Maximilien Typed '43' and I'm Convinced the Omnic Accountant Is Overwatch 2's Next Hero

So there I was, sipping my lukewarm coffee while watching Stephane Cornicard narrate "The Pocket King" like some ASMR villain origin story, when BAM—my eyes nearly popped out. That slick Omnic accountant Maximilien casually types "43" on his fancy holographic keyboard in the video. Hold up, isn’t Overwatch 2 sitting at exactly 42 heroes right now? Coincidence? Yeah, right. Blizzard’s dangling this shiny lore bait, and we’re all hooked like fish in a Talon-funded aquarium. 😂

Who even IS this tuxedo-wearing Omnic? Let’s break it down. Maximilien’s resume includes:

• 💼 Running Casino Monaco (fancy!)

• 💸 Talon’s money-laundering maestro

• 📚 Starring in comics, voice lines, and that Storm Rising Archives event

But here’s the kicker—he’s a non-combatant! How’s he gonna brawl on the battlefield? Toss ledgers at Reaper? Freeze enemies with audit reports? Fans are spinning wild theories:

1. Minion summoning (remember Bastion’s Mirrorwatch ult? Testing grounds, maybe?)

2. Currency-based attacks—imagine getting smacked by a bag of gold coins 💰

3. Support role buffs like "Tax Shelter" to reduce teammate damage. Hilarious? Absolutely. Plausible? …Maybe?

Timeline tea leaves: If Hero 43 follows Juno and Hazard’s pattern:

So why am I low-key obsessed? Maximilien’s Vault cosmetics dropped mid-Season 14, he’s got a narrated story alongside recent heroes, and now this "43" Easter egg. Blizzard’s either trolling us hard or setting up the juiciest villain glow-up since Moira. But let’s be real—would an Omnic accountant really fight? Or is this just Talon’s way of deducting our sanity points? 🤔

The unanswered bits gnawing at my brain:

• Why release this clue in a 30-minute lore video unless it’s intentional?

• How would his Casino Monaco ties affect map design? New Monaco arena when?

• Will Sombra finally have someone to hack besides ATMs?

Honestly, if Maximilien drops in Season 16, I’m maining him just to shout "Your finances are OVERWATCHED!" during ultimates. But until then… keep your eyes peeled when Season 15 launches. That numpad better not be lying. 🤖
