Courtney Gears is an antagonist in Up Your Arsenal, with cameo appearances in Deadlocked, and mentions in later entries. Renowned for her looks rather than her musical ability, she is a robot pop star sensation, selling a large amount of merchandise across the Solana Galaxy. She also gave out grand prizes on the holovision show Annihilation Nation.
Unbeknownst to the galaxy, she became a close ally of Dr. Nefarious, assisting in his cause to turn all organic lifeforms into robots. She recorded a pop song, "Robots of the Galaxy", as propaganda for his cause. She also used her hideout in Obani Draco to test the Biobliterator, a device that could transform organic lifeforms into robots. Her popularity declined due to her association with Nefarious. Following her defeat by Ratchet, she was repaired by Gleeman Vox, leading to her comeback.
