Bolovax Vik is home to about 60 billion Bolovax. They are renowned for advancements in science and a central government system. The Bolovax also telepathically submit their minds to a collective named the mass mind. The planet is also home to every Green Lantern of Space Sector 674. After the death of the current Lantern, Branwilla, the mass mind chose Kilowog, an expert in genetics. Despite the implications of leaving the mass mind and his pregnant wife, Kilowog accepted the nomination.
Kilowog trained alongside Tomar-Re under Sergeant Deegan. Despite constant berating, Kilowog proved his worth and put his own life on the line for his classmates. However, on the night before the third trial, Kilowog challenged Deegan and was beaten in unarmed combat. The group was unexpectedly reassigned to Chiraka to stop a Khundian invasion. Deegan was nearly executed by Kilowog launced a taser sweep that neutralized the enemy forces. Deegan gave his parting words and painted the lantern symbol on Kilowog's chest with his blood. Kilwog fit in well to the Green Lantern Corps and went on to become one of the best trainers and a member of a sub-group of Lanterns with the highest seniority alongside Sinestro, Abin Sur, and Tomar Re. He also adopted Deegan's slang for raw recruits, "poozer."
