How Strong Is Winston? Is He a Sleeper Agent?

General Discussion
1

We know he is stronger than Doomfist. We know he has triggers which send him into a rage that further enhances his strength.

We know his brethren killed the humans.

Was Winston and the other specimens supposed to be soldiers? Is that why they are on the moon, so if what happened happens, they would be isolated?

Omnics have jobs such as butlers and waiters, etc. We know their rights was a big issue. Was Winston part of a program to make new workers or slaves that went wrong? Is that why Winston was so caring to him? Did he feel bad for what Winston was supposed to be?

Is this why people are fine with him, he’s a successful experiment, he works for humans. Is this also why Hammond is accepted in Junkertown. People know of the animal servants or workers that failed and Hammond is a rebel pushing against the omnics who did this to him.

We know what happened to Mako and James and why the junkers hate omnics.

Was the crisis due to basic evolution of a species? Humans created artificial intelligence that surpassed their own and naturally wanted to take their place as the apex species.

Maybe this is where the powers the in, how can humans speed up their evolution or create artificial evolutions to keep up or surpass the omnics?

Is this why they went back to biological subjects such as Hammond and Winston who can be taken down by bullets easier than omnics should they revolt in such a way?

Is Overwatch a future in which the humans have gone too far? They now find themselves in conflict and in fear of their own creations because they wanted to make things even easier. Robot waiters, robot butlers, robot chefs. Machines that they never expected to grow, to even transcend their own metal bodies.

They made a fatal error when playing god, they made their creation with the capacity to obtain more power than themselves.

In a way, Talon is right. The humans have made themselves weak.

As a side note, no one in Junkertown knows about Hammond’s true self

Someone knows. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mako knew. Someone is probably covering for him. It would make absolutely no sense if they hated omnics yet let a potential one be a champion in a mech fighting arena. Some kid or something probably covered for him since the person inside can’t be too big. He probably acts like someone’s pet as a front. The queen probably knows. Someone has to know. Junkertown can’t be that stupid.

Stay away from my big gentle gorilla scientist. :gorilla::eyeglasses:

Ready to comply.

He is still a gorilla. Chances of him having a blood family are slim. Overwatch is his family. He must think about that. Tbh, Winston must be really depressed sometimes. What does he have without his friends? Even Torb has a family. Rein can flirt with Ana. Omnics can date and marry humans. Maybe he can be with an Omnic.

Poor Winston.

You mean that he’s a hamster?

Didn’t they trick them into an airlock and eject them onto the moon’s surface? That doesn’t say anything about their physical strength.

They’re genetically enhanced and apes are already incredibly strong. Winston in rage goes beyond that strength.

11

Oh yeah. Just saying they didn’t use their strength to kill the people on the moonbase.

They could have if they wanted to and if any are as smart as Winston and Hammond, there is still a threat. Imagine them all going primal in a city on Earth. They’re stronger than humans and arguably smarter than most. It would not be a good day. Driving your hover car to work and some space apes hop in and fling it, with you inside, like a frisbee.
