Bruno has just spotted two cops...History: (Power Man#27 - BTS) - Bruno Murphy was robbing the flat of the old Dr. Klemph. Dr. Klemph strenuously defended a cylinder that contained a special fluid. That fluid was a serum based on the theories of Dr. Klemph about the formula created by Dr. Reinstein, the Super-Soldier Formula; Dr. Klemph hadn't written the formula down, keeping it saved only in his mind. Bruno Murphy killed him, thinking that the cylinder was precious. 

The serum is drunk by Willie Dance alias X the Marvel(Power Man#27) - Bruno Murphy run away from Klemph's flat and hid the cylinder in the Willie Dance's wardrobe in a wrestling-school. Murphy fled, but met two policemen who were checking a stolen car. Murphy extracted his gun and the policemen had to shoot, killing him.

The serum was found by Willie Dance who drank it and became X the Marvel for a while.
