A variation on Emergency Transformation, I guess.
Also, the way you describe Bob, it sounds like he's a Henshin Hero.
Is there such a trope for this?
Bob is a superhero (who is human), a Composite Character Expy of Superman, Steven Universe and Venom. In his civilian identity, a criminal sets Bob on fire with gasoline. Bob turns into his superhero identity temporarily, while still on fire, then when he's back to Bob, he's as normal again, when if he wasn't a superhero, he'd have died or got serious burns.
Is there such a trope for using a superhero identity to cure yourself of something that would kill you in human form?
