Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story)

Buzz Lightyear is the deuteragonist of Pixar's franchise.
He is a spaceman action figure, with pop-up wings, laser light flash, multi-sound voice simulator, wrist communicator, karate-chop action, and open-able space helmet and one of the toys owned by Andy Davis and later Bonnie Anderson. He is Woody's best friend and former rival. He is the second-in-command of Andy's toys & he's Jessie's boyfriend. In the universe of Toy Story he is based on a space ranger, who alongside his crew of Star Command rangers defends the galaxy against evil plots hatched by the Evil Emperor Zurg.

==Physical Appearance==
Buzz physically appears as a slender spaceman action figure likely made of ABS or durable plastic, he has blue eyes, a purple hood, and mint green (that has the ability to glow in the dark), white and purple spacesuit with a jetpack on his back complete with pop up wings, laser light flash, multi-sound voice simulator, a flapping wrist communicator with a sticker decal (which he would later peel off and scrunch up after finally knowing he is a toy at Sid's house), karate-chop action, and open-able space helmet.
==Personality==
Like Woody, Buzz's personality changes throughout the series.
In the first Toy Story, Buzz was a birthday gift to Andy, who meets Woody and the other toys, but Buzz was extremely clueless and believed he was a real space ranger and not a toy, which irritates Woody, and because of this, he believed he could do anything a real space ranger could do, such as flying and using his "laser", which was actually only a light bulb. Due to their different opinions, as well as Woody's huge jealousy towards Buzz, the two toys weren't in good relations at first.
However, after discovering the truth about him being a toy while watching a TV commercial for Buzz Lightyear toys in Sid's house, his personality changed completely. He became depressed that he never cared that he might die when Sid strapped him to a rocket. But after Woody tells Buzz being a toy is important, he begins to understand his role as a toy and develops a friendship with Woody. They worked together to stop Sid from destroying them, and got back to Andy, becoming best friends in the process.
Despite that Buzz became more smart now he knows he’s a toy, he still seems to be a bit clueless to human cultures, as he calls smores "schmoes" and Hawaii "Hei-wei-aii".
Buzz is also notably in love with Jessie. In the second film, Buzz is shown to have feelings for Jessie, as he complements her hair (calling it a hair full of yarn), to which Jessie calls him the sweetest space toy she's ever met. Buzz also gets surprised when Jessie successfully opens the door to help Buster go to the bathroom, as shown from his wings popping out automatically. Their relationship is explored further in the third film. Buzz is still shy around Jessie, but he is not afraid to comfort her when she panics about being abandoned by Andy. Even when he got switched into his demo mode, Buzz calls Jessie a "temptress" and tells her that he was immune to her "bewitching good looks". In his Spanish mode, Buzz becomes completely romantic towards Jessie. Later, when Lotso leaves the toys to die in the incinerator, Jessie asks Buzz what they should do, to which Buzz responds by silently holding Jessie's hand. After the toys were saved by the Little Green Men, Buzz and Jessie were the only ones still holding hands. Finally, in the ending, the two do a romantic paso double.
After realizing he's just a toy, Buzz becomes far more level-headed, to the point he often helps Woody lead the other toys as his second-in-command and guide them whenever they're unsure about what to do. He also becomes very loyal to them and Andy, best shown when he spearheads a rescue mission to save Woody, but ultimately convinces him to return with them even though he initially let his paranoia and insecurity make him reluctant to do so. 
Like Woody, he is also reliable when it comes to looking out for others and rescuing them in their time of need and has both a strong sense of honor and forgiveness. The former is best seen when he is given the chance to be personally transferred to the Butterfly Room it Sunnyside Daycare in Toy Story 3 where he could be handled by more mature and responsible kids but decided if he couldn't if it meant leaving his friends in the Caterpillar Room since as family, they stuck together, and the latter is demonstrated when he helps Woody save Lotso despite all the horrible things he had done, including brainwashing him.
Despite generally showing a decent level of intelligence and level-headedness, Buzz can still be quite dense when it comes to certain concepts. For example, in Toy Story 4, he's completely oblivious to the concept of an inner conscience when Woody explains it to him, and starts thinking that his own voice commands are his own inner conscience.

