless hero, and he likes them back.
- The Good Captain: He always tries to be fair to his teammates.
- The Good Guys Always Win: He is a very firm believer in this, and he gets proven right all the time.
- Heroic Build: He has a large chest and is physically fit.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: One episode had him call Booster his best friend.
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness: While not perfect, he is adamant about living a clean life and serving the side of good. One of the clear demonstrations of his goodness is that he singlehandedly reverts the Uni-Mind back to a good state after it has been corrupted by Zurg. The purity of Buzz's heart is comparable to the evil of Zurg's heart.
- Ineffectual Loner: His state of mind in the pilot. Shaken by the alleged death of his long-time partner Warp Darkmatter, Buzz decides that he must work alone so no one else dies on his watch and that is even when his colleagues have two great potential partners for him. This ends up biting him back in that he can't defeat Zurg by himself. By the end, Buzz changes his mind and makes a whole team instead of a duo.
- The Kirk: Strikes a strong balance between keeping to the rules and knowing when he has to massage them a bit to achieve what he needs to do, as well as leading the team.
- Lantern Jaw of Justice: He's a good guy with a huge chin.
- Large Ham: He can be very dramatic on occasion, especially when going into spiels about Zurg and his evil plans.
- Living Legend: Buzz is as legendary in his own universe as Captain Kirk, Luke Skywalker, and the Doctor are in theirs.
- Never Bareheaded: Buzz never takes his purple astronaut skullcap off. Ever. Even when he was a child, he wore it.
- Nice to the Waiter: He was on friendly terms with Booster, even back when the latter was a mere janitor. He even encouraged Booster's drive to become a Space Ranger, and convinced a Corporal about to fire him that Booster was intentionally assigned to clean the Launch Bay (despite the fact that, as Buzz later points out, he's not supposed to be there).
- No One Gets Left Behind: He won't leave anyone behind if he can help it.
- Not So Above It All: Sometimes, he can be just as reckless as his teammates.
- Old Shame: "The Fluffy Incident" from when he was nine-years-old, which entailed the family cat getting singed after he got his hands on a working laser. Suffice to say, he kept that one under his skullcap, with only Santa himself knowing what happened and putting him on the naughty list that year for it.
- One-Man Army: He can take down an impressive number of Hornet drones all by himself.
- Properly Paranoid: He frequently accuses Zurg of being behind every possible evil deed, and he's almost always right.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Whenever his teammates are at each other's throats, he tries to be fair and to hear all their sides of the story.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Though a stickler to the rules, he's willing to bend them if it's the only way he can do the right thing. That said...
- Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Whenever someone gets in his face about ignoring regulations his annoyed response is that he knows the regulations, he wrote half of them. The implication being that he's given himself the ad hoc authority to rewrite those regulations to suit his needs. His friends exploit this to keep him from charging recklessly or on his own.Buzz: I am not getting a nose ring! No one is getting a nose ring! It's against the rules!
Mira: Which apparently don't apply to you.
Buzz: Of course they apply to me! The rules apply to everyone! - Socially Awkward Hero: He sometimes gets nervous and has trouble interacting with others properly, especially when dealing with women who are attracted to him.
- Token Human: His teammates are two aliens and a robot. From what can be seen, he's most likely human. Then again, see Ambiguously Human.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Cosmic chili. He's shown in episodes like "Rescue Mission" and "At Large on a Small Planet" to be devouring this food.
- Weaksauce Weakness: According to an episode involving clones, he's ticklish.
- We Used to Be Friends: He is visibly upset when he finds out Darkmatter willingly went turncoat, even pointing out he gave his former partner a very nice eulogy.
- You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: When he gets mad, it can be quite shocking.
Mira Nova
Princess Mira Nova
Voiced by: Nicole Sullivan
Heir to the Tangean throne, Mira grew up under an overprotective and formal system of rule, save for a fling she had in her youth. That all changed when Buzz Lightyear saved her family from enslavement to Zurg. Inspired by him, she joined Star Command as a space ranger, quickly distinguishing herself among the rookies and being Commander Nebula's first pick for Buzz's replacement partner. Though Buzz took a few more partners than just her, she's still a strong and versatile ranger ready to tackle any challenge.
- The Ace: The very first thing we see her do is not only survive the level of training Buzz usually uses (which defeated every single other trainee), but then pass the next one as well via ghosting.
- Action Girl: She's the token female of the team and quite capable of kicking ass.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Her species skin turns yellow while tanning.
- Beware the Nice Ones: She may be easygoing, but it would be suicidal to tick her off.
- Character Tics: Hers is stumbling over her words.
- Compressed Hair: When wearing her hood, it completely covers up her long hair.
- Deadpan Snarker: She sometimes makes remarks about her teammates' faults. XR is probably the only member of the team more sarcastic than her.
- Fantastic Drug: In one episode, she discovers that ghosting through fusion reactors temporarily supercharges her psychic abilities and lets her shoot lasers from her eyes. However, she has to do this more and more frequently, and nearly gets herself killed trying to fight Zurg this way (this is what a coroner would call "death by misadventure"-the user thinks they're Superman but reality does not, with predictable results). Her father lets her know that he used to do it when he was her age, and still has occasional cravings, implying that it's a lifelong addiction that can be managed but never truly cured.
- Fantastic Racism: Averted with Mira, putting her in a stark contrast to the rest of her species who consider themselves superior beings due to their mental powers. She comes at odds with her father because of this.
- Fiery Redhead: She has red hair and is perhaps of the most enthusiastic fighter of the group.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: The blue-skinned, entirely innocent edition.
- Impossible Hourglass Figure: Is curvy and well-endowed, noticeable even in space armor.
- Intangible Man: Like all Tangeans, she can freely phase through solid objects. It is described as "ghosting power".
- Interspecies Romance: With Romac, a Tangean Grounder.
- Kick Chick: She often fights by kicking. Justified given she will try to leave her hands free to use her lasers and her legs are long and strong.
- The Lancer: She is often second-in-command to Buzz and the one most likely to debate him.
- Latex Space Suit: Downplayed since her Star Command spacesuit is still bulky, but it is also notably more form-fitting than the others'.
- Long Hair Is Feminine: She's the token female of the team and she has long hair.
- Love Hurts: She's rather distraught when her old boyfriend Romac turns out to be allying with those against the side she's on.
- Missing Mom: Her mother isn't even mentioned.
- Modest Royalty: From the way she usually acts, one would hardly guess that Mira is actually royalty. She prefers to be treated as just another Space Ranger than a princess.
- Nice Girl: Despite being royalty, she doesn't look down on others and is generally kind and compassionate.
- Only Sane Woman: She is frequently portrayed as the most sensible of the group.
- Playing Possum: Her first scene in training involves her being overwhelmed by Level 10 training bots, but it's a ruse to allow her to ghost out of her suit and take out the bots her own way.
- Rebellious Princess: She became a space ranger against her father's wishes. Unlike the king, she never looks down on another species.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: A princess who helps others as a member of the Galactic Alliance. Even more impressive is that she's become a Space Ranger, a very dangerous job at that.
- The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female main character.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In the Toy Story universe to Lightyear's Izzy Hawthorne as the sarcastic, lead female member of Buzz's group, though it's the other way around in reality.
- Unskilled, but Strong: By Tangean standards, anyways. Joining Star Command caused Mira to miss the opportunity to fully hone her powers, so she has to learn them through experience and accident.
Booster Sinclair Munchapper
Booster Sinclair Munchapper
Voiced by: Stephen Furst
Booster was once a humble farmer until the day Zurg invaded his home. Buzz Lightyear swooped in to help, and together they saved the day. Joining the janitorial staff, and studying to become a full space ranger, the Unimind crisis eventually gave Booster his lifelong dream of being a space ranger right alongside Buzz. While not the brightest or the swiftest, his heart and strength make him a formidable foe for any enemy of Star Command.
- Almighty Janitor: Was literally (the janitor part) one during "The Adventure Begins". While he frequently gets in trouble for unauthorized entry while being a janitor, he later proved his worth fighting along side Buzz, Mira and XR before becoming an actual Ranger himself.
- Ascended Fanboy: Used to be a janitor at Star Command, who badly wanted to join the Space Rangers. After the pilot he gets to not only be a Space Ranger, but be part of Buzz Lightyear's squad.
- Barbie Doll Anatomy: We've seen Booster naked three times, but two of them kept us from seeing his goods. However, if the episode "The Yukari Imprint" is to be believed, he has no external genitalia.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Booster is usually a very nice and kindhearted person, but getting him mad is a very dangerous thing to do.
- Big Eater: The first time we see the team getting chow at Cosmo's, Booster's order is larger than everyone else's combined and disappears down his throat almost as fast as it can be put on the table.
- Big Fun: Tall, fat, and endlessly good-natured.
