Immortal Man, also known as Klarn Arg, is a superhero in the DC Comics Universe. He first appeared in Strange Adventures #177 (June 1965).[1] Multiple versions of his origin connect him to the villain Vandal Savage, with both gaining immortality by encountering a strange meteorite during prehistoric times. Immortal Man was also a founding member of The Forgotten Heroes. In the 2018 comic book series The Immortal Men, Klarn's title "Immortal Man" is passed on to teenager Caden Park.
Traditionally, the Immortal Man has a unique form of reincarnation. Each time he dies, he soon materializes somewhere else on Earth in a new, fully-clothed body. A jeweled amulet that grants him power and allows him to remember his previous lives follows him, transporting away from the recently deceased body and materializing alongside each new body.[2][3]
