During the time of the Pharaohs the ancient civilization of Korug came to power; "it was endowed the magnificent architecture and advanced culture that was created by the wisdom of the wise men and the learned patriarchs." A boy named Lagaro ("which, translated, means Dynaman, Man of Power!") grew to adulthood and, because of his advanced mental and physical abilities, he "became the pride of the kingdom." Unfortunately, Korug sunk beneath the waves. Dynaman flew away from the sinking Korug and went to Egypt, where he helped "Pharaoh Khufor" defeat the attacks of the "Tribe of Gurban" who lived in the Upper Valley of the Nile. Dynaman can fly, has super strength, photographic memory, and is a good fighter.
