Doctor Ub'x was a criminal on H'lven, a planet located in Sector 1014. He was an enemy of its Green Lantern, Ch'p.

Pre-Crisis

Doctor Ub'x became a powerful ruler who conquered most of the planets in his sector and the defeated the resident Green Lantern. When Ub'x turned his attention on conquering H'lven, his home planet, he faced the resistance led by Ch'p, but he overpowered them, and sentenced Ch'p to be executed. However, Ch'p escaped from his cell when a Guardian of the Universe appeared to him in his cell and offered him a power ring, becoming the new Green Lantern of sector 1014. With his new power, Ch'p defeated Ub'x and his army, and they became sworn enemies since.[1]

Time and time again Ub'x attacked Ch'p to test his abilities. One day, he learned his secret identity and kidnapped Ch'p's girlfriend, M'nn'e, demanding the Green Lantern to give up his ring to save her. Ch'p tricked him and saved M'nn'e, thwarting Ub'x's plan. Since there are no cages in H'lven, Ch'p allowed his enemy to be free. Dr. Ub'x retreated to his well-guarded fortress to hatch a new plot.[1]

Post-Crisis

Mixing his knowledge of science and new abilities with sorcery, Ub'x created the "Sucker Stick," a weapon to match his enemy's Power Ring. The Stick allowed Ub'x to obtain knowledge about the Guardians of the Universe, their Green Lantern Corps, and the imminent Crisis on Infinite Earths. Just as the Crisis struck his world, Ub'x used his new power to keep himself from being erased from history, turning himself into an energy form. Ub'x eventually followed his nemesis to Earth, where he engaged the members of the Green Lantern Corps of Earth, first in several disguises, and then in his true form.[2]

Defeating Ch'p and his companions, Ub'x prepared to slay his enemy once and for all, but suddenly realized that Ch'p was the only remaining connection to his past. Unable to kill the Green Lantern, Ub'x lost control of his Sucker Stick and was almost erased from history, but Ch'p intervened to prevent his demise. The two former adversaries called a truce and eventually became friends.[1]

Ub'x moved to Africa, where he hoped to evolve the native rodents to a similar state as the H'lvenites.[3] Ub'x got involved on a time-trip to the 58th Century, where he discovered that, afte centuries of evolution, the same rodents he experimented with in Africa evolved to a similar breed as the H'lvenites. However, these rodent creatures (dubbed the Breakers or B'rks in the future) were at war with the Solarites, and Ub'x wanted to help his fellow rodents get rid of their enemies. After the intervention of Ch'p and other Green Lanterns, the conflict was averted, but Ub'x decided to stay with the B'rks instead of returning to his home planet in the 20th Century.[4]
