Doop

Doop is a strange floating little green potato-like creature from the plane of Marginalia, who hangs out with X-Teams. Originally a cameraman for the reality show superhero team X-Statix, his motivations are shrouded in secrecy as he navigates the margins of the Marvel universe. His powers and actions appear mysterious and inconsistent due to his extradimensional origin; he was supposedly brought into the main world by an Ingmar Bergman doodle that ruined his parents’ marriage, but in reality, his parents were one person and he was created by a hospital orderly.
