Buzz Lightyear

“To infinity and beyond!”

—{{{2}}}

Buzz Lightyear is the main character of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. He is Star Command's most famous Space Ranger and has the reputation of always triumphing over evil. He was first introduced in The Adventure Begins and has appeared in a total of 62 episodes (not including the pilot). He is voiced by Tim Allen in the DVD and VHS release of the pilot and by Patrick Warburton throughout the rest of the series.

History

Background

Little is known about Buzz's childhood besides the fact that he was born on the planet Morph, located in the Gamma Quadrant in Sector 4. He grew up hearing all about Star Command and always wanted to be a Space Ranger. He was most likely raised by his grandmother, Nana Lightyear, seeing as she is the only relative he has ever mentioned, never having spoken of his mother or father.

Characteristics

Buzz is a well-built human male somewhere in his forties. He sports a broad chest and large feet, as is common in the style of animation the series follows, but also has a larger-than-average chin adorned with a characteristic swirl. He has large, round eyes that appear black in the show but are in fact light blue like his Toy Story counterpart. His precise hair color is unknown because he never removes his purple thermal hood, but it could either be brown (as shown by the color of the swirl on his chin and his eyebrows in Toy Story) or dark blue, as depicted by Evil Buzz Lightyear's beard.

Personality

Buzz is a one-dimensional individual. Despite being socially awkward, however, he is an honest man and a hard-worker. He believes that diligence pays off, and that taking short cuts often times leads to complications. He's a man by the book, and also the man that wrote the book; he wrote over half of the Space Ranger Mission Manual. He is not comfortable with lying most of the times, but he does tell a cover story in the aptly-named episode Little Secrets.

Buzz also apparently gets "cranky" when he isn't the "center of attention", as relayed by his elder self in Good Ol' Buzz.

Abilities

Under construction.

Trivia

• Buzz was named after Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, and his last name was intentionally space-related because of him being a Space Ranger.
• Buzz's house on Capital Planet is based off of an old Disneyland attraction from the 1960s called House of the Future.
