Ch’od is one of the founding members of the Starjammers. Though he can be a fierce combatant, he is usually genial and friendly in social interactions (though his sheer size and lizard-like appearance can be intimidating to those unfamiliar with him or his species). Ch’od is accompanied by his small, furry intelligent alien pet Cr’reee, from the planet Lupus.

History
Ch'od was born on the planet Timor (Varanus IV), in the Shi'ar Empire. He was once a slave on the planet Alsibar, where he met the other original three beings who would become Starjammers, and Corsair lead a rebellion. The group ended up operating out of a powerful starship, and gained the membership of Sikorsky, a powerful, insectoid doctor.
As with the other original three Starjammers, Ch'od was once a slave, until Corsair led a rebellion. The group ended up operating out a powerful starship and gained the membership of Sikorsky, a powerful, insectoid doctor. Ch'od has been with the Starjammers through all their adventures, such as engaging in combat against the alien Brood, helping Professor X gain an entirely new body and being on the run from the Shi'ar Empire when they harbored its longtime ruler, Lilandra. The Starjammers not only have the trust of the X-Men, but the Earth's other major super-hero team, the Avengers.
For a time he and his fellow Starjammers were imprisoned and replaced by Skrulls, who were attempting to conquer the Shi'ar empire. The X-Men help rescue him. Ch'od assisted when the Hulk needed help infiltrating an alien empire that was threatening the lives of his friends.
Ch'od suffered the death of his loyal friend Corsair at the hands of Corsair's son Vulcan and less tragically, teammate Hepzibah's stranding on Earth. Several X-Men remained with the Starjammers.
Ch'od and the rest of the Starjammers now led by Corsair's other son Alex Summers fought to depose and kill Emperor Vulcan but were captured and tortured by Vulcan for months before gaining their freedom. After gaining their freedom the Starjammers, now joined by former Majestrix of the Shi'ar Lilandra Neramani, sought asylum in the Kree Stellar Empire. The Kree, now ruled by the Inhumans, granted them asylum but the Kree empire was attacked by Vulcan and the Shi'ar which led to war.
The Starjammers fought alongside the Kree but suffered many losses, among them the capture of Raza Longknife who was made the host of the alien symbiote Zzzxx and the death of Lilandra. Ch'od and the Starjammers eventually managed to rescue Raza and free him from the Symbiote. After Vulcan's death the Shi'ar surrendered to the Kree.
Ch'od returned with the Starjammers to Scott Summers' established house on the moon.
