5 unusual facts about Pip the Troll


Pip the Troll

Pip the Troll was introduced by Jim Starlin in Strange Tales vol 2 #179 (Feb 1975) to be a comic foil to the story's main protagonist, Adam Warlock.

Afterwards, Pip was given the Space Gem by Warlock, keeping it between his toes for safekeeping.

When Warlock had control of the Infinity Gauntlet, he had forced out the good and evil sides of himself.

There he meets Adam Warlock, whose alternate future self the Magus would become the leader of the Church of Truth.

Thanos destroyed Pip's mind, but Adam was able to absorb Pip's soul into the Soul Gem (killing his mindless body, but restoring full mental function to his soul), reuniting him with the spirits of Gamora and eventually Adam Warlock in Soulworld within the Soul Gem.
