Buzz Lightyear (Lightyear)

Captain Buzz Lightyear, or simply Buzz Lightyear, is the titular main protagonist of Pixar's 26th full-length animated feature film , a spin-off prequel film centered on Buzz Lightyear's origin story. 
He is a legendary Space Ranger and member of Star Command who protects the galaxy from the threat of invasion.
He is voiced by , who also played The Human Torch in 2005's Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel, Casey Jones in 2007's TMNT, and Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
==Physical appearance==
Buzz Lightyear has fair skin, brown hair, and blue eyes. He is primarily dressed in a white spacesuit with partial green portions and a purple hood. In one artwork, he wore a normal astronaut uniform. He also had an orange and white spacesuit. He also wore a navy-blue jumpsuit with the sleeves rolled up along with a white T-shirt underneath and black tanker boots.
==Personality==
Much like his toy counterpart, Buzz is a dutiful ranger with a habit of doing things on his own and makes mission logs to help him focus which causes him to do mistakes, like he unintentionally crashes the Turnip. He's willing to take full responsibility for his actions, to the point that he offers to have himself stripped of his rank. Buzz has issues with rookies as Buzz feel that rookies and sometime, autopilots, don't help but overcomplicate things. Despite his stubbornness, Buzz is shown to be wise as he recalled his time as a Space Ranger cadet and how he didn't fit in.
==Powers and Abilities==
He has extensive space ranger training, knows how to fight, and is incredibly intelligent.
His suit has many abilities. One of Buzz's abilities is to fire lasers. Another feature in his suit is stealth mode which cloaks him and makes him undetectable from others. After receiving a new suit it was added with a jetpack and jetwings. He also possesses above-average strength to push a ship back from crashing.
==Biography==
Buzz Lightyear and his commanding officer and best friend Alisha Hawthorne were tasked with safely transporting a ship full of Star Command colonists through hyperspace when they detected life forms on the planet T'Kani Prime and decide to make a pitstop to investigate. As they explore the planet's surface, Alisha revealed that she had bought with them a new recruit, Featheringhamstan, that Buzz was supposed to train and supervise, much to Lightyear's annoyance.
After discovering that the planet hosts hostile lifeforms, they were forced to retreat. Buzz damages the ship during the retreat, forcing the crew to evacuate in order to conduct repairs and continue their journey. One year later, the crew constructed a nascent colony along with the necessary infrastructure to conduct repairs. Buzz volunteers to test hyperspace fuel, a key component of the repairs. After a four-minute test, he finds that four years have passed on T'Kani Prime, due to the effects of time dilation from having traveled at relativistic speeds. Buzz is introduced to Sox, a robotic feline, and continues testing the hyperspace fuel. With every test, four more years pass on T'Kani Prime, until eventually, over 62 years have passed. During this time, the colony develops; Alisha raises a son with her wife Kiko, subsequently dying of old age; and Sox improves the fuel's composition, allowing it to obtain faster-than-light speeds.
Buzz manages to succeed in his hyperspeed fuel drive against the orders of Cal Burnside, his new superior. Landing on T'Kani Prime, he discovered that 22 years have passed. During that time, T'Kani Prime has been invaded by Emperor Zurg and his army of Zyclops robots. Buzz meets up with members of the colony's defense forces, including Izzy Hawthorne, Alisha's now-adult granddaughter, Mo Morrison, a fresh, naïve recruit, and Darby Steel, an elderly paroled convict. While initially reluctant to work with them, Buzz eventually warms up to them. Together, they plan to attack Zurg's ship and destroy the invading force.
Zurg captures Buzz Lightyear and brings him aboard his ship where he reveals that he is an older Buzz from an alternate timeline in which he escaped from Burnside's forces after the successful hyperspace test. Aided by the effects of time dilation, he traveled to the far future, encountering a technologically advanced and abandoned vessel. He assumed Zurg's identity by wearing his mecha suit and traveled to the now-present to obtain more hyperspace fuel from Buzz in order to travel further back in time and prevent the exploration vessel from landing on T'Kani Prime in the first place. However, Buzz refuses due to the implications of the possible temporal paradox that would result from such actions, which would wipe out the current timeline and everyone from it. Meanwhile, Izzy, Mo, Darby, and Sox board Zurg’s ship to assist Buzz. After a chaotic assault on the ship, Buzz and his comrades-in-arms destroy the ship and escape.
However, Zurg, having survived his ship's destruction, arrives and attacks Buzz, grabbing the hyperspace fuel. As Zurg prepares to destroy him, Buzz shoots the fuel, causing it to explode and incapacitate Zurg. With the fuel gone, Buzz wishes to stay on T'Kani Prime. Upon landing, Burnside arrests Buzz but relents, allowing Buzz to revive the Space Ranger Corps. Buzz selects Izzy, Mo, Darby, and Sox to form the core of this organization, much to Burnside's surprise. Buzz and his team are then sent off to a new adventure in parts unknown.
==Trivia==
*Buzz said a few lines that were identical to his toy counterpart in his debut.
*According to Buzz's dog tags, his blood type is O-positive.
*Buzz's present day is 89 years after he caused the ship to crash; for Buzz, it was only 19 days before his final 22-year jump. It hits him hard that any friends or family he had back home are now dead; leaving him with just Sox for emotional support.
**In short, Buzz has a literal example of how an out of control ego will eventually leave someone alone. 
**In a dark sense of humor, Buzz could have had a nice life with his generation but his ego and sense of responsibility made him lose sight of things. 
***Adding onto the dark humor is that the correct hyperspace crystal formula would not exist until everyone from his era was dead; which made the effort pointless as the generations born on the planet had no reason to go to earth.
*Despite being the character Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear was based on, this version didn't exist until 27 years afterward.
*Much like his toy counterpart, his helmet is able to go all the way inside his body, which is very inconsistent as it would take so much space inside the suit for his body.
*The incompetent Space Rangers he works with are like Team Lightyear in The Adventure Begins; they even mirror Mira Nova (Izzy Hawthorne), Booster (Mo Morrison), and XR (Darby Steel). Just like in the film, he chooses them as his team after a near-death mission to stop Zurg.
*Buzz's personality is very similar to both Captain America from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (aside from the fact that they're both played by Chris Evans) and Ellen Ripley from the Alien franchise.
*He never got a suit that looks exactly like his toy counterparts one until the end of the film. 
*Buzz's orange and white spacesuit bears a striking resemblance to his toy counterpart's early concept art for the first Toy Story movie where he was originally named Lunar Larry and Tempus from Morph.
*Unlike his other incarnations, he hails from the planet Earth as opposed to planet Morph.
*In an early concept art, Buzz was originally going to wear different colored spacesuits such as red, yellow, green, indigo and brown, although the blue spacesuit was kept in the final film.
