Biography

Akande Ogundimu was the son of a well-regarded Nigerian family and heir to its prosthetic technology company. It was his natural talents such as his intelligence and charisma that allowed him to help expand the family business. He managed to arrange affairs in such a way to allow him to dedicate his free time towards his passion that was competitive martial arts. This saw him training in traditional African fighting styles such as Dambe and Gidigbo alongside wrestling as well as modern combat forms. This allowed him to develop an impressive resume of effective techniques whereby he competed in tournaments around the continent. It was then that the world was engulfed in a global conflict that was the Omnic Crisis where in the aftermath Akande came to lose his right arm. This saw the end of his martial arts career before he could reach his prime. In the time afterwards, the company used its expertise in cybernetic prosthetics to allow him to recover from his injuries. The cybernetics made him stronger but these enhancements also rendered him ineligible for competition. He tried to devote himself to his business with the same zeal that he had for fighting, but he found nothing that could fill the void until he was given a new opportunity by Akinjide Adeyemi, better known to the world as the second Doomfist, the Scourge of Numbani. Adeyemi offered Ogundimu the chance to fight with him as a mercenary. Initially wary, Ogundimu accepted, and discovered that he now had an arena in which he could unleash his enhanced capabilities. Eventually, Adeyemi brought him into the Talon organization. Talon's belief that humanity would be made stronger through conflict resonated with Ogundimu's personal experiences. Moreover, Talon's power struggles presented a new challenge that allowed him to use his talent in the boardroom along with his cunning as a combatant.

After being freed from imprisonment, Doomfist was determined to plunge the world into a new conflict that he believes will make humanity stronger.
