History:
Pip was born 260th in line for the throne of Laxidazia, a planet in the Dolenz system. A member of the idle rich, Pip spent his days in luxury, painting landscapes to ease the boredom. One night while looking for a good spot to paint, Pip came across an encampment of trolls, a degenerate sub-species of the Laxidazian race. Taking an immediate liking to these people, Pip engaged in food, drink, and dance with them, imbibing vast quantities of their special ale. When Pip awoke the next morning, he discovered that not only did he have the worst hangover of his life, he had been mutated by the ale into a troll. Eventually, he returned to the court and tried to hide his condition, but his lewd behavior could not be stifled.
Embarrassed by such behavior from someone with a rank as esteemed as the 260th in line for the throne, the Laxidazians stripped him of rank and exiled him from the court. Pip stowed away on board a merchant starship and began a life of wandering and debauchery.
Eventually, missionaries from the Universal Church of Truth came to Laxidazia and began to convert the natives to the new faith. The agents of the Church found the tribes of trolls and soon learned that they were resistant to any conversion process. The Church ordered them exterminated, and word spread throughout the Empire that all trolls were to be exterminated. In the meantime, Pip had gotten himself in trouble on scores of planets, most of which were under the Church’s jurisdiction. Eventually taken captive by agents of the Church, Pip was sent aboard the Death Ship, a space vessel containing those bound for execution by the Church. Aboard the ship, Pip met Adam Warlock. Seeing Warlock as a means to escape the ship as well as a chance to find adventure, Pip became Warlock’s companion in his efforts to thwart his alternate self, the Magus. When the threat of the Magus was quelled, Pip and Warlock went drinking together on the humanoid-populated world Sirius (T S) and then parted company. Pip became engaged in a number of misadventures of his own, then decided to renew his friendship with Adam War lock. Locating the ship of Warlock’s former ally, Thanos, Pip entered to see if Warlock was still aboard. He was not. Thanos responded to the troll’s intrusion by using his power to destroy Pip’s brain. Warlock eventually found Pip, and used a fraction of his power to absorb Pip’s spirit into his soul-gem.
Later, during the Infinity Gauntlet crisis, Pip’s spirit was released and he was restored to life. Adam Warlock, relieving himself of the burden of godhood, gave Pip the space gem and named him as one of the Infinity Watch.
