Qwsp is a creature native to the 5th Dimension, a literal five-dimensional state of reality run by impish beings under the banner of two princes, Yz and Lkz. Like many of his ilk, Qwsp left the 5th Dimension to explore the regions of three-dimensional Earth. Shortly after arriving on Earth, Qwsp allied himself with the sea king known as Aquaman and his young partner, Aqualad. He shared in many of their adventures together and developed a close bond with each of them. On their first encounter, Qwsp aided the heroes in defeating three Fire Trolls rampaging near a volcanic region of Atlantis. Some time later, he returned to help Aquaman repel an invasion by the warlike Suvian conquerors.
