Making its way through a forest of thick, dark hairs a flea crawled over the back of a bank robber, climbing up to his neck; all the while listening with tiny bug antennas to a conversation that the crook was having with his superior.
"I'm sorry boss, the man was saying, hanging his head low. We managed to rob the gold from the bank vault but then that guy Zooman showed up and turned himself into some kind of big gorilla".
"No excuses *oink* Mr Smith", replied a man with a strange pig like grunting voice "You know that I do not *grunt* tolerate faliure".
Just then however, leaping from off of the neck and onto the floor of the room the flea started to grow, mutating as it did until, standing infront of the two men was not a flea anymore but the shapeshifting superhero known as Zooman.
"Zooman!", said the crooks superior who the superhero now saw was a man with a flat pig like nose dressed in a top hat and tails a long swagger stick in his gloved right hand, "How did you get in here?".
"When your crooks tried to get away, I hitched a ride on one of them in the form of a flea", said Zooman, "But now perhaps you'll tell me who you are?".
"I?", said the villain, "I am Big Pig and I am the last *oink* face you will ever see".
Then the pig like villain raised his swagger stick and pressing a button upon its handle made a trap door beneath the superheros feet open.
Startled, Zooman tumbled backwards into a deep pit at the bottom of which he saw tall, glittering rows of razor sharp spikes.
But then, before Zooman could be impaled upon the deadly spikes, suddenly he transformed himself again; this time into a wide winged golden eagle and then beating his wings , and with a loud eagle shriek, he soared upwards out of the pit circling over the pig nosed villains head.
"Don't just *oink* stand there, Mr Smith", yelled Big Pig to his underling, "Shoot it".
Frantically the man reached into the holster under his check jacket and pulled out a snub nosed revolver, pointing it towards the eagle.

Frantically the man reached into the holster under his check jacket and pulled out a snub nosed revolver, pointing it towards the eagle.
But then, before the man could pull the trigger, to his astonishment, he saw the eagle turn itself into a large grey elephant that, with a crash, came falling down ontop of him, knocking the gun out of his hand and him unconcious.
"Funny animal to choose if you're going to be a supervillain. A pig?", said Zooman transforming back into his costumed human form, "Not the most powerful of animals are they?"
"On the contrary, Zooman", said Big Pig, chuckling, "Pigs have one very impressive power".
And then, as he was saying this, to Zoomans horror, he saw the pig like criminal start to inflate himself, becoming fatter and taller until, his pig grunt sounding more like the rumble of thunder, Big Pig towered over him.
"They can grow very...very big!", he said, looking down at Zooman and grinning evilly.
Then, making the ground shake, the giant pig, upon enormous trotters, lumbered towards the superhero, his laughter deafening as it echoed round the room.
But then, just as Big Pig was leaning forwards and about to grab hold of Zooman in one of his enormous gloved hands, quickly Zooman turned himself into a prickly porcupine and then, rather than being crushed by Big Pig he pierced the enormous supervillains hands with sharp porcupine quills.
With a shriek of pain Big Pig started to shrink again and then, when the pig nosed criminal had returned to his original size, transforming himself into a giant boa constrictor, Zooman swiftly encircled him in his coils, squeezing tightly.
"Help", squealed Big Pig, terrified, "Let me go!".
"Oh no", said Zooman, "Not till I've put this pig in its pen. The State Pen that is".

One very handy superhero.
One very handy superhero. The last line made me chuckle.
On the first line of dialogue a couple of speech marks seem to have got lost.
