Captain Buzz Lightyear via His Utility-Belt Self via His Toy-Appearance Counterpart of The Number-Second Form

**Captain Buzz Lightyear** is minor antagonist-turned-supporting character in the 1999 Disney/Pixar animated film, *Toy Story 2*. Being a toy, he is essentially like every other Buzz Lightyear manufactured, as he believes he is a real space ranger, but sporting a new accessory belt. Like Andy's Buzz, he is also voiced by Tim Allen.

## Biography

### *Buzz Lightyear of Star Command*

Buzz Lightyear is the titular protagonist of the *Toy Story* spinoff, *Buzz Lightyear of Star Command* and is 2D animated. This show features Buzz's adventures as a space ranger, fighting the Evil Emperor Zurg. He is shown to command a small team, including Mira Nova, a Tangean princess with phasing powers, Booster, a former janitor from the planet Jo-Ad, and XR, a robot created by the Little Green Men. **The series was preceded by a direct-to-video film, *Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins*, which showed the formation of the team. The film shows that Buzz became isolated after the death of his first partner, Warp Darkmatter. He meets his future teammates while investigating a crime involving missing LGMs.**

### **Toy Story 002**

**Later on, when Andy's Buzz Lightyear discovers an aisle full of new Buzz Lightyear action figures in Al's Toy Barn, he sees "NEW UTILITY BELT!" on a display stand and climbs up to encounter this Buzz Lightyear action figure. When he foolishly attempts to take this Buzz's belt, Ultra Buzz suddenly springs to life, mistaking him for a rogue space ranger and overpowering him in a fight. Ultra Buzz, not knowing he is a toy, subdues Andy's Buzz and takes the latter as his prisoner. Ultra Buzz then utilizes an empty Buzz Lightyear cardboard box as a prison cell. He ties and stuffs Andy's Buzz into the cardboard box as Andy's Buzz tries to convince Ultra Buzz that he is a toy, but he takes no attention. Irritated by Andy's Buzz's "misbehavior," Ultra Buzz isolates Andy's Buzz by placing him on the shelf with the newer Buzz Lightyear toys. Although he has put up Andy's Buzz on display, Ultra Buzz has not placed him on the shelf properly, making escape possible. He, like the original Buzz in the previous film, believes that he is a real space ranger, although he is apparently even more deluded than Andy's Buzz (e.g. when Andy's Buzz has mumbled whether he has been this deluded in an embarrassment of his former behavior).** When Tour Guide Barbie drives the toys into the Buzz Lightyear aisle, Hamm calls to Ultra Buzz, thinking he is Andy's Buzz. Ultra Buzz turns on his laser as Tour Guide Barbie stops the car. He is at first suspicious of Andy's toys, but when Rex excitedly claims that he knows how to defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg, Ultra Buzz considers Rex as his ally and joins the toys on their quest, thinking that they are on a mission to infiltrate Zurg's fortress and defeat the evil Emperor himself. The toys leave the aisle leaving the real Buzz tied up in a box on the shelf, struggling to get out. At one time, he imagines the owner of Al's Toy Barn (Al McWhiggin, the same man who has stolen Woody) as a possible agent of Zurg. He tells the toys to get into Al's bag, thinking it might lead him to Zurg. After the toys arrive outside the building that houses Al's Penthouse, Ultra Buzz finds the air vent and navigates the toys through the vent and up the elevator shaft with his grappling hook on his new utility belt, despite Mr. Potato Head growing more suspicious of his cocky attitude ("I'm Buzz Lightyear. I'm always sure!"). During the climb, Rex pushes the toys to the bottom of the line and causes Ultra Buzz's strength to give out, prompting him to activate his anti-gravity servos (unaware that he is just a toy). Despite protests from the toys, Ultra Buzz lets go of the wall, and the toys land on a rising elevator that takes them up to level 23. He stupidly thinks that his anti-gravity servos are really working, however. **Ultra Buzz acts literally when he tells Rex to "use your head," as the toys then use him as a battering ram to break into Al's penthouse. In the ensuing melee that follows, Ultra Buzz and the toys grab Woody and head back for the vent, but Andy's Buzz stops them. In a brief argument between the two Buzz Lightyear toys after Woody asks which one is the real Buzz, Andy's Buzz opens Ultra Buzz's helmet (causing the other Buzz to suffocate under "toxic" air) and proves that he is the Buzz the other toys recognize by flashing Andy's name written on the bottom of his foot; though before this, the toys were willing to accept him when they didn't buy Ultra Buzz's behavior. Ultra Buzz is confused at what he is witnessing after regaining his composure, but is stunned to learn from Andy's Buzz about "Code 546," then walks over to Woody and kneels in front of him, addressing Woody as "Your Majesty."** When the toys head back to the elevator after Al packs Woody and the Roundup gang into his case and leaves the room, they encounter a Zurg action figure (let loose by Andy's Buzz when leaving Al's Toy Barn), whom Ultra Buzz battles. During this fight, Zurg claims that he is Buzz's father. After Rex accidentally knocks Zurg down the elevator shaft with his tail, Ultra Buzz forlornly thinks he has lost his father. After the toys leave the apartment, Andy's Buzz runs into Ultra Buzz one last time when the other Buzz is last seen playing ball with Zurg to form a real father-son bond. He describes Zurg as a "great dad," as Andy's Buzz bids him farewell with a Vulcan salute.
