Powers:

Invisibility: thanks to the assassin that tried to kill him, Doctor Cade now has the power of invisibility, at intensity 10. This makes him undetectable by normal vision, though other sensory powers can detect him just fine. Furthermore, Cade has a special power stunt that allows him to make his clothing invisible, as well.

Invulnerability to Fire and Heat Attacks: the freak event that granted Doctor Cade his invisibility has also given him complete immunity to any damage, natural or othewise, caused by fire or extreme heat. He has this power at intensity 10, as does anyone with invulnerability powers, though this intensity is really only for reference.

Limitations:

Limited Power Supply: for some reason, Doctor Cade's invisibility power needs frequent recharging, via his Vibro-Saucer. He can utilize his invisibility for about one hour before needing a 'recharge'. Should he totally drain his power before getting a Vibro-Saucer boost, his ability scores drop to zero until he can get back to that machine.

Equipment:

Vibro-Saucer: Doctor Cade has this vibrational energy emitting device at his disposal, which he can use to recharge his invisibility power as is needed. Without it, his power to become invisible will quickly grow useless...

Disintegration Machine: this immobile device can be used to disintegrate matter, per the power, at intensity 12 (bound by the immobile limitation). Doctor Cade can use this to dispose of waste materials, or as it turns out, people...

Hindrances:

Frenzied: the good Doctor tends to lose it when faced with conflict, and often falls into killing rages. When this rage overcomes him, he is treated as if he has zero (0) intellect and will fight to the death. He must pass a desperate willpower action to come out of this rage, or to stop himself from hurting allies that try and hold him back.

Skills:

Brawling: for a scientist-type, Doctor Cade is rather vicious in a scrap. When he hits a body, he does so intent on hospitalizing his foe. In fact, if he reduces a foe to zero health or cards in unarmed melee combat, he will drop said opponent into a coma.

Chemistry: Doctor Cade is a master chemist, and his mixes have granted him, if inadverdently, his invisibility and invulnerability powers. He can easily develop antidotes for poisons, as well as identify chemicals by smell, taste or touch.

Electronics: for a man in the forties, Doctor Cade demonstrated simply amazing skill in this area, building disintegrators and the like with vacuum tube technology. He can easily design, build, or repair electronic devices.

Calling:

Idealist, later Vengeance: in the beginning of his career, Doctor Cade simply wanted to use his skills to help people, making the world a better place. Now that he's been forever changed at the hands of greedy criminal scumbags, however, he simply wants to get even with evil folks for simply being evil.

Costume:

Doctor Cade, as the Invisible Man, wore a black fidora and a red cape; other than that, his clothes were that which were ordinary for his time.

Personality:

Doctor Cade wanted nothing other than to help the world, by inventing devices and breakthroughs in science that would make people's lives easier. After the incident where he gained his powers, he used them to battle crime, though he seemed to have some disregard for the lives of his enemies...

Story:

Doctor Cade is a brilliant scientist. He's a veritable master of electronic and chemical science with a Vision. He ultimately wanted to make the world a better place, doing so by inventing means to make the lives of people easier and more convenient. Unfortunately, this work was never completed.

You see, a consortium of corporate heads were well aware of Cade's work, and they didn't want him to make any progress, as it would put them out of business. These money grubbers sent a 'sneaking assassin' out to put him out of action for good, and the man almost succeeded.

The assassin broke into Doctor Cade's laboratory, and shoved him into a conveniently open blast furnace, though the Doctor knocked lots of his experimental chemicals onto himself on his way in. Instead of being crisped, the Doctor found that he was now fire proof, and even more, he was invisible!

Using his Vibro-Saucer, he stabilized his invisibility, and he then went after his would-be corporate killers. Smashing his way into their building, he found the assassin that tried to kill him, punched him out, and chucked him out a fortieth-floor window. He then descended upon the assassin's masters.

They eventually found out that Doctor Cade was amongst them, at which point one of the consortium members, Mister Sporvan, pulled out a gun. Doctor Cade struggled with Sporvan for the gun, a fight that caused the weapon to go off and kill Sporvan's partner in crime. At this point, the police conveniently arrived, so Doctor Cade made his exit.

However, Mister Sporvan escaped from the police, and made for Doctor Cade's lab, where he discovers the Doc's notes about his own powers. Duplicating the procedure, Sporvan also became invisible, and used the Doctor's Vibro-Saucer to render him visible when Cade returned to his lab later.

Beating on the power-depleted man mercilessly, Mister Sporvan almost defeated the good Doctor, until he once again made contact with the Vibro-Saucer, restoring his powers and vigor. Doctor Cade then shoved Sporvan into his disintegrator device, pretty much killing him in the process.

The police, having witnessed this chain of events, simply listed Doctor Cade and Mister Sporvan as missing (not wanting to believe that there were invisible people miling about, and that one of them got himself disintegrated). Now free from the constraints of normal society, Doctor Cade decided to become the Invisible Man, super-secret crime fighter!

As the Invisible Man, Doctor Cade went on to have at least two more published adventures. The second involved the Invisible Man breaking up a ring of grave robbers, a ring led by the mysterious Deadpan Louie; Doctor Cade only managed to kill one of the villain's cronies in this mission.

The other one involved the Invisible Man investigating the odd death of an actress, which he determines was a murder perpetrated by the evil Fatty. The Invisible Man beat up and drowned all four of Fatty's minions, and then blew up Fatty's yacht (with Fatty on it). Doctor Cade has gotten quite mean, no?

Using the Invisible Man in other stories:

It is assumed that the Invisible Man has continued his mission against crime, but his further exploits have not yet been detailed. Of course, hardly anybody knows about them, since he's invisible (and he doesn't advertise his presence). However, he could easily appear to help or hinder a group of adventurers that are milling about in the past, should their interests intersect the Doctor's...
