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 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

A FATE'S TALE:

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.
