Due to the extent of his injuries, Dr. Harrow replaced his skull with a steel alloy skull. When he recovered, Hammerhead had lost any memory of who he was, and adopted the identity of "Hammerhead". He patterned his speech, style, and self after a 1930's movie poster celebrating Al Capone. Since then, he's fought Spider-Man on several occasions all in attempts to become New York's #1 crimelord.
