may 2, 2070 - Capture of Doomfist

Description:

Acting on Maximilien's intel, Overwatch sends Winston, Tracer, and Genji to Singapore to capture Doomfist, snagging his plans involving the omnic in Cairo. The resulting battle turns part of the city into a warzone.

Winston initially tries to defeat Doomfist using his tesla cannon, but this is ineffective, and he's went hurtling. Genji attacks Doomfist with his shurikens, but the man either deflects them with his gauntlet, or utilizes a powerful shield to keep them at bay. Doomfist slams his gauntlet into the ground, sending pillars of earth upwards, forcing Genji to jump into the air for safety. It's the opening that Doomfist needed, as he jumps up and hits Genji with his gauntlet, sending him skidding along the streets and smashing into a car.

Tracer tries to take on Doomfist next. Her agility and speed can't be matched by the man, but her pulse pistols have little effect against him, either being deflected by his gauntlet, or bouncing off of his shield. Winston gets back to his feet, but only as Tracer is caught off-guard by Doomfist when he suddenly grabs her chronal accelerator in mid-air and crushes it in his hand, causing Tracer to blink rapidly, before vanishing.

Enraged by this, Winston unleashes his primal rage. He charges Doomfist directly, engaging him in close quarters, before managing to defeat Doomfist. Doomfist is taken to a maximum security installation managed by Helix Security International and imprisoned there. Tracer's chronal accelerator is repaired or replaced shortly after the battle. A newspaper article reporting on the battle coins the phrase "primal punch" (even though Winston didn't appear to have actually said that). The catchphrase sticks.
