HISTORY

   Awakening from his seasonal sleep-period, Burkett, the Green Lantern of Rolvac, attempted to recharge his ring. He was killed by a Wraith-Robot, owned by the Weapon Master. His power battery was stolen.

   The Weapon Master used the Green Lantern's battery to tap into the Main Power Battery on Oa. After this was accomplished, he was able to control members of the Green Lantern Corps, through their power rings.

   The Weapon Master then sold his services to the highest bidder in galactic space-wars. Various Green Lanterns, such as Arkkis Chummuck and Katma Tui were under his influence.

   Superman joined with Ranakar, one of the Guardians of the Universe, to defeat the Weapon Master.
[DC Comics Presents #60]

   Burkett is memorialized in the Crypts of the Green Lantern Corps on Oa.

    'mouse note-

       Although Burkett's sector was listed as 8143-12 in the story, I consider this a mistake, sort of a deluxe typo. It is unlikely to be true, because there are only 3600 sectors.

       Burkett and his sector were named in Green Lantern/Sinestro Corps: Secret Files #1.
