Comics Characters Revealed - Ch'p

From the deepest dark of space comes the scourge of evildoers and nuts everywhere...


Ch'p

That's right, friends, for a time there was a squirrel in the Green Lantern Corp. Or maybe Ch'p was a Chipmunk. Not even the creators were sure as he appeared as both during his short and storied career. But whatever he was, he was from outer space, a fact you glean from the lack of an "i" in his name. Or maybe that just means that he's always thinking of others, never of himself. Whatever.

All I know is that a superhero with a cute bowtie wins in my book any day.

Unfortunately, Ch'p is no longer with us. He was dispatched to patrol Mosaic World and while there, was struck by a yellow tractor-trailer and was killed. A sad day for those of us who love truth, justice, and cute rodents.
