History

Early Years

Information about Doop's origins, as with anything else about him, is difficult to verify.

According to Captain America, the U.S. government created him in a secret Cold War weapons project. Seemingly unable to learn English, He spoke an alien language (which somehow almost everyone understood or managed to learn anyway). Allegedly, he had a role in the fall of communism in the Eastern Bloc. Doop also at some point met Wolverine.

He has a mother, Mama Doop, with whom he seems to have difficult relations.

At some other point, during an affair with a woman, Doop ditched her to be with the private detective her husband hired to find him. The private detective's name was Chandler, a nod to Raymond Chandler, the hard-boiled fiction writer who created Philip Marlowe.

X-Statix/X-Force

Doop joined the mutant team X-Force as their official videographer. Soon afterward, most of X-Force died, and the survivors (including Doop) became X-Statix. There was some suspicion that he had a hidden agenda; if so, nothing ever came of it. He became a popular member, whose line of official merchandise sold well.

In X-Statix's penultimate adventure, Doop's brain exploded. His teammates and the Avengers competed to find the scattered parts and reassemble them. Able to function with his secondary brain, Doop fought Thor Odinson (Earth-616) for the last part and restored his primary brain. However, Doop would later die in a hail of bullets, as did the rest of X-Statix on their final mission.

Return

Later, when a group of X-Men were on a mission in space, Polaris witnessed a strange thing in space, which was later revealed to be Doop. After M-Day, the now depowered Gazer also apparently saw Doop through his telescope.

Doop then fell from space to Earth, crashing in Costa Rica in close proximity to Polaris and Havok, revealing himself as Doop, alive but deformed. Doop had a strange behaviour, acting like a child, attacking continuously Havok who was uncomfortable about him, and apparently talking to only Polaris (who called him Daap).

Eventually Havok tried to destroy Doop, causing Doop to encapsulate both a nearby Leper Queen and Polaris within himself and shoot off into space. The two women were instantly captured by an overlooking Apocalypse into his ship, while Doop was rejected into the nature.

Jean Grey School for Higher Learning's time

After the Schism between Cyclops's Utopians X-Men and Wolverine's side, Doop joined the latter, becoming the receptionist of Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. His role is clearly contested by the School staff, as he appears to be a thief, lazy and useless.

However, he really is busy at school, asked by Logan to take care of the threats he could not handle with his own responsibility. He was seen battling various enemies, receiving even the help of Howard the Duck. Doop also had an active sexual life, becoming sexually involved with Warbird.

Powers

Doop's powers seemed to appear as needed. They could have been magical, psionic, or cosmic in nature.

• Genius Intelect and Psionic Powers: Doop apparently is a genius with great intelligence, additionally possesses incredible mental powers, even when his brain is broken into pieces. Doop apparently is a genius with great intelligence, additionally possesses incredible mental powers, even when his brain is broken into pieces. I achieve, for example, levitate dozens of people who were far away, or throw incredible rays of energy. Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z #3
• Levitation and Fly: Doop could manipulate gravitons to float in place or fly quickly. Doop can move fast enough for even Thor to react to his attacks.
• Cohesion: Doop could change his size and shape at will. He could also shift his form to "heal" wounds. When dispersed, parts of his body could reassemble themselves. For some reason, parts of his brain could not reassemble, possibly because of a redundant brain in his lower torso.
• Superhuman Strength: Doop has a large amount of 100+ class strength whose limit is unknown. He is strong enough to fight Thor, even when Doop was weakened he was powerful enough to match or even overcome Thor in strength.
• Superhuman Durability: Doop has an incredible superhuman resistance, his body is powerful enough to have survived such things as the Mjolnir being stuck in his brain, falling from outer space to the earth, receiving Thor's blows and other attacks. Doop can survive in the vacuum of space without breathing.
• Accelerated Regenerative Factor:Doop can heal from incredibly serious wounds in a few seconds, it also doesn't seem to bleed.
• Resurrection: Doop apparently has the ability to resurrect, after receiving damage to his primary brain and being shot dead Doop remained in space, but when he returned to earth he seemed to have revived.
• Dimension Gate: Doop could assimilate objects, usually by mouth (but also by holes forming and closing from his body, and send them into another dimension (Doop Land) for storage. Doop Land has significant differences from many other dimensions. This dimension seems also to vary in space, time, and also depending on the people contained. Doop was able to absorb the Mjolnir and drop a large number of exactly the same hammers, which even responded to Thor's call. Although they proved not to possess the resistance of the original.

He is aware of the margins of the comic and the real world. He has even shown that he has the ability to travel between the margins of the pages from one side to the other, and time travel. It has been said that his ability can dig the real world and allows Doop to travel between time and space to Doop Space. This world has also been called Marginalia, the world between worlds, the world that begins where the story ends. {r

• During his return, Doop (if he is the so-called Daap) seems to have regressed, unstable both mentally and physical. It can have been caused by the shock of his friends death, his time in space and/or his crash. His words had no meaning during this time, but Lorna was apparently able to understand him, making some to believe he had some empathic or telepathic powers. However, Lorna was known for having been fragile mentally during this time, and the loss of her powers may have pushed her further into only thinking she could understand him.
