Place

Base
of Operations: Jean Grey School
(1407 Graymalkin Lane,
Salem Center, New York);
formerly X-Statix Tower
in Santa Monica,
California
Extent
of Education: Unrevealed
First
Appearance: X-Force I#116 (July,
2001)
Powers/Abilities: Doop had quite a
variety of superhuman
powers, including a prehensile tongue. Doop could levitate itself for a
presumably
unlimited amount of time, being that levitation was its main means of
conveyance. Doop could emit a short-range, invisible energy pulse that
protects
anyone surrounded by it from psychic probes. Also, Doop's brain could
project
energy blasts, possibly psychic in nature.
Doop
was unaffected by temporal
forces, as it was unaffected when Lacuna used her powers to step
outside of
time. Doop could inflate itself in size to the point where it resembles
a giant
pillow. It had also been known to have an eyeball plucked from its
socket and
manage to put it back into its head and still have sight, which might
suggest
some sort of regeneration or healing factor. Doop was also strong
enough to
floor Thor, placing his strength somewhere in the Class 100 range.
Doop
also contained a nightmarish
world within itself, called Doop Land (see comments), where people
inside could
be greviously harmed and return to the normal world unscathed. Inside
the other
world, time flowed by much slower than in the real world, as Doop spent
a great
length of time inside the world, only to find that one second had
passed on
Earth. It could also house objects within Doop Land and pull them out
of holes
in its body, such as the communicator device that it pulled out of
itself to contact
the Orphan. As well as storing objects within itself, Doop's body also
contained a backup brain, located in its butt, that could keep Doop
alive,
should its brain be removed, for three days before losing power.
Apparently,
Doop had godlike
intelligence, speed, and durability, as well as a fair amount of energy
projection, but he never used them. (see comments)
Height:
Variable, usually around 3'
Weight: Variable
Eyes: Fuchsia
Hair: Black
History:
(X-Statix#21
(fb)
- BTS) - Towards the end of the
Cold War, Doop was constructed during what was called the "Doop
Project." Upon its construction, Doop had a hand in the falling of the
Berlin Wall.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#17
(fb) - BTS) - Doop and Sabretooth apparently worked together at some
point when
the Russians were “fun.”
(X-Statix#10
(fb)) - During the
present day, on March 19th, Doop joined the current members of X-Force
as they
entered their headquarters.
(X-Statix#10
(fb)) - On
April 10th, Doop was present when Edie Sawyer accidentally teleported
in front
of Zeitgeist and Sluk, where she first revealed herself as U-Go Girl.
(X-Force
I#116 (fb) - BTS) -
During X-Force's mission to North Africa, Doop played the role of
camerman,
filming the action and viewing itself in a broken pane of glass.
(X-Force
I#116) - When the
team was informed by the Coach that they were to travel to the
headquarters of
the Sonic TV station and save the captured boy band Boyz R Us, Doop
prepared
his video camera for the action. Once Doop was finished, he gave the
"thumbs-up"
to the team and U-Go Girl teleported the team into action. As the
mission
continued, everyone except the Anarchist, U-Go Girl, and Doop were
killed.
(X-Force
I#117 (fb) - BTS)
- Doop filmed U-Go Girl's vengeance against the gunmen who killed her
teammates,
where he once again began looking at itself in a broken pane of glass.
(X-Force
I#117) - Once the
Coach had found replacements for the deceased X-Force members, he
interrupted an
argument between the Anarchist and U-Go Girl, grabbing the basketball
from the
Anarchist's hands. The Coach then tossed the basketball toward Doop
and asked
that Doop hit the lights. Doop later joined X-Force at their press
conference,
where they were attacked by members of the militant mutant group, also
known as
X-Force. During the battle, Domino put a gun to Doop's head until the
Orphan
knocked Domino unconscious. After the fight, Doop returned to his
teammates'
side, where they continued their press conference.
(X-Force
I#118) - As
X-Force were given the instructions for their upcoming mission to
Bastrona,
Doop operated the movie projector that projected the team with an image
of
their informant, Diego Ardilles. Doop then joined the team, once again
as their
cameraman, to Bastrona, where they were attacked by Bastronan militants
that
killed team member Bloke. Doop then watched as an angered Phat choked
Diego
Ardilles for leading them into an ambush until the Orphan ordered Phat
to stop.
Following an argument between the Anarchist and the Orphan, Doop sadly
watched
as the Anarchist followed his orders and used his powers to vaporize
Bloke's
body. X-Force, with Doop in tow, then made its way to the government
laboratory
where they found Paco Perez, a young mutant whose powers could cure
nearly any
disease.
(X-Force
I#119) - As the mission
continued, with Saint Anna also being killed, the Orphan removed his
costume in
an effort to use his superhuman senses to free Paco Perez from the
wires
connected to his brain. Noticing Doop watching him, the Orphan flung
his
removed costume onto Doop, covering Doop's camera. The team soon
teleported
from Bastrona when the Orphan ordered U-Go Girl to teleport them home.
X-Force
unfortunately arrived in front of a country home deep in the South.
U-Go Girl
soon came to her senses and teleported the team to Sunset Boulevard, a
close
enough spot to their Tower.
(X-Force
I#120) - Doop
filmed footage of Wolverine destroying various X-Force merchandise and
afterwards, Wolverine reminded Doop of the conditions of his
"rampage" against X-Force. Doop responded in a language all his own
and Wolverine replied that he didn't care how long he and Doop had
known each
other, that he still couldn't understand why Doop even hung out with
the
"clowns" in X-Force. Wolverine then informed Doop that their mentor,
the Coach, was a mean "sonofagun" and that what he would like to do
to U-Go Girl would probably not find its way onto Doop's video diary.
Doop then
asked Wolverine a favor in "Doopspeak," to which Wolverine replied
that even for an old friend, Doop was asking a lot. Soon after, the
Coach
(along with his cronies, Smoke and Succubus) attacked the Orphan and
attempted
to rape U-Go Girl, which resulted in his own death, along with the
death of
Smoke. Following the death of the Coach, the Orphan and U-Go Girl
shared a
night on the town, not knowing that Doop was following them with an
eerie grin
on his face.