- The Big Guy: Addressed as such pretty regularly, too. He's the tallest, largest and heaviest member of the group, and his bulk alone is enough swat aside whole crowds.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: A plot point in "The Taking of PC-7", since the fact that his species brain isn't located entirely within their head renders him Immune to Mind Control. If you're curious the rest of it is in his butt.
- Body Horror: His species is biologically hardwired to want to harvest "Bunzels", the crop his family raises. He morphs into a crab-monster when he's unable to do so, and returns to normal once he does.
- Boisterous Bruiser: He's big, cheerful, and packs a punch.
- The Call Put Me on Hold: He wanted to be a ranger so badly, he just never managed to pass the exam.
- Character Catchphrase: Early on, at least: "Hot rockets!"
- Clothing Damage: His suit often gets torn up, sometimes even leaving him in his underwear or naked.
- Comedic Underwear Exposure: Three times in the series ("The Adventure Begins," "Beasts of Karn," and "Millennial Bugs") Booster's underwear has been exposed. He wears Tighty-Whities in two of the three episodes, but in "Millennial Bugs," he wore white Boxer Shorts with little planets on them.
- Averted with a side of Naked People Are Funny in "The Plasma Monster" where Booster after failing to neutralize Plasma Boy in his monster form with a component from the ship, Booster resorts to using his own spacesuit to contain Plasma Boy. The end result has Plasma Boy in Booster's suit, and a suitless Booster falling back to the ground, with no form of undergarments as he apparently went space commando that episode. Mira and XR's repulsed reactions to Booster say it all, despite the results of Booster's resourcefulness under dire circumstances.
- Embarrassing Middle Name: Booster Sinclair Munchapper. Lampshaded by Mira and XR in the episode "Root of Evil"Mira: Sinclair?
XR: I'm still getting used to Munchapper.
Booster: At least I have a last name, X! R! - Gentle Giant: Zurg addressed him as such in "Lost in Time". In general, Booster is the nicest, most peaceful of Buzz's squad.
- Completely Averted in his Bunzel Beast form.
- Grievous Harm with a Body: Sometimes will use his impressive strength to pick up an enemy and use them like a club or baseball bat to attack another enemy.
- Immune to Mind Control: During "The Taking of PC-7", Booster was not affected by the Universal Personality Adjuster Torque put on him after stealing it from PC-7's warden. Subverted at first, as Booster contacts Buzz and Mira to announce that he has sided with Torque, he is holding the Warden, and the Galactic President as hostages, and he calls Buzz "Buzz-Boy". Double Subverted and Justified when he tells his team that the personality portion of his mind is not in his head, and that he was faking alteration to get Torque off guard.
- Innocently Insensitive: Booster has had his moments where although he means well, he doesn't always realize the consequences his actions have on others.
- Intergenerational Friendship: In "Strange Invasion", he befriends a little alien girl named Becky, whom he is still shown to be close with in later episodes. His friendship with Buzz would also count because Booster is roughly in his early 20's and based on age evidence is in his 40's.
- Jabba Table Manners: Inverted while chomping down into a "Sloppy Jovian" in the episode "Rescue Mission," as he is a member of the Space Rangers, let alone Buzz Lightyear's team. Yet, he still spills sauce from his sandwich all over them.
- Loved by All: Pretty much everybody on the good side likes Booster, though they might a little annoyed at his naivete or his eternal optimism. In "Revenge of the Raenoks", when Booster gets kidnapped by the Klingon-esque Raenoks so that they can make a prisoner exchange with the Galactic Aliiance, the only reason Commander Nebula doesn't instantly sanction a full-scale Star Command invasion of the Raenok homeworld to rescue him is that he couldn't risk starting an intergalactic war. Buzz, Mira, and XR lobby to launch a small rescue mission instead and Nebula instantly grants the request and sends Buzz and Mira off with the LGMs newest stealth tech. Meanwhile, with reports of Booster's capture on the news, multiple parties set off on independent rescue missions: Booster's parents head in to save their boy and bring Booster a tray of some of his favorite food, Becky and her father, the Roswell, sheriff, likewise set off to rescue their friend and also bring some tasty snacks with them, and the LGMs were also quite upset and build an "ultimate weapon", with a trio of them going off with the intent of blasting their way through Raenok to rescue him.
- Nice Guy: The nicest member of the team, to the point that even Zurg remarks on it.
- One-Man Army: He is capable of taking out a group of foes by himself.
- Sarcasm-Blind: This happens to him a few times where sarcasm just flies over his head. In "Wirewolf", for example, he doesn't pick up on Ty's sarcasm after Buzz saves him from NOS-4-A2.Ty: Oh, would you? I'm sure they can't wait to hear how BUZZ saved me again. Make that call, PLEASE.
Booster: Right away, sir! [He goes to call Star Command]
Ty: [Blinks and does a Face Palm] Sarcasm is lost on the big one. - Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to XR's Manly Man. Booster is more selfless and amiable than XR usually is.
- Shy Finger-Twiddling: Prone to this, when nervous.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In the Toy Story universe, he's one to Mo, the Plucky Comic Relief of Lightyear, though in the real world, it's the other way around.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Or Trademark Favorite Ingredient, as Booster is fond of anything containing the popular Jo-Adian grown vegetable, Bunzel.
- Vocal Dissonance: Physically, at least. Booster's rather high-pitched and nervous sounding voice clashes with his hulking frame and tendency towards using his hands in combat, though Stephen Furst's performance fits his endearing, sensitive personality perfectly.
XR
eXperimental Ranger, "XR"
Voiced by: Larry Miller or Neil Flynn, depending on the episode
The eXperimental Ranger, XR is a robot created by the LGMs to serve as Buzz's new partner, since as a robot, he'd be able to be fixed if anything bad happened to him. During his first field mission, he was obliterated by Agent Z, and due to the Unimind's theft, when the LGMs fixed him, there were a few... quirks in his new programming. Nonetheless, he remained committed to his original goal of being a space ranger, and was eventually taken on as part of Team Lightyear.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Played with. XR is a far cry from his original programming to "Watch and Learn" after being destroyed the first time, but he still considers himself a space ranger for good.
- All Men Are Perverts: He frequently hits on every attractive woman he encounters.
- Came Back Wrong: Not that his original programming was anything to write home about, being limited to copying Buzz's every word and move, but the LGMs didn't quite manage to fix him properly after being disconnected from the Unimind, resulting in his current personality.
- Casanova Wannabe: Hits on any female in the vicinity and succeeds about as well as you'd expect.
- The Chew Toy: The amount of abuse that gets dished onto him is hard to believe.
- Do-Anything Robot: He has a lot of gadgets built into him.
- Fantastic Racism: Hates metal scavenging Vulturans, leading him into a "BATTLE FRENZY!".
- Fun with Acronyms: The eXperimental Ranger. Even Commander Nebula once referred to him as the "eXpendable Ranger", much fitting to XR's reconstructability.
- Good Thing You Can Heal: XR is designed to be easy to reconstruct from damage. He puts that to the test constantly as he can hardly go through an episode without being blasted into his component parts.
- Guns Akimbo: Likes to roll into combat with a blaster in each hand, befitting his occasional flashes of arrogant showboating.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: In the Christmas Episode, he's openly sour about the holiday and what it stands for, but he secretly believes in Santa more than any of his teammates do and by a wide margin, at that. He just considers it embarrassing to actually admit it.
- Hover Bot: XR's head floats above his trunk but below a clear dome. Since he's an Iron Butt Monkey on the show, this head is often the only part of him left intact, and it delivers a pithy observation about his destruction.
- Iron Butt Monkey: He often gets damaged, but can be easily repaired. Also notably an intended part of his design, as he was created in part to help Buzz's fear that a new partner would simply get gunned down by Zurg.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Character flaws aside, he'll do whatever it takes to do his duty to his crew and the galaxy as a whole.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Usually whenever he does his scams, they will be brought to the daylight or backfire on him.
- Mr. Vice Guy: XR is cowardly, selfish, lazy, perverted, impatient, dishonest, egotistical, short-tempered, and greedy enough to run scams behind Buzz's back to make some extra cash for himself. Despite this, he's still firmly on the heroes' side and proven himself as a Ranger multiple times.
- Plucky Comic Relief: He tends to provide comic relief through his egotistical ways and being subjected to comedic injuries.
- Pulling Themselves Together: He sometimes has to reattach body parts after losing them.
- Ridiculously Human Robot: A big case of Achievement In Ignorance as the then-disconnected LGMs manage to turn a fairly simplistic A.I. into a fully sentient robot with a whole range of emotions and quirks.
- Robot Buddy: A robot who pals around with the rest of the group. He was initially supposed to be Buzz's only partner thanks to his repairable nature, but then the team grew.
- Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly Man to Booster's Sensitive Guy. While Booster is a big softie, XR often has his moments of being lecherous and arrogant.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In the Toy Story universe, he acts as a replacement for Lightyear's star Sox as the team's Token Robot, though in the real world, it's the other way around.
