Biography
His origins were traced to near the end of the Cold War when he was built as part of the Doop Project. (X-Statix v1 #21) One account held that he was born to Mama Doop and Papa Doop. (All-New Doop v1 #4) He was deployed in that conflict where it was noted that he was instrumental in bringing about the fall of the Berlin Wall that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. (X-Statix v1 #21)
Decades later, Doop joined X-Force as their cameraman and was charged with capturing the events of the team’s missions as well as behind-the-scenes footage. As the team’s primary purpose was financial gain, rather than adventure or general heroics, the videos Doop recorded were the team’s major source of income next to merchandising. To that end, Doop was never active in field missions, always staying behind the camera. Nevertheless, Doop was still considered part of the team and gained a huge fan following. Along with U-Go Girl and the Anarchist, Doop was one of only three team members to survive when a mission to save the band Boys 'R' Us turned into a massacre. At a press conference to introduce the new team roster following this tragedy, the original X-Force team attacked the group that had publicly adopted their name. When Doop was held at gunpoint by Domino, Mister Sensitive, who had just been announced as the new team leader, subdued her and saved Doop, earning his respect. (X-Force v1 #117) During an interview with Wolverine for a segment titled "Doop's Eye View of the New X-Force Team’s First Year", Doop gave Wolverine a tape to look after and asked him to keep an eye on his new teammates. X-Force's manager, The Coach, wanted to get rid of both U-Go Girl and Mister Sensitive and attempted to have them killed. Luckily for them, Wolverine intervened and handed Mister Sensitive the tape, telling him that someone was looking out for him. The tape had footage showing that the massacre on the Boys R Us mission was planned by The Coach. (X-Force v1 #120)
Later on, Doop popped what was seemingly a pimple on his forehead which resulted in a vortex forming that sucked the entire X-Force team inside Doop’s head. Doop panicked and followed by reaching into the hole left by the pimple and turning himself inside out. Inside his own dark imagination, Doop rescued each team member from horrors based on their own fears before rushing back through the hole in his forehead. Doop squeezed the pimple once more and the team reappeared in their quarters, unaware that anything had actually taken place. (X-Force v1 #123)
