Origin
For as long as could be remembered, the planet Bolovax Vik had been the home base of the Green Lanterns of Sector 674. When Green Lantern Branwilla died, the citizens of Bolovax Vik used their ability to join minds into a "mass mind" and decided to choose Kilowog as the next Green Lantern. It was believed that his skills as a geneticist would serve him in diplomatic relations with other races.
Leaving his home planet, Kilowog excelled at the regiment of the Green Lantern Corps, becoming both a recruiter and trainer of new members. One of his many pupils was Hal Jordon of Earth.

Kilowog served with the Corps until he was slain by his former student, who after losing his mind became the galactic menace Parallax. Although he was dead, Kilowog's spirit was resurrected as part of a plot by the demon Neron.

Vengeful over the destruction of the Green Lantern Corps and the planet Oa, Kilowog's spirit was restless until Jordon, resurrected as the Spectre, was instrumental in the planet's resurrection. Although no longer desiring vengeance Kilowog remained for a time a wandering spirit known as the Dark Lantern
