Locks down the enemy team

Dynamo keeps himself and his allies healthy while waiting for his moment. Few things can warp a team fight more than a well-coordinated use of Singularity.

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.

Background

“

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.

— A FATE'S TALE

Lore

Dynamo is married to a woman named Marla. They have been married for 31 years.

Dynamo has not touched an Astral Gate since his body was transformed.

Dynamo designed his own gun.

In a Winter season voice line, Dynamo says he didn't sleep the night before the Maelstrom because he was "afraid of death".

Character interactions

• McGinnis built Dynamo's body.
• Ivy's sister, Sophia Arroyo, is studying at university under Dynamo. Ivy worries her fighting Dynamo during the ritual would preconceive him against Sophia.
• Dynamo is Pocket's godfather. He recognizes Pocket and says he would have helped them if he knew they were alive.
• Haze tells Dynamo that OSIC agent Marlowe has an offer for Dynamo to join them. Dynamo mistakes Marlowe for his wife, Marla.
• Dynamo and Kelvin are friends. They last saw each other at the Black Château, before Kelvin disappeared.
• Dynamo warns Wraith not to take advantage of his students who frequent her establishment.

Trivia

• Dynamo is also referred to as prof (Professor) in the game files.
• Dynamo was named Sumo in Neon Prime, and later renamed to Jeong. He was renamed to Dynamo still during Neon Prime.
• Dynamo is voiced by John Patrick Lowrie, 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 was voiced by Fred Tatasciore, as John wasn't available for recording. These voice lines have since been re-recorded with John.
• The name of Dynamo's weapon, the Vonnegun, is a homage to American author 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.
