HISTORY
"While wandering the California hills [Which hills? California is a big place! Northern California? Santa Cruz? Los Angeles?] in an attempt to evade the law, petty criminal Hector Hammond accidentally discovered a fallen meteor that was causing nearby foliage to evolve into a form that would not exist for another 100,000 years [Untrue! It existed immediately!]. After carrying the meteor back to his hideout [How did he avoid exposure?], Hammond kidnapped four prominent scientists [Kidnapping? For a "petty criminal"? That meteor really caused him to up his game.] and exposed them to the meteor, which changed them into future-men whose heightened mental abilities were balanced by their weakened will power. Hammond forced the scientists to become inventors of items he later claimed he invented himself [Total dick move. I bet he was buddies with Multiplex.].

This brought Hammond to the attention of Green Lantern (see Green Lantern II) [What brought him to Green Lantern's attention? The use of high technology weapons or the stolen patents?], who had been searching for the missing scientists. After a lengthy battle, Green Lantern finally defeated Hammond, turned him over to the authorities, and restored the four transformed scientists to normal.

Escaping from prison months later, Hammond subjected himself to the rays of the meteor and changed himself into a future-man with an oversized brain. Determined to become immortal as well as master of the world, Hammond then adjusted the evoloution-meteor and bathed once more in its rays. Though the second exposure did indeed accomplish Hammond's goal, it also had an unexpected side effect, rendering he now immortal Hammond completely immobile.

Many times over the next several years, Hector Hammond pitted his super-futuristic mind against Green Lantern's power ring in an attempt to regain his mobility, but to date all Hammond's efforts in that direction have failed and he remains in a Federal penitentiary, a prisoner of his own body."

POWERS & WEAPONS
"Incapable of any movement, Hector Hammond can be neither an athlete nor a hand-to-hand combatant [That's so disablist of the writers. Hector can be anything he puts his mind to! Ha ha!]. His greatest weapon is his futuristically evolved mind, with which he can gain temporary control over lesser, weaker minds, as well as attain some degree of telekinesis. Hammond can also create amazing futuristic weaponry and has, on occasion, used his mental powers to usurp temporary control of Green Lantern's power ring."
