Cliff Battles was a hero who could split himself in two, and was known as Split-Man.
History
Explorer and pilot Cliff Battles saved the life of an old native man in the jungles of South America, and as an act of gratitude the old man gave him the mystical Golden Belt of Zantac, which enabled Cliff to split himself into two people (though if he remained in this state beyond sundown, he would die). Cliff used his new powers to battle injustice, notably taking down the Mexican bandit El Grando.

Notes
- This version of Split-Man, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022-2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