(Thunderbolts
I#57)
- Doop,
along with his X-Force teammates, was among the
heroes captured by
Graviton during his attempt to shape the world in his own image.
(X-Force
I#121) - Doop
filmed the Anarchist as he visited the library in search of the meaning
of the
word "Lacuna," which had begun appearing in random spots around their
headquarters. It later joined X-Force at their press conference, where
they
announced that no decision had been made regarding the new members to
replace
the fallen Saint Anna and Bloke. Following the press conference, Doop
joined
his teammates poolside as they discussed allowing the mutant known as
the Spike
joined their ranks. The pool party was interrupted by the arrival of a
young
girl named Lacuna, who revealed that she had been playing pranks on the
team
using his mutant powers to step between seconds and that she wanted to
join
X-Force herself.
(X-Force
I#122) - When
X-Force declined Lacuna's offer to join X-Force, she made her leave
using her
powers. When she stepped outside of time, leaving the team frozen in
time
around her, Doop was unaffected and watched in surprise as Lacuna made
off with
the script to U-Go Girl's upcoming television show. Much later, after
the Spike
had joined X-Force, Doop ate popcorn and watched as the team prepared
for a new
press conference. At the press conference, the Orphan announced that
they
decided to add Lacuna to their roster and Doop later joined the team at
their
headquarters as they watched the debut of "Lacuna & the Stars,"
a
television show starring Lacuna, who had opted to host television than
be a
super hero.
(X-Force I#123) - As
X-Force finally got a
chance to relax and enjoy time at their headquarters, Doop noticed a
pimple on
its forehead. When it popped the pimple, the other members of X-Force
were
transported to a nightmarish world inside the body of Doop. Doop
quickly looked
in the mirror and noticed the gaping hole where the pimple once housed
itself.
Doop picked at the hole and somehow managed to transport itself inside
the
other world, where it found a strange world filled with millions of
Doop-like
creatures. Doop noticed that many of Doop-like creatures looked
extremely
deformed compared to itself and then turned to see a giant stain-glass
window
of its teammate, Phat. As the other creatures began to attack Doop, it
smashed
through the window and saved Phat from the world by tossing him into
its mouth.
Doop then managed to find and save Vivisector, also by sucking him into
its
mouth. While in Vivisector's nightmarish library section of the world,
Doop
looked down and noticed a book entitled "Spikey Cross-Dressing." As
the other Doop-creatures began to catch up with Doop, Doop shrugged and
ate the
book, saving the Spike. Doop then managed to find the Anarchist,
swimming in a
pool of his own acidic sweat and not too long after, found U-Go Girl in
a laboratory
without her tongue. Doop found the right tongue in the test tubes and
pointed
it out to U-Go Girl, who returned her tongue to her mouth after Doop
smashed
the tube open with a lead pipe. Trying to save the last of his
teammates, Doop
found the Orphan being attacked by an army of Doop-creatures in a M. C.
Escher-esque part of the world. As the creatures consumed the Orphan,
Doop
managed to pull the Orphan's head free of their clutches. Doop then
rushed for
the open hole in the world and returned itself and its teammates to the
regular
world, in the same places they had been before being sucked inside Doop
Land.
Surprised, Doop looked at the clock and noticed that only a second had
passed
and it apparently was the only one who was even aware of the danger
that
X-Force had just been saved from.
(X-Force
I#124) - Doop once
again played cameraman on a mission with X-Force, this time finding
itself
teleported into the ocean, along with the rest of X-Force, by U-Go
Girl, whose
powers were becoming difficult to control. After losing its camera in
the
ocean, U-Go Girl teleported X-Force away, this time onto a remote
island, where
they were lucky enough to find a Federal Express plane that took them
back to
Santa Monica.
(The
Brotherhood#8 - BTS) -
Doop accompanied U-Go Girl, the Anarchist, and the Orphan in destroying
a sect
of the mutant Brotherhood, based in Tokyo, Japan.
(The
Brotherhood#9) - Upon
returning from Japan, Doop and the other members of X-Force, along with
the
celebrity Lacuna, were thrown a parade in their honor. During the
parade, the
group was attacked by members of the mutant Brotherhood, which they
killed with
ease.
(X-Force
I#125 (fb)) - Doop
acted as cameraman during a mission with X-Force to Central America.
(X-Force
I#125) - Doop was
present with its X-Force teammates while they discussed the
blackmailing of the
Orphan into going on a mission for the C. I. A. to improve the Agency's
image.
Doop later joined X-Force at their mission briefing, where C. I. A.
Agent
Wright explained that X-Force would go into space to stop a bunch of
escaped
convicts that had been transformed into mutates called the Bush
Rangers.
X-Force then voted on whether or not they would accompany the Orphan
into
space, resulting in a tie that was broken by the timely arrival of the
team's
newest recruit, Dead Girl, who sided with joining the Orphan in space.
Doop
later accompanied X-Force as they left for space, with its camera
firmly
attached to its head.
(X-Force
I#126) - As the
team travelled through space toward the space station housing the Bush
Rangers, Doop snapped a few photographs of the team at each other's
throats.
Upon arriving at the station, Doop and the others were greeted by the
"station crew," where they stopped to sign a few autographs. The team
then split up in search of the Bush Rangers, who were secretly
disguised as the
crew themselves.
(X-Force
I#127) - Doop
looked outside of the space station window following an ambush by the
Bush
Rangers. While waiting for the C. I. A. to arrive, X-Force decided to
find the
Bush Rangers and rescue their teammate, the Spike. When they found
them, the
Rangers were all disguised as the Spike. After X-Force killed many of
the Bush
Rangers, Agent Wright arrived with his C. I. A. Crack Squad and opened
fire on
Doop, the Orphan, U-Go Girl, and the Anarchist, but unfortunately for
him, U-Go
Girl managed to teleport them inside a small satellite outside of the
space
station. While the foursome were inside the satellite, Agent Wright
contacted
them and explained that the satellite was headed for deep space and
that it
would end up being just an orbiting coffin containing their bodies. The
foursome soon discovered a small shuttle inside the satellite that
could house
two people and Doop, and return them safely to the space station. In
order to
determine who was to be left behind, the Anarchist, the Orphan, and
U-Go Girl
rolled a die with the person who got the lowest score remaining behind
to die.
