=== Personality ===

The name of Dynamo's weapon, '''the Vonnegun''''','' is an homage to American author [[wikipedia:Kurt_Vonnegut|Kurt Vonnegut]]. Ironically, Vonnegut was famously a pacifist and claimed that a virtuous scientist was one who refused to develop weapons.<ref>[https://www.mentalfloss.com/history/military/kurt-vonnegut-and-day-scientists-went-strike Kurt Vonnegut and the Day Scientists Went on Strike] on Mental Floss</ref>
