Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Wiki

“To infinity – and jolly well past that, wot!”

Fop Doppler is the second Tangean Space Ranger after Mira Nova. He joined Star Command out of a challenge to complete basic Space Ranger training in order to marry Mira. Despite his originally frail nature, he surprisingly showed an unprecedented aptitude as a Space Ranger, and completed his training with one of the all-around highest test scores in history.

Physical Appearance[]

Like Mira, he is a Tangean Royal, complete with light blue skin. He has a prominent nose and sports a blonde pompadour-like hairstyle. While originally very scrawny, following his ranger training, he developed a rather muscular build.

History[]

Nothing of Fop's history is mentioned in the episode, though it is obvious Mira knows (and dislikes) him from her childhood in the Tangean Royal Court.

He was engaged to her briefly, before the wedding was cancelled. Mira used the Tangean law, the challenge of worth, to order Fop prove he is worthy to marry her by becoming a ranger at Star Command. As a result, he enrolled in the Ranger Academy where he passed and served as valedictorian, much to the shock of Mira. However, the wedding was a ploy by Angstrom and the Tangean Grounders. Doppler helped Team Lightyear by taking down some of the enemies and preventing Angstrom from escaping as a space ranger. This display greatly impressed Mira and Buzz Lightyear.

After this incident, XR made up a rule stating that Fop could call off the wedding if he desired. Fop decided to cancel the engagement in order to continue being a Space Ranger.

Personality[]

The only other Tangean to enjoy being a Space Ranger, Fop is a very bouncy and eccentric individual. Unlike his fellow Tangeans who consider themselves to be higher than other life forms, Fop holds a lot of enthusiasm for anything he thinks is exciting or foreign to him, such as joining Star Command, or trying to marry Mira.

When he fights his enemies, he does so without losing his cool and good-natured disposition.

Fop is also shown to be fairly reasonable. When he realized how unfair the wedding was to both him and Mira - which would in turn kick them both out of the Rangers - he wishes he could call the wedding off. Thus, when XR lies and makes up a 'rule' which allows Fop to call the wedding off, he does so without hesitation.

Abilities[]

  • Tangean Abilities: Like most Tangean Royals, he can use ghost through walls and has the ability to read minds.
  • Master Hand-to-hand Combatant: After becoming a Space Ranger, Fop has shown himself to be one of the most gifted Rangers, proving his newfound skills in combat.
  • Agility: He is able to easily and swiftly dodge his enemies' attacks.

Quotes[]

  • "This looks like a job for...(rips off wedding tuxedo to reveal his Pulsar-400 Enviro-Suit) Fop Doppler, Space Cadet!"
  • "You know, I really could cozy up to this ranger stuff... if we didn't have to be married."
  • "How imperial! I'm going to be a real life Ranger. To infinity - and jolly well past that, wot!"

Trivia[]

  • The name Doppler likely is a reference to the Doppler effect, in which an object's observed wavelength changes in correlation to the direction the object is moving.
  • Fop is a term meaning a man overly concerned with appearances.[1]
