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.

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.

“As a Scientist, Professor Dynamo always had an inquisitive mind. So when a rift in space and time opened up in central park he was first on the scene to investigate – and while he expected such a majestic sight to be life changing, he was thinking more in a metaphorical way as opposed to having his body atomized and reduced to a tiny dying star.
But while his body is gone, his spirit and lust for knowledge lives on. A tenured professor at Columbia College, Dynamo looks to learn more about his condition while maintaining his class load, after all: he has future minds to inspire.
Dynamo's wish and motivation in the ritual is to get his human body back.[3][4][5]
Dynamo lost his body 50 years before the ritual, during the first Maelstrom.[6][7] He has not touched an Astral Gate since his body was transformed.[8]
Dynamo is married to a woman named Marla.[9] They have been married for 31 years.[10] Marla bakes Dynamo key lime pies, even though he can't eat them.[11][12] The first thing Dynamo intends to do once he gets his body back is to "give Marla a hug and not let go for about 3 months."[13] Dynamo and Marla have visited to Paradox Museum.[14]
Dynamo designed his own gun.[15]
Dynamo's connections in science and academia are described as "vast."[16]
Dynamo isn't a gambling person, since he prefers working with people as opposed to lying to them.[17]
In a Winter season voice line, Dynamo says he didn't sleep the night before the Maelstrom because he was "afraid of death".[18]
Lash.[19]
Kelvin are friends. They last saw each other at the Black Château, before Kelvin disappeared.[20] Dynamo is a fan of Kelvin's books.[21]
Wraith not to take advantage of his students who frequent her establishment.[23]
Pocket's godfather. He recognizes Pocket and says he would have helped them if he knew they were alive.[23]
Infernus to help him pick a hat at a haberdashery.[24]
Seven survived his execution,[25] how 
Paradox's time manipulation works,[26] what the Djinn are like,[27] what the contents of 
Abrams Tome could be,[28] what 
Viscous is,[29] and if 
Yamato's sword is a heirloom.[30]
Ivy's sister, Sophia Arroyo, is studying at university under Dynamo.[31] Sophia speaks highly of Dynamo,[32][33] and Dynamo thinks she's a great student.[34] Ivy worries her fighting Dynamo during the ritual would preconceive him against Sophia.[35] Dynamo reaffirms Ivy that Sophia's grades won't be affected by Ivy's actions in the ritual.[36]
Haze tells Dynamo that OSIC agent Marlowe has an offer for Dynamo to join them. Dynamo mistakes Marlowe for his wife, Marla.[37]
McGinnis offers to upgrade Dynamo's body.[38]
Drifter threatens to kill Marla if Dynamo fails the ritual.[39]
Grey Talon respects Dynamo's courage for enduring his body being torn apart and wishes he had the same optimism Dynamo has.[40]
Vindicta wants to speak to Dynamo if they fail the ritual, due to John Hathorne planning to give a speech at Columbia College.[41] 
Dynamo's in-game voice line (high killstreak): "No one will stop me from getting my body back!"
Amber Hand's in-game voice line (Dynamo start): "Your lust for knowledge changed your body. Are you strong enough to do what it takes to change it back?"
Sapphire Flame's in-game voice line (Dynamo start): "Your wife seeks to embrace flesh, not steel. Don't fail her. Don't fail yourself. Complete the ritual."
Warden's backstory - "Most people think the supernatural came into the world 50 years ago. (...) When the portal opened in Central Park, Warden’s parents realized not only was everything they were told was true, they were unprepared."
Dynamo's in-game voice line (lost match) - "It's okay, I've... I've grown used to this body. I can wait another fifty years."
"Have you been to Ixia, Professor?" - "I won't lie: After what happened to my body, I decided to stay clear of Astral Gates. But I hear that South Ixia is beautiful."
Dynamo's in-game voice line (close call) - "For a minute there, I thought Marla was going to be a widow!"
Dynamo's in-game voice line (pre-game ping): "I don't wanna get you all too excited, but Marla gave me one of her famous key lime pies to share after we win."
"What's the first thing you're gonna do when The Lash gets your body back?" - "I believe you mean the Patron. But to answer your question... give Marla a hug and not let go for about 3 months."
"I took Marla to the last pop-up. Truly... wonderful things to behold." - "I think you'll enjoy our next event. I'll make sure you get in." - "I can't wait!"
"Neat gun!" - "Thanks. I designed it myself."
Lady Geist: "Yes, but your connections with science and academia are vast."
"Not a poker guy?" - "I prefer working with people, not lying to them."
Dynamo's in-game voice line - "T'was the night before the Maelstrom, and all through the house, a Columbia professor got no sleep because he was afraid of death."
Dynamo's in-game voice line (killed Kelvin): "It's an awkward time to say this, Kelvin, but I love your book."
Dynamo's in-game voice line (ping see Kelvin): "I see Kevin!"
"I was thinking of buying a hat, and I would love it if you would join me at the haberdashery." - "Professor, you don't gotta waste a favor on that. I got you."
"I'm sure it's a touchy subject, but I simply must know how you stopped your soul from being obliterated!"
"So, how does time manipulation work?"
"I've wanted to speak to a Djinn for quite sometime. I imagine they are a fascinating people."
"I... don't suppose I could... take a look at that Tome, when all this is over?"
"When the ritual is over, I'd love to pick your brain." - "Please don't stab my face." - "Oh, it's an expression. It means "to ask questions"."
"Forgive my ignorance, Yamato... but is that sword a heirloom?"
Ivy's in-game voice line (killed Dynamo) - "I think I just beat up Sophie's professor."
Ivy's in-game voice line (Clutch Dynamo heal): "Sophie was right, you are the best!"
"It's nice to meet you, Professor. Sophia speaks very highly of you."
"She's a great student, but... Lately she's been falling asleep in class. She says she's been pulling long shifts at her job, and it's wearing her out."
Ivy's in-game voice line (killed Dynamo) - "Please don't take that out on Sophie, professor!"
Dynamo's in-game voice line (Killed Ivy): "I assure you, Ivy, your behavior will not impact my grading of Sophia Arroyo."
"How's that body working out for ya? (...) Well, if you ever want an upgrade or something, you may call!"
