Origin
XR, the Experimental Ranger, was built by the Little Green Men as a possible partner for Buzz Lightyear because, being a robot, he could be rebuilt if destroyed. Originally he had a very absent personality, and was only programmed to learn from Buzz. On his first mission with Buzz, to try to protect the LGM's Uni-Mind from Zurg, he was destroyed. He was rebuilt by the LGM's, but since Zurg had captured the Uni-mind, the LGM's ability to rebuild him was inhibited. Therefore he was rebuilt with many character flaws, making him almost human by the LGM's standards.
XR considers Commander Nebula to be his father because he unknowingly signed the papers to authorize XR's Construction. XR constantly calls Commander Nebula "Dad" which annoys Nebula considerably.
XR has an "older brother" named XL who was a failed forerunner model to XR. XL escaped Star Command and rebuilt himself using stolen parts and was a reoccurring villain throughout the TV series. XL, towards the end of the series, turned from evil and became good by turning on NOS-4A2, the energy vampire. He was then employed at Star Command where he became an office managing robot
XR has a taste for the high life, enjoying money, partying, dancing, beautiful women, and anything luxurious.
