Welcome to Adam P. Knave dot com

Super-heroes are a funny lot. They vary greatly in power, respect and ability. None, however, is more daring, more amazing or more astounding than Arm-Fall-Off Boy.

Who is Arm-Fall-Off Boy, you ask? what secret does this dashing man of mystery hold? I’ll tell you.

Uhhh. None.

Back when the Legion of Super-Heroes was, well, a bit sillier, they had try-outs. The Legion try-outs were known for the absurd. Every other goofy comic book try-out is based, in part, on them. From Mystery Men to uhhh some other thing very much like it, yeah.

Arm-Fall-Off Boy is the pinnacle of this whole process.

Sure Infectious Lass sounds like a candidate. Maybe you think Color Kid is the oddest of the odd (the ability to, uhm, change the color of things isn’t exactly world shaking…) I don’t know. I just know you are wrong. For Arm-Fall-Off Boy is the best of the best. The coolest of the cool.

You see, if you didn’t get it, his arm falls off! Well, all right it doesn’t fall off so much as he tears it off. But he can turn his arm into a club, wielded by his other arm! He can use both arms this way, but I would think not at the same time. Still!

Versatility in limb removal, thy name is Arm-Fall-Off Boy!

With a powerful PLORP! his arm comes off! With a mighty KRAK! it hits the table and demonstrates his unending ability to tear off his arms and hit people with them. Sure, his shoulder looks like an asshole. No, I don’t know why his gloves are elbow high French Ticklers. Those things are not the point!

Arm-Fall-Off Boy, although denied membership into the Legion of Super-Heroes (Legion of Stupid Heroes if they didn’t take Arm-Fall-Off Boy), he still, I am sure, patrols the galaxy keeping everyone safe.

With his purple one piece leotard and pointy hat. Don’t forget his oddly rock shaded legs. Those might be boots. Or leggings?

The battle cry of HA-YAAAA! lets villains everywhere know to die! Die, I say! DIE! HA-YAAAA!

Anyway. Yeah. Arm-Fall-Off Boy. Plorp. Genius.

(I know the caption photo has it spelled villian. So does the comic panel. I was being faithful to what they put in the panel)