(X-Force
I#128 (fb)) - Doop
watched patiently as the dice rolls continued, with the Anarchist
coming up the
loser.
(X-Force
I#128) - The other
members of X-Force soon discovered the shuttle and re-docked at the
space
station to save their missing teammates. The first to exit the shuttle
was
Doop, who waved to its teammates, followed by the Orphan and then U-Go
Girl.
Eventually discovering a way to save their doomed teammate, X-Force
saved the
Anarchist and when he awoke from being knocked unconscious in the
satellite,
the Anarchist saw the friendly wave of Doop and his other teammates.
When the
real Spike returned, badly beaten, and revealed that the "Spike" who
had been with X-Force since their battle with the Bush Rangers was, in
reality,
a Bush Ranger named Tray, Doop pointed him out and a battle ensued that
resulted in the deaths of the real Spike and U-Go Girl. After Tray's
defeat,
U-Go Girl's body was launched into space, as a mournful Doop and the
others
watched on.
(X-Force
I#129) - Doop
watched as the Orphan met with team owner Spike Freeman and explained
that U-Go
Girl had wanted the name of X-Force changed to X-Statix. Spike thought
the name
was a bad idea and ordered the Orphan not to mention the name to
anyone. The
Orphan stormed out of the Tower, accompanied by an angry Doop. Doop
followed
the Orphan outside, where the Orphan publicy announced the death of
U-Go Girl.
Doop later joined the Orphan in watching on television as the Anarchist
and
Dead Girl returned from a night of booze and prison time. After arguing
with
Spike Freeman once again, the Orphan joined Doop and the others at a
public
X-Force tryout for possible new recruits to replace the Spike and U-Go
Girl.
While there, Doop filmed many of applicants and eventually exited the
tryouts
with its teammates, where they were stopped by mutant talent agent
Solomon
O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan attempted to gain X-Force as his clients and
presented
the Anarchist with a business card printed off of his own skin. Much
later,
Doop was proud to be present at the grand opening of the Doop Kiddies
Hospital,
where the Orphan announced X-Force's name change.
(X-Statix#1)
- Doop filmed
footage of X-Force's first mission using their new name of X-Statix and
later
joined X-Statix in watching "O-Force," a new reality TV series where
mutants competed for a place on a made-for-TV superteam of the same
name. Once
again visiting the tryouts, Doop and the Orphan watched a potential new
recruit
named Corkscrew as he killed his opponent. Spike Freeman then discussed
with
the Orphan and the Anarchist that Corkscrew qualified for Code-X, which
meant
that his mutant powers had made him mentally unstable. Spike then
explained
that Doop took care of the Code-X patients, to which Doop made a joke
in
Doopspeak that was very funny.
(X-Statix#1/2)
- That
night, Doop took Corkscrew out into a local forest, where Corkscrew
thought he
was being filmed for a TV show with Doop. Corkscrew eventually got
angry and
demanded that Doop get the camera out of his face. Corkscrew angrily
tried to
head back to civilization, but only managed to get himself tangled in
some
vines. Corkscrew then asked Doop for help with the vines, which Doop
did. As
the duo attempted to get some sleep, Corkscrew went crazy, thinking
that
X-Statix was laughing at him for being lost in the woods. Corkscrew
yelled that
no one makes fun of him and killed a group of horses in a mad rage.
Doop
quickly found Corkscrew sitting on a nearby hillside, where it hacked
Corkscrew
to pieces with an axe. Covered in Corkscrew's blue blood, Doop turned
to look
into its camera and smiled.
(X-Statix#1)
- The next
day, Spike Freeman and Doop arrived at the Orphan's trailer, where the
Orphan
asked Doop how the Code-X was. Doop made a groggy reply and the Orphan
agreed
with it. Later that day, X-Statix held a press conference to announce
the
membership of Venus Dee Milo, in which Doop attended. Reporter Sam
Gellar told
the team about O-Force's mission being broadcast that night and Doop
and the
others ran to the television set to see it.
(X-Statix#2)
- Following
O-Force's first mission, Doop accompanied X-Statix to a civil warzone,
where
Phat could not manage to activate his mutant powers. Discovering a
dirty bomb,
the Orphan ordered Venus Dee Milo to dispose of it while Doop filmed.
Venus did
so, but returned very drained, causing her to explode in a blast of
energy that
knocked over Doop and the others.
(X-Statix#3)
- After mutant
lawyer Sharon Ginsberg presented Spike Freeman with a court order
preventing
Venus Dee Milo from being an active member of X-Statix, Doop watched as
arguments ran rampant among its teammates. When a drunken Vivisector
refused to
go on a mission with many of the other X-Statix members absent, Doop
angrily
argued as Vivisector walked away.
(X-Statix#4)
- After the
Orphan paracuted alone into the small Minnesota town controlled by a
young
mutant named Arnie Lundberg, Venus Dee Milo rounded up Doop and the
others, who
came to the Orphan's aid when all seemed lost. Doop brought along its
camera
and filmed away as X-Statix made short work of the zombies raised by
Arnie.
Once Arnie was defeated and convinced to use his powers for good, Doop
filmed
footage of X-Statix leading the inhabitants of the town to safety. With
X-Statix reorganized, Doop and the others were shocked when the Orphan
recommended Arnie Lundberg for membership onto the team.
(X-Statix#5)
- Spike
Freeman met with the Orphan and Doop, who emitted an energy pulse to
dampen
Arnie's psychic powers, and discussed the reasons why the Orphan put
Arnie as
X-Statix as the Mysterious Fan Boy. Later, Doop was once again used for
his
psychic probe-prove energy pulse, as the Orphan met with the other
members of
X-Statix and told them that they needed to act like a real team while
Arnie was
around. When Arnie's identity was revealed by Lacuna on television,
X-Statix
set out to prove that Arnie was actually a hero now. Doop joined
X-Statix as
they decided to take down the escaped mutant convict Razorhead, which
resulted
in the deaths of both Razorhead and Arnie himself. Following Arnie's
death,
Doop watched "The Mysterious Fan Boy Funeral Special" on television,
as the other members went back to their old ways of arguing and
internal
warfare.
