List of DC Comics characters: A
Arm-Fall-Off-Boy (Floyd Belkin) is a superhero from the 30th century, appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. His first appearance was in ''Secret Origins'' #46 (December 1989). He was created by writer Gerard Jones and artist Curt Swan, who based him on a fan parody character. After the 1994 "Zero Hour" storyline, the character of Arm-Fall-Off-Boy was briefly reintroduced as Splitter.Arm-Fall-Off-Boy has the ability to detach his own limbs, which he can then use as weapons. His background is not explored in his initial appearances; in ''Legionnaires'' #12, Matter-Eater Lad claims he gained his powers through carelessness while holding the anti-gravity metal Element 152, but Matter-Eater Lad may not have been serious. In his introduction, he is an applicant at the first Legion tryout, and the first Legion reject.
Following the ''Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!'' reboot, the character is identified as Floyd Belkin of the planet Lallor. Under the name Splitter, Floyd participates in the Legion's tryouts in ''Legionnaires'' #43 and is one of five finalists, but he is denied Legion membership after he panics and literally falls apart during the last test. Later in the comic, he appears as a member of the Heroes of Lallor. Provided by Wikipedia
