However, after his teacher recommended someone else, Harry killed the teacher’s son by strangling him with a piano wire. Harry reasoned that since the teacher killed Harry’s dream of attending the conservatory, he would then kill his teacher’s dream or as he quoted Euripides, “The sins of the father are visited upon the children.” After serving his sentence and changing his last name to Bollston, he was allowed to stay at the retirement facility to live out the remainder of his life because he was deemed a harmless old man. Taking a stroll with Lana, Harry was trying to sneak a cigarette while Lana left him alone for a minute, but the lighter fell. Trying to pick it up, he fell into the koi pond embedded with kryptonite and was revitalized as his 17 year old self.

After being thrown out of Met. U. for inappropriate student-teacher relations, he came to Smallville to continue his research. He eventually was sought out by Lex Luthor, who, interested in his unnatural white cell count, funded Hamilton's further research. From then on, Hamilton became Lex's personal scientist, from resurrecting the Nicodemus flower to analyzing the Kryptonian key.

Once Lex cut his funding due to his new company LexCorp, Hamilton steals the spaceship from Pete's barn after Pete found in in a field. After realizing that the octagonal key goes into the ship, he talks to Lex to see if he has it, which he doesn't, because it fell out during the storm. He goes back to Pete's barn to search for the key where Pete confronts him. Realizing that Pete knows the owner of the ship, Hamilton kidnaps him and threatens to inject him with a kryptonite serum unless Pete reveals the truth. Clark naturally comes in to help, but is left weakened by the meteor rocks. A scuffle ensues and Hamilton goes into seizures after a few drops of the kryptonite solution drips on his head, killing him due to the pressure on his body.
