Hector Hammond is a FBI legist, and senator Robert Hammond's son. His father's influence is the only thing that keeps him in a regular job, because Hector's arrogant, disgusting, unstable and explosive personality is very dislikeable. When Abin Sur's corpse is found, Hector is enlisted to conduct the autopsy, because Alan Scott, the leader of the secret governmental agency that finds Abin, and a old friend of his, fears that, whatever killed him, is menacing Earth, forcing him to recour to Hector. During the autopsy, Hector finds a piece of Legion's armor in Abin's corpse, and touches it, being infected by the yellow radiation. This radiation starts to mutate his organism, evoluting it. Thanks to that, Hector develops extraordinary mental powers that he use to torture everyone that mistreated him, like the boss that didn't liked him, the assistent that turned him down and etc. Hector eventually sets up a revenge against his father, that saw his as a disappointment, but, when he manages to kill him, he regrets, and decides to blame everyone else. To make things even worse, the yellow energy keeps mutating him, transforming him in to a horrendous creature, with a giant head and a atrophieated body. After reading GL's mind and discovering he bears the ring of the alien that "ruined his life", hector sets revenge against him, ending up in a violent showdown on Ferris Aircraft. Hal offers his ring in exchange for the life of his girlfriend, trapped in a desgovernated jet, and Hector accepts, but, as soons as he puts the ring, he's judged as "unfit" and his mind is overcharged by the green power. After everything is settled down, Hector, now cathatonic, is taken away by Alan's men, never to be seen again.
