The Commander

Commander Uderick Michelle Xander, commonly referred to simply as the Commander, or just Commander, is one of the most popular characters of the series.
== Biography ==
He is not bright, but he can be clever. He likes to bother or disobey Space Tree sometimes. In the earlier episodes, he wanted to drink Beer, despite the fact that he's 17 years old (apparently, drinking at the age of 17 is forbidden in Space). Assuming that Space Tree episodes take place during the dates that they were originally uploaded (which they seem to), then the Commander was likely born in 1987.
These days, he does whatever he wants to or does whatever Space Tree wants him to do. He is currently being trained to become a Space Admiral, and has been for the past five years (though the training usually takes three weeks.) He had a girlfriend named Pinkfrosting88 who he met online, but he broke up with her once she stole his ship and later started being Mee's and Allon's crime partner.
He has had several schemes, like dressing Space Tree up in women's clothes so he could get a free drink, burying Space Tree in a desert planet while making up a story that Space Tree was abducted by The Mirage, selling Space Tree's ashes in action figure form with toxic ooze, as well as other schemes. Some of his schemes have led to trouble, such as the time he used the illegal internet site spacelaze to zap Allon and his computer, which landed him in space prison.
In Career Fear, we learned that the Commander came to Space Tree at the age of 12 to do a training which would promote Space Tree to a Space Captain and the Commander to a Space Admiral. So far every part of the training seems to be about triangles and how they have three sides. Since the Commander is/pretends to be pretty dumb in this training, they haven't finished yet (even though Space Tree seems to be a Space Captain now), and Allon has joined the class and has been in it for at least a year, giving evidence that Allon may also be at the rank of commander, though he doesn't seem to be aware at this (see episode The Commander) When Space Tree and the Commander first met, the Commander was very taken back by the fact that Space Tree was a tree. In Business Opportunity we learned he dreams of having a pizza fort. He's married to The Stem, but as of The Commander they're currently separated.
The Commander's full name is somewhat of a mystery, for it has been revealed that his full name is Uderick Michelle (supposedly pronounced "Michael") Xander, though there have also been instances that 'The' and 'Commander' are parts of his name also (see No Chalk).
== Singing Career ==
The Commander is also a very talented singer:
* He sang the Pizza Fort Song in Business Opportunity.
* He and Space Tree made a lot of money of his talent in Commander in a Dress.
* He and Forescore Jones sang "We're Gonna Buy Some Stamps" in Forescore Jones: Undercover.
* He and Allon sang "Fixing a Robot" in No Chalk.
However this talent can be affected in many ways: If the vocal chord in his head is hit by a nail, he can only sing with an Irish accent, if the one in his chest is damaged, he cannot sing at all.
==Commander and Mee==
There have been a few events to hint that the Commander is gay, like trying to kiss Mee in Phil, calling Mee sexy in Clouds, and dreaming that Mee came to see him and tried to kiss him in Punch, Part II.
Other examples:
*His oddly affectionate behavior around Ghost Spider
*His attraction to PinkFrosting88 in earlier episodes when she could easily be mistaken for a man.
*when Tahoma quotes Mee saying "Birthday parties are for gays", but then says "No offense".
*Frequent allusions to the Commander's cross-dressing.
