He’s also one of 40 patients who has received a bionic arm from Limbitless Solutions, a local nonprofit started by a group of the University of Central Florida students in 2014.
The company is most known for 3D-printed bionic arms that are expressive and can be themed like superheroes, warriors and everything in between.
Pamboukas’ Spider-Man bionic arm allowed him to join his brother Christo in riding bikes and playing sports. Together, they created the comic book “Bionic Kid.”
“We wrote this really big manifesto,” Pamboukas said. “And then eventually, it turned into this, which is really cool. Because like, we wrote this. It is beautiful.”
The first issue was a hit. Pamboukas and his family even appeared at MegaCon Orlando.
All proceeds from the comic go to Limbitless Solutions in the hopes of providing a bionic arm for another child like Pamboukas.
This month, the authors released a second issue that features the Pamboukas brothers delivering an important message about disability and representation.
