Zix, Travoltron, and Tee
Zix, Travoltron, and Tee, also known as (The) Space Bandits are fictional lizard/alien hybrid villains in The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Their first appearance was in A Beautiful Mine, then re-appeared in Men at Work (in the end), made a cameo in Win, Lose, and Kaboom, starred once again in The INCredible Shrinking Town, and made a last appearance in The League of Villains.
Zix
Zix is the leader of the three, and also arguably the smartest. Zix is greedy and tends to lie a lot (A Beautiful Mine). He is based off of the comedian Jon Lovitz. He was voiced by Maurice LaMarche.
Travoltron
Travoltron, as his name suggests, is modeled after John Travolta, as he speaks and acts like him. Travoltron is probably the dumbest of the three. He tends to end every sentence with his trademark line, "I swear" (modeled after a character in Welcome Back, Kotter that Travolta plays, Vinnie Barbarino). He also has an obsession with groceries. He was voiced by Jeff Bennett.
Tee
Tee is the strongest, meanest, and toughest of the three. He tends to say, "I pity" a lot, and mostly calls everyone "fool". He was a major character in The League of Villains, and eventually, because of him, the bandits became good. He enjoys hugging (The League of Villains), and dreams of opening a dress shop (The Incredible Shrinking Town). Tee is based on Mr. T. He was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.
