Professor '''Dynamo''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a man of wit, using his brawns and abilities to provide support to his teammates by healing them, teleporting them with him which grants his allies (and himself) a boost to their firing rate, knocking opponents infront of him into the air or, when the time comes, unleashing a Singularity which damages and pulls in enemies.
Professor '''Dynamo''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a man of wit, using his brain and his brawn to provide support to his teammates by '''[[Dynamo#Rejuvenating Aurora|healing them]]''', '''[[Dynamo#Quantum Entanglement|teleporting them]]''', '''[[Dynamo#Kinetic Pulse|knocking his opponents into the air]]''', and when the time is right, unleashing a '''[[Dynamo#Singularity|Singularity]]''' which can drastically shift the tides of battle.


Once just a mere professor for Columbia College, this would change when, letting his excitement get the best of him, he approached a rift in time which reduced his physical body to a small dying star. Although his body may be gone, his spirit and curiosity live on, with the situation only further fueling his desire for knowledge.
Once just a mere professor for Columbia College, his life would change after letting his ego get the best of him when he and his team of professors were studying an Astral Gate in New York. Dynamo ventured too close to the anomaly which obliterated his body and reduced it to that of a dying star. But that didn't stop him, because although his body may be gone, his spirit and curiosity live on, with his condition only further fueling his desire for knowledge and a way out of his metal body.

Dispel Magic triggers heal and other buffs only if it's used during the "getting up" part of knockdown. Activating it during the descent part does nothing and effectively wastes the activation.

Debuff Resist reduces duration of both displacement and T2 debuffs. For displacement specifically it achieves it by reducing the height of the knockup applied by the stomp.

** T3 upgrade restores half a charge of all charged abilities for allies.
** If the ability's target point is on the ground, all heroes will be moved to the exact spot and clump there. If target point is in the air, Dynamo will be moved to the exact spot while other heroes retain their relative positions.
** If the line of sight between the target location and the teammate's new position would be broken after teleporting, Quantum Entanglement will bring the ally to the target location instead. This can be used to teleport allies through walls or roofs.
