In Crisis on Infinite Earths, the multiverse is destroyed, and Ch'p and Ub'x are among the few who remember the previous timeline.[4] They eventually reconcile and become friends before Ch'p is hit and killed by a yellow tractor-trailer.[5][1] Afterward, B'dg replaces him as the Green Lantern of Sector 1014.
