Character(s): Dynamic Man
Publication: Dynamic Comics No. 15
Publication Date: July 1945
Publisher: Dynamic Publications, Inc.
The character of Dynamic Man has a weird and
varied history.
Dynamic Man started his crimefighting career
as an artifical super man created by a scientist named Dr. Moore who was killed just as his creation
was reaching completion.
After several adventures, Dynamic Man
adopted the identity of Bert McQuade, a junior high school coach. Bert had a brother named Ricky
who assisted Dynamic Man as Dynamic Boy. To quote from Bill Black's Directory, "It is never
explained how an artificial man could have a brother."
Dynamic Man displayed a number of superhuman
powers. These include flight and superhuman strength. Dynamic Boy had similar powers.
Just a quick note -- Page 7 is the end of the
story, it just lacks the typical "see you next issue" blurb.
Dynamic Man appeared in Dynamic Comics 1-3 and 8-24.
