HISTORY

Green Lantern Okonoko of Sector 1110 was a highly decorated member of the Corps. Living on a medieval world, Okonoko had a young apprentice named Deeter, and was training him to be an even better Lantern than he. Whether the Guardians of the Universe had assigned the Green Lantern an apprentice or if this is a local custom is unknown.

As Deeter's master, he had given the boy many jobs to do before Deeter was ready to learn the responsibilities of a Green Lantern. Deeter was charged with cooking and cleaning, listening and learning. Okonoko was not easy to work for, as Deeter found out time and again. Still, the lessons he taught would help mold Deeter into a fine Green Lantern. Deeter had once crept into Okonoko's room late at night and taken the power ring. To teach Deeter a lesson, the old master posed as a beast intent on devouring the young apprentice. -Green Lantern Vol. 2 #162

Years later, Okonoko began sending Deeter on certain missions. During one assignment, Deeter had acted before he understood the situation. Deeter mistakenly allied himself with an evil king who was bent on crushing the local peasants so he could have a castle built. Once again, the old Green Lantern had to come to Deeter's rescue. Okonoko blasted through the castle walls on the back of a dragon. His formidable will pulled the power ring from Grazoum's finger. The Green Lantern warned the King to treat his subjects fairly or else face his wrath. Okonoko had words for Deeter as well. He was disappointed with Deeter's actions, the boy had charged into the situation without thinking.

Years passed and Deeter went on to become a worthy member of the Green Lantern Corps. Lantern Okonoko retired, a job well done.

When the Green Lantern Corps was reborn following Hal Jordan's return and the defeat of Parallax, many former Lanterns once again wore the power ring. Though doubled in strength, the Corps suffered many casualties in the war with the Sinestro Corps. Lantern Okonoko volunteered to track the yellow power rings searching for recruits. It is not known if he has run afoul of Sirket, Sector 1110’s resident Sinestro Corps soldier.
