History[]
Raised on the Horizon Lunar Colony among other genetically modified gorillas, a baby gorilla developed a deep bond with one of the scientists, Dr. Harold Winston. However, many years later, the modified apes escaped captivity and took over the base by killing all the scientists. Now an adult and with a genius-level intellect, the ape took on his mentor's name, Winston, and horrified by what had happened, Winston built a rocket to escape to Earth. On Earth, he would be accepted into the global peacekeeping organization known as Overwatch, and with his gifted mind, he became a prodigy in technology and science, which helped him save fellow agent Tracer from chronal disassociation. With Overwatch decommissioned, Winston has been testing new tech and thinking of his Overwatch days at Watchpoint: Gibraltar, but now, with the Second Omnic Crisis, he is now ready to bring his family together again to fight evil once more.
Death Battle Info[]
Winston is considered one of the weakest yet most mobile of the tanks. He is designed to chase down Flankers or to dive into the backlines to strike the Support and Snipers: using his barriers, leaps, and high HP to outlast them. Since his range is low; Winston uses these abilities to get into his range while avoiding enemy attacks. Winston's low DPS however makes his kills relatively slow; meaning he struggles to survive against high DPS characters who can counter his attack. Other Tanks can also survive his low DPS; although most Tanks cannot block the Tesla Cannon, they can endure long enough to counter-attack.
Appearance[]
If seen au naturel, Winston would appear just like any adult male gorilla. However, he does not make it a habit to walk around naked, so it is unlikely that he will ever be seen this way. It seems that whenever Winston is up and around, he is wearing his white and black armor, which keeps him ready for action at a moment’s notice.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Brachiation - Winston is able to swing and climb like a typical gorilla.
- Superior strength - He is must stronger than a typical human.
- Bullet resistance - Due to his mutant biology, Winston’s skin is bullet resistant, though not bulletproof.
- Primal Rage - Entering Primal Rage significantly boosts his health (even if Winston was previously injured) and his strength, making him a very dangerous opponent. However, when he is raging, he loses something of this intelligence, limiting his attacks to hand-to-hand.
Weapons and Equipment[]
- Spacesuit - Winston began wearing this suit during his formative years on Luna, and he continues to wear it to this day. It is bullet resistance, adding to his health pool.
- Jump Pack – The suit is fitted with a jump back that allows him to leap long distances and body slam opponents.
- Tesla Cannon - The Tesla Cannon has a very short range, but because it can automatically lock onto its target, it can deal consistent damage against lightweight and agile enemies. Also, its energy attack can arc to multiple targets, making it particularly effective for Winston when he is facing more than one opponent. There are few ways to block or avoid its beam if Winston is in range.
- Barrier Projector - This device creates a spherical energy field that blocks outside projectiles while still allowing people to walk through it. It also allows Winston and his teammates to fire through it from the inside.
- Faulty Barrier Projector - Winston was working on this device when he was attacked by Reaper in the animated short, Recall. When activated, it would generate a short-lived barrier, followed by an error message, and then the device would produce a stunning blast of energy, not unlike a stun grenade. Winston used it successfully against Reaper but is not known to normally carry this device.
Feats and Strengths[]
- One of the current defacto leaders of Overwatch
- Defeated Doomfist (who defeated a squad of OR15s by himself and can destroy skyscrapers with his punches.)
- Defeated Reaper twice; even when Reaper had a squad of soldiers assisting him.
- Invented several of his own gadgets and Tracer's Chronal Accelerator.
- Taken a punch from Doomfist (who said he could level a skyscraper.)
- Resisted explosive shots from Reaper.
Weaknesses and Failures[]
- Is relatively large; making him an easy target
- Low DPS puts him at a disadvantage against other Tanks
- Telsa Cannon isn't suited for Long Range combat
- Barrier cannot block all projectiles and can't stop enemies from walking through the barrier. [1]
- Claims to have a 'devastating addiction to peanut butter'.
- Even outside of Primal Rage, Winston has quite a temper.
- Needs to wear his glasses, which he treasures personally.
Trivia[]
- D. Va mistook him for Donkey Kong.
- Primal Rage Winston has the most HP of any character in the game at 1000.
- Lucio's Sound Barrier (500), Brigitte's Rally (150) and Repair Pack (75), Symmetra's Shield Generator (75), and Torbjorn's Armor Pack (75) can make Primal Rage Winston have 1875 HP.