- Token Robot: The only robot on the team, and the only robot Ranger, period.
- Unreliable Narrator: XR claims he first met Buzz in the cafeteria in First Missions. But viewers who watched the pilot episodes know that it isn't true. Though this is a mixture of both his original personality being wiped and how XR post-rebuilt tends to make himself look better.
- Walking Armory: XR has a lot of guns under his shell, but he seldom uses them.
- We Can Rebuild Him: Buzz long refused any teammates due to his previous one being "killed". The LGMs created XR because, as a robot, they could easily fix him if he was destroyed. Naturally, he gets blasted into pieces quite often.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Desperately seeks Commander Nebula's approval and recognition as his "son".
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Commander Nebula hates robots, and believes a robot counterpart can't measure up to a real Space Ranger. The only reason his creation was approved was because the LGMs slipped in the related paperwork, knowing the commander will rush-sign everything.
Other Space Rangers
Commander Nebula
Commander Zeb Nebula
Voiced by: Adam Carolla
The founder and commanding officer of Star Command.
- Ambiguously Human: In precisely the same manner as Buzz, right down to the purple head covering only they seem to have.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Even though he constantly expresses his exasperation with XR's antics and dislikes the idea of having a robot Space Ranger, he has shown that he acknowledges that the little bot has earned his place in Star Command and has gone out of his way to personally see to his safety when he was kidnapped. He'll still deny worrying when pressed about it.
- Benevolent Boss: Every space ranger adores and respects him, including Buzz.
- Bling of War: His space ranger suit is somewhat unique in that he has a golden crest on the chest instead of the standard buttons.
- Cool Old Guy: Nebula may be completely gray, refer to Buzz as "son" and is apparently a founding member of the Galactic Alliance, but he's still a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
- Da Chief: The beleaguered, near constantly angry and shouting superior to Buzz. He's annoyed by the antics and amateurism of the whole staff.
- Desk Jockey: His rank forces him to spend nearly all his time dealing with the minutia necessary to run Star Command. He repeatedly and loudly states his displeasure in this situation and wishes he could spend more time back in the field but knows that the station can't function without him for long.
- Famed In-Story: Though it's been a while since he was an active Ranger in the field, his name still elicits a very similar reaction to Buzz's among the scum of the galaxy. Namely: fear. The circumstances surrounding the loss of his leg are the subject of much speculation In-Universe, almost becoming Shrouded in Myth.
- A Father to His Men: He cares about the well-being of his Rangers, often giving them personal attention and advice despite his busy schedule.
- General Ripper: Subverted. He's actually a very understanding and compassionate figure, even with his hot-headed personality.
- Handicapped Badass: Losing his leg didn't slow him down much.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: His temper may be short, but he's a courageous, trustworthy and skillful Ranger, and makes his faith in Buzz and his team very well-known.
- Just a Machine: Has a distaste for robots. Especially for the idea that one could do the job of a Space Ranger.
- Leg Cannon: His peg leg fires laser blasts.
- Parental Substitute: He signed both XL and XR's work order forms, so both view him as their father—much to his irritation.
- Pen-Pushing President: As the Space Commander, he is forced to constantly do paperwork by his robotic desk, which he actively tries to avoid. Such is his disdain for bureaucracy that he'll sign most official paperwork that crosses his desk without reading it. This is how the LGMs consistently get him to authorize projects, such as building robots XL and XR, they know he'd never approve otherwise.
- Rank Scales with Asskicking: Played with. While his skills have atrophied somewhat due to his age and being stuck behind a desk, he's still able to keep pace with Buzz when the two are on missions together.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: He has a reasonable amount of trust in Team Lightyear and knows what they are capable of.
- Suddenly Shouting: Has a habit of doing this.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He stands in for Lightyear's Commander Burnside as Buzz's commanding officer, though it's the other way around in the real world.
Rocket Crocket
Rocket Crocket
Voiced by: Phil LaMarr
- Always Second Best: To a lesser extent compared to Ty below.
- The Captain: Has his own team of Rangers, which is made of recurring extras.
- The Rival: He feels or wants to be this to Buzz.
Ty Parsec
Ty Parsec
Voiced by: Steve Hytner
- Always Second Best: He resents Buzz for being better than him at everything.
- Deadpan Snarker: Makes some sarcastic remarks about Buzz getting the glory while he's stuck with undesirable duties.
- Distressed Dude: His reputation is of constantly being rescued by Buzz.
- Fighting from the Inside: Ty managed to fight off the Wirewolf's instincts twice. Once he stopped himself from harming Buzz, the other was in attacking NOS-4-A-2 in retaliation for trying to harm Buzz.
- Ink-Suit Actor: Ty resembles his voice actor, Steve Hytner, down to the brown hair, face shape, and lines around his mouth.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: An accidental bite from NOS-4-A2 coupled with exposure to the energy radiating from an alien moon he was studying transformed him into the Wirewolf, a cybernetic lycanthrope with severe anger issues. Fortunately, while the Wirewolf can shred steel like paper and can make mincemeat out of Star Command droids, he cannot spread his curse to others on his own, limiting the damage he can do. The destruction of the moon seemed to break the curse, but apparently even the smallest chunk can transform Ty back into a monster.
- Painful Transformation: He often screamed in pain whenever he turned into the Wirewolf.
- Remember the New Guy?: He wasn't heard of until Buzz brought him up in a conversation and labeled him as an 'old buddy' from the Space Ranger Academy in "Wirewolf." This stems from the fact that Ty had been garrisoned on Canis Lunis, rather than serving on Star Command itself.
- The Resenter: He harbors negative feelings toward Buzz for being better than him.
- Slasher Smile: Sports one when he kills Nos-4-A2.
- Tragic Monster: He is clearly shown to be distraught by his transformations into the Wirewolf and the destruction he causes while in that form.
- Unknown Rival: Buzz had no idea how much Ty resented him.
- Unwilling Roboticisation: His Wirewolf form is metal and wires to Ty's flesh and blood.
Little Green Men
LGMs
Voiced by: Patrick Warburton
- Achievements in Ignorance: They're significantly less smart without the Unimind combining their intellect together as a Hive Mind. That said, despite that, they gave XR's Artificial Intelligence a significant boost, and basically made him as sentient as any humanoid.
- Christmas Elves: Some of them work for Santa Claus.
- Cowardly Lion: They can fight, but prefer to stay out of harm's way.
- Ditto Aliens: They all look alike. In "Good Old Buzz", they mistake Mira for Booster and explain that the other characters all look alike to them.
- Even Nerds Have Standards: One LGM has odd invention ideas, prompting his fellows to shake their heads and mutter, "Independent thinker."
- Extra Eyes: The LGM have three eyes.
- Fun with Acronyms: They're Little Green Men.
- Hive Mind: Courtesy of the Unimind, allowing all Little Green Men can share thoughts and sensations, usually talking in unison and combining their intellect. Without it, they get disoriented and off their game.
- Little Green Men: What do you think "LGM" stands for?
- Mission Control: They often guide Team Lightyear through their missions through a communications link.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When the "Independent Thinker" is kidnapped, they demand revenge and to accompany Team Lightyear on the rescue mission.
- Parody Product Placement: Meta example as Angus MacLane said on Twitter
that the LGMs appeared into the show due to it being sponsored by Pizza Planet in-universe. - Proud Industrious Race: The LGM's comprise most of the staff of Star Command; understandable, since they built most of it. They can operate any device they encounter, they can repair anything given time, and they can build anything given enough materials. The only reason the LGM's don't rule the galaxy is they lack direction, which means someone has to assign them a task, whereupon the LGM's go at it with blistering efficiency.
- Sweet Tooth: They are occasionally shown to have a fondness for sweets. For instance, Buzz gets some unconscious LGMs to come to by unwrapping a candy bar and waving it in front of them in "Ancient Evil", while "42" had XR distract the LGMs using a bunch of candy.

- Benevolent A.I.: Despite being an A.I., and disagreements with Buzz, she acts purely for the benefit of the team and the ship.
- Girl of the Week: For XR.
- Just Friends: She ends up turning down XR's offer to date after getting a new job building ships.
- Last Episode, New Character: Sort of. She makes her first proper appearance in the Grand Finale.
- Spaceship Girl: Team Lightyear's starship effectively is her body, but eventually her artificial mind is extracted from the ship and implanted into a personal robot shell.
- Suddenly Voiced: After spending the series as a silent rocket, she gains the ability to speak after she becomes sentient.
Major Villains
Evil Emperor Zurg
Voiced by: Wayne Knight
Tropes associated with Zurg:
- Absurdly Sharp Claws: His armored gauntlets are capable of slicing through glass.
- Adaptational Comic Relief: Unlike his completely serious versions from from Toy Story and later Lightyear, this Zurg is a Large Ham who couldn't tone down his hamminess if he tried. That being said...
