User blog:Dio the Ludicolo/An Overwatch Theory

I had a theory about Overwatch, so I decided to share.

What is up with Ganymede?

If you don't know who Ganymede is, he's Bastion's bird, aka the best Overwatch character ever. But what do we really know about Ganymede? What are his origins? Where did he come from? Why is he always with Bastion? Well, I'm here to answer that.

I have a few different theories. The first is that Ganymede is a Stand User, and Bastion is his Stand. The second is that Ganymede is actually the mastermind behind Bastion, and that he controls him.

Here's the evidence towards the first theory. You never see Bastion without Ganymede. He's always with him, protecting him. However, this theory does have a flaw. All characters can see Bastion. And I'm pretty sure that most OW characters aren't also Stand Users. Just Zenyatta.

The second theory has much more substantial evidence. In one of Bastion's Sprays, Ganymede actually lives inside of Bastion's head. http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/overwatch/images/d/de/Bastion_Spray_-_Nest.png/revision/latest?cb=20160524232721 See? This means that Ganymede has access to Bastion's brain, which means that he can make modifications and control him if he wanted. But it doesn't end there. When Bastion becomes a turret, Ganymede sits where you would normally sit if you were controlling a turret. This is clearly evidence that Bastion is being manipulated by Ganymede. Have you ever wondered why Bastion, a killing machine, loves birds? Well, it's because Ganymede has full control of his mind. But why? Why would Ganymede control Bastion to kill everything? The answer is simple. Ganymede wants world domination. See, Ganymede is a Yellow Cardinal. As we can see through the Yellow Lantern Corps, yellow is the color of fear. And what does a walking war machine instil in people? Fear. As many world leaders have taught us, the best way to get obedience is through ruling with fear. Ganymede wants to use his powerful robotic body to get the world in his grasp. Ever wonder why Bastion is such an OP and cheap character? It's because he's controlled by an evil mastermind with the ability to play his enemies into his hands by taking advantage of their deepest fears. Bastion may look act peaceful, but that's just Ganymede biding his time, getting people to trust him. An attack from within is something that truly inspires fear, and can easily take everybody by surprise. When the members of Overwatch begin to trust Bastion, they're actually handing their lives over to Ganymede. Bastion isn't really a friendly robot with a pet bird. He's actually an emotionless killing machine being controlled by a ruthless soon-to-be-dictator. We may never know about Ganymede's history. We may never know whey he does what he does. But we do know that he's in control of the most overpowered character in the game, and that he'll kill anything that dares cross his path.

BUT HEY, THAT'S JUST A THEORY. A GAME THEORY. THANKS FOR READING.

Moral of the story? Don't trust birds with killer robots.
