Rocket Crocket

“What's the matter, Mira? Do I make you nervous?”

—{{{2}}}

Rocket Crockett (also spelled Rocket Crocket) is a Space Ranger who shares an adversary relationship with Buzz Lightyear.

Physical Appearance

Although Rocket is not as muscular as others, he is quicker and more agile than most. He sports closely-shaven black hair atop a long face and a pointed chin.

History

Not much is known about Rocket's past or how he became a Space Ranger, but what is known about him is that he has shared a rivalry with Buzz for quite some time.

The first time he is introduced is when he visits Buzz and his team when they are on traffic duty to bask in the glory of catching Torque when his transport was ambushed by Hornets. After Team Lightyear catches Torque, Rocket is assigned to traffic duty instead, much to his chagrin.

The next time we see him, he and his team, Team Rocket, compete with Team Lightyear in what looks like a game of space capture the flag. He tricks Mira Nova into leaving her team and teases her about her royal treatment when her father gives her the Starthought, although not in an unkind way. Later, though, when he, his team, Team Lightyear and the other Space Rangers go to fight Hornets in an asteroid field, his ship is hit by asteroids and was about to be attacked by Hornets, but Mira came in to save him and his team. He was very impressed by her abilities to fight them off and for controlling the Starthought, but very quickly covered up his praise by acting unimpressed.

Personality

Cocky, arrogant and over-confident, like most Space Rangers he hates being in Buzz Lightyear's shadow, and never passes an opportunity to gloat when he has a better mission than Buzz. He also hates doing mundane tasks, like realigning satellite dishes.

However, whenever someone does something incredible, as in the case of Mira in "The Starthought", he shows incredible enthusiasm and support, before covering it up with an aloof manner.

Despite his arrogance, he is still a good Space Ranger, doing his part to fight off any invaders, as in the case of "Millennial Bugs".
