The DC Comics universe is no stranger to bizarre and outlandish characters . From curiously - theme rogues like The Condiment King or mind - bending heroes like Matter Eater Lad or Bouncing Boy , saying strip breed outlandish , even ridiculous characters would be an understatement ofGalactus - sized ratio . But one of DC ’s most outlandish fighter ever created has render . And he ’s brought society .
First appearing in 1989 inSecret Origins Vol 2 # 46,Arm - evenfall - Off Boy ’s powers are moderately self explanatory . He can remove his appendages and use them as melee weapon against his foes . He ’d hoped to apply these " power " to prove his worth to The Legion of Super - Heroes and conjoin the squad . Considering the Legion frequently would clash with potentially universe end threats , they watch little usance for a mankind who could simply remove his arm and get around it like a lodge . Unimpressed , the Legion decline his petition to bring together .

It seems most of weapon - dusk - Off Boy ’s ( real name Floyd Belkin ) family partake in likewise uninspired soubriquet and strange abilities . We see his parents , Legs - Fall - Apart - In Segments Dad and Head Fall Off Mom ; Belkin ’s sister , Fingers Fall Off Gal ; and his grandmother , Butt - Fall - Off Geema Deb - Deb . We also meet Belkin ’s Step - Grandfather Glen , who does n’t seem to have any superpowers of his own , as well as the family dog , Elmer .
The beginning of Arm - spill - Off Boy ’s " powers " have been touch to in the comic , with Matter Eater Lad claiming he got them through exposure to a life-threatening anti - gravity component , though this was never canonically confirmed . The original translation of the Arm - gloaming - Off Boy was wipe from DC persistence in theCrisis on Infinite EarthsandZero Hoursagas , so it will be interesting to see how this mod incarnation will dally into the universe at large , assuming the graphic symbol sticks around and this was n’t just a brash wink and nod to die hard rooter who would acknowledge the obscure character .
Will we be seeing more of his syndicate ? It could probably be pretty interesting to see how Legs - Fall - Apart - In Segments Dad and Head Fall Off Mom fare in a face off with the likes of Darkseid . And it makes you marvel , if Arm - Fall - Off Boy was too underwhelming to The Legion of Super - Heroes , how would they have respond to Butt - Fall - Off Geema Deb - Deb ?
