History
Chipp was a Sparkitect hired by Mojo to use the power of the Sparkitendrils to spice up the mundane life of Howard the Duck, who was the unwitting protagonist of his own reality show, which was secretly filmed by Mojo and broadcast across the galaxy.
However, Mojo started blackmailing Chipp and his partner Jho, threatening to reveal what they had been doing to their superiors. In order to get Mojo off their backs, Chipp and Jho decided to influence Howard's life into sending him right to Mojo to dismantle his operation. The plan appeared to have worked until Chipp and Jho realized Mojo was eventually going to find out they were trying to betray him.
The two Sparkitects flew to the Earth in an attempt to intercept Mojo before he could retaliate against them. When they arrived to the scene of Mojo's fight against Howard the Duck, Chipp tried to defuse the situation and convince Mojo to calm down in exchange of trying to talk their bosses into agreeing to make Mojo the protagonist of the next big crossover, but Mojo refused.
The Iron Punisher joined the brawl, having being part of a backup plan put in motion back in Sparkitron in case Mojo didn't give in. The distraction caused by this turn of events gave Chipp the opportunity to run back to his ship, but Howard tackled him, fueled by rage for having being victim of the Sparkitects' manipulation.
Chipp held Howard at knifepoint, and tried to use him as leverage to escape from Mojo to another universe. When Chipp was distracted by the sudden absence of Jho and their ship, Howard broke free from his grasp and started to beat him up. Chipp managed to reach his knife and stabbed Howard in the stomach.[1]
Chipp stole from Howard a spheric calling card given by Scout, and imbued himself with its Power Cosmic, with the intention to use it to escape to the far reaches of the cosmos. Howard was brought back to life by Doctor Strange, and took advantage of the sphere's ability to summon Scout, who absorbed the Power Cosmic from Chipp. Powerless, Chipp was easily knocked out by Howard and later arrested by his superiors.[2]Trivia
- Chipp is a surrogate of Chip Zdarsky, the writer of Howard the Duck.
