Pip Gofern (Earth-616)

Pip is a Laxadazian of minor royalty (260th in line for the throne). He had interest in art and spent much of his time drawing portraits of the night sky.

On one such idea, he found a group of Laxadazian trolls, who were considered a subspecies and degenerates to be shunned by the others. After a long night of drinking with them, Pip awoke to find that he had gained the characteristics of a troll. Their liquor must have had some type of altering quality. Although he tried to hide it, this transformation as well as his behavior caused him to be exiled.

He spent time in various bars and seedy places. The Magus's forces came to Laxadazia and ordered the destruction of all trolls. Pip was captured and placed on a ship designated for those to be executed. He met and became an ally of Adam Warlock during his fight against the Magus. After the Magus was defeated, the two briefly parted ways.

Pip's mind was destroyed by Thanos, but Warlock placed him into his Soul Gem and they along with Gamora eventually were reformed in new bodies. Pip was a loyal and valued member of the Infinity Watch.

Later, Pip searched for Warlock (who had been in hibernation) at the request of Thanos, who was searching for a way to deal with the Thanosi.

Pip also helped Thanos and Galactus against the entity known as Hunger. As thanks, Thanos had him thrown out with the trash. Pip returned to working with Gamora and Adam Warlock.
