Fictional character biography

Perspective

Ch'p's early history is recounted in Green Lantern Corps #203. A native of the planet H'lven, he participated in the defense of his homeworld from an invasion by the Crabster army of Doctor Ub'x. He was captured and sentenced to death, but one of the Guardians of the Universe secretly arrived to induct him into the Corps with the power ring of his predecessor, who was killed during the invasion. Using the ring, Ch'p was able to defeat Ub'x and free his world.[2] Shortly afterward, he travelled to Oa, where he was instructed by Kilowog in the same group of recruits as Hal Jordan.[3] Ch'p went on to become the Green Lantern of sector 1014, and became good friends with Jordan, Mogo, Salaak, and other members of the Green Lantern Corps. Ch'p maintained a secret identity on H'lven until he married his longtime girlfriend M'nn'e. While not serving the Guardians on Oa, Ch'p defended H'lven from various threats, many of them engineered by Ub'x.

Ch'p's history as a Green Lantern is fairly typical until Crisis on Infinite Earths. Ch'p survives the Crisis and the subsequent reboot of the universe, but discovers that history was rewritten so that he died in an accident 15 years earlier. In the new timeline, his wife M'nn'e had remarried his best friend, D'll. Stunned and disheartened, Ch'p abandons H'lven for Earth.[4] Ch'p also battles Doctor Ub'x, the only other H'lvenite who recalls the pre-Crisis timeline. The two eventually realize the important connection they share and set aside their differences.

Ch'p and Salaak later travel to Oa to participate in the reconstruction of the Green Lantern Corps. Ch'p is assigned to patrol the makeshift city Mosaic World. There, he teams up with John Stewart before being hit and killed by a yellow truck.[1][5] When the Corps is re-founded following the defeat of Parallax, the H'lvenite B'Dg is selected as the new Green Lantern of Sector 1014.

During the Blackest Night event, Ch'p is one of the many fallen Lanterns who are resurrected as members of the Black Lantern Corps.[6] The re-animated Ch'p is destroyed by Guy Gardner wielding Red and Green power rings.
