Overwatch 2 & 1 (2023) ALL ORIGIN STORIES

[@canovanthecanman]

The clash between kiriko’s origin and rammatra’s is funny because they’re so different right next to each other

[@NotJustAnotherAverageJoe]

I mean, to be fair, they are very similar too. Since both of them vow to protect their people.

[@nezaniatoimya]

[@arsenal4739]

Accidental manslaughter*

[@funkycrawler619]

Part of me wants to suspect that something sketchy happened, but also the idea of her just being THAT strong that no one was ready for her is more fun to believe.

[@adrianpiper192]

Wrong. Genocide means intentionally killing

[@kingofmars9080]

@@funkycrawler619I mean it is probably something sketchy cause in the game there’s a dialogue between Illari and Sombra that heavily implies that Illari is looking for someone and Sombra might have info on who did that

[@TheAlmightyNexus]

Sigma has the best lore out of any character. End of argument. He went from a scientist, to essentially a god. He's supposedly met the Iris, experienced a black hole, can hear the universe, control gravity, and one can only imagine what else. Shame he was exploited by Talon

[@billcipher1756]

a greater shame the lack of lore he gets other than that. would love to see him during a talon operation like we get with the sombra reveal trailor

[@rabbitbannerdestroyerofgri7889]

He pushed the human mind to it's limits

[@runicknight1151]

Especially impressive considering they likely didn't work on the concept for him as ling as other heroes. He was originally meant to be Mauga but then became Sigma when they decided the kit didn't fit Mauga's character

[@joshwinefan23]

his origin story is genuinely scary and i love it

[@powmuckerstion9206]

And we pray to God he doesn’t fully snap

[@dbdsfinest4820]

The Junkrat and Roadhog origin is absolutely hilarious for no reason

[@aceofdevs8887]

6'6 and 7'3 large men commiting crimes and being goofballs is peak comedy. Especially consider one can yank an entire icecream truck into the air while hurling a massive, likely 130 lb hook in the air at mach 5.

[@Grady1285]

I hate how Sigma's origin story is all they ever did with him, lore-wise. He's such an amazing character, but Blizzard seems to want to forget about him.

[@ryanzanimations9298]

hopefully we see more of him in the next wave of missions as they seem to be based around talon or atleast one mission is i cant wait to see what they do with the lore but i learned to not raise my expectations to high as it is blizzard...

[@_--SHATTER--_00]

Someone lore related was meant to be sigma and swapped very fast and that's all

[@pwpqwq7648]

I mean, how would his story continue? Like, we have yet to see him actually take part in a talon mission, or actually interact with talon members other than in-game interactions. He definitely needs a lot more stuff lore wise, but continuing his story? I don't see any way his story could continue, unless you want to see him seek medical help or something. Though it could be interesting to see him realise that Talon is using him, but since we barely have any talon members for now, he should just stay with them

[@WindReiter10]

​@@_--SHATTER--_00it was Mauga, Mauga was supposed to be released in Sigma's place but they didn't have him in a state where he felt right so they released sigma instead.

i see you are very right

[@BellaGem]

Lifewaever, Illaria, Kiriko, Bridgitte, Echo are beautiful stories :) want more nature and elements in this game :)

[@DoeFoot]

Completely agree! I love that theme

[@athenapromachos3027]

I adore Brigitte!

[@rigbyw.6041]

Illari’s story hits extra hard when you keep in mind that she’s only 18 years old.

[@dettolclean8330]

The best ones in my opinion are Illari's, Ramattra's and Sigma's. All three of them tell stories of devastating circumstances that completely shift their lives. Sigma's acting in the Origin Story is the best with Ramattra coming close second, the voice actor for Sigma captures the emotions and confusion that Sigma experiences PERFECTLY. The lore for him as well is just crazy, the fact he was just a curious scientist who turned into a gravity manipulating god. Ramattra has a good voice actor too, the hatred and anger is felt in that video, it's phenomenal, he's probably my favourite character. The pure hatred for humans because of the constant elimination of his race in front of his eyes while being reassured that unity can be accomplished through peace is troubling and unrealistic in his eyes. For Illari the lore was like a stab in the chest, a hopeful girl passionate about her culture, striving to protect her people was the same person who destroyed everything. Unknowingly doing this, Illari would be devastated, doing the opposite of what she wanted to do 100-fold. Now Illari would probably be the only one left of her people since she basically nuked everyone, that power is a consistent reminder of what she did, that alone is a challenging thought. While it wasn't her fault and the intention wasn't there, Illari would never think that she wasn't the cause of the issue. Talking about Illari, I realize how powerful she is. Illari has the ability and power of the sun and can NUKE places. Sigma may control gravity, Tracer may control time but Illari can just destroy EVERYTHING.

[@LordJazz]

Sigma has the power of a black hole, not just gravity. He's literally the most powerful person in Overwatch lore.

[@ok2255-]

Ramon tikaram (Ramattra’s voice actor) literally deserves an Oscar for his voice acting. it’s so damn good

[@soulsurvivor8293]

​@LordJazz Yeah, OP not exactly realising that even a small blackhole could literally eat the Sun (our star), let alone much larger more powerful stars. Illari only nuked the special one's amongst her people, the Children of the Sun, not all of her people. Pretty small scale solar nuke too, barely made much damage in the room they were all in. Totally fried her brethren, whom were all supposed to be able to absorb Solar effects, which is a testament to it's potential potency. But still, a blackhole would eat it like it was a light snack.

[@beastmode_all5280]

I agree with your list, those three are def my favs too

[@mackenziebarefoot1913]

Pretty sure black holes have a gravity so strong that even sunlight can’t escape the event horizon..

[@firenzarfrenzy4985]

Kiriko and Illaria have such nice backstories and they look amazing. Then there's lifeweaver with the most beautifully animated backstory I've ever seen.

Doomfist’s motives make sense but initiating them is what’s wrong with his plans. He has a goal to make humanity stronger but he only seems to think it can be accomplished through conflict, while he has good intentions on strengthening the world, he’s built tunnel vision over his goals due to his past as a fighter.
