Golden Age Origin

Dr. Moore created an artificial man to combat the evil witchcraft of The Yellow Spot. The Spot, who could travel as a bat, was killing off or entrancing the minds of American scientists. He went to the home of Dr. Moore to kill him. While being stabbed, Moore somehow managed to throw the switch giving life to his Dynamic Man. Dynamic Man was able to stop the fiendish plan of the Yellow Spot and release the trapped minds of other scientists. Dynamic Man then eliminated the Yellow Spot, who could only be killed in his bat form.

Later, the character became an actual human working as high school basketball coach named Bert McQuade. Bert McQuade is put through a series of treatments by Dr. Stahl. These result in Bert gaining superpowers. Bert puts on a costume and, with brother Ricky as his sidekick Dynamic Boy, fights crime. Bert can fly, is strong enough to lift a car, and is invulnerable to bullets and acid.
