There is only one known account of the Green Lantern Corps member named Bruks, who died on an unnamed desert world pursuing a group of bandits. As Bruks flew overhead, the trio of thieves ran through the dunes to escape him. Although Bruks appeared to be closing in on his targets, he was undone when a bandit wheeled around and blasted him with a yellow energy beam. Bruks caught the blast directly in the chest, knocking him from the sky to the dunes below. The bandits fled, leaving Bruks to die alone in the yellow sand.
