Green Lantern
Robert Hammond is present at the test of the Ferris Aircraft's new fighter jets. Because of his status as Senator, when he finds out that the government has discovered an alien corpse and need a scientist to examine it he persuades them to let his son, Hector, be that scientis. He doesn't tell Hector so naturally Hector assumes its because his talents have been recognised. Hector was disheartened when his father told him that it was his influence that got Hector the job and using the abilities he had gained from Parallax's DNA, Hector read Robert's mind. Hearing that Robert thought his son was a failure.

At a celebration of Ferris Aircraft's new contract, Robert makes a speech saying how proud of Hal and Carol he is. Driven by jealousy and anger, Hector uses his telekinesis to try and crash the helicopter that Robert was leaving in. Hal Jordan, in the guise of Green Lantern, saves the helicopter and its passengers including Robert.

Since Parallax's DNA had deformed Hector and people had become aware of his abilities, Robert and Amanda Waller decide to examine him and try to cure him. Robert states "I only want what's best for you". Hector breaks free from his restraints and locks Robert in his place, throwing Amanda and taking out the guards. Green Lantern, alerted by his Ring, arrives to stop Hector. Despite the interruption, Hector manages to lift Robert into an elevated room and burns him alive.
