Doomfist, real name Akande Ogundimu, is a villain and character from the first-person shooter Overwatch. He is the leader of Talon. His title of Doomfist has actually belong to two former doomfists.

Backstory[]

Akande was born into a well-reguarded Nigerian family, and the heir to their prosthetic-technology company. Very charismatic and intelligent, Akande was able to help expand the company greatly. In his free time he studied martial arts, training in traditional African fight styles, such as Dambe and Gidigbo. After the Omnic Crisis, Doomfist lost his right arm. This ended his martial arts career early, before even reaching his prime. While his company was able to give him a prosthetic arm, this made him illelligible for the martial arts competitions. Although he tried to devote as much energy to his company as he did fighting, it just didn't work. This was solved when he was given a second chance by Akinjide Adeyemi, the second doomfist. Adeyemi gave Akande a job as a mercenary, and eventully brought him into Talon.