- Adaptational Heroism: Downplayed, as Zurg is still the Big Bad, but in Lightyear which came first in Toy Story canon, he was willing to wipe out all of reality to undo the mistake he made in the past, even if it meant killing those he loved. Here, Zurg is shown to have some standards in his villainy, namely avoiding kidnapping politicians.
- Adaptational Wimp: Although in Real Life Lightyear came after this show, within Toy Story universe, Lightyear came first. While that Zurg is a giant robot straight out of a nightmare, with all the destructive capabilities that entails, BLOSC Zurg is a regular sized villain who lacks many of those capabilities. It still doesn't make him any less dangerous, but he's not nearly as intimidating as that iteration.
- Ambiguous Robots: He's covered head-to-toe in metal, he has glowing red eyes, and he has gadgets seemingly built into his body. On the other hand, he was affected by the gas in "The Crawling Flesh", and he claims to have had a grandmother. Maybe, like his inspiration Darth Vader, he's a cyborg.
- Arch-Enemy: He is Buzz Lightyear's main enemy. On a bigger scale, he is also the Galactic Alliance's main threat.
- Bad Boss: It's implied he's this, but while he does seem to see his minions as expandable he comes off as more of a Mean Boss as he usually manhandles them but not more. One time when he accidentally crushed three wasp drones in his hand, he straight-up apologized.
- Badass Cape: Reaches down to the floor.
- Beware the Silly Ones: As hammy as he can be, Zurg can match Buzz in a fight, has shown that he can single-handedly take down modern military units with almost effortless ease, and hatches plans that frequently endanger the galaxy. He is also perfectly willing to commit acts of great destruction and cruelty. A good example is the movie pilot, where he uses the Uni-Mind to link up to the Star Command and he takes control of almost the entire universe.
- BFG: If needed, Zurg can whip out the Ion Blaster at a given moment.
- Big Bad: He is the central villain of the series, and there are very few episodes where the conflict isn't at least partially his fault.
- Card-Carrying Villain: He is probably the biggest card-carrying villain in fiction, going as far as to commit atrocities for evil's sake. Naturally, he is often regarded by his full "Evil Emperor" title, and he wears it proudly.
- Cold Ham: Occasionally dips into this, usually when he's pissed. And it's pretty terrifying.
- The Corrupter: He is so evil, he is capable of corrupting the Uni-Mind. It took Buzz's pure goodness to purify it. He also convinced Warp Darkmatter to work for him as a double agent while still a Space Ranger.
- The Corruption: During the pilot episode, he just has to dig his claws into the Uni-Mind to corrupt it and turn it into a mind control device.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Hidden is right, since we never see his face.
- Cruel Mercy: In "Stress Test" when Buzz is captured, Zurg gloats that after he uses his Hyper Death Ray to destroy Star Command, Buzz will have to spend the rest of his life working at a fast food restaurant."And when Star Command is no more, what is Buzz Lightyear going to do? You have no skills, Buzz. You have nothing to fall back on. Memorize this phrase, it may come in handy: 'Want fries with that, man?'"
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Against the local army of planet Roswell. It should be noted that he didn't even use his Hornets, it was just him!
- Decomposite Character: Though in real life, the Zurg from Lightyear is a Composite Character, within Toy Story canon, this Zurg is split off from that Zurg, alongside Evil Buzz and future Buzz.
- Defeat Catchphrase: "CURSE YOU, BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!"
- The Dreaded: The mere mention of his name is enough to inspire fear.
- Egopolis: Planet Z. Etc. Etc.
- Enemy Mine: In the episode "War and Peace and War", Zurg learns that Guzelian (the leader of the Heed) has been impersonating as a giant floating head deity to trick all planets of the galaxy to disarm their weapons in exchange for peace so that the Heed warships can attack them, (including Star Command and Planet Z); Guzelian even tricked Star Command and Planet Z in dismantling their most powerful weapons. When Guzelian sends several of his Heed warriors to attack both Zurg and Buzz, this forced both foes to briefly work together to stop the Heed armada for good.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas:
- Zurg has some very fond memories of his Nana Zurg, who was plenty evil as well and always told sound advice in order to get the work done.
- He also seemed to have loved his mother, considering his dreams about her.
- Even Evil Has Standards:
- Surprisingly. He forms a very low opinion of Klerm."You know, it's twerps like you that give evil a bad name."
- He also wouldn't fall so low and do something like kidnapping politicians; even many of his cohorts are in the same page as him. It should be noted that this isn't out of any moral standard, but because it's way too on the nose, even for him."I'd never do something so... so obvious."
- He also shares Buzz's disgust of Guzelian's nefarious plot of taking over the entire galaxy under false pretenses of peace and tricking all planets in dismantling their defense systems; he even lampshades this to Buzz when the latter initially assumed that he was in league with Guzelian."Heed the Heed?! Hardly. NOT my style!"
- Surprisingly. He forms a very low opinion of Klerm.
- Evil Overlord: Right there in the name. Zurg is the master of his own vast empire that threatens the Galactic Alliance, which is so powerful a full assault from Star Command is an idea met with skepticism from Buzz.
- Evil Is Hammy: He's as dramatic as they get, having quite an Evil Laugh and all.
- Evil Is Petty:
- When Buzz was making a final speech, Zurg called up a camera crew to film it.
- He cheats Commander Nebula out of a handshake.
- When Mira foils his attack on a medical ship, Zurg, ever the egotistical one, insists it was all part of his plan, even though his grubs aren't buying it.
- When gaining the means to freeze time, he creates all sorts of havoc typical of a Big Bad, but he also steals Buzz's newspaper just to be a jerk.
- Expressive Mask: His Darth Vader-esque mouthpiece is as fluid and expressive as an actual mouth, and the eyeholes commonly blink and change expression. It helps make his hammy posturing even more over the top.
- Eye Beams: Is capable of this. He actually has two versions of this: One is a more normal laser beam, and the other is where his eyes glow and he super heats whatever he's looking at.
- For the Evulz: Zurg is usually plotting the take over the galaxy, but he's not above causing chaos, attacking helpless civilians, or empowering villains just for personal satisfaction at times.
- Freudian Excuse: Averted. Everything indicates that Zurg was born evil, plain and simple. As a child, he had an "Evil Emperor playset" that came with live explosives.
- Galactic Conqueror: Zurg rules an entire empire spanning an unknown number of planets and is trying all the time to conquer the Galactic Alliance.
- Genius Bruiser: He can match Buzz in a battle, and is the mastermind of the show.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: If particularly angry, Zurg's eyes glow a brighter shade of red.
- Good Colors, Evil Colors: Zurg is mostly purple with a grey and black cape and touches of red and green, contrasting the heroic Buzz's white, light purple, and light green.
- Greater-Scope Villain: When not the main villain of the episode, he is usually behind every other bad thing going on out there.
- Hand Cannon: He's got a three-barreled ion blaster, which he's quite proud of and is one of his most-featured weapons.Zurg: Your puny Star Command laser is pathetic! Let me show you a real weapon! (ZAPPP!!)
- Hates Being Touched: DON'T. EVER. TOUCH. HIM. *
- Large Ham: He's loud, dramatic, and over-the-top. At times his ham is enhanced by gesturing and mugging (in contrast to the action figure version featured in Toy Story having a static robotic face, now his eyeholes and mouthpiece shift wildly).
- Laughably Evil: Even as an emperor of evil constantly trying to wipe out all opposition against him, Zurg is a hammy, theatrical showman. Of course, he is still an evil overlord who has his moments where he should not be underestimated.
- The Man Behind the Man: Most of the other villains either work for him or can trace their villainous origins back to him. Warp sold himself to Zurg and became his main agent. He built NOS-4-A2, had Gravitina attack a planet in her first appearance, reactivated XL, and had his scientists give Torque his power. He also opened the portal that allowed Evil Buzz (who is basically the Zurg of the other universe) to crawl into the main universe.
- Mood-Swinger: He can rapidly shift between being polite, mildly annoyed, enthusiastic, enraged, bemused, or menacing at a moment's notice.
- Obviously Evil: He could not look or sound more evil, even if he tried.
- Psychopathic Manchild: While he is the show's villain, and can be genuinely evil from time to time, he is also very childish, obsessive and neurotic, not to mention self-aggrandizing and theatrical.
- Purple Is Powerful: His main dress.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes are red and he's a bad guy.
- Sigil Spam: Unless he’s trying to be subtle, you’ll know he’s involved in some capacity if anything has a big "Z" embroidered on it.
- Strange Minds Think Alike: At least twice, Buzz's paranoia over Zurg has lead to him making really out there theories about how current events are part of his plot, and Buzz has been proven right.
- In one episode, Buzz concludes that the mutant veggie monsters are part of a diabolical plan to weaken children by making them too afraid to eat their veggies. Mira lampshades how stupid that sounds, but it really was Zurg's evil plan.
