He made his live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Eternals (2021), voiced by Patton Oswalt.

After a brief appearance in a back-up feature in Cosmic Powers Unlimited #4 (1996), the character was not seen again until 2002 when Starlin used him in Infinity Abyss #1-6.

Pip is originally known as Prince Gofern of the planet Laxidazia, in the Dolenz System, in the Milky Way galaxy.

Pip becomes physically and psychologically mutated into a morally degenerate, stunted, satyr-like form known as a "troll" during a bout of drunkenness brought on by a mutagenic hallucinogenic ale.

After his transformation, his people, also sick of his lewd, lecherous, and hedonistic behavior, strip him of his office and rank.

[5] Eventually the threat of the Magus is neutralized and Pip parts company with Adam on the world of Sirus X.

[7] Pip, Gamora, and Warlock return to the corporeal world during the Infinity Gauntlet incident by taking over bodies of three crash victims.

[10] Alongside Rintrah, Pip time-travels to Earth's Jurassic era to rescue Firelord and Drax the Destroyer.

This, and the kidnapping of other superheroes, brings everyone together, Pip included, at Avengers Mansion and actually spurs on the heroic efforts of the rest of the super-powered community.

[18] Professor X proceeds to make telepathic contact with one of the Goddess' thralls, Pip's former ally, Moondragon.

Pip secretly touches Xavier and his powers make contact through the link, allowing him to know the location of the Goddess because Moondragon knows it.

He reflects on many plans for Earth, such as making super-powered beings wash his car and changing all the females, including the overweight and elderly, into shapely, twenty-something women.

One of his goals is to gain revenge on the Hulk for forcibly bathing him; however, he realizes none of this will make him truly happy, and therefore decides on something that will: a simple birthday party thrown for him by his friends.

Pip is next seen when Hela, Norse goddess of death, appears in disguise and hires X-Factor Investigations to find a missing pendant of Thor's hammer.

When Jamie Madrox and Banshee track it down and take it off of the neck of a drunken bar patron, he reverts to Pip the Troll.

[23] This angers X-Factor leader Madrox, who feels responsible, and the team travels to Las Vegas and saves the troll with the help of Thor.

[28] When in possession of the Space Gem, Pip could theoretically access virtually incalculable powers, but chose to use it merely for transportation and teleportation.

When forced into battle, he tends to appear directly above his adversary's head, intending to deliver a powerful blow.
