Dynamo
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.

“Locks down the enemy teamDynamo 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.
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 edit
“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.

Lore edit

Trivia edit
- 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 John Patrick Lowrie,[8] 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 Fred Tatasciore.
- 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.[9]
