Publication history

[edit]

Ch'p first appeared in Green Lantern #148 (January 1982) and was created by writer Paul Kupperberg and artist Don Newton.[2]

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Ch'p's early history is recounted in Green Lantern Corps #203. A native of the planet H'lven, he helps defend it from Doctor Ub'x and his army. He is captured and sentenced to death, but one of the Guardians of the Universe rescues him and enlists him into the Green Lantern Corps.[3]

In Crisis on Infinite Earths, the multiverse is destroyed, and Ch'p and Ub'x are the only H'lvenites who remember the previous timeline.[4] They eventually reconcile and become friends before Ch'p is hit and killed by a yellow tractor-trailer.[5][1] When the Green Lantern Corps is restored following the defeat of Parallax, B'dg is selected to replace him as the Green Lantern of Sector 1014.

Following his death, Ch'p makes minor appearances before being resurrected as a Black Lantern in Blackest Night.[6] He is destroyed by Guy Gardner wielding Red and Green power rings.
