[Rich answers that question by waving to Marjara with his robotic prosthetic, twiddling metal fingers hello.]

I lost mine in a fight before I got here. Unfortunately, cloning tech here isn't advanced enough to clone one compatible with my weird physiology, and my powers would short out any cybernetic tech that was directly attached to my body, so Brainy made me a removable robotic prosthetic.

[He sets his omnicom down on the arm of the couch so he can show Marjara how it works. He pulls up his sleeve to reveal two cuffs that hold his prosthetic in place on the stump, right under the shoulder. He presses two buttons, there's a click, and it slides off. He waves the prosthetic around with his flesh and blood hand.]

I take it off before missions and use my powers to make an arm out of energy during fights, but this has way better dexterity than the energy arm I can make. That's barely more than a tentacle.

It has sensors that read the nerve impulses in my shoulder to make it work the same way a real arm would. The only difference is I can't feel anything with it. You can move it like a real arm but there's no sensation.