(X-Statix#6)
- Doop
controlled the remote when X-Statix watched television after the Orphan
had
quit the team. While watching, Spike Freeman informed the team that if
the
Orphan did not return to the team soon, X-Statix would be responsible
to taking
him out. Soon after, the heavily-costumed Bad Guy made his debut in
Hollywood,
attacking the set of "Lacuna & the Stars." X-Statix was quickly
called in to stop the Bad Guy's rampage and when the team began their
search,
Doop once again acted as camerman.
(X-Statix#7)
- While the
world thought that the Bad Guy was actually an insane Orphan, Venus Dee
Milo
awoke from a nightmare and took a walk down the hall, where Doop
surprised her
with its camera. The two teammates soon overheard Spike Freeman talking
with
the Anarchist about the Anarchist becoming the new team leader in the
Orphan's
absence. Doop and the rest of X-Statix later met with Lacuna, who asked
if they
would reveal the Bad Guy's identity on her show, therby helping both
them and
her. The team agreed.
(X-Statix#8)
- After Venus
Dee Milo discovered that the Bad Guy was actually an alien who had
taken the
form of her deceased cousin, the Orphan returned to the team in a press
conference that Doop and the others attended. Once back inside the
X-Statix
Tower, the Orphan began spouting orders to a reluctant Doop and
X-Statix.
Vivisector eventually revealed that the Anarchist had been made team
leader in
his absence. X-Statix later battled the Bad Guy once again, a fight
that Doop
filmed the footage to. During the battle, the Bad Guy was defeated when
Venus
teleported herself and Dead Girl to a remote location, where Venus
confronted
the fears of her dead cousin, causing the Bad Guy to die without
feeding on her
fears. That night, while the Orphan and Venus Dee Milo shared an
intimate
moment, Doop secretly gave a thumbs-up and watched the moment through
the
keyhole on their door.
(X-Statix#9)
- Doop joined
X-Statix on a mission Africa and later visited the set of the X-Statix
movie
alongside its teammates, where the team was introduced to el Guapo, a
young
mutant actor in the movie. It later joined X-Statix as they watched
film
footage of el Guapo and the Orphan's battle with Sharon Ginsberg, which
resulted in the deaths of the movie crew, effectively ending the
production of
the movie.
(X-Men
Unlimited I#41/2) - After
the male members of X-Statix displayed their powers for a group of
women, Doop
returned from a day of shopping with the female members of the team and
Venus
teleported the entire team back to Santa Monica.
(Wolverine/Doop#1)
- When
the Collector stole the mysterious Pink Mink from a local laboratory,
the lab
hired Wolverine to retrieve the Mink. In the process of attempting to
retrieve
it, Wolverine accidentally exposed the Mink to oxygen, allowing its
pink smoke
to fill the air and release the long-thought-mythical Pink Lady. Due to
the
Pink Lady's presence on the Earthly plane, three latent mutants
surfaced and
were placed in the custody of X-Statix. When a police officer came to
inspect
the first three "Pink Psychos," Doop said "Day of the Pink Psychos"
in Doopspeak, which, according to the Orphan, meant that the latent
mutants
were psychosomatic mutants. As the Orphan and Doop showed the officer
one of
the Pink Psychos, the Psycho sprouted claws similar to Wolverine's.
Knowing
this, Doop and the Orphan eyed each other suspisciously. Wolverine
eventually
came and asked Doop to help him figure out the mystery of the Pink Mink
and to
retrieve it. The duo visited the home of the Collector, where Doop
noticed that
his doorknob was shaped like an ancient Egyptian ankh. Breaking the
door down,
Doop and Wolverine made their way through a hallway filled with rare
art until
they found a room covered in pink paint. In the corner of the room was
the
Collector, who had hung himself and had the bucket of pink paint on his
head
with a note attached. After reading the note, which said "She's
real," Wolverine and Doop visited a bar, where Doop ordered Wolverine a
drink called a Pink Lady. Before he could even drink it, the drink
began to
morph into pink smoke, which Wolverine followed out into an alleyway,
where he
was visited by the Pink Lady herself. When Doop followed Wolverine
outside, all
it saw was Wolverine talking to a lamppost. Thinking Wolverine to be
suffering
from Code-X, Doop contacted the Orphan and Spike Freeman via a hidden
communicator and told them about Wolverine. Spike Freeman informed Doop
that if
Wolverine was indeed suffering from Code-X, then Doop would have to
kill
Wolverine. Doop pushed the communicator back inside itself and shed a
small tear
at the idea of having to kill its old friend. Back in the bar,
Wolverine
explained to Doop his encounter with the Pink Lady and then left to buy
some
more drinks for the two. During that time, Doop was visited by Pink
Lady as
well. Upon meeting the Pink Lady, Doop asked her in Doopspeak if it
could touch
her in a specific place, prompting the Pink Lady to respond with a "No.
You cannot touch me there." Looking over from the drink counter,
Wolverine
noticed Doop attempting to make love with a mop. Wolverine then went to
the
bathroom and mentally contacted Professor Xavier, telling him of his
suspiscion
that Doop may have been going insane. When Wolverine returned from the
bathroom, he found Doop battling the occupants of the bar, who had been
transformed into Pink Psychos. After the battle, Wolverine suggested
that he
and Doop go to a more salubrious establishment for a nightcap, as they
had a
long day ahead of them the next day. As they walked into the night,
Doop
secretly held a broken bottle in its hand, knowing that it would have
to kill
Wolverine if he continued to show signs of Code-X.
