Charlie Vicker was an actor who portrayed Green Lantern in a TV show on Earth. When Vicker's stand in, his brother, was killed by the Qwardians who believed him to be Hal Jordan, Vicker demanded to be brought along to avenge his brother.

Vicker would eventually acquit himself well enough that the Guardians granted him his own power ring. He was assigned to Sector 3319 where the strange alien inhabitants made Vicker uncomfortable and alone.

Just when he considered resigning from the Corps, Vicker saved an alien child from death. The child's mother was extremely grateful to Vicker making him realize that their physical differences hid how similar the aliens were to mankind.

Vicker would later use his skills as an actor to teach the natives of his sector the great plays of earth. When an invasion force threatened his sector following the first destruction of the central power battery, the now depowered Vicker raised and trained a resistance Corps that eventually repelled the invaders and ensured his adopted peoples freedom.

Vicker later joined John Stewart's Darkstars. He was killed during the battle with Grayden, the son of Darkseid.
