Creation & Design

Forearm was created by Rob Liefeld as part of the Youngblood team, designed to embody the over-the-top style of the early 90s comic book era.

Early Years

Forearm first appeared in Youngblood #1, where he was introduced as a member of the superhero team Youngblood, which was created to operate under government oversight.

Character Development

Over the years, Forearm has evolved from a simple muscle-bound character to a more complex figure, grappling with the responsibilities of being a hero and the impact of his actions on the world around him.

Cultural Reception

Forearm has received mixed reviews, often seen as a representation of the excesses of 90s comic book design but also appreciated for his role in the Youngblood series.
