Added DiffLines:

** Bob is a LightningBruiser


Added DiffLines:

** Bob can either hit hard, or use martial arts, but not both as they are different fighting styles and his powers can't mix between them.


Added DiffLines:

** After Evulz manages to find Bob's KryptoniteFactor, Bob learns he can overcome it after training. Now he retains his powers when weakened, and the discipline that came with it made him even more dangerous.


Added DiffLines:

** Bob takes a few blows to determine the enemy fighting style and ''seems'' to be losing... then he gets up and reveals [[IAmNotLeftHanded he was feigning weakness]].
