Powers:

Possession: As a ghost, Ice Box Bob has the power to possess Mr. Schenker (presumably because he was near Bob's corpse for so long) and while possessing him he uses an ice pick and a pair of tongs to kill people.

Invulnerability: Ice Box Bob is immune to injury on Earth, but he can be injured or even destroyed by mystical items or energies within the dimension he was imprisoned in.

Dimensional Travel: Though he was trapped in another dimension, Ice Box Bob can for a short time cross over to various places in the USA, utilizing an unexplained connection to the Nexus of All Realities and physically interact with people, injuring or dragging them to the same realm he was imprisoned in.

Origins:

The man known as Ice Box Bob became a serial killer, killing runaways for years. He was eventually caught, sentenced to death and died in the electric chair after being sentenced to death for murder.

After Bob's death a business man named Schenker legally bought the corpse of Ice Box Bob and displayed it outside his grocery store. His son inherited the store and used to have the corpse out on display on holidays, but he had to stop doing so when people began to complain.

Bob's spirit was imprisoned in another dimension, which he could only leave if somebody else took his place there so Bob could return to Earth and become human again. At some point Mr. Schenker, who owned Bob's corpse, became possessed by Bob's spirit, who then continued his killing spree.
