Biography
Origin
Myrwhydden
The sinister sorcerer came upon another world where he dominated its inhabitants. It was his activity that caused the Guardians of the Universe to dispatch a member of their Green Lantern Corps to investigate the matter. Upon arriving, Green Lantern Abin Sur confronted the powerful mage in an environment where the colour yellow was dominant and due to the impurity in the Central Power Battery it meant that the Ungaran's attacks were ineffective. However, he overcame this weakness by activating the volcano below Myrwhydden thus defeating this army and then quickly used his Power Ring to seal the sorcerer's mouth before he could cast another spell. He then used his ring to shrink the mage to sub-microscopic size whereupon Myrwhydden was trapped within the barren world inside the Power Ring. Abin Sur also ensured that the matter arranged inside that land would not allow Myrwhydden to use his magic thus leaving him powerless in what was deemed an escape-proof prison. Thus, he was trapped and sustained only by the fruit of a tree where he vowed vengeance against the Green Lantern. For years, he remained within his prison until one day he came to notice that his powers were returning. Eventually, he began to cast spells and once he felt he was back at his full strength he decided to enact his revenge as well as attain his freedom. Myrwhydden crafted a magically created duplicate of Abin Sur who was sent outside the Power Ring and made to be near invulnerable to the Green Lantern's powers. This was part of an attack against the wielder in order to be free where he reasoned this would cause the Green Lantern to try to confront him. Myrwhydden came to learn that Abin Sur had died which was the reason his powers had returned and that his successor Hal Jordan had come to battle him. (Green Lantern v2 #26)
Later on, Green Lantern Hal Jordan received a new power ring which replaced his existing one. (Green Lantern v2 #90) Unknown to him, Myrwhydden's world was transferred into it. Eventually, Myrwhydden escaped the ring and regained his full size, but was again defeated by Green Lantern, who turned him over to the Guardians of the Universe for punishment. (Adventure Comics v1 #460) The Guardians sentenced him with an unshakable fatigue, in body and mind, unable to use his magic. Eventually, he regained a little bit of his strength by the continuous waves of power coming from outside Hal's ring. Using the little power he had, he tapped into the computer of Hal's ship and forced him to deplete his ring to its limit, almost killing him in the void of space. When Hal recharged, the sudden surge of power returned Myrwhydden's magic. He then trapped the Green Lantern inside the ring and tried to steal his willpower to escape. Hal threatened to kill himself, eventually drawing the attention of the Guardians. But Myrwhydden didn't count with their intervention, so he let Green Lantern go. (Green Lantern v2 #164)
The Guardians decided to take Myrwhydden out of Hal's ring and imprison him in the Sciencells of Oa. He worked alongside Sinestro to escape, both of them siphoning the Green Lanterns' power from different locations. However, the Green Lantern Corps of Earth managed to defeat both of them and take them for judgment back on Oa. (Green Lantern Corps v1 #221) Again, Myrwhydden saw another chance to escape after Sinestro's execution triggered a cataclysmic event that destroyed the Central Power Battery, freeing every inmate on Oa. In the end, Hal Jordan was able to stop the villains by creating a new prison. Myrwhydden was locked in a soundless cell. (Green Lantern Corps v1 #224)
