I still can't take a character named Bob Phantom seriously, but he is legitimately a superhero, and one of the earliest. Here, Bob is buffing himself defensively, probably with Nigh-Invulnerable Skin, and then grappling and punching normally (unless also buffed with Get Tough, maybe).
I'm not sure about this smoke cloud that manifests when Bob appears. Is it magic, as in the spell Poof!? Does he toss a smokebomb as a distraction to help him gain surprise? It's really hard to justify what game mechanic advantage it gives him, since he doesn't seem to be even trying to be sneaky when he shouts "You've gone far enough!" before attacking.
Today, Bob has the Flurry of Blows power prepared. Although, since Flurry of Blows is a second level spell, he could still have Nigh-Invulnerable Skin, and even Get Tough prepared or even activated already.
This is from Jack Cole's
Crime on the Run. I include it here because we get to see what a California auto registration card looks like. Well...I don't know if it looked just like this, but it's probably close enough to authentic for our purposes. Also note the size of it; it is either not drawn to scale, or someone would need to fold that in half before putting it in a pocket.
