Pip the Troll (Pip Gofern)

Pip the Troll is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

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

Pip the Troll was introduced by Jim Starlin in Strange Tales vol 2 #179 (February 1975) to be a comic foil to the story's protagonist, Adam Warlock. Pip returned in Strange Tales vol 2 #180-181 (March–April 1975) and Warlock vol 1 #9-12 (October 1975-Jan 1976) before his death in Avengers Annual #7 (March 1977).

Starlin revived the character years later in Silver Surfer vol 3 #46 (December 1990). Pip played a role in the 1991 Infinity Gauntlet crossover before joining the titular team of Warlock and the Infinity Watch in issue two (March 1992). He appeared in the title until its cancellation in 1995 with issue 42. During its run, the character was also featured in the Infinity War, Infinity Crusade, and Blood and Thunder crossovers.

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. He returned in Marvel: The End #5-6 (2003) and Thanos #3-4 (2004), She-Hulk #12-13 (2005), and X-Factor #207-213 (2010–2011).
