HISTORY
Gpaak was abducted by the Draal, an alien race that was replacing Green Lanterns with sleeper agents. The Draal would clone them after taking the Green Lanterns' rings. A creature called a xanoglyph would be used to probe the Green Lantern's mind, transferring the thoughts and memories to the clone. The clone would then go back to the Green Lantern's sector. When the Draal were ready, they would strike on many worlds at one time. It is possible the Draal kept the real Green Lanterns in case of any unforeseen needs.
A Zoan, Gpaak was unable to communicate with his fellow captives Bivvix, Graf Toren, Guy Gardner, RRU-9-2 and Voz. He did understand enough to help in an escape plan formulated by Gardner. Using the battery cell of the robotic RRU-9-2, Gpaak carried the terminal to the high density neuron force field holding them in their cell. - Guy Gardner #12-14
Gpaak was blasted into globules, but was able to reconstitute himself. Together with Gardner, the Green Lanterns fought against their Draal captors. Soon, they were able to take control of the Draal ship. Guy Gardner's clone had escaped with the fully charged yellow power ring. Following his request, the Green Lanterns left Guy Gardner on Earth to fight his clone. - Guy Gardner #14
The Green Lantern Corps was defunct for many years due to the machinations of the Parallax controlled Hal Jordan. When it was finally restored, Gpaak and Lanterns old and new took part in the massive battle against Superboy-Prime. - Infinite Crisis #7
Gpaak was most recently seen with the majority of the Green Lantern Corps under the thrall of Krona. -Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #8
