Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins

Buzz Lightyear is a star-rated Space Ranger who initially refuses a new partner after Warp's presumed death. He is highly capable, disciplined, and driven by a sense of duty, but his reluctance to work with others evolves into leadership of a new, diverse team. His character arc centers on learning that teamwork can enhance, not diminish, his mission.

Warp Darkmatter starts as Buzz's partner but is revealed to be a double agent working for Zurg. He engineers sabotage and appears to die, only to be unmasked as Agent Z, showing his treachery and shifting alliances. His arc drives the film's tension and final confrontation.

Mira Nova is a prodigy ranger and princess of Tangea who can phase through objects using ghosting. She becomes Buzz's potential partner but ultimately joins Team Lightyear. Her abilities and leadership instincts help drive the mission against Zurg.

XR is a newly built L.G.M. robot soldier designed to be Buzz's ally. He is destroyed by Agent Z but later rebuilt, becoming self-aware and a crucial teammate in the final battles. His journey from tool to independent ally mirrors the film's theme of unity.

Booster is a cheerful janitor with dreams of becoming a space ranger. He provides comic relief and tenacity, stowing away on Buzz's ship and contributing to the mission's success. His optimism helps sustain the team during tough moments.

Zurg is the primary antagonist who seeks control of the Uni-Mind via the Mega-Ray. He manipulates minds and orchestrates assaults to bend the galaxy to his will. His strategic mind makes him a persistent and formidable foe.

Commander Nebula introduces Mira to Buzz and assigns the mission. She advocates for bold action and the expansion of Star Command's capabilities, guiding the team through the early stages of their alliance. Her leadership sets the mission's stakes and direction.
