When they first encounter the OAM he is not under Mike's possesion and he
says he lost the arm in a car crash, Mike says that he took it off
(he never uses the word "cut"). Is it possable that Mike used his
super-natural powers to cause the car crash in which the OAM says he lost
his arm when he is not under the control of MIKE. Also when we see the OASM
in the piolet he is walking around in the hospital in a cloke, but there is
no evidence he is selling shews, and you cant see weather his arm is there
of not. SO he could have lost his arm after bot Laura's death and the piolet
(it was not untill later that they actualy found him) or he could have been
under the control of Mike when we saw him and possably impervious to pain.
Actualy Mike feeds on pain so...
