Strongarm [Overwatch Concept]

Peter was the first human child born on the Horizon Lunar Colony.  From the beginning, his parents viewed him as a gift, and did all they could to foster his interest in science and mathematics, which Peter showed an incredible aptitude for.  He went on to become one of the leading particle physicists of his day, helping provide major advances in superconductors and fusion energy technology.  All was pretty much well.

That all changed when the genetically-enhanced gorillas attacked.  During the historic uprising that led to the gorillas gaining control of the colony, Peter’s parents were killed.  Peter barely escaped with his life, along with Winston, who was one of the few gorillas opposed to the revolution.  They soon parted ways, but have maintained a parnership over the years.  Winston joined Overwatch, while Peter went on to found an organization with two main causes: Using science to help those in need, and overseeing the activities of research groups around the world. This was the Path of Light, and through it Peter sought to prevent tragedies like the one that led to his parents’ deaths.

Today Peter Armstrong travels the world, quietly bringing lifesaving technology to areas in dire need and educating the all-too-eager scientists of the world’s various corporations on the value of responsible and rigorous science.  Sometimes, however, simple education isn’t enough.  Among some circles, he is a celebrity with power bordering on that of a religious leader.  For others, he is a vigilante to be feared, a crusader bringing the light of accountability to the dark places where “bad science” lurks.
