Fictional character biography
editDoctor Ub'x is a H'lvenite, a rodent-like alien originating from the planet H'lven in Sector 1014. He attempts to conquer his planet before fellow H'lvenite Ch'p becomes a Green Lantern and defeats him.
When the multiverse is destroyed in Crisis on Infinite Earths, Ub'x survives by using his Sucker Stick to transform into pure energy. He reconciles with and befriends Ch'p due to the two being among the few beings who remember the original universe before relocating to Africa and creating a rodent-like species similar to the H'lvenites.