- In another episode, Buzz insists that Zurg's pen is the key component of some evil plan. His team decides that the stress must have gotten to him and sends him on vacation, but he turns out to have been right. It was the triggering mechanism of a Hyper Death Ray.
- Surrounded by Idiots: Has the opinion that his minions are all ineffectual morons. Which, in fairness, is pretty true.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: He's not Buzz's father like in Toy Story, or is a future version of Buzz himself like in Lightyear. Funny enough, he does homage the former iteration, mostly to screw with Buzz.
- A Villain Named "Z__rg": He's named "Zurg", so it's as worthy of the trope as can be. He tends to put his "Z" everywhere too, from the name of his planet to his henchmen.
- You Have Failed Me: Lampshaded in NOS-4-A2's debut episode.Warp: Don't you have a strict "Failure means death" policy?
Zurg: Normally, yes.
Warp Darkmatter
Warp Darkmatter/Agent Z
Voiced by: Diedrich Bader
- The Ace: As Buzz's old partner, he's nearly as skilled as Buzz in everything from combat to tactics, which makes him an extremely dangerous enemy to face if Buzz isn't around.
- Affectionate Parody: Of the Evil Former Friend archetype. Unlike more dramatic depictions of the trope, Warp has no tragic background or brainwashing excuse to justify his turn. He just finds evil more profitable and more fun, while openly mocking any other justification.
- Artificial Limbs: His right arm was replaced with a robotic Swiss-Army Weapon.
- Beard of Evil: He has a soul patch, and is a corrupt former Space Ranger.
- Card-Carrying Villain: He has no problem referring to himself as evil.
- The Comically Serious: He was a lot more serious as Agent Z, providing some of the more dry humor moments for the villains.Evil Emperor Zurg: I shall call you, Agent Z!
Agent Z: That's stupid. - Deadpan Snarker: He often makes sarcastic quips, most notably about Buzz being surprised by his betrayal.
- Dirty Cop: Before his declaration of open allegiance to Zurg, he was a corrupt Space Ranger who had been on his payroll since the academy.
- The Dragon: For Zurg, especially in the pilot movie as Agent Z, until his identity is revealed. After being broken out of prison, he becomes Zurg's recurring enforcer for the remainder of the series.
- Enemy Mine: Despite his rivalry, Warp briefly teamed up with Buzz in two episodes. In "Tag Team", Warp learned that he and Buzz both have been fitted with implants by Chlorm scientists without their knowledge, and briefly allied with Buzz to find answers about the truth of the implants; he even saved Buzz from being dissected by the scientists. In "Ancient Evil", he assisted Buzz in defeating the ancient evil monster Natron as revenge against the latter for nearly draining his life force.
- Evil All Along: He is introduced as Buzz's comrade and friend and left for dead against Buzz's wishes. When they meet again, with Warp now under Zurg's employment, Buzz suspects he was being mind controlled. It's quickly revealed that he's been working for Zurg his whole career.Warp: Look, Lightyear, I've been on Zurg's payroll since the academy.
- Evil Counterpart: His uniform, while dolled up, is shaped and functions just like a more aggressive Space Ranger suit, retrofitted with more weapons and the same jetpack technology. Explicitly laid out in the pilot movie.Agent Z: Agent Z to Zurg. They've sent Lightyear.
Zurg: That's why I sent you. - Evil Feels Good: One of his stated motivations for allying with Zurg.
- Evil Former Friend: He used to be Buzz's partner (although he was never really on Buzz's side to begin with). In an episode, Warp does come back to save Buzz, showing that there's a shred of decency in him though.
- Evil Pays Better: The other of his stated motivations for allying with Zurg.Warp: Evil is just so much more profitable than good... and more fun!
- Evil Sounds Deep: As Agent Z, his helmet deepened his voice and disguised his identity.
- Faking the Dead: In the beginning of the pilot. Once he finds out about the Unimind, Warp is made a full time member of Zurg's forces.
- For the Evulz: He freely admits that he works for Zurg because evil is both more fun and more profitable than good.
- Fluffy the Terrible: His initial codename, "Agent Z", certainly doesn't very intimidating on paper. Warp is quick to point out how stupid it is, only to give when the Grubs and Brain-Pods inform him that Zurg was saving the name for a very evil henchman.
- Friendly Enemy: He and Buzz are this by the end of the series; while still proudly evil, he mellows out towards Buzz and even pretends not to get Zurg's messages, letting Buzz go.
- Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: While he went by Agent Z, he wore a helmet that disguised his identity and gave him and his armor overall a nearly identical resemblance to Zurg. However, he ditched it to reveal himself to Buzz to throw him off guard. Later on, Warp doesn't wear his helmet in his later appearances.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He does this for Buzz in the pilot, but it later turned out to be ruse so he could officially join Zurg fulltime.
- Meaningful Name: As lampshaded by Warp himself, it's rather appropriate that someone with the surname of DARKmatter is a villain.
- The Mole: While he worked for Star Command.
- Pet the Dog: Despite working for Zurg and taking pride in it, in one episode Warp comes back to save Buzz's life, proving there's still a shred of decency in him.
- Rubber-Forehead Aliens: The only thing that's "alien" about him is his skin color.
- Sell-Out: He willingly betrayed Star Command by selling out to Zurg because it benefited him more. He served as a double agent even before he left.
- The Sociopath: He has no problem with betraying his own friends and, as mentioned above, openly takes pride in being evil.
- Swiss-Army Appendage: His cybernetic arm can transform into a different weapons, including a blaster and a flamethrower. He can also just shoot out his metal clawed fist as a missile.
- Sympathy for the Devil: Buzz still believes Warp has some good in him, which does show in rare cases.
- Token Evil Teammate: Even when he worked for Star Command, Warp was never a good person to begin with, since he was actually a spy sent by Zurg.
- Unrobotic Reveal: As Agent Z, he looks almost identical to Zurg with his helmet and robotic arm. Zurg even describes him as being "a delightful blend of man and machine, with just a naughty touch of lingonberry". However, once Buzz subdues him, Warp ditches his helmet and reveals himself, much to Buzz's shock.
- You Are Number 6: Before the reveal of his survival, Warp was dubbed Agent Z. He thinks the name is stupid, but Zurg is insistent on it as his own mother named him that.
Brain Pods
Voiced by: Various actors
- Brain in a Jar: Brain Pod bodies consist of just a brain with eyes, and they live inside robotic bodies with glass helmets.
- Butt-Monkey: Bad Boss threats and Amusing Injuries are standard fare for the Brain Pods.
- Lovable Coward: Brain Pods are easily frightened and can be whiny, but it's generally Played for Laughs, and even the ones who aren't trying to defect from Zurg's empire aren't particularly unlikable.
Brain Pod 13: Save the dissident! Somebody save the dissident!
- Mr. Exposition: The Brain Pods often explain what Zurg's latest weapon is and how it works.
- Reluctant Mad Scientist: The Brain Pods create all kinds of inventions that Zurg puts to evil use, but Zurg's Bad Boss tendencies don't leave them much of a choice.
- Slave Race: The Brain Pods are native to Planet Z, and several episodes show that they aren't free to leave and make an honest and peaceful living.
Grubs
Voiced by: Various actors
A race of aliens who make up most of Zurg's staff.- Evil Counterpart: They're pretty much this to the LGMs, being Zurg's engineers.
- Little Green Men: Just like their Good Counterparts.
- Slave Race: Just like the Brain Pods, they're native to Planet Z, and several episodes show that they aren't free to leave and make an honest and peaceful living.
NOS-4-A2
Voiced by: Craig Ferguson
A vampiric Killer Robot built by Emperor Zurg to destroy Star Command, NOS-4-A2 is designed to prey on other machines, draining their energy for his own use and taking control over them. Unfortunately for Zurg, he proved too ambitious and went rogue.
- Ace Custom: Downplayed. He's at least partially based on the Hornet drones due to being built by Zurg, sharing their design cue of being primarily made of cones. With how much is new or different, you'd be hard-pressed to say he's "just" an advanced Hornet.
- A.I.-cronym: Downplayed, it's not wholly an acronym, but it's probably no coincidence that the name of an evil (energy) vampire sounds like Nosferatu when spoken aloud.
- Arch-Nemesis: To XR. No matter what appearance he has, he always goes after XR in some way. Either as a form of revenge or as a way to get his former servant back.
- Breath Weapon: He can shoot blasts of blue energy from his mouth.
- Character Catchphrase: "Lovely".
- Evil Brit: Despite his voice actor being Scottish.
- Evil Is Hammy: Nowhere near as bad as Zurg, but he has his moments.
- Expy: He's basically Count Dracula if he were a Killer Robot.
- Fangs Are Evil: He's got an impressive set that can even spin like drill bits.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: His eyes tend to glow when he feeds on energy, or when he's using his hypnotic powers.
