Agent Warp Darkmatter

**Agent Warp Darkmatter** also-known-as **The Agent Z**, is The Secondary Antagonist and Occasional Known•Anti Hero. He was once a respected space ranger of Star Command and partner of Buzz Lightyear, but he had been secretly working for Zurg since his academy days as a double agent. He eventually began working for him full-time as "Agent Z" after faking his death. His right arm is mechanical (with various weapon attachments) and was grafted to his body after becoming Agent Z. Warp often takes on assignments for Zurg and is paid quite handsomely (he owns a moon and a summer home). Though Buzz has vowed to bring him in for treason, he retains some hope that there is still some good in him.

## History

### Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins

At the beginning of the film, Buzz Lightyear and Warp Darkmatter were partners as well as best friends, sent by Star Command in order to search for three missing Little Green Men, stumbling upon one of the Zurg Empire's secret bases on an uncharted moon, where the Evil Emperor himself tortured the LGM's for information about their mind link. Though Buzz and Warp succeed in rescuing the LGM's, Zurg escapes, leaving his army of Hornets to attack them and activating his self-destruct sequence on the way out. In the chaos, Warp was pinned under some debris and Buzz attempted to save him, but Warp insisted Buzz to leave without him, pressing a button to force him to escape while he was caught in the explosion, leaving the devastated Buzz to believe that he's dead. **Later, Zurg had gained a new henchman named Agent Z, who leads several Hornets to attack the homeworld of the Little Green Men in order to steal the Uni-Mind, the mystical orb which psychologically connected all LGM-kind. Despite the best efforts of Buzz and his new robot partner, XR, Agent Z bested them with his impressive skills and cybernetic arm which housed a multitude of dangerous weapons, allowing Zurg and his forces to make off with the Uni-Mind in order to use it mentally to enslave the galaxy.** Later, when Buzz invades Planet Z, Agent Z battles Buzz, but Buzz defeats Agent Z and threatens him at a laser point, declaring him under arrest. It was then that Agent Z removes his helmet and reveals himself as Warp Darkmatter, shocking Buzz long enough to allow the latter to knock him unconscious. When Buzz regains consciousness and asks him about his betrayal, Warp reveals that he has been secretly working for Zurg ever since his days at the academy, serving as a spy within Star Command until he had learned the Uni-Mind's existence. Warp also revealed that the previous kidnapping of LGM's and the self-destruction sequence was just nothing but ruses to fake his death in order to sever his ties with Star Command and that he finds the epitome of evil to be more fun and profitable. This leaves Buzz so shocked and furious that he considered Warp as his best friend. Zurg then appeared and began to taunt Buzz on his naive friendship with Darkmatter, and then plans to corrupt the Uni-Mind as well. However, Buzz was rescued by XR and Star Command's janitor, Booster. Zurg then orders Warp to kill Buzz Lightyear but was knocked down by Mira Nova, disguised as a hornet. When XR and Booster crash land, Warp tries to take a shot at them, but Mira ejects Booster out of his ship and onto Darkmatter, pinning him down and bruising his ego. **Warp is then cuffed into a pole and begs help when Zurg's laser begins to detonate. He is then escorted by Booster and XR, becoming scared when they parachute off the building to safety. Meanwhile, Buzz and Mira restore the Uni-Mind by phasing Buzz into it. Warp believes Buzz to be dead at that point, only to be disappointed when he finds out he's still alive, thus foiling Zurg's diabolical plans for conquest. With Zurg's plan foiled, Warp is then taken into custody by Star Command afterward.**

## Trivia

* Warp Darkmatter has some similarities with Bucky Barnes, they both have prosthetic arms and are former partners of the main protagonist and were presumed dead. Unlike Bucky, Warp was evil, to begin with.
* Warp Darkmatter shares some similarities with Riley Hicks from *Fast & Furious 6*, they both used to get along with one of the heroes to Buzz Lightyear and Luke Hobbs respectively. Unlike Riley who is female, while Warp is male and while Riley Hicks is dead, while Warp's fate is left unknown after the events of Ancient Evil.

## Abilities

Although originally possessing of No Extraordinary Powers or abilities beyond his peak physical condition, Warp Darkmatter's organic right arm has been replaced with a cybernetic attachment from the shoulder down. The appendage consists of a spherical shoulder prosthetic connected by two flexible tubes to a tapered cylindrical unit. The shoulder and arm are almost completely silver in color with the exception of a circular area on the shoulder prosthetic which is purple.

### Prosthetic Arm

Warp's arm features a modular system that allows various weapons and tools to be equipped or exchanged in short order. Warp's default tool is a set of metallic claws which not only function as his right hand but also have the ability to increase and reduce in length, spin rapidly (allowing him to cut through glass) and can be fired like a cannon ball. Warp can exchange his metallic claws for various other weapons such as a flamethrower, plasma cannon and a disintegration ray gun. Warp's arm also has a built-in communicator which he regularly uses to talk with Zurg and to command his Hornets. Warp's shoulder prosthetic is able to shoot spiked bombs with enough velocity to partially pierce an airlock.

Warp's arm also has a storage system built into it, which has been shown to contain at least one type of sidearm and a plasma charge. When needed, a hatch can open on his arm and the desired items can be dispensed. Warp's arm has been shown to contain at least 2 blaster pistols and a plasma charge but it is highly likely that his arm contains a larger number and variety of items since, when Buzz asked if he could borrow a plasma charge, Warp was able to provide him with one even though such a device or Warp's ability to produce one had yet to be seen, indicating that Buzz had witnessed Warp produce and use one in the past during an unlisted encounter.

### Cross-Platform-Compatibility

Warp's shoulder prosthetic has been shown to be compatible with additional hardware, as seen during the events of "Large Target", in which he had switched out his regular arm unit for a large Hornet yellow blaster unit. This weapon system was mounted to Warp's shoulder via a simple black hardpoint rather than the normal silver metal tube and shaft Warp's default arm unit used.
