Emperor Zurg

Emperor Zurg is a reccuring villain in The Heart Commandos. Despite being called emperor, he is actually a commander of a subsidiary of NESTS of Mexico called Tienda de regalos de Papá Noel (Santa Claus' Gift Shop in English), which ironically sells drugs and weapons illegaly as part of a plan by NESTS of Mexico's CEO and drug lord, Juan Dores, in exchange for more resources into developing advanced cloning technology for themselves and more stronger weapons. He originates from Toy Story 2.
==Story==
Prior to become an evil cyborg, Zurg used be human and was a talented American actor named Dean Alan, famous for his role as Deen in the popular sitcom House Improver, as well as playing Buzz Lightyear in the live-action adventure show Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, which ran from 1996 to 2002 on the popular kids channel, Flower House, through a collaboration with Disney and Pixar. Multiple critics, including the late Roger Ebert, gave the character positive reviews, some favor him as a great role model for kids, like Confiance, who was a fan of the show growing up.
After the aformentioned show was cancelled due to low ratings, Dean's career starts to decline following a messy divorce and his controversal political opinion on former US president George H. W. Bush. In 2004 though, he was killed in a car crash while driving back to his house after grocery by a drunk driver. He was buried in the California cemetary.
16 years later, the agents of NESTS dig out his grave and brought his corpse to the facility room, where he was revived and mechanized by giving him an armor based on the main antagonist from the show played by the late Jamie El Johnny, thus the reason why he speaks in a British accent and a similar personality. The reason they chose Dean is never revealed, though it is speculated that his father, Jerad Deek Alan, allegedly worked for NESTS during the late 60's and the mid 70's.
==Personality==
Zurg is a threatning robot with a prestige and philosophical personality, who makes self-aware remarks with anyone he encounters. When working at the division, he pretends to be a jolly person with his customers, when his underlings already knew that he is actually evil.
==Abilities==
Zurg has a weapon build up on his left arm called the Ion Blaster, which shoots multiple projectiles at a rapid-fire pace. The projectiles themselves can also be explosives. Additionally, he can fly using his feet double as rockets. Most of his minions are small bug-like robots called the Grubs, low-ranking "falcons", and large robots called Hornets, with Brain Pods being used to be scientists and weapon crafters.

Jones, who voiced Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise, with the character himself serving as the main inspiration for Zurg.
