Professor '''Dynamo''' 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 oponents 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 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 oponents 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.

{{Quotation|'''A FATE'S TALE'''|As a Scientist, Professor Dynamo always had an inquisitive mind. So when [[Astral Gate|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 [[wikipedia:Columbia_University| Columbia College]], Dynamo looks to learn more about his condition while maintaining his class load, after all; he has future minds to inspire.

== Trivia ==

* Dynamo is also referred to as '''prof''' (Professor) in the game files.

* Dynamo in ''[[Neon Prime]]'' was called '''Sumo''', and later known as '''Jeong'''.

* Dynamo is voiced by [[wikipedia:John Patrick Lowrie|John Patrick Lowrie]],<ref>2024-11-29 - [https://x.com/johnpatricklowr/status/1862535570838495730 @johnpatricklowr] on X - ''"Glad to be the voice of Dynamo in the new Valve game Deadlock!"''</ref> who is known for voicework in other popular Valve titles (e.g. Sniper in ''Team Fortress 2,''Pudge in ''Dota 2.)''

** In ''[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]]'', Dynamo seems to be voiced by a different actor, speculated to be [[wikipedia:Fred_Tatasciore|Fred Tatasciore]].

* The name of Dynamo's weapon, ''the Vonnegun,'' is a homage to American author [[wikipedia:Kurt_Vonnegut|Kurt Vonnegut]].

* When casting Quantum Entanglement, a crest of the sun with a planetary body orbiting around it appears as a destination marker. The crest is styled after Renaissance depictions of the sun, as it sports a hatched style and a serene face.

* In a concept artwork and in ''[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]]'', Dynamo has a different design. He has concentric circles around his belly, symbols drawn in his body, wears gloves, and has a different head shape that's attached to his neck instead of floating magnetically.

* One of Dynamo's early concept designs was a paranormal pizza delivery guy called '''Lil' Dynamo'''.<ref>2024-08-10 - [[Yoshi]], Deadlock Discord - ''"Reminds me of a pizza delivery concept we didn't go with" (...) "That was a version of dynamo yeah, he had a diff ability then"''</ref>