(Wolverine/Doop#2)
- While
Doop slept, Wolverine was contacted by Professor X, who suggested that
Wolverine create an imaginary scientist named Professor Van Hosen to
test
Doop's sanity. Doop soon awoke and found a pink dove nearby, which it
viciously
attacked until a book of matches fell out of it from a nightclub called
Blush,
which Doop had made up to test Wolverine's sanity. Wolverine suggested
that the
duo should make the nightclub their next stop. The duo took a
motorcycle to the
nightclub, but unknown to them, Hunter Joe had been hired by the
laboratory as
well and had sabotaged the motorcycle. The motorcycle lost a wheel
mid-transit,
causing Wolverine and Doop to fly from it. Doop quickly inflated
itself,
allowing Wolverine a safe landing. Upon landing, Hunter Joe attempted
to run
them over with a meat truck. Following the narrow escape from the meat
truck,
Doop surprisingly pointed out the Blush nightclub, where the duo met
with a
real Professor Van Hosen. Thinking each other insane, the duo began to
fight
each other in the nightclub, which resulted in a dislocated eyeball for
Doop.
After the fight, the duo spoke with Professor Van Hosen, who informed
them that
the Pink Lady had been captured by Hunter Joe. Wolverine and Doop
quickly
travelled to the laboratory, where they demanded from the scientist
present the
whereabouts of Hunter Joe's hideout. Confronting Hunter Joe, Doop and
Wolverine
were attacked by a group of animated hooks, which captured the duo.
Before
Hunter Joe could remove their heads for his collection, he was killed
by a
group of rampaging Pink Psychos, who had busted through the wall of his
hideout
in pursuit of the captive Pink Lady. Following the death of Hunter Joe,
Doop
and Wolverine met with the Pink Lady and Professor Van Hosen back at
the Blush
nightclub, where Doop attacked Wolverine when Wolverine commented that
the Pink
Lady wasn't its type. The Pink Lady then prepared to leave the club
with Van
Hosen until they were interrupted by the semi-recovered Wolverine and
Doop who
demanded the Mink from the Pink Lady. The next morning, Wolverine awoke
to the
Pink Lady in his bed and Doop presented them with a second Pink Mink,
explaining in Doopspeak that overnight, the Pink Mink had asexually
reproduced.
As the duo made their leave, the Pink Lady gave Doop a kiss in thanks
for
recovering the Pink Mink. Later, after Doop returned to its teammates
in
X-Statix, the team threw it a welcome back party by the pool, where
Dead Girl
rubbed suntan lotion on Doop's head. After the party, Doop returned to
his room
in the Tower, where it looked and smiled at the decapitated head of
Hunter Joe
on its wall. Startled by a whiff of pink smoke, Doop turned and winked.
(X-Statix#11)
- As Doop and
the other members of X-Statix decided to invite el Guapo into their
ranks, they
threw him a poolside party, attended by stars like film director Kevin
Smith
and Wolverine. At the party, Doop filmed footage of el Guapo until the
group
was interrupted by their wristwatches, which heralded a new mission.
Doop gave
el Guapo an angry look when he mentioned calling his girlfriend before
going
into a mission. Deciding that he'd call her later, el Guapo joined Doop
and the
others on a mission where he collided with a tree while being filmed by
Doop.
Doop was later present when el Guapo recovered from his injuries. As el
Guapo
began to fit in better with X-Statix, Doop taught him how to speak in
Doopspeak
and Doop also secretly filmed el Guapo as he slept with prostitutes.
When el
Guapo's "sleeping habits" made it into the Sleaze to Pleaze News
tabloid, an angry el Guapo attacked Doop at a bar, but was stopped by
the
Orphan.
(X-Statix#12)
- Doop joined
its teammates in watching Dead Girl's modeling debut on televison and
later
accompanied them when X-Statix mortician Brad Gutman's daughter,
Britney, went
on a shooting spree. Doop was later shocked when Dead Girl removed the
heart
from Brad Gutman's body, explaining that Brad had abused the dead in
the
mortuary. Following the death of Brad, Doop accompanied X-Statix to the
India/Pakistan border, where Dead Girl used her powers to discover
whether or
not the dead there wanted to be left there or taken back to their home
countries.
(X-Statix#13)
- Doop was
present with X-Statix as Spike Freeman explained to them that they were
to go
on a mission to Europa and retrieve the recently resurrected popstar,
Henrietta
Hunter. After the success of the mission, Doop met with Spike Freeman
and Henrietta
Hunter at Spago's restaurant in Los Angeles, where a Europan assassin
attempted
to kill Henrietta. Doop quickly jumped into action, ripping the
assassin to
shreds. Doop later joined its teammates in New York, where Henrietta
was
kidnapped by the Euro-Trash.
(X-Statix#14)
- Doop and
the others battled the Euro-Trash until they retreated inside a local
X-Statix
Store. Back at X-Statix Tower, Spike Freeman spoke with the Europan
agent
Reggie, whom he told not to worry about X-Statix and that the team had
gotten
fat and complacent. Unknown to Spike, Doop had tape recorded the
conversation
and played it for the team. Angry, the team tied up Spike Freeman
and
left to go save Henrietta Hunter from the Euro-Trash. After
slaughtering the
Euro-Trash, X-Statix held a press conference to announce the membership
of
Henrietta Hunter into their ranks. Doop attended the press conference
and was
later shocked with the rest of the team as Spike Freeman revealed that
Henrietta's ratings with the fans were so high that she would soon be
made the
new team leader. Doop joined X-Statix as they decided to just kill
Henrietta
before things got worse.
(X-Statix#15)
- Soon after
Henrietta's membership into X-Statix, random sniper-style killings
began to
happen across the United States. Vivisector met with Doop and the other
members
of the team to discuss what to do about them. Deciding that the random
killings
would be a poisoned chalice, the team decided to kill Henrietta, then
deal with
Spike Freeman. Teleporting aboard Henrietta's yacht, Doop and the rest
of
X-Statix planned to kill Henrietta until they were interrupted by
Lacuna, who
had hitched a ride of Venus Dee Milo's teleportational coattails. As
the
killings continued, U. S. Secretary of Homeland Defense Ed Wolfman
resigned,
just as X-Statix held a press conference. At the conference, in which
Doop
attended, Henrietta announced that she was the new X-Statix team
leader, as
well as the new U. S. Secretary of Homeland Defense.
