Von Lougg

Von Lougg was a bizarre anti-American agent who could separate his head and other limbs at the joint, and then put them back together. He claimed there was no way to kill him, and indeed, he could survive point blank gunfire and survive for long periods without breathing. In their battle, The Shark noted membranes that closed over the separation points on his body, to hold in the blood, but could not solve the mystery of his invulnerability. He sent the mobster to jail in pieces. Von Lougg soon escaped. He was now called the Portable-Man. After another showdown with The Shark and Father Neptune, he was separated, and each body part was locked away separately.
