Dynamo was a fictional superhero that appeared in comic books published by Fox Feature Syndicate. He originally appeared in Science Comics #1 (February 1940) under the name Electro. He appeared for the first time as Dynamo in Science Comics #2 (March 1940).
Jim Andrews was a young research scientist who was caught between two giant electrodes while conducting an experiment. He finds that the accident has given him the power to control electricity, which he can use to create force fields, shoot bolts of electricity from his hands, or fly through the air. If he uses his powers for too long, he can recharge by holding onto an electrical source. Deciding to call himself Electro, Jim put on a helmet and cape and went on to fight crime. He later changed his name to Dynamo, which he used for the rest of his career.
Dynamo was a regular feature in Fox's Science Comics and Weird Comics, occasionally as the lead feature. His last appearance was in Weird Comics #19 (November 1941).
Dynamo/Electro had the ability to control electricity. He could send electricity out from his hands, create bullet-repelling force fields, and fly. His source of electricity could be depleted by overuse, but he was able to recharge by holding onto a new source of electricity.
