| Hector Hammond was a petty criminal laying low in the California hills when he discovered a glowing meteorite that had evolved nearby plants into a form that would not exist for another 100,000 years. This meteorite fragment's other half landed in North America years ago and evolved the local apes into the scientific race that would found Gorilla City. Hector carried the meteorite back to his hideout, and then captured four prominent scientists and exposed them to the meteor. The scientists evolved into future-men who he forced to create fantastic inventions, allowing Hector to take credit for the work and become a celebrity. Eventually Hector exposed himself to the rays of the meteor, evolving himself into a future-man. |
