John Dynell

John Dynell is a major character in Roentgen's Legion of Lawndale Heroes series.

On his tax returns, John Dynell is listed at the President of Dynell Security Services, a jack-of-all-trades individual security provider headquartered in New York. However, his true occupation is as a "Director of Eastern United States Operations" for a centuries-old organization of superhumans known as "The Elite". As a member of the "The Elite", it must be assumed that Dynell is also a superhuman, but the nature of any superabilities he possesses has not been revealed.

Since the foundation of the Legion, Dynell not only knows that several Lawndale teenagers have gained super powers, but has either tried to kill them, kidnap them or spy on them at various times, all for reasons which also have yet to be revealed.

He is a friend of Angier Sloane, and has known the Sloane family for years, as the Sloanes have been members of "The Elite" since birth. He has also currently formed a business relationship with Jake Morgendorffer, and is considered a "friend of the family" by both Daria and Quinn Morgendorffer.

In addition to other activities, he has attempted to influence the Lawndale mayoral election by supporting the campaign of Andrew Landon as Republican candidate.

The Elite
Dynell is a subordinate to Furmaan Singh in the Elite hierarchy. Dynell hates Singh and it is hinted that the feeling is mutual. Singh dislikes Dynell because Dynell's family does not have superhuman blood and thus Dynell is not "blue-blooded" enough to belong.

Trivia
Daria Morgendorffer has attempted to read John Dynell's mind, but Dynell's mind reveals only trivial thoughts that would not arouse suspicion.
