Kilowog, gruff and tough, is Hal Jordan's old drill sergeant. The loss of his homeworld, Bolovax Vix, and family has made Kilowog naturally cautious. He never acts without a plan and believes in doing things by the book.

After learning about Lantern killers in Frontier Space, Kilowog snuck away to and waited by the Interceptor with two Power Batteries. As he anticipated, Hal Jordan soon arrived. Together, they activated the Interceptor and convinced its A.I. to take them to Frontier Space. They rescued a Green Lantern named Shyir Rev and battled two Red Lanterns. On Rev's home planet, Colony 12, Kilowog was reminded of his own home. Colony 12, too, was soon in trouble when the Red Lantern Corps arrived. As Rev held back the detonation sequence in vain, his words spurred Kilowog to save the colonists. As he struggled to hold them all in space, Kilowog found Jordan. The Interceptor arrived and took in the colonists.

Kilowog didn't waste much time and began to interrogate Razer to no avail. Despite Jordan's reservations about the Spider Guid Prison, Kilowog was not as hesitant and quickly remanded custody to the warden, Myglom. After the Interceptor departed, Kilowog sighted someone outside. He and Jordan investigated and found Goggan, a prisoner who escaped. They broke into the prison to investigate but were captured. Much to his surprise, Razer arrived and saved them from certain death. And in an even bigger surprise, Jordan requested Razer come along with them. Kilowog believed Jordan would have made him the temporary new warden, instead. Things remained tense between Kilowog and Razer. During the course of a rescue operation, Razer came to respect Kilowog's bravery and Kilowog, in part for having his life saved by Razer. On Betrassus, Kilowog faked his own death in order to draw out the person attempting to kill Green Lanterns. Though overplayed, Kilowog sent an elaborate ring construct to find a successor. Prince Ragnar took the bait and was soon arrested.

While searching a Class G planet, Kilowog encountered a woman and tried to save her from several floating creatures. Kilowog began to succomb to the effects on Yellow Minerals and became victim to his fears. In an effort to protect the Zoar and his new love interest, Kilowog led an offensive against the Nidara and even tried to kill Hal Jordan. Once Kilowog was stripped of items made of the mineral, all that remained was what he ingested from Galia's soup. Jordan managed to reason with him to stop. As Jordan and Kilowog prepared to depart, Leph proclaimed Kilowog would always be one of the Zoar. Since then, Kilowog was distraught and he thought of Galia. Shockingly, he encountered on Zamaron after meeting the Star Sapphire Corps. Galia was now a Sapphire and encased Kilowog in a violet rehabilitation crystal. Kilowog was trapped in some form of stasis but was freed by Hal Jordan. After destroying the Lighthouse, Kilowog took his personal power battery with him when Atrocitus' ship was investigated. They were fooled and Atrocitus set off to Oa on the Interceptor.

After Hal Jordan quickly came up with a plan, Kilowog decided to stay at the Maelstrom and hold off the Red Lantern armada as long as he could. When all seemed lost, Kilowog found his ring supercharged and met Saint Walker. Together, along with Mogo, the three Lanterns neutralized the entired armada, including Shard. Kilowog returned to Oa and began training raw recruits again. His top student was a Sector Recruit 1014, Ch'p. Though he felt fulfilled, Kilowog decided to go with Jordan to investigate the reappearance of the Manhunters but decided to have some fun at Jordan's expense. He agreed to a wager and watched as Ch'p easily defeated Jordan in combat. While Kilowog stalled a recurit named Larvox guarding the entrance to the Science Branch, Jordan and Ch'p sneaked inside and freed Aya's datacore. Jordan, Kilowog, Aya, and Tomar-Re set course for Biot and watched in horror as Jordan was seemingly killed in battle by the Anti-Monitor.

As the Anti-Monitor threat grew and Aya assumed its place, Kilowog soon resigned himself to the notion Aya had to be shut down one way or another. In the Maltus battle, Kilowog manned the giant gun construct and fired Razer right into the corpse of the Anti-Monitor. He then rejoined Guy Gardner in the battle against the Ayahunters. After the battle's end, Hal Jordan and Kilowog bid farewell to Razer when he revealed he was leaving to search for Aya. Instead of shaking hands, Kilowog hugged Razer.