(X-Statix#16)
- Doop
accompanied X-Statix as they searched for the one responsible for the
random
killings. Afterwards, Doop watched television with its teammates as
Henrietta
was pelted with trash for not finding the random killer yet. After
seeing that
reaction the public had toward Henrietta, the Anarchist claimed that
he hoped
the killings never stopped and then turned to look at Doop, whom he
asked to
not quote him. That night, evidence came into Lacuna's possession that
would
destroy X-Statix. Doop and the others stood around in X-Statix Tower as
the
Orphan argued with Spike Freeman about the truths behind the evidence.
Spike
Freeman revealed that the evidence was true and that each member of the
team
had made shady deals to make money. He revealed that Doop required
regular,
special medical treatment that costed an arm and a leg. Spike Freeman
then told
the team not to worry about Lacuna, what with all of the random
killings, an
act that cost him his life when the Orphan realized that Spike meant
that he
was to have Lacuna killed.
(X-Statix#17)
- When Lacuna
was shot, her lawyers presented the press with the evidence against
X-Statix as
Doop and the team watched in horror on television. Realizing that they
needed
to do something to improve their tarnished image, X-Statix decided that
they would
stop the random killer, who had by that time been revealed as Mister
Code and
his Random Killers. Doop joined the others as they teleported into
Mister
Code's suburban stronghold. During the battle, Henrietta's neck was
broken and
Mister Code exploded himself when the Orphan attempted to remove his
mask.
(X-Statix#18)
- Doop played
the role of priest at Phat's funeral, who had died in the explosion of
Mister
Code. Soon after the funeral, X-Statix discovered the post-humous
single that
Henrietta's record company had released was mysteriously killing
people. In
order to stop it, Doop and the others teleported to Europa, where they
caused
the record producer to suffer a heart attack. Attempting to get to the
bottom
of the mystery, X-Statix had Dead Girl sing the single and her skull
was
cracked by Phat's foot that had been ripped off during his death. After
discovering that the killer was Henrietta, who was exacting her revenge
on her
original Europan killers, X-Statix travelled to Europa, where they
confronted
the Europan president and forced him to sing the single. X-Statix
teleported
away just as Henrietta arrived to give the president her wrath.
(X-Statix#19)
- Doop
attended the movie premiere of "Teen Bump" with the Orphan, Venus Dee
Milo, Vivisector, and Vivisector's new lover/actor, Brandon Cody. While
there,
Doop smiled for the cameras, who focused much of their attention on
Vivisector.
Doop later joined its X-Statix teammates as they teleported onto the
set of
"Lacuna & the Stars" where they demanded that Lacuna's life
support plug not be pulled. Fortunately, Lacuna awoke and claimed she
was
healed by the power of her audience's prayers, much to the confusion of
Doop.
Afterwards, when Vivisector announced that a Dr. Alex Finlay was going
to rid
him of his mutant, an angry Doop and X-Statix argued with him over his
decision. Once Vivisector had went through the procedure, he appeared
on
television with Dr. Finlay, who burned books in an attempt to rile
Myles Alfred
into transforming into Vivisector. Doop and X-Statix watched on
television as
Myles was unable to transform due to the loss of his mutant powers.
Following
his breakup with Brandon Cody, Myles Alfred attempted to lodge with his
old
X-Statix teammates, but Doop explained to him that he had to move out
of
X-Statix Tower since he wasn't on the team anymore. Myles claimed that
he could
be their official chronicler, but the Orphan replied that they already
had Doop
for that, at which Doop made a rude gesture toward Myles. Their
conversation
was interrupted as X-Statix were called to Newfoundland to battle
mutated
loggers. During the struggle with the loggers, Doop, as always, acted
as
cameraman.
(X-Statix#20)
- After Dr.
Finlay injected himself with Myles' old Vivisector essence and became
the new,
evil Vivisector, Doop and the rest of X-Statix watched on television.
Thinking
Dr. Finlay to be their old teammates, X-Statix travelled to the Alfred
residence, where they found Dr. Finlay attacking Dr. Edward Alfred.
With Doop
filling the role of cameraman, X-Statix sat back and watched as normal
Myles
Alfred managed to defeat the Finlay Vivisector by stabbing him in the
eye with
an ink pen. Back at the X-Statix Tower, Myles realized that a scratch
from
Finlay restored his mutant powers and he rejoined the team.
(I
♥ Marvel: My Mutant
Heart#1/2 (fb)) - Not long after, Doop began to see Brigit Gilray, the
wife of
James Gilray. Worried that his wife was cheating, James hired a private
investigator named Chandler to trail his wife. Soon after taking the
job,
Chandler discovered Brigit's affair with Doop and became infatuated
with Doop
himself. Days went by, with Doop and Brigit renting a hotel together
and
sharing a night on the beach, while Chandler turned to drinking and
eventually
told Mr. Gilray about his wife and Doop. Flying into a mad rage, Mr.
Gilray
attacked Doop and Brigit with a gun until Chandler realized what Gilray
was
capable of and rushed to save them. He arrived in time to knock Gilray
out with
a single punch and then he and Doop rode off into the sunset...together.
(X-Statix#21)
- During a
mission to Moscow, Doop was kidnapped by Russian terrorists, who
removed Doop's
brain from his body and used it as a weapon against X-Statix.
Eventually,
X-Statix was forced to flee and seek the help of the mighty Avengers.
The
Avengers agreed to help, but during the battle, Thor threw his hammer
into
Doop's brain, where it became lodged. As the two teams began to fight
over how
to handle the situation, Thor removed his hammer, causing Doop's brain
to
explode into pieces that became scattered across the world. Back at
X-Statix
Tower, the Orphan managed to activate Doop's backup brain, which would
keep
Doop alive for three days.
(X-Statix#22
- BTS) - In
Thailand, the Anarchist battled Captain America over a piece of Doop's
brain,
with the Anarchist coming out the loser. Not long after, Dead Girl
fought with
the Scarlet Witch aboard the U. S. S. McKinley, with Dead Girl
retrieving a
piece of the brain.
