Once a normal humble man of science, he allowed his nose to lead him to all sorts of curious encounters and learning experiences. From his physics studies to history to all sorts of unusual circumstances happening across the globe, he was there to learn.
Though, one such event lead to a lifechanging event in the most literal sense.
The activation of a mysterious structure in the middle of Central Park dubbed an "Astral Gate" activated during an astral event. A probably dangerous thing to witness...but Dynamo was first on the scene anyway to check it out.
In awe of such a sight, he grew careless as he got too close...and that's when its mystical properties started to change his form. His body started vanishing before his and his colleague's eyes as they arrived. Fingers, toes, limbs, torso... Disappearing from sight until it left only a small dying star in the man's place.
That was all that was left of him.
Now, 50 years later, that same star thrives within a metal shell of his and an engineer's design that allows him to live a relatively normal life as he teaches the next generation of minds the world of physics -- as well as what he knows of the mysterious Astral Gates spread across the globe -- within the comforts of Columba College in the Cursed Apple.
Despite what happened to his body, his spirit and will to learn remained intact. He won't give up on getting his body back.