*A parody of Buzz Lightyear appeared in the MAD episode The Buzz Identity/Two and A Half-Man.
*Buzz was voiced by Tim Allen in the films and Patrick Warburton (who also played Joe Swanson) in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.
*Buzz was originally going to be voiced by Billy Crystal (who would later voice Mike Wazowski in Monsters Inc and Monsters University).
*Buzz makes a cameo and was mentioned on the 2 Vicky & Jewel episodes Jesus Hates You and Sue My Pants.
*Buzz's spacesuit was originally going to be red instead of green, white and purple.
*Buzz's concept art started out as Tinny from the Pixar Short film, Tin Toy.
*Along with Woody, Rex and Potato Head, Buzz is one of the four characters to appear in all four films, shorts and the TV special Toy Story of TERROR! and Toy Story: That Time Forgot.
*As time moved on, Buzz's green colour alongside the purple got slightly different shades.
*In the French dubs of Toy Story media, his name is Buzz Leclair.
*Buzz Lightyear, along with Woody, was going to be one of Sora's summons in the role-playing video game Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, but was scrapped because Square Enix had not yet claimed the rights to Pixar properties, although a complete model of him without any textures was found in the game's code. Later, the D23 trailer of Kingdom Hearts III showed a new world based on Toy Story, where Woody and Buzz become Sora's party members to find and save Andy Davis at Galaxy Toys before Young Xehanort does. It is the first instance of a Pixar-based Kingdom Hearts world.
*Buzz makes a cameo appearance in Ralph Breaks the Internet.
*Buzz surfing on the toy car ramp to help Woody get up in Toy Story 2 looks very identical to what he did to prove to Woody and the other toys that he can fly in Toy Story.
*Buzz yelling "YOU ARE A TOY!" at Woody at Al's apartment in Toy Story 2 is very similar to what Woody had said to Buzz while he and Buzz were still stranded at the gas station in Toy Story.
*Earlier versions of Toy Story 2 would have Buzz Lightyear himself obtaining a Utility belt from Ultra Buzz 2000 (who would become Utility Belt Buzz in the final film and retained his utility belt, albeit the former was trying to take his Utility Belt when he didnt know he was alive then causing him to wake up the latter) whom gifted it to him after defeating Emperor Zurg in Al's Toy Barn. 
*It would be physically impossible for his helmet to be retracting all the way inside his body, with the mechanisim and electronics in the way alongside the battery compartment in its position, this is the reason why the real life toy versions of him have his helmet only being aple to open half way. And due to the large size of his wings, his karate chop action mechanisim also doesnt make much sense as the large wings would block it. He was, however, included with the gimmick in the toy released by Disney Store and has its wings thinner to make way for the feature.
* According to the concept arts for the original version of Toy Story 3, and Zurg's box when Buzz runs over it before waking him in Toy Story 2, his toy line seems to be produced by a company under the name Wacka Wacka Toys.
*While he was hit by a giant wave of water from the overflowing bath at the end of Partysaurus Rex, his electronics still function, which likely means he is waterproof.
*His toy-mode facial expressions changed throughout the films, it's unknown why Andy seemingly didn't pay attention to this.
*In the Japanese dub of the film, he is voiced by .
*He is currently the only major human-based toy in Andy's collection to not be the sole official leader himself for any collection of toys like him (although, he did temporarily lead some of Andy's other toys for the mission to rescue Woody in Toy Story 2).
**Woody was the original leader of Andy's toys, where he would continue such duty as one of Bonnie's toys (alongside Dolly) before retiring it.
**Bo Peep has been revealed to be leading other "lost toys" like her from the carnival ever since her donation from being Molly's toy.
**Jessie became the new leader of Bonnie's toys after Woody retired his leading position for them.
