DYNAMIC MAN
(The Twelve I#1) - On Wednesday April 25th, 1945, the Allies began their final assault on Berlin. During the fight, Dynamic Man easily defeated all the German soldiers he could find, mockingly referring to the retreating troops as "pansies who would probably run faster from him if they didn't wear stiletto heels".
(The Twelve I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Dynamic Man's continued homophobic comments, as well as his repeated and exaggerated ideas on masculinity made the Phantom Reporter and others wonder if Curt Cowan perhaps might be homosexual himself.
(The Twelve I#1) - Dynamic Man and eleven other vigilantes eventually found themselves teaming up to investigate the largely abandoned headquarters of the SS for possible snipers or other opposition. The search led them to an underground lab facility which actually turned out to be a trap. Once they were all inside, the doors closed and a special knockout gas was pumped in. SS officers hurried in to put the heroes in freezing tubes, planning to study and dissect these "supermen" after the war so they could turn the next generation of Nazis into a true master race.
(The Twelve I#1 - BTS) - The SS officers hadn't counted on the Russian army reaching strategic parts of Berlin before the allied forces. The Russians captured and executed the SS officers responsible for keeping Dynamic Man and the other heroes on ice.
(The Twelve I#12 (fb) - BTS) - All the heroes were bombarded by the continuous cybernetic thought waves of the robot Electro who was desperate and alone after the impenetrable bunker cut off his connection to its inventor Philo Zog. Eventually, he'd form a bond with the Dynamic Man's android mind who assured the lost and lonely robot they were now together and that they were perfect. The two electronical minds merged, with Dynamic Man's more advanced brain able to control Electro's actions even from miles away.
(The Twelve I#1 - BTS) - In recent years a German construction crew accidentally unearthed the underground facility where the heroes were being kept. The American authorities were informed and quickly took charge of the situation, bringing everyone back to the United States where they were revived and led to believe it was still the 1940s in an attempt to gently accommodate them to having been asleep for the past 60 years.
(The Twelve I#1) - Phantom Reporter and Captain Wonder eventually saw through the ruse, forcing the military to inform the others of their current predicament as well. Dynamic Man and his compatriots all agreed with the army's offer to help them get adjusted so they could be what they were before: heroes serving their country in its hour of need.
(The Twelve I#2) - Dynamic Man and the others moved to a luxurious mansion outside of New York supplied and funded by the army. They were welcomed by their liaison colonel Dexter who told them they were invited to stay there rent- and expense free for 12 months while they got their bearings in this new world. However, the Dynamic Man immediately offered his services, claiming he was born for the future and wouldn't need time to adjust because he was born adjusted. Dexter told D.M. that he was free to do so, but asked to keep in touch with his people so they could keep the local authorities in the loop. A little while later, he helped movers get the inert robot Electro from the truck to a storage area of the house. That night, he went out to patrol New York City, stopping a woman from getting gunned down in a drive-by shooting, saving a boy trapped in a burning building, preventing a robbery and delivering the criminal to the cops. However, his outdated 1940s ideas on morality caught up with him when he chased and grabbed a purse snatcher, only to find the African American man was actually the husband of the Caucasian wife who'd been robbed. Disgusted, he flew off, claiming to have better things to do with his time.
(The Twelve I#3) - Dynamic Man continued to make a name for himself as New York's latest, greatest superhero. He saved the crew of a small private plane that developed engine trouble over the city, safely setting it down in a nearby park.
