Tekik was a mechanical being who was created on the planet Potter-59-3 where he served as a scientific robotic unit. His master at some point gave him emotions and as a result, he grew angry by his robotic life as well as his servitude to his creators. This led to him creating a "fear code" which was a program that he uploaded simultaneously to every robot on his home world. The resultant chaotic aftermath as the robots turned against their masters was something that the world never recovered from due to the casualties faced. This led to Potter-59-3 being abandoned and getting renamed as the "Lost World". At some point, he came to the attention of the Sinestro Corps where he was recruited into the organization and given a Qwardian Power Ring.