(X-Statix#23
- BTS) - In
the African republic of Azania, Vivisector was tricked by Hawkeye, who
retrieved another piece of the brain for the Avengers and Venus Dee
Milo won
her piece of Doop's brain via a coin toss between her and Ant-Man.
(X-Statix#24
- BTS) - In
southern France, the Orphan allowed Iron Man to take another piece of
Doop's
brain.
(X-Statix#25)
- In Asgard,
Doop battled against the mighty Thor for the final piece of its own
brain. When
Thor threw his hammer at Doop, Doop managed to absorb the hammer into
itself
and then project about a dozen or more hammers back at Thor. Their
battle was
soon interrupted by the arrival of the Fatal Sisters, who had been
awakened by
the battle that raged above them. As Doop retrieved the brain piece
while Thor
battled the Fatal Sisters, the Avengers arrived in Asgard to aid Doop
and Thor.
Soon after their arrival, X-Statix arrived as well, prompting the Fatal
Sisters
to go back to their centuries-long sleep, claiming that thirteen heroes
were
too many and that the battles weren't yet loud enough. As the two teams
once
again began to fight each other over the brain pieces, the fight was
halted by
the passing out of Doop, whose backup brain had lost power. The Orphan
reacted
quickly and restored Doop's true brain back in its place, proving to
the Avengers
that X-Statix were responsible enough to house the living weapon known
as Doop.
Back at their Tower, X-Statix began discussing whether or not they
should
disband to the team, much to the surprise of a headache-ridden Doop.
(X-Statix#26
(fb)) - Deciding
to disband, X-Statix threw themselves a huge party, attended by Doop as
well as
many guests from the super hero crowd. During the party, the Orphan was
contacted by an unknown man who offered them millions of dollars for
one last
mission. The team all accepted and Doop attended the mission briefing.
After
discussing their plans for after the mission, Venus Dee Milo teleported
the
team inside the mansion overrun by armed gunmen.
(X-Statix#26)
- During
X-Statix's final mission, Venus Dee Milo exploded one final time in a
blast of
energy, this time killing Vivisector and Doop in the process. With Dead
Girl
dead to an unknown illness, the Orphan and the Anarchist were
eventually shot
down by the gunmen, effectively ending X-Statix's time in the
limelight.
(Nation X#4) - Waking up from a dream in which he was Wolverine, who
himself
was dreaming about Doop being Head of Criminal Investigation for Utopia
Island,
a somehow reborn Doop was comforted by a beautiful woman.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#17
(fb)) - Preparing to start up the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning,
Wolverine met with Doop at a strip club and offered him membership into
his
faction of the X-Men, claiming he would not leave until Doop said yes.
Despite
Doop’s best efforts to escape Wolverine by diving in an ice cold pond,
making
headcheese out of a pig, wrestling luchadores, and watching seventeen
hours of
Andy Warhol films, Doop finally agreed to join the adjunct staff of the
Jean
Grey School after he convinced Wolverine to dress up as Cyclops and
stab
himself in the face at a playhouse.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#1 -

staff,
“Professor” Doop took up choir of one of the classes he taught.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#17
(fb)) - With construction of the Jean Grey School beginning, Doop and
Wolverine
discussed Doop’s true purpose at the School: to use his connections in
the
wrong places to defend the School from threats before they arrive.
Wolverine
then explained that Doop’s protective actions would have to remain a
secret.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#1
(fb)) - Doop ran the Student Registration desk at the Jean Grey School
while
Wolverine showed Professor X the campus.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#1) -
The following day, when the New York State Department of Education came
to
inspect the Jean Grey School, Doop was present at the Student
Registration
desk, pointing incoming students in the right direction.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#3) -
After an attack on the School by the new, younger Hellfire Club, Doop
and the
other staff confronted the Club, warning them to stay away from the
School.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#4) -
Doop helped Toad with the groundskeeping at the Jean Grey School,
raking leaves
while Toad gathered them into bags.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#5) -
Tasked with teaching an Introduction to Religion class, Doop told his
students
to watch Monty Python’s Life of Brian, The
Exorcist III, and Ghostbusters
while he fell asleep, warning them not to wake him up or else.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#6) -
When the school was attacked by Professor Xanto Starblood , Doop and
Husk
prepared to investigate the intrusion but Kitty Pryde ordered them to
keep the
students in lockdown while she handled the situation.
(Astonishing X-Men
III#51) - Along with many other X-Men, Doop attended the ceremony of
the wedding of Northstar to his partner, Kyle Jinadu.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#9) -
As Captain America arrived at the Jean Grey School seeking Wolverine,
Doop
waved from his Student Registration desk then watched in horror as the
built-in
Danger Room of the School “tested” Cap, eventually grading Cap with a
B-minus.
After speaking with Cap, Wolverine called a faculty meeting, where he
told Doop
and the other faculty that the Phoenix Force was headed for Earth. He
also
explained that he would aiding the Avengers against it and asked the
faculty to
stay at the School to protect the students.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#10) -
When Cyclops and his faction of the X-Men arrived at the Jean Grey
School
attempting to recruit Wolverine’s faction against the Avengers, Doop
and many
of the student body watched as Cyclops and Wolverine had a heated
conversation
on the School’s grounds. Doop then returned to his Student Registration
in time
to greet Wolverine and Cyclops when they entered the School itself.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#13) -
During the battle against the Avengers, the Shi’ar Gladiator was
gravely
injured by the Phoenix Five and was brought to the Jean Grey School for
medical
aid. Seeing the emergency, Kitty Pryde, Husk and Doop rushed to
Gladiator’s
aid.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#14) -
Kitty Pryde held a faculty meeting, where she asked each of them the
status of
the School, given that many of their staff had joined in the fight for
the
Phoenix Force. When she asked Doop, he replied in Doopspeak, to which
Kitty
explained she had no idea what Doop had said. He remained at the
faculty
meeting until it was interrupted by the arrival of the
Phoenix-empowered
Colossus, who was seeking a date with Kitty. When Kitty spurned his
advances,
an angry Colossus prepared to destroy the School but Doop, wielding a
giant
gun, and the other faculty stood in his way. Defeating them all easily,
Colossus threatened Kitty then quickly realized what he was becoming
and left.
