===History=== The city was established by [[Gabrielle Adawe]] as part of her peacemaking efforts after the end of the Omnic Crisis.<ref>[[:File:Gabrielle_Adawe_plaque.png|Plaque honoring Gabrielle in Adawe International Terminal]]</ref> Omnics and humans built Numbani together, and their mutual cooperation is the driving force behind Numbani's success.<ref name="Blizzcon 2015"/> At some point after the Omnic Crisis, it was identified as an area with an active threat.<ref name="Soldier Origins"/> It had to deal with raids by [[Akinjide Adeyemi]], the second [[Doomfist (title)|Doomfist]], who earned the moniker of "Scourge of Numbani." Adeyemi was killed by his protoge, [[Akande Ogundimu]], who took both the Doomfist moniker and gauntlet as his own.<ref name="DoomfistHero">2017-07-06, [https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/heroes/doomfist/ Doomfist - Heroes - Overwatch]. ''Blizzard Entertainment'', accessed on 2017-07-08</ref> When Tekhartha [[Mondatta]] was assasinated by [[Widowmaker]], his death set off a wave of human-omnic violence across the world. Numbani was an exception to this however.<ref name = "HoN"/> ====The Hero of Numbani==== {{Quote|You're ruining everything. Someone's got to stand up to you. I'm not afraid.

''YouTube'', accessed on 2017-07-08</ref> To defend itself against those that would see the omnic-human relationship harmed and to defend against Doomfist, the citizens of Numbani developed the [[OR15]] defense robot. However, they were destroyed by Doomfist who attacked Numbani's airport<ref name = "DevUpdate Orisa"/> on Unity Day.<ref name = "HoN"/> As a result, flights in and out of Numbani were suspended.<ref>2017-02-24, [https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/835157371106156544 Overwatch Tweet], ''@PlayOverwatch'', Accessed on 2017-02-24</ref><ref>2017-02-24, [https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20580087 An Interview with Inventor Efi Oladele], ''PlayOverwatch''.

''Youtube'', uploaded on 2015-11-16.</ref> There had been rumors of an anonymous threat beforehand, but the citizens had expressed outrage when it was suggested that the Unity Day celebrations could be cancelled, and had promised to show up on the streets whether the city allowed it or not.<ref name = "HoN"/> Doomfist sought to spread discord between humans and omnics, and the city's police was powerless to stop him.<ref name = "HeroNumbani">2019-10-03, [http://overwatch.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/nycc-2019-new-overwatch-book-the-hero-of-numbani NYCC 2019: New Overwatch Book – The Hero of Numbani]. ''Blizzplanet'', accessed on 2019-10-19</ref> In his mind, Numbani's existence as the City of Harmony would always be in opposition of Talon's goals of creating a chaotic world.<ref name = "NewNovel"/> To this end, Talon agents hacked into omnics, causing them to malfunction. While no serious harm occurred, it did lead to tensions between humans and omnics within the city, including at least one street brawl that the civic defenders had to break up. Doomfist took his reign of terror a step further when he destroyed the statue of Gabrielle Adawe in Peace Park. Addressing the city's citizens directly, stating that Numbani's ideals of unity had made the city weak. That the power of omnics was growing while humanity's power was waning, and that soon, omnics might have the upper hand. He declared himself to be the city's 'shepherd.' Talon ramped up its game when it attacked the [[Numbani Heritage Museum]]. They were confronted by [[Orisa]]; an omnic built by [[Efi Oladele]] out of an OR15 wreck. She was able to hold her own for a time, but Doomfist was able to incapacitate her without much difficulty. Efi confronted Doomfist himself at this point, who sneered at her accusation of him wanting to destroy Numbani. In his mind, he was saving it, wanting to to inflict a little chaos to bring out the best of the city. Orisa reactivated and forced Doomfist and his lieutenants to retreat. Afterwards, civic defenders arrived on the scene. In a subsequent interview, Efi stressed the need for Unity Day to go ahead. A Unity Day concert went ahead, with performances from [[Tonal Abyss]] and [[Lúcio Correia dos Santos]], with tickets sold out in three hours. The event was disrupted by Doomfist and Talon, but they were fought off by Orisa and Lúcio. With his defeat, things started to calm down in Numbani. The omnics who had been affected by Talon's hacking were cured, with help provided by the [[Adawe Foundation]].<ref name = "HoN"/>
