Sure thing. Here goes nothing.

Okay, so there’s this Overwatch 2 fan who, for some reason—maybe boredom or just sheer creative energy—decided to make a Doomfist skin inspired by My Hero Academia. You know those first crossover skins came out when they did the One-Punch Man thing back in 2023, right? And then, boom, we got more collabs. Apparently, people love these things.
Anyway, fast forward to October 2024, right? And they drop My Hero Academia skins on us, turning Reinhardt into All Might and making Tracer look like Deku. I mean, come on, Tracer as Deku? Wild. They even threw in some villains with Reaper and Kiriko dressing up like Tomura Shigaraki and Himiko Toga. It’s like, why not just throw them all in a blender at this point?
But hold up, we’re talking about some random fan on Reddit, user -Elixo- (what a handle), who thought Doomfist should have been All For One, and honestly, they’re not wrong? Imagine Doomfist rocking a black suit, white shirt combo, and a mask that screams villain. Oh, and don’t forget those tube things around the neck. Instead of his regular arm, they imagined it more monstrous, grabbing the hypertrophy vibe from the anime. His fingers? Yeah, they went all tendril-like, red lines and all. Creepy, right? But in a cool way.
Now the subreddit folks couldn’t get enough of it. They’re all about how Doomfist needs an All Might nemesis look—not that they’d change it if they had a say. They tossed out more ideas, too. Like seriously, Junkrat as Katsuki Bakugo is something I didn’t know I needed to imagine today. Sojourn as Mirko? Guess someone already drew that up somewhere.
To burst bubbles—or not, Blizzard hasn’t rolled out any new My Hero Academia skins yet. But rumors are flying around, as they do, something about future skins from bigshots like Devil May Cry and Elden Ring. Imagine overwriting with fantasies about Elden Ring armor in Overwatch. But yeah, just rumors for now, nothing set in stone.
So there’s that: Collabs get us every time. What’s next? Mario showing up? Who knows in this wild ride of a gaming universe.