- Good Wings, Evil Wings: He possesses retractable bat wings, which are made of red energy.
- Hand Blast: His first appearance has him shooting beams of blue energy from his hands that can animate other machines.
- High-Class Glass: One of his robotic eyes is made large and round compared to his other slanted eye, giving the impression of a monocle.
- Hypnotic Eyes: Or eye, rather: his large monocle-like left eye has some sort of hypnotic powers, as shown when he uses it to subdue the Wirewolf in his final episode.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: In his final appearance, Nos-4-A2 is knocked back by an explosion and ends up impaled on some rubble. Then, he explodes due to it rupturing his power supply.
- Killed Off for Real: He finally bites it in "Revenge of the Monsters". Notably, he's the only villain to be killed in the series.
- Knight of Cerebus: A downplayed example, since he still has a few comedic traits, but out of all the villains in the show, he's the one taken the most seriously, along with Evil Universe Buzz. He has proven to be among the most dangerous of Buzz's adversaries, almost single-handedly defeating all of Star Command in his debut episode. He was also responsible for Ty Parsec turning into a Wirewolf. In his final appearance, he transforms almost all the galaxy into Wirewolf slaves, living only as food for him to feast on until there's nobody left. He successfully takes over Zurg's home world with little effort, and almost kills Buzz. Tellingly, he's the only villain in the show to be Killed Off for Real; he was too dangerous to be left alive.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: A robotic "energy vampire".
- Our Vampires Are Different: He is a robot rather than undead. He feeds off of the energy of other robots and can control machinery he has corrupted. He hates blood, but when a human is in the presence of radioactive moon stone, his bite can turn them into a wirewolf.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Plans to turn every being in the galaxy into Wirewolves so he can feed on all of them.
- Punny Name: His name is leetspeak spelling for Nosferatu.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: He's a villain with red eyes.
- Robotic Undead: He's essentially a robotic vampire, as the name suggests. He can also raise his drained victims as zombies.
- Small Name, Big Ego:NOS-4-A2: Zurg led me to believe you were a foe to be reckoned with. He overestimates you.
Buzz: Leave it to Zurg to create a villain more arrogant than himself! - The Starscream: Zurg created him to attack Star Command and is comparable to a father, but in the end, NOS-4-A2 conquers Zurg's planet to claim his inheritance.
- Terms of Endangerment: He frequently refers to XR as "Little One".
- To the Pain: In "The Slayer", he captures XR and gives this speech, describing what he's going to do to him as revenge for defeating him before."I'm going to drain your energy slowly, so that you feel every amp as it leaves your body. Then, as you're nearly offline, I will recharge you, and do it all over again!"
- Unexplained Recovery: He "died" multiple times but continued to reappear until his final episode, in which Ty Parsec did him in for good.
- Voice Changeling: In his first appearance he fakes a red alert at Star Command by imitating Commander Nebula's voice over the PA system.
- Wooden Stake: Referenced in one of his defeats. Savy SL-R has a device that can drain robots of their energy, but NOS-4-A2 is shielded, so she has to plug it directly into him. Seeing that the port on his chest isn't compatible with her device, Savy uses a rock to hammer it in like a stake.NOS-4-A2: [roars in pain] You could have at least used an adaptor.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: He and XL have a Villain Team-Up. But after converting much of the galaxy into Wirewolves, he threatens to consume XL, prompting a Heel–Face Turn on XL's part.
XL
Voiced by: Bobcat Goldthwait
The LGMs' first attempt at the Experimental Ranger program was a dismal failure, because the resultant robot went insane and started firing at random upon activation. Deactivated, the robot was placed in secure storage and all information on its creation was sealed away. After the formation of Team Lightyear, Emperor Zurg found out about the scrapped prototype and reactivated it. XL promptly went on a crime spree, stealing the most powerful robot components he could acquire in order to build a better body with which to take revenge on Star Command and, especially, his "little brother", XR.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The reason why he was deactivated by Star Command. He was violent and crazy from the start.
- Arch-Enemy: To XR. He takes any chance he can get to destroy his "better" little brother.
- Beta Test Baddie: He was the first attempt at making a robot Space Ranger and is outraged that not only was he rejected, but that they made another to take his place while he gathered dust in storage. All of his plans are to take revenge on his creators and his "little brother" to prove he's the best.
- Big Brother Bully: As Flawed Prototype to XR, he is this both figuratively and literally.
- Cain and Abel: To XR. Since he is XR's prototype, they consider themselves brothers and XL despises him to no end.
- Cardboard Prison: Lampshaded when one of the buttons on his arm is labelled "Break Out of Prison."XR: No wonder he keeps escaping.
- Driven by Envy: The real motivation for all his villainy is his desperate need to prove he's better than the bot that replaced him.
- Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: When NOS-4-A2 not-so-subtly implies he intends to feast on him next, XL desperately tries to justify their continued partnership, such as helping him take over Planet Z, or infiltrate Star Command... only to realize he'd already done all of those things. And NOS-4-A2 is looking at him with hungry intent.
- Evil Counterpart: He's essentially an evil XR.
- Flawed Prototype: Is also this to XR, having been created as part of the LGMs' first attempt to create a robot ranger. Precisely why XL is so crazy compared to XR is completely unknown, and even forms the basis of an episode, where XL captures XR to remove and transplant the one base component that differs between them: the AFD. Which turns to be nothing but an Air Freshening Device, because the LGMs disliked XR's smell.
- Frankenstein's Monster: XL has obvious similiarity to the monster. His body is made of parts from other robots, he has a desire to get revenge on his "father"/prove him wrong, and even being destructive when he doesn't mean too. He also undergoes a fairly sympathetic Heel–Face Turn during "Revenge of the Monsters."
- Genius Ditz: He can build some impressive devices and even come up with some impressive plans, but he's otherwise an idiot.
- Heel–Face Turn: After narrowly avoiding betrayal from NOS-4-A2, he ends up returning to Star Command. His body is remade into a robot printer and he acts as a second robot "son" to Commander Nebula, much to Nebula's exasperation.
- Hollywood Acid: XL's usual left arm ejects a highly corrosive blue acid that can eat through most substances in seconds. It was originally used in melting parts of asteroids for scientific research before XL stole it.
- Hover Bot: Has a floating head, much like his brother.
- Identity Impersonator: In the episode "Head Case", XL abducts XR and forcibly swaps their cranial processing units, allowing him to literally steal XR's identity by stealing XR's body as part of a plan to infiltrate and destroy Star Command.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Whilst XR's name stems from "eXperimental Ranger", we are never told what "XL" stands for.
- Oh, Crap!: In "Revenge of the Monsters", when he realizes that he's reaching the point where NOS-4-A2 will no longer need him.
- Punny Name: XL is a fitting abbreviation for "eXtra Large", a reference to his hulking patchwork body.
- Psycho Prototype: The first thing he did upon activation was go on a rampage in Star Command's lab for no real reason. His mental issues only got worse when he was reactivated years later.
- This Is a Drill: Has a giant, spiked drill in one of his arms.
- The Un-Favourite: To Commander Nebula. While Nebula is unwilling to acknowledge either robot as a son, he still treats XR as a full-fledged member of Star Command and secretly has a soft spot for him. By contrast, he denounces XL as evil, crazy, and inferior.
- Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: The laughable lackey to NOS-4-A2's vile villain in "Revenge of the Monsters". XL is a comical villain while NOS-4-A2 is taken quite seriously by the standards of the villains in this show. They insist to each other they're partners, but it was clear all along who was calling the shots and who was likely to be eaten alive at any moment.
- Villain Team-Up: With NOS-4-A2 in "Revenge of the Monsters". XL believes they're a Big Bad Duumvirate, but it's clear NOS-4-A2 calls the shots and views him as The Dragon at best, a pawn to be discarded once he outlives his usefulness.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Like XR, he wants to prove his worth to Commander Nebula, but in an evil "You were wrong about me" way.
Torque
Voiced by: Brad Garrett
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: He's wanted in all sectors. His crimes include Terrorism, Smuggling, Arson, and Unpaid Parking Tickets.
- Badass Biker: A space version, riding a spacecraft shaped like a motorcycle.
- Badass Longcoat: A key part of his outfit is his brown duster, which he wears most of the time.
- Brainwashing for the Greater Good: He ends up in a prison that was attempting to do this. He manages to use the brainwashing device on Buzz to turn him evil. When XR is tasked with fixing Buzz and has trouble reaching him, he uses the device on one of the Torques, giving him Buzz Lightyear's personality and resulting in him saving the day.
- Expendable Clone: One Torque always survives, but it isn't uncommon for the others to get completely disintegrated.
- Expy: He's a Badbutt version of Lobo, being a Badass Biker with a bad attitude, his head spikes which resemble Lobo's hair, a loose counterpart to Lobo's Healing Factor (his duplication device) and so on. Fittingly, his voice actor also voiced the DC Animated Universe version of Lobo.
