There is perhaps no other character in gaming who believes in the superhero ideals of freedom and equality more than Winston. For him the team is more than a group of champions – it is a family.

In practical terms he possesses a genius intellect and is a brilliant engineer. If the team needs equipment that Grimsdóttir cannot source Winston will design and build it, and if their gear is not up to scratch he will improve it.

When it comes to fighting, as a genetically engineered gorilla he can comfortably hold his own, possessed as he is of all the speed, strength and sheer toughness that comes with being a gorilla that size. And as a quick thinker under pressure with a strong leadership streak, should the team need to split up, Winston will lead the second element.

But Winston’s most important quality is his courageous, loveable heart. He is the idealist, the true believer, the one willing to sacrifice himself on a moment’s notice to save others. He is the team’s conscience, and if ever the team need to remember why they are fighting the need only look to Winston to be reminded.
