He became a part of the soldier enhancement program right along with Morrison, and the two were close - they decided to join Overwatch together. Gabriel Reyes was born in Los Angeles, and just like Morrison, he joined the military - although Reyes seemed to be in for the long haul, eventually achieving a senior officer position, and then veteran status. Morrison wasn’t without his faults, but then neither was his former friend. Soldier: 76 was just a shadow he left behind, seeking justice for Overwatch’s downfall. Yet it seemed to those that took a closer look at Soldier: 76 that for all intents and purposes, Morrison was in fact dead. Rumors suggested that he may even be trying to hunt down and uncover the truth behind Overwatch’s collapse, to try and clear the organization’s name in the history books. Reckless and dangerous, Soldier: 76 seemed instead to be a man with an agenda - one who was acting in his own interests for reasons unknown. But Soldier: 76 bore little resemblance to Morrison, the golden boy from Indiana who wanted to save the world. The truth was plain to see, for those that knew Morrison - he wasn’t dead at all. After footage of the attacks was analyzed by a forensic expert, it was noted that Soldier: 76 appeared to be the same height and build as Morrison was in his last public appearance. No one was killed, but rumors circulated that Soldier: 76 possessed almost superhuman strength and speed, and a suggested aptitude for military training. Although Helix Security Internation tried to engage and apprehend him at the site of one of the thefts, they were unable to catch him. His efforts were noted by authorities, and an international manhunt soon developed, focused on capturing and neutralizing Soldier: 76.Įasier said than done. This shadowy figure, called Soldier: 76, seemed to be intent on retrieving Overwatch technology.
The farmboy never made it home to Indiana, and Overwatch crumpled without him serving as its guiding hand.įive years after Overwatch was disbanded, reports began to surface of an unidentified male striking out at various financial institutions and former Overwatch facilities. Morrison was supposedly buried at Arlington National Cemetery, but in truth, his body was never recovered from the explosion. In the wake of the destruction, Overwatch was disbanded. This all culminated in a fight at Overwatch’s Swiss headquarters, and an explosion that not only destroyed the facility, but killed both Morrison and Reyes. Morrison’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed, and when the Omnic Crisis was over, he was given leadership of the team, becoming the first official commander of Overwatch.īut Reyes wasn’t happy about being overlooked for the promotion, and tensions began to rise between the once-close friends. Morrison simply brought out out the best in those around him, inspiring them despite their differences and shaping the team as a whole into a cohesive fighting force. Reyes was appointed leader, but it was Morrison who really kept the team together and had the greatest impact. When Overwatch was originally formed in response to the Omnic Crisis, Morrison and one of his friends from the program, Gabriel Reyes, were asked to join the team. What we do know is that the program involved genetic enhancement, giving soldiers superhuman speed, strength, and agility. And before he knew it, he earned a spot in a controversial soldier enhancement program, whose details are still classified to this day. But Morrison caught the eye of his superiors due to his strong work ethic and courage.
When he was old enough, Morrison joined the military - with every intent to return home after a few years in service. John “Jack” Morrison grew up in rural Indiana, a farmer’s son with a heart of gold and a spark of determination that shone brighter than the fields in Indiana could ever hope to contain. It involves a rivalry between two heroes who were recruited to save the world, did so - and promptly let jealousy tear not just their friendship, but the team that saved the world apart from within. As saviors of the world, the Overwatch team enjoyed a golden age of admiration and adoration from the general public…but it wouldn’t last.Īnd although outside queries and suspicions of corruption are often cited as the reasons for Overwatch’s downfall, the truth is a little more personal than that. In fact, much of Overwatch‘s current story has to do with the fallout after the Omnic Crisis was done and over with. The Overwatch team may have solved the world’s biggest conflict to date when they came out victorious from the Omnic Crisis, but that didn’t mean the organization was flawless.