- Extra Eyes: He has five of them.
- Me's a Crowd: Zurg painfully integrates him with a device that allows him to create copies of himself.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Has an extra pair of arms, which he usually hides under his jacket for surprise attacks.
Gravitina
Voiced by: Kerri Kenney-Silver
- Abhorrent Admirer: She is head over heels for Buzz Lightyear, but he constantly rejects her advances due to her villainess nature and aggresively pursuing him.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: After Buzz kept rejecting her, she tried to hook up with Evil Buzz from the Alternate Universe, but he was just using her. In the end, Evil Buzz abandons her to her death while Buzz ends up being the one to save her, resulting in her hoping he can act more naughty in the future.
- Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: The Gravity Master has a super-huge head shaped like a planet, and the powers apparently stem from the head being so big.
- Butter Face: Downplayed. She has a curvatious figure and a lovely face. Her oversized cranium makes it difficult to focus on these, though.
- Freudian Excuse: Gravitina is evil because she's been driven mad by people mocking her oversized head and involuntary expressions of power.
- Gravity Master: The Mistress of Mass, and all of its attractions. She can control gravity waves, hence the name.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: Teal-skinned, and quite attractive if you overlook the grossly oversized, spherical cranium.
- Ms. Fanservice: G-rated version, but she does tend to be the most suggestive female character in the show and has the most revealing outfit.
- Murder the Hypotenuse: Metaphorically phrased her plan to destroy Star Command as this when Buzz said that the "other woman" in his heart was Star Command.
- My Brain Is Big: Gravitina's head is ridiculously round and swollen which is the source of her gravitational power— it even has its own personal ring to further the resemblance to a planetoid.
- Power Incontinence: Gravitina can't fully control her powers, and has a tendency to accidentally "pick up" things with her natural gravitational field. The negative reactions this engendered, combined with the teasing over her oversized head, are what drove her to villainy.
- Squishy Wizard: Her gravity powers are immense, but she is all but helpless in a fight if she can't rely on them.
- Villainous Crush: Has an unrequited crush on Buzz Lightyear, and once bestows her powers on him to try and get him to reciprocate.
- What the Hell Is That Accent?: It sounds like a mix of Russian, French, and German.
Evil Buzz Lightyear
Voiced by: Patrick Warburton
An evil version of Buzz Lightyear from a Mirror Universe where he became a galactic conqueror instead of a heroic space ranger.
- Beard of Evil: Sports a blue goatee. Gravatina makes note of it and finds it lovely.
- Darker and Edgier: His entire universe is this. It's shown he has the Grubs and Brainpods under his command but unlike Zurg's, they are noticeably devoid of their counterparts' goofy and cowardly nature and more aggressive.
- Decomposite Character: Although in Real Life the Zurg from Lightyear is a Composite Character of Evil Buzz and Zurg, in Toy Story canon Lightyear came first. Accordingly, Evil Buzz takes elements of that Zurg in that he's an evil version of Buzz, albeit from a Mirror Universe and not a future timeline.
- Disney Death: Twice. After being blown up and dropped into the sun, somehow he finds a way to get out.
- Evil Counterpart: He is a version of Buzz who became Emperor of Evil.
- Knight of Cerebus: The moment Evil Buzz enters the picture, the show suddenly takes a turn into Darker and Edgier territory. Not only has he conquered his universe through absolute subjugation and genocide, he also manages to take over the main universe's Star Command in a single surprise attack.
- Never Found the Body: Buzz have this opinion since the last time he thought his evil doppelganger perished.
- No-Nonsense Nemesis: Unlike Zurg. While Zurg was willing to ignore Buzz's team due to their leader's imprisonment in another universe, Evil Buzz refuses to allow even a single space ranger to live. It's easy to see this is how he managed to conquer his universe so swiftly.
- Omnicidal Maniac: The Evil Buzz has Gravatina release sun quakes all over the Galaxy to kill billions of lives.
- The Real Remington Steele: He at one point steals Buzz's Shiv Katall identity for himself.
- Villain of Another Story: By the time we first meet him, he's conquered his universe in brutal fashion.
- You Killed My Father: The alternate Mira reveals the Evil Buzz gunned down King Nova. It's also implied that he killed Booster's parents.
Norbert Klerm
Voiced by: Mitchell Whitfield
The CEO of Comp U Klerm, who though not quite a villain is still a danger to Star Command.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: He runs a company called Comp U Klerm and is often obsessed with wiping out Star Command.
- Evil Redhead: He has red hair and isn't very nice.
- Psychopathic Manchild: He tends to behave very childishly and often indulges in juvenile taunting.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivered to Klerm by Zurg, who really wasn't impressed with Klerm's plan to entertain himself by having Buzz and Zurg fight.Zurg: Little man, I tire of this entire exercise.
- Villain Ball: In "The Main Event", he prevents Zurg from easily killing Buzz not because he doesn't want Buzz to lose, but because he doesn't like fights that end too quickly.
Gargantian Militants
Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson (Tremendor), Charlie Fleischer (Monumentus)
Tremendor, leader of the militants
- Dirty Communists: They fit many of the stereotypes of Cold War-era socialist-communists in a Western capitalistic nation: an underground militia of radical terrorists, seeking to overthrow the free society of Gargantia in a violent revolution and impose their own tyranny, opposition to businesses seeking to spread capitalistic luxury, jingoistic xenophobia and constantly shouting "Hail Gargantia!"
- Manipulative Bastard: The Militants frame Buzz and trick him into believing that they were posing as the Galactic President with the goal that the former Space Ranger would assassinate for them. Thankfully, Buzz figures out the ruse on time.
- Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: They claim to want to regain Gargantia's independence but it's all a front to hide their tyrannical nature and letting peace happened means that they cannot torment others weaker than them like they used to.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: They are merely the size of action figures but they can still pack a wallop against the Space Rangers because they use their small sizes to their advantage. When Buzz and Booster are shrunk to the militants' size, the latter group are completely overpowered.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Tremendor always rant in long-winded sentences which confuses all of his subordinates.
The Chlorm
A trio of alien mad scientists who view all other life forms as inferior.
- Above Good and Evil: They see themselves as this hence their attempts to study Buzz and Warp to figure out which is better good or evil.
- Dramatically Missing the Point: When Buzz tells them the conscience isn’t a part of the brain they decide to cut Buzz and Warp open to find where it is located.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Eon has qualms about experimenting on his own species unlike Era.
- Fantastic Racism: Eon regularly calls Team Lightyear “lesser beings”. In fact, the Chlorms view all other species as this.
- Token Good Teammate: Eon is Affably Evil and has standards about hurting his own kind that the others don’t.
- Theme Naming: Their names are Era, Epoch and Eon.
Varg
Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson
A Raenok bounty hunter.
- Blood Knight: All the Raenoks are like this, but they still are quite intelligent.
- Starfish Language: The Raenoks seem to have their own language in "The Main Event", but for the rest of their appearances, they speak perfect English.
Recurring Characters
The President of the Galactic Alliance
The President of the Galactic Alliance
Voiced by: Roz Ryan
A two-mouthed female alien and the duly-elected leader of the free universe.
- No Name Given: We only know her as the President.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: She has a tendency to shout and can be overbearing at times, but is generally a fair-minded and intelligent leader.
- Sassy Black Woman: Well, actually green, but the principle is the same.
- Too Many Mouths: She has two mouths, one above the other, and can speak with either one, as well as use both at the same time (see Voice of the Legion below).
- Voice of the Legion: Occasional and non-evil example. She sometimes speaks with both mouths at the same time, usually when yelling or emphasizing a particular word of her sentence.
Crumford Lorak
Crumford Lorak
Voiced by: Jon Favreau
A sleazy resident of Tradeworld that Team Lightyear sometimes goes to for information.- Con Man: He likes to trick people out of their money. One notable example is in "The Return of XL", where he tricks XR into giving him money for the whereabouts of the Fixer and calls him a "sucker" after doing so.
- Fangs Are Evil: He has highly variegated dentition, with pointy fangs scattered seemingly randomly among his other teeth. And while sometimes helpful, he is definitely a dishonest and morally corrupt character.
- Gonk: He is one butt-ugly alien.
- The Informant: He's typically the one our heroes turn to when they need information about illegal activities and criminals that have gone into hiding.
- Most Definitely Not a Villain: When impersonating the Bathyosian senator in "The Yukari Imprint". Honestly, it's amazing nobody was suspicious.Crumford: After all, I-I am the senator! That's me, Senator Banda! Wh-wh-when people say "Where's Senator Banda?" I say "Right here!" 'cause that's who I am, the senator!...Banda.
- Wild Card: He helps the villains and heroes alike as long as they either bribe or intimidate him enough. His only loyalty is to himself.
