'''Zurg''' is [[Buzz Lightyear|Buzz Lightyear's]] arch-nemesis. His main goal is to destroy [[Star Command]] and the [[Galactic Alliance]], and to conquer and rule over the galaxy. However, [[Team Lightyear]] continuously thwarts his plans.

==Physical Appearance==
Zurg has red eyes and neon greenish-yellow teeth (though this appears to be part of his helmet), and always wears the same purple armor. When he speaks, his tone fluctuates often.

It isn't quite known what species Evil Emperor Zurg is, but he is seen holding a cup of water, trying to eat popcorn, and also shown coming back from recently using the restroom, which may rule out him being a robot. He does have feet, once stating that he owns a pair of rocket boots to which he "got on sale".

==History==
[[File:BLOSC Clip-Psych!|thumb|right|225px|The moment everyone was waiting for...and it turned out to be a hoax.]]Just as we know next to nothing about [[Nebula|Commander Nebula]]'s backstory, neither do we know how Zurg became an Evil Emperor. He owns a vastly powerful, sinister empire that constantly threatens the sanctity of the galaxy and the Galactic Alliance. It is also not shown what planets he possesses, but it is apparent that he owns several; such as the mining planet in "[[Shiv Katall (episode) |Shiv Katall]]".

In one episode, "[[Stranger Invasion]]", he told Buzz Lightyear that he was his father; however, this was a ploy to distract Buzz, which led to Zurg taking the upper hand. He was quick to pass off the claim as a "Made You Look" scheme.

==Personality==
[[File:The Not-So-Evil Emperor Zurg|thumb|right|249 px]]Evil Emperor Zurg is not your usual despicably evil supervillain. Despite being the most evil, nefarious villain of the galaxy for years on end and a constant thorn in the side of Star Command, Zurg has been known to take himself less than seriously, and actually seems to have a well-developed (if demented) sense of humor.

His evil schemes are routinely less-than-stellar in design (such as one scheme to make children afraid to eat their vegetables so that years later they would be too weak to fight when he invades...a plan which only Buzz thought clever), and he is quick to shunt the blame for failures onto others' shoulders (usually his [[Grub]]s or [[Brain Pod]]s).

His main downfall whenever fighting against Buzz Lightyear, his nemesis, is the trademark error of every villain: the gloating monologue. Because of this, Zurg has never won out of the 3,247 times <ref name="Book">[[The Good, the Bad, and the Robotic]]</ref> he's tried.

He has a strange fear of being touched, mentioning something about "personal space" and "cooties" in the episodes "[[The Torque Armada]]" and "[[The Main Event]]"'''.'''

[[File:BLoSC Clip - "Thank You For Calling The Evil Emperor Zurg"-0|thumb|right|265px]]He is also somewhat picky about his schemes, claiming when politicians were being kidnapped that he would never do something "so obvious."

==Abilities==
*He has laser vision, but rarely uses it in battle, and seems to use it when losing his temper. Whether this is a species trait or an artificial enhancement is left to the imagination of the viewer.
*Zurg's signature weapon is an Ion-blaster with three pipes. Zurg uses this often, and seems skilled with it, stating at one point that the secret is to squeeze, not pull the trigger, showing he knows well how to use this weapon.
*He also has gauntlets which can transform into weapons (a la [[Warp Darkmatter]]'s right arm) as seen in "[[Holiday Time]]" and "[[The Main Event]]".

===[[The Adventure Begins]]===
*"That's just jim-crackin'-dandy!"

===[[Stress Test]]===
*"Hold your fire. Don't damage the ''HYPER DEATH RAY''!"

==Trivia==
*Zurg's species is an issue of much debate in the [[Fandom|fandom]]. The four predominant theories are that he is either a ''human'', a ''robot'', a ''cyborg'', or an ''alien''. To this day there is no concrete answer, but there is theoretically enough evidence to rule out Zurg being a ''robot'' due to his eating and sleeping habits.
*While it may not be obvious, Zurg is afraid of the dark.<ref name="The Adventure Begins">{{Episode ref|00}}</ref>
*When enslaving the people of [[Roswell]], Zurg states that he is an "''Equal Opportunity enslaver" ''a parody of ''"equal opportunity employer."''
