Ch'p

Within DC continuity Ch'p is a native of the planet H'lven who was captured during an invasion orchestrated by the antagonist Doctor Ub'x. According to his published origin (Green Lantern #148, January 1982), one of the Guardians of the Universe secretly inducted him into the Green Lantern Corps by placing on him the Power Ring of his predecessor after that predecessor was killed during the invasion. He subsequently served as the Green Lantern of Sector 1014, with later storylines placing him on assignments including Oa and the Mosaic World; continuity revisions (post-Crisis) and later crossover events (Blackest Night) alter aspects of his canonical biography, including accounts of his death and temporary reanimation as a Black Lantern.

Sources consistently describe Ch'p as an extraterrestrial resembling an anthropomorphic rodent (commonly likened to a squirrel or chipmunk). He is identified as a member of the H'lvenite race from H'lven. Visual depictions across comics and adaptations show a small, furred, rodent-like humanoid; specific design details and coloration vary among comic art and screen adaptations (for example, DC League of Super-Pets presents a red-squirrel derived reinterpretation named "Chip"). No precise real-world biometric measures are provided in the cited sources.

Ch'p's canonical abilities derive from his status as a Green Lantern Corps member and his wielding of a Green Power Ring; sources attribute to him the standard ring-enabled capabilities (construct creation, flight, energy projection and other ring functions) as enabled by the ring rather than innate biological powers. Narratively he performs duties of defense and patrol (defending H'lven from invasion, service and training on Oa, friendships and cooperation with other Lanterns such as Hal Jordan, Kilowog and Salaak). He is also involved in plot events typical of the serialized comics: combat with recurring enemies (notably Doctor Ub'x), Corps reconstruction duties, death in some continuities, and temporary reanimation during Blackest Night.
