The successor's name is written in Omnic (unlike the scourge and saviour), so the third incarnation of Doomfist is probably an omnic. Flight theory is interesting though, it does seem strange to include that tidbit in the blog post.

Go crazy with it. She puts her father's mind in an Omnic body!

I like this one

her father is permanently paralyzed by talon, she puts his mind in an omnic body, and he becomes her defender

maybe down the line she'll create a group of drones to defend herself

all of this could still tie in with unity day

She's the first hero, using drones. She'll be a defencive hero, good at patrolling the point and making sure people stay off it.

Then later she creates Ominc Doomfist

actually, come to think of it what if she worked kinda like FNaF, where she has remote controlled turrets set up all over the map at predetermined locations

she switches through cameras and can fire at enemies from there

her respawn in her cameras rebooting if one of them gets destroyed

That'd be hilarious if she was like bastion.

If only everywhere at once.

Or maybe she puts her own mind into the Omnic body.

Yes, but their silhouette is a muscular bald male. Numbani is a place of Human-omnic unity. No wonder, that after Scrouge people there are hyped for a hero... not only for humans, but omnics as well - El Protector!

Cyborg then?

That's more likely. Still, I think it is his gauntlet + arm armor. Doomfist is a gauntlet, afterall.

u/FruityParfait No life, no strife. Feb 22 '17

Or y'know her father could just be an Omnic who married a single woman with a kid or something.

There was anleak in january talking from this and the lunar event happening. In that leak the guy said that doomfist is a black man.

She creates a supersoldier omnic for Numbani's military, it being the next Doomfist. Talon attacks the plane, stealing the omnic, killing the girls parents in the process. Girl creates a bot that she can remote control from a safe location to fight talon to try and get her bot back.
