Bring on the Bad Guys: The Separated Man

 Real name: Jake Trask

First appearance: Brave and the Bold#60 (June-July 1965)

Abilities: Giant, able to separate himself 

Worst act: Identity theft 

Created by: Bob Haney (script) and Bruno Premiani (art)


Now properly known as the Teen Titans and sporting Wonder Girl as a member, the Titans are summoned to Midville. Why? Because giant body parts are messing with the 'teen mayor for a day' program. 

Yup. 

Seems this is like the return of the character, as the giant once menaced the town before. The current teen mayor's father, Professor Brian Holmes, created the Separated Man by accident thus, the team thinks they are dealing with a transformed scientist at least until the professor shows up and they learn that the Separated Man is in fact the professor's old cellmate who decided to steal the professor's formula and turn himself into a giant who can throw bits of himself at people.  

And he gets taken out by the Beatles' I Wanna Hold Your Hand'. 

Comics everybody!
