OR:

Dynamic Man is a fictional character, fictional Android (robot), android superhero published by Dynamic Publications, Inc., one of Harry "A" Chesler's imprints. He has numerous similarities to Dynamic Man (Timely Comics), an earlier character of the same name published by Marvel Comics, Timely Comics, including a similar origin story and powers. It is unclear to what extent this character was inspired from the earlier Dynamic Man. He appeared in ''Dynamic Comics'' issues #1-3 and #8-24 (1941–48).


Fictional character biography

Dynamic Man was an android created by the brilliant scientist Dr. Moore to battle the evil magician the Yellow Spot. Moore was killed just as his creation reached completion. Dynamic Man then began his crime fighting career, and soon took the identity of Bert McQuade, a high school football coach recently killed. Bert's younger brother Ricky became his sidekick, Dynamic Boy. His powers, and Dynamic Boy's, included flight and super strength. Their enemies included the Yellow Spot, the Sea Horror and a band of kidnapping Gypsies. In issue #14 (April 1945), Dynamic Man suddenly had a secret identity, school athletic coach Bert McQuade.


Project Superpowers

Dynamic Man appears in the mini-series ''Project Superpowers''. He is shown to be the head of the "Dynamic Family" which consist of him, Dynamic Boy (now also an android), an unnamed female android and an army of androids. They are shown to be a secret power behind the world. Originally, the creative team mistakenly named this incarnation of Dynamic Man "Curt Cowan", the alias of the Timely Comics Dynamic Man. The error was corrected, however, and the character was identified as "Bert McQuade" from issue #2 onwards.
