The alternate universe is a parallel dimension where individuals and circumstances from the original universe are either different in some fashion or completely opposite from their original counterparts.
It was first discovered when one of Brain Pod #18's experiments went awry, creating a tear that revealed the alternate universe to Zurg and his forces.[1]
The alternate universe's Buzz Lightyear is often referred to as the Evil Buzz Lightyear by the others to differentiate between the two.[2]
Trivia[]
- The alternate universe was likely inspired by the mirror universe in Star Trek, a parallel universe where many of the same people existed, but with opposite moralities — hence the term "mirror universe" to describe it. However, in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, the only one whose morality is opposite to his prime universe counterpart's is the Evil Buzz Lightyear.
- Evil Buzz's goatee is also a reference to Star Trek, as Spock in the mirror universe also had a goatee.
