This character was an inspiration for my OC, Ultimate Man.
Buzz Lightyear is first seen as a birthday gift for Andy. At this time, Buzz Lightyear does not realize that he is a toy, believing himself to be the real Buzz Lightyear. He also thinks that all of his equipment is fully functional, not realizing that his communicator is a sticker, his laser is an LED, etc. This belief causes friction between Buzz Lightyear and Woody, Andy's previous favorite toy. The other toys in Andy's room are attracted by Buzz's doo-dads and gung-ho attitude, but Woody becomes increasingly jealous and contrives to cause Buzz Lightyear to fall behind Andy's desk. Instead, Buzz Lightyear falls out of the window and is thought to be lost. During this period, Buzz manages to survive and save Woody numerous times due to the fact that he still believes that he is a space ranger. Using both stealth and agility, he manages to get through all challenges with Woody until he learns the truth. Eventually Buzz Lightyear and Woody meet up and through a series of incidents, Buzz comes first to realize that he is, in fact, a toy and then to accept the situation (he learns this when he attempts to fly out the window of a house, only to fall and break his left arm in the process). He teams up with Woody to escape the toy-destroying child Sid Phillips and together they are able to re-unite with Andy and the other toys.
In Toy Story 2, Buzz leads Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, Rex the dinosaur, and Hamm the piggy bank on the mission to find and rescue Woody after he's stolen by the owner of Al's Toy Barn for his collection. Having regained his confidence, Buzz manages to track down Woody's trail and find the culprit. They eventually succeed by navigating traffic, elevators, cars, airports, and aircraft. At one point in the movie, while investigating Al's Toy Barn itself, Buzz is captured by a newer Buzz Lightyear action figure and is replaced for a time, showing that the entire toy line apparently holds the same ignorance of their existence as toys as Buzz once had (a discarded script for Toy Story 3 had Buzz and his toy line recalled back to Taiwan due to a defect, which could have explained why he and the rest of the line's figures believed themselves to be their characters while Woody, who also possessed his own series, was never aware of his origins until the events of Toy Story 2). At the end of the movie, Buzz and Jessie enter a relationship together (the same way as Woody and Bo). The last shot shows Woody, Buzz, and their respective girlfriends watching Wheezy sing "You've Got A Friend In Me". In the Super Bowl on February 3, 2008 during the 3rd quarter, Buzz and Woody are watching the Super Bowl and then watch a promo for WALL-E, who is playing with a vacuum.
In the theatrical films, the featured Buzz is a toy — a spaceman action figure — where as the television properties follow the adventures of the fictional space ranger on whom the toy is modelled. His name was inspired by Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