Later, Angel, Rachel Grey and Iceman returned to the School after
realizing
their mistake in siding with Cyclops as Doop and the other faculty
cleaned up
the mess left by Colossus.
(Wolverine
& the X-Men#17) -
Wolverine and Deathlok-10511 walked through the halls, where Wolverine
asked
Deathlok about the evaluations on the faculty. The two came to a stop
at Doop,
who was asleep at his Student Registration desk. Later, Doop attended a
faculty
meeting where he once again fell asleep, prompting Iceman to wonder
what Doop
was even doing there but Wolverine continually replied that Doop was
there
because he was asked. Some time later, Doop was awoken in the empty
faculty meeting
room when he received a global trouble search alert on his cellphone.
Doop then
traveled to Wham Bowling Lanes to defeat the League of Nazi Bowlers
before they
could become the master of the Salem Center bowling alley. Battling the
League,
Doop inhaled the bowling balls thrown at him then spit them out at the
Nazi
Bowlers with the force of a machine gun, effectively defeating them
all. Still
burping up bowling balls at the next Jean Grey School faculty meeting,
Doop
next slept with both male and female members of the Westchester County
School
Board to change their minds on condemning the Jean Grey School because
it
housed mutants. Growing steadily more exhausted from his secret duties,
Doop
was seduced by Warbird before traveling back in time to the year 1652,
where he
saved Josiah Xavier from future real estate investors who wanted the
Xavier
land. Saving Josiah Xavier but driven off by Wappinger indians, Doop
returned
to the present and secretly teamed up with Howard the Duck against
Dimension
ZZZ’s Robo-Barbarians, defeating them using only a broken sword, a
rubber
chicken with nails in it and a gun that shoots bees. Returning to Earth
in time
to share a night with Warbird and join She-Hulk and Tigra in a roller
derby
tournament, Deep slept his way through cafeteria work and later met
with
Sabretooth, who was trying to recruit Doop for his own reasons. Angry
that Doop
wasn’t paying attention to him, Sabretooth attacked Doop. After setting
Sabretooth on fire and escaping to join She-Hulk and Tigra in another
roller
derby, Doop tried to evade Beast’s attempts to get him to try out
Beast’s new
brain-melting helmet by relaxing with a bath, only to find that it was
time for
his mandatory Danger Room session. In quick succession, Doop defeated
Fin Fang
Foom and an army of monsters before finally testing Beast’s helmet,
only to
mess up Beast’s calculations by not revealing the backup brain in his
butt.
After Gambit and Cannonball sought Doop out for Cajun Cooking Night,
Doop was
accidentally run over with a lawnmower by Toad, who argued that the
green-colored Doop should not lay in the green grass. Soon after
defeating a
demon (possibly Satan) in guitar by playing funk, Doop was contacted by
Man-Thing for a fishing trip, Lockheed for golf, and Deadpool with some
TNT.
Continuing to sleep when possible in between the Bamfs playing tricks
on him
and destroying a nun’s laptop because she complained about the Jean
Grey
School, Doop fell asleep in the School’s hallways, where Wolverine
found him
and whispered for him to keep up the good work.
(Avengers
Academy#38) - Joining the
Jean Grey School faculty on Mar-Vell Field at the Avengers Academy
compound,
Doop met many of the Avengers Academy students during a flag football
match
between the two schools. After Doop spoke, White Tiger warned that
while smack
talk was one thing, it sounded as if Doop had said something obscene.
Uncaring,
Doop floated off to watch the game, viewing Reptil’s football catch and
Wolverine’s subsequent tackling of Giant-Man, which resulted in both
Wolverine
and Giant-Man being ejected from the game by the robotic Jocasta. Doop
then
watched as Tigra was also ejected for attacking Wolverine in payback
for his
tackling of Giant-Man.
Comments: Created by Peter
Milligan and Michael
Allred.
According to the
Marvel Encyclopedia Vol. 2: X-Men, Doop profile,
Doop's powers
were maxed out, as seen on their "power ratings" chart. He never
displayed any of these godlike abilities, with the exception of
superhuman
strength. His intelligence, strength, speed, durability, energy
projection, and
fighting skills were all rated at a number 7, which equals out to
omniscient
intelligence, incalculable strength in excess of 100 tons, speed that
transcends light speed, virtual indestructibility, an unlimited command
of all
forms of energy, and a master of all forms of combat, respectively.
Given that
Doop punched Thor to the ground, it is possible that it also possessed
the intelligence,
speed, durability, and energy projection on the level that it was
ranked, but
never showed them.
Another thing I'd
like to point out is that the world inside Doop's
body was
not named in the actual comic of X-Force I#123. I got the name from the
partial
script written in the back of the book, as part of Marvel's 2002
company
crossover called "'Nuff Said."
Molly
Hayes
had a stuffed toy of Doop in Runaways I#4-6.
A
homeless man
was seen holding a "Doop Lives" sign in Toxin#4 (written by Peter
Milligan).
I
decided to add the My Mutant
Heart story in Doop's history in between X-Statix#20-21 because that
was the
most recent I could add it chronoligically. Plus, the All-New Official
Handbook
of the Marvel Universe A to Z#3 states that the story involving Doop
and
Chandler took place at some point in Doop's past prior to his death. I
just
decided to fit the story in at the earliest chronological point that I
could,
given that there was nothing in the actual story that pinpointed it to
a specific
point in Doop's past.
One
of the monster seen fighting
Doop in Wolverine & the X-Men#17 appeared to be Groot, as he
appeared in
his 1st appearance. Since Groot was with the
Guardians of the Galaxy
and was much smaller in size at the time, I’m going to say that Doop
was
fighting another of Groot’s race, the Flora, since the alien is not
named in
the story. Another of the monsters resembled a red-colored Krakoa...
