Fox McCloud made his appearance in ''{{h1|Star Fox|Games}}'' (''Starwing'' in PAL regions) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. Fox is the son of James McCloud, renowned pilot and leader of the original Star Fox team, and {{s|lylatwiki|Vixy Reinard McCloud}}. It is unknown what happened to his mother, but James is shown raising a very young fox by himself. Wanting to follow in his father's footsteps, Fox joins a pilot's academy as a teenager. Around this time, team Star Fox is hired to investigate the planet [[Venom]] after rumors of Andross returning. However, team member {{s|lylatwiki|Pigma Dengar}} betrayed the team, and James was presumed to be killed by Andross. The final member, [[Peppy Hare]], managed to escape to warn the galaxy about Andross and tell Fox that his father is gone. Seeking to avenge his father, Fox formed a new Star Fox team, which consisted of Peppy, [[Falco Lombardi]], and [[Slippy Toad]]. Fox would lead his team through the Lylat System to save it from the evil [[Andross]]. At the end of ''Star Fox 64'' (''Lylat Wars'' in PAL regions), a retelling of the original Star Fox, Fox independently fought and killed Andross at the end of the adventure. | Fox McCloud made his appearance in ''{{h1|Star Fox|Games}}'' (''Starwing'' in PAL regions) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993.

Fox has been compared to Luke Skywalker of the Star Wars franchise several times, including Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Assault''. Fox is often depicted as outspoken and righteous in his actions, putting the wellbeing of the innocent above all else. Nothing will get in his way of completing the mission, even if it means fighting. Fox likes to be in control of the situation at all times and becomes uncomfortable to the point of complaining when things don't go according to plan. This can be seen in ''Adventures'' where he expresses disappointment when General Pepper forbids him from bringing a blaster to a mission. Despite his reputation as a confident leader, Fox does have secret insecurities about not living up to his father. Still, he managed to save the galaxy several times and learned to trust himself over time. | Fox has been compared to Luke Skywalker of the Star Wars franchise several times, including Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Assault''.
