History: The star pupil of teacher Thomas N. Thomas, Dunbar
was working late with Thomas when a freak accident involving radioactive
chemicals gave both Thomas and Dunbar powerful, albeit short-lived,
abilities. They used their powers to fight crime, as TNT and Dan
the Dyna-Mite, and were inducted into the All-Star Squadron. After
TNT was killed in a bizarre gardening accident, Dyna-Mite continued
to play the hero, first with the Squadron and later with the Young
All-Stars. At the end of the war Dunbar was preparing to go to
college when he was contacted by unnamed men who persuaded her
to continue using her powers to help the US government, but in
a more covert way. Years later, at the invitation of the White
Sorcerer, he was a member of the superhero team the Echoes of
Justice.
Powers/Weapons: Dunbar, by slapping his two hands together,
gains
superstrength and the ability to project blasts of energy, as
well as
convey electricity via his punches. His powers have grown since
he first
gained them, and the duration of his abilities is now much longer
than
it was previously.