Dr. Ozma Furbanna
Dr. Ozma Furbanna
Voiced by: Linda Hamilton
An antisocial biologist with a chip on her shoulder who studies the predatory animals inhabiting the planet Karn. Ends up becoming Buzz's primary, recurring love interest.
- Animal Lover:She loves all animals, even or rather especially if they're lethal. It makes for an interesting career at least.
- Animal Wrongs Group: A one-person version of this. Her desire to study endangered dangerous animals on Karn superseded any desire to help others since, in her own words, she's not a "people" person. She tries to help Zurg rebirth an entire species of invulnerable galaxy-destroying acid-spewing bugs simply because they are close to extinction and she wants to protect them.
- Better with Non-Human Company: She cares about even the deadliest of predators, but tends to come off as being callously indifferent when sapient beings are in danger.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: She warms up to Buzz the more they interact.
- Dude Magnet: She got the attention of Buzz, XR, and even Booster in her first appearance.
- Hartman Hips: She has wide hips.
- Heroic Neutral: Her real loyalty is to the conservation of dangerous animals on her planet. Anything else is secondary. The only reason she helps as much as she does is that the heroes' goals tend to align with hers much more than the villains do.
- Nightmare Fetishist: She often sported a look of absolute joy and ecstasy as she talked about or commented on the habits of horrific creatures she was interested in.
- Opposites Attract: With Buzz. Buzz has feelings for her even though her intentions of preserving the ecosystem at all costs clashes with his desire to save anyone in danger.
- Powered Armor: She uses an armored suit to survive in the jungle. She can hold her own against any danger.
- Skewed Priorities: The aforementioned galaxy destroying acid spewing murderbugs mentioned above? She was afraid for them rather than the Capital Planet citizenry they were attempting to eat. Later, while on a rescue mission, she ruins it and nearly costs Mira and the President their lives... because she was worried about a monster that just ate her and Buzz, and it's offspring. Buzz even calls her on it.
Cosmo
Cosmo
Voiced by: Paul Rugg
The proprietor of the diner that Team Lightyear frequents.- Artificial Limbs: His left hand appears to be cybernetic.
- Innocently Insensitive: He doesn't seem to realize bringing up Mira's embarrassing loss of the Starthought to Zurg might be a bad idea until she shoots his TV.
- Supreme Chef: At the very least, it's amazing how he can fix up multiple customer's orders all at once.
Sally
Sally
some caption text
Voiced by: Kerri Kenny
Cosmo's cute alien waitress that works at his diner.
- Cat Girl: Her species isn't outright named, but the shape of her head and her eyes give off this vibe.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: Yellow-skinned, actually and quite the cute one. Especially when Buzz blushes when they talked sometimes.
- Multiarmed Multitasking: Her race has four upper arms which for being a waitress, greatly helps Sally in carrying many ordered meals or other tasks around the diner.
Ed
Ed
Voiced by: Paul Rugg
A courier who has the uncanny ability to track down Buzz Lightyear and deliver his packages to him.
- Character Catchphrase: "Have a nice solar cycle!"
- Courier: Sometimes even called "Ed the Courier", and seemingly the only one in the entire galaxy, as he's used for deliveries even by the villainous XL and the Always Chaotic Evil Raenoks.
- Noodle Incident: From the episode "Tag Team", when explaining why he needs a DNA sample from Buzz before he can give him his package:"New policy. A lot of evil hologrammic activity going on lately! Oh yeah, you ain't the only one who deals with villains!"
- Unstoppable Mailman: No matter where the client may be, whether in space or on Tradeworld, Ed will find them and give them their packages.
King Nova
King Nova
Voiced by: John O'Hurley
Ruler of Tangea, and Mira's father. It was under his rule that Tangea finally joined the Galactic Alliance, though not without grumbling from many - including King Nova, who was uninterested in affairs beyond his homeworld until Zurg attacked the planet.
- Fantastic Racism: Like most Tangeans he sees himself as a superior being. As the show goes on, he begins to lose this.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: At least in the early episodes in which he views all non-Tangeans as inferior creatures, and often expresses open disdain for Mira's "primitive" comrades. He also openly disapproves of her involvement with the Space Rangers. But ultimately, he really does love his daughter and wants what's best for her.
- Helicopter Parents: He cares deeply for his daughter and only wants what's best for her. The problem is, his idea of "what's best for her" includes her being treated as royalty, even by Star Command, in spite of Mira's own insistence that she's a space ranger first and a princess a very distant second, so he's constantly trying to meddle in order to get her special treatment.
- Pride: His greatest flaw, shared with most of the Tangean Royals.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: His actions in "Planet Destroyer" and "Supernova" confirm that he's willing to take action whenever lives are at stake.
Brent Starkisser
Brent Starkisser
Voiced by: Corey Burton
A news anchor who occasionally appears.
- Character Catchphrase: "LIVE!"
- Intrepid Reporter: Though he doesn't fit the typical image, he does go to extremely hostile Raenok to cover the hostage crisis, and doesn't blink an eye at being punted face-first into a wall by Varg.
- Luke Nounverber: Yeah.
- Perpetual Smiler: He's constantly grinning.
- Recurring Extra: He usually serves as an insignificant background character.
- Small Role, Big Impact: In the episode "Dirty Work", he appears promoting the experimental Kitchen Flux 5000 on TV, leading Cosmo to order it, which in turn leads to NOS-4-A2 almost absorbing Star Command and causing an intergalactic war.
Sheriff
Voiced by: Stephen Root
The local sheriff of Roswell.
- The Greys: Roswellians look like cute, cartoonish Greys (albeit with green skin).
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Unlike the military, the Sheriff can tell the Space Rangers are friendly and tries to help them escape.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: He could have been like everyone else who fear the Rangers but instead helps them escape because he knows it's the right thing to do.
Becky
Voiced by: Russi Taylor
The sheriff of Roswell's daughter.
- Children Are Innocent: She's sweet, caring and just outright adorable. No wonder Booster was so endeared to her.
- Expy: Given her appearance, she seems to be based on Webby from DuckTales (1987). The actress who plays Becky also plays Webby as well.
- Hidden Depths: Turns out following her first appearance, she has developed remarkable technical expertise when she rigs communication to Boosters galaxies away. Of course, Booster may have taught her how to do it but it's still accomplishment one for her age.
- Shirley Template: Fits the bill with her blonde curly hair, pink dress & bow.
Dr. Animus
Voiced by: Tony Jay
- Fiery Redhead: He sports a most impressive set of eyebrows above his glasses and an even more impressive mustache. The fiery redhead part is subverted however by his calm personality.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His mannerisms and voice are based on that of Sigmund Freud.
One-Shot Characters
Petra Hammerhold
Petra Hammerhold
Voiced by: Nikki Cox
Senator Hammerhold's daughter.
- Bratty Teenage Daughter: Of a prominent senator, though she does get better over the course of the episode, as her obnoxious behavior is largely due to her father shipping her off to Military School just to keep her away from her boyfriend.
- Dating What Daddy Hates: For some reason, her father is strongly against her relationship with Plasma Boy, which is why he's sending her to Star Command.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: Petra could pass for a human, if not for her green skin and a pair of antennae sticking out of her hair.
- Deadpan Snarker: Very much so.Petra: Nice costume.
Buzz: Ahhh, not a costume. The Pulsar 400 envirosuit and battle armour strong enough to withstand any blast short of a supernova. You'll be issued one at the academy.
Petra: Great. Does it come with a secret decoder ring? - Expy: Of Marvel Comics character Mantis.
- Fat and Skinny: The skinny to Booster's fat.
- Interspecies Romance: With Plasma Boy, one her father strenuously objects to.
- One-Shot Character: "The Plasma Monster" is her only episode appearance.
Romac
Voiced by: David James Elliott
- The Atoner: Romac promises to Mira that he'll right his wrongs in an effort to win her back.
- Bounty Hunter: Romacs' profession, he's good enough to not only get his quarry away from Star Command and Buzz Lightyear, but also escape Zurgs' clutches with said quarry.
- Heel–Face Turn: With a push from his quarry, Brainpod 57, Romac turns against Zurg.
- Honor Before Reason: Romac's philosophy. He can't quit a job until it's done even if it meant opposing his former girlfriend much to his chagrin.
- Star-Crossed Lovers: Romac's a Tangean Grounder and Mira's a Tangean Royal. So, a lot of people, especially King Nova would not be happy with this union.
Bonnie Lepton
Voiced by: Tara Strong
An old friend of Buzz. She only appears in "Eye of the Tempest".

- Mad Scientist: He was a brilliant scientist in the past, that is until the crystals he experimented on drove him mad. Oh, and he proudly admits he's a madman.
- Papa Wolf: Sure, Von Madman's a mad scientist who hates Buzz and wants to kill him, or at least keep Bonnie away from him, but in the end he still cares about her.
