Although an aging [[human]], Nebula is well-built, with a broad chest and shoulders. He has medium tan skin, a large chin, and a large gray mustache and gray eyebrows. He is never seen without his thermal hood. His mustache occasionally mirrors his mood by curling or prickling whenever he is agitated. His left leg was cut off at the knee at some unknown point, and has been replaced by a peg leg which doubles as a plasma cannon. His attire is typical of all [[Space Ranger]]s, with the only exception being a large golden Star Command emblem as the chest plate.

And that's an order!

—Nebula, punctuating his words

Zeb Nebula, more commonly referred to as Commander Nebula, is the head and founder[2] of Star Command and Buzz's superior. He is best known for his gritty voice, lack of tolerance, and no-nonsense attitude. 

Physical description

Although an aging human, Nebula is well-built, with a broad chest and shoulders. He has medium tan skin, a large chin, and a large gray mustache and gray eyebrows. He is never seen without his thermal hood. His mustache occasionally mirrors his mood by curling or prickling whenever he is agitated. His left leg was cut off at the knee at some unknown point, and has been replaced by a peg leg which doubles as a plasma cannon. His attire is typical of all Space Rangers, with the only exception being a large golden Star Command emblem as the chest plate.

History

In the past, Nebula assumed the role of undercover bounty hunter Shiv Katall, and smuggled defecting minions from Evil Emperor Zurg into the Galactic Alliance. However, he later passed on the role to Buzz Lightyear, though whether it was due to old age or the loss of his leg is unclear.

Personality and traits

He does not have tolerance for insubordination, though he has the grace to admit when he's made a bad call. It's worth mentioning that Nebula can act like a stern father figure to his Rangers when he needs to, whether he's keeping them out of danger or talking some sense into them. He does have a warm side deep down, and is very proud of his Rangers when they do a good job. He even calls Buzz "son" occasionally, and this has extended to other Rangers as well.

It's also noted that Nebula hates robots, but he does seem to be lightening up to them, slowly accepting XR and XL into the Star Command community.
