![]() Primarily appearing in comedies, I mostly think of him as Sergeant Terry Jeffords on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, one of the funniest and most diverse sitcoms currently airing. Terry Crews is an American actor born in a city that still doesn’t have access to clean water, and it may surprise you based on the picture on the right but he’s also a former NFL player. This of course disregards the fact that the 22nd hero, Ana, was a surprise reveal and Sombra had a smattering of in-game clues before her ARG commenced.Īnyway, that’s Doomfist. Some have surmised based on his legs that he is an Omnic, but given the number of robotic prosthetics as well as mechanized suits of armour that so many heroes wear it’s just as likely that this doesn’t mean anything.Īt the time of his interview Metzen said that they were not announcing the character’s future release, and they had merely spitballed the character concept a bit.Īll that being said, the playerbase is currently 100% convinced that Doomfist is next in the pipeline, citing what’s already been listed above as evidence. The third silhouette is rough, and most assume that the character is likewise a man of African descent. As can be plainly seen on the banners and elsewhere on the map the first two characters appear to be men of African descent. “Akinjide” translates to “the strong one has returned” and “Adeyemi” means “the crown fits me”, both names being Yoruba, a language spoken in Nigeria. Akinjide Adeyemi, is similarly on the nose. The first Doomfist, Adhabu Ngumi, has a name that literally translates to “Doom Fist” in Swahili. And there’s kind of this sense of generational identity.” Potentially any number of people had been The Flash or any number of people had been a Green Lantern. “…started thinking how fun would it be if the Doomfist character is actually more of a generational hero, like you see in some of the the big superhero universes. Responding to the posters themselves Metzen also reveals that they: In an interview with PC Gamer then-Blizzard game designer Chris Metzen reveals that “when made the cinematic, it was just a gauntlet,” partly in reference to the fact that they’re making up much of Overwatch‘s narrative as they go along. On that particular map, which bears the same name as the location, one team must escort a payload to a museum to win the game.įrom left to right: “The Savior”, Adhabu Ngumi “The Scourge”, Akinjide Adeyemi “The Successor. What the playerbase as a whole would find out when the game launched in May of 2016 is that the gauntlet makes its way to the city Numbani, which is located in a yet unknown yet likely fictional African country. He then returns it to Tracer, who places it back in its case. The elder brother uses it to punch Widowmaker, and after a shockwave that sends them both flying it falls off of his arm, seemingly spent. The item in question is, like the younger one says, “Doomfist’s gauntlet”. Apparently by wearing it the user “could level a skyscraper.” If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, which is ridiculous because it’s only six minutes long and painfully good, the trailer revolves around two kids witnessing a villainous duo try to steal an artifact only to be thwarted by ex-Overwatch agents. That’s roughly nine months before the ill-fated ARG that Blizzard used to hint at and lead up to the release of Sombra, their 23rd hero. That character has also been hinted at as early as the Overwatch cinematic trailer, which came out November 2014. Doomfist, as I mentioned in the last paragraph, is predicted to be the newest hero in the game, bringing the roster up to a full 24. So before I even get into that you should know that Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer FPS by Blizzard Entertainment that has a lot of playable female characters . ![]() Oh, and I’m also going to discussing fan culture so if you want to stick around for that as well that’d be cool. So here I am on a Saturday morning, sitting in front of my laptop determined to bring you literally every piece of information I can find about Terry Crews, Overwatch, and the yet-to-be-released hero Doomfist. Because of my search history and their All Seeing Eye Facebook even brought to my attention that thousands of their users were discussing that very subject. “Terry Crews!” whispers one corner excitedly, “wants to play Doomfist!” murmurs another. For some of you at least the first two parts of this title have been flitting back and forth across the internet. This blog isn’t even supposed to be back on until next week but you know what they say: strike while the iron’s hot.
