Zeb Nebula, more commonly known as Commander Nebula by his employees is the head and founder[2] of Star Command and Buzz's superior. He is best known for his gritty voice, lack of tolerance, and no-nonsense attitude. 

Physical Appearance

Although an aging human, Nebula is well-built, with a broad chest and shoulders. He has medium tan skin, a large chin, and a large gray mustache, complete with gray eyebrows and (possibly) hair, though it could also be possible he is bald, as he never removes his thermal hood. His mustache occasionally mirrors his mood by curling or prickling whenever he is agitated. His left leg was cut off at the knee at some unknown point, and has been replaced by a peg leg which doubles as a plasma cannon. His attire is typical of all space rangers, with the only exception being a large golden Star Command emblem as the chest plate.

History

Sometime in the past, possibly before Nebula headed Star Command, he assumed the role of undercover bounty hunter Shiv Katall, and smuggled defecting minions from Evil Emperor Zurg into the Galactic Alliance. However, he later passed on the role to Buzz Lightyear, though whether it was due to old age or the loss of his leg is unclear.

Personality

Loudmouthed, hard-headed and somewhat abrasive, Nebula is known for his short temper and hatred of all things bureaucratic, including paperwork.

He is an excellent leader, as he never orders his Rangers into a situation he would not go into himself. He does not have tolerance for insubordination, though he has the grace to admit when he's made a bad call. It's worth mentioning that Nebula can act like a stern father figure to his Rangers when he needs to, whether he's keeping them out of danger or talking some sense into them.

It's also noted that Nebula hates robots, but he does seem to be lightening up to them, slowly accepting XR and XL into the Star Command community.
