Bill Baggett found a nefarious niche when he discovered the means to control the power ring of Hal Jordan: through use of willpower. He first discovered this when Green Lantern of Earth-One was testing the effect of his remote control over his power ring in an environment that was effected by radiation. When he located the ring which Hal had left in a cave, Baggett used it to begin a new criminal career harnessing its energies for evil Jordan defeated him. On a later occasion, Baggett used his superior will power to grapple the ring from Jordan, but once more Jordan won and his foe was nevermore seen.
Hal Jordan had himself not been the first Green Lantern of his earth, as his predecessor Abin Sur had previously bequeathed his power ring to Sheriff Daniel Young in 1873, as Young used his newfound weaponry to bring some criminals to justice while Sur was healing from injuries. Once Abin was revived, he reclaimed his devices while Young returned to his career as a local lawman. Alan Scott had predecessors who protected Earth-Two before he and Billings ever had access to the lantern, when that device was owned by some Chinese monks whom Green Lantern had met in Camelot centuries earlier during a time travel adventure.
