Biography[]
The Crimson Dynamo was in the midst of wreaking havoc in midtown Manhattan, when Iron Man showed up. The Dynamo launched a series of cluster bombs at him, but Iron Man's armor easily withstood the explosion. He then fired a high-yield magnetic pulse at Crimson Dynamo that temporarily stopped his heart. Iron Man then leaned over the fallen villain and uses his repulsors to jump start his heart, which revived him, but he was too weak to cause any further trouble.
The New Avengers arrived on the scene after the fight, and Captain America was not pleased with Iron Man's strategy of killing an opponent, albeit temporarily. Iron Man told him that his methods were efficient. Capt questioned him, saying "Efficient or interesting?" Iron Man ignored Cap's concerns and flew off. [1]
The Crimson Dynamo was hired to assassinate Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, but his actions earned him the attention of the Punisher. Daredevil caught up with Crimson Dynamo and kept him distracted with his acrobatics and striking his armor at key points with his battle staff. The distraction enabled the Punisher the change to arm himself with a rocket launcher. He fired the weapon, which struck Dynamo squarely in the chest, blowing the armor to pieces with him inside of it. [2]
Equipment[]
- Crimson Dynamo armor: The Crimson Dynamo wore a suit of armor that mimicked many of the same attributes and capabilities of armors worn by previous Crimson Dynamos, including armored flight, energy project, enhanced durability, etc. Despite this however, one solid electromagnetic blast to the chest plate is enough to bring it down.
