Fan Casting Hector Hammond in Return to the DC Universe

Once an astrophysicist who specialized in alternative fuel sources, Hector Hammond had done some work for Ferris Aircraft at the time Hal Jordan began his career as the first human in the Green Lantern Corps. Exposed to the core of Abin Sur's ship, Hector's mind was accelerated by centuries, awakening powerful telepathy and telekinesis, bringing out the worst in his dark heart as well as disfiguring his head. For years, he sought to take memories from all around him, particularly Hal Jordan's. Now, thanks to Harvest for reasons he doesn't get, Hector has an appearance similar to normalcy again... but is still a threat.
