Jim was loving his new super powers. Ever since that weird stuff fell from the sky, he has been able to turn into half man-half beast creatures. His first change was to a Lion/Man. He had a lot of fun scaring people with that one.
Jim quickly discovered he could only change into creatures he has touched. And as a Zookeeper, Jim had access to a LOT of animals. He has been a wolfman, Centaur, The Elephant Man, even got to be the Birdman - swooping and diving around the city - snatching up purses and valuables.
But Jim had a new idea. One that would make him unstoppable. He had not been able to touch this animal before, but an opportunity had presented itself. The Rhino needed a vet check-up. Jim made sure he was one of the zoo assistance that got to work with the vet. All it took was one hand on the big fella's side and he could feel the power enter him. He was primed.
That night, he made his way to the bank. From across the street, he reached deep within himself and pulled forth the Animal power laying there, snorting to be set free. His head grew, his snout extending, and a large curved horn sprang up from the tip. His feet became bigger, rounder, his legs more powerful.
Jim felt his skin harden up, became like armor. His hands and arms became ridiculously strong. He looked over at the bank and was surprised at how dim everything was, how blurry. He had forgotten that Rhino's had worse eyesight. Oh well, this wasn't a finesse job.
Jim lowered his head and charged across the street, slamming into the front door, easily crashing through the bullet-proof glass. His momentum carried him straight through the lobby and barreled into the teller counter, smashing it to pieces. There was a reason he chose to do this at night, knowing the carnage that would happen if he tried it during the day.
He focused on the large vault door, stepped way back and ran head-first into the large steel door.

The police and a Cape stood over the body of the dead man in the bank the next morning. They were astounded at the damage that had been done to the bank exterior and interior, but flabbergasted on why the naked man had run head first into a vault door - one that only opens outward. They could see a significant dent in the door, but the blow must have killed him instantly.
