Ch'od

Ch'od is presented in Marvel Comics as a member of a saurian (Saurid) species from the planet Timor (also called Varanus IV). He is introduced as a founding member of the Starjammers, a crew formed to oppose aspects of Shi'ar Imperial power and to undertake spacefaring missions; his first published appearance is Uncanny X-Men #104 (April 1977). The published sources provide his name and affiliations but do not record an in-text etymology or cultural naming conventions for his species.

Canonical descriptions characterize Ch'od as lizard-like and amphibious, a member of the Saurid race from Timor/Varanus IV. Source summaries note his reptilian morphology but do not provide consistent, detailed specifications such as coloration, exact size, or scale patterning in the provided materials. He has been depicted in comics and animated media as a visibly saurian crewmember of the Starjammers.

Sources describe Ch'od as possessing superhuman strength, durability, and endurance consistent with his Saurid physiology, and as amphibious. He is an expert marksman with Shi'ar weaponry, skilled with swords and in hand-to-hand combat, and a highly competent starship pilot. Narrative summaries record his typical equipment as Shi'ar-manufactured swords, battleaxes, and energy guns and portray him acting as a loyal crewmember who participates in combat and rescue missions.
