The "Headstrong Heads" of other worlds, as they were known, were only brief footnotes in the costumed careers of Hal Jordan and Alan Scott, when they individually faced the Headmen and the Schizoids (and unfortunate name in another era). However, each Green Lantern found these fearsome foes formidable, as they possessed superior technology to that found on the heroes' native worlds.
When old family friends of Hal invited them to their home for a surprise, he learned that Sally and Steve Davis were scheming to play matchmakers with the test pilot and a lady named Dorine Clay. After a lackluster blind date, Jordan tracked Dorine down, and discovered she was an alien agent from the planet Garon-One, where she fleed from the overlords known as the Headmen. These Headmen kept the population in submission using their Cerebro-Ray on each person at birth. However, Onu Murtu... Lorine's real name... was immune to the effect and devised the means of countering this ray with one of her own. However, she needed seclusion from the Headmen, and so traveled to Earth-One. There, she unwittingly found an ally to her cause in Green Lantern.
When Alan and his friend Doiby Dickles are mentally controlled then transported onto a space ship, the pair find themselves on Garon-Two. There they met their kidnapper Karr-Alpha, a two-headed man... as all men are on that world... who sought Green Lantern's using their wave-energy machine to combat their evil alter egos, the Betas!
During his brief stay on Garon-Two, Alan Lantern was able to assist the Alpha's in conquering their corrupt cranium counterparts, as the Beta's were susceptible to loud sounds made by Doiby's screams. The vibrations from this loud pitch caused the Beta's to become comatose. As for the Headmen, unfortunately Hal only was able to chase the invading aliens away from Earth-One. However, years later while on Garon-One, Hal Lantern and the Omega Men were able to overpower the Headmen once and for... styming their plans to join the Citadel Empire.
