The Overmind is (well, was) the physical manifestation of the Zerg hivemind from StarCraft.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Once upon a time, the Zerg were nothing more than a race of worm-like critters. But they had the most curious ability to absorb the DNA of everything they got their grubby little mandibles on. So when another alien race, the Xel'Naga, got their sights on them, they did the obvious thing and turned them into a planet-razing bio-weapon under the singular will of a biological hivemind - the aptly-named Overmind.
This Overmind ran on two principles: Firstly, it and the Zerg had to become the perfect species by absorbing as much DNA as possible - with or without donor consent. Secondly, it had to obey the Xel'Naga. Up to - and including - their long-term plan of ultimately destroying the Zerg by fusing them with yet another alien species and getting themselves some fancy replacement bodies for the next turn of the wheel.
Needless to say, Objective A conflicted with Objective B. So the Overmind resorted to a little bit of trolling. Highlights of said trolling include abducting a human woman, filming enough tentacle porn with her until she could control the entirety of the Zerg in its place, and then orchestrating its own death so said woman could flip the Xel'Naga the bird. Sensible people might consider him somewhat of a cheeky cunt.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
The Overmind appeared in 8chanmania LXXXIV, where it managed a Hydralisk. Its grand ambition to consume the genetic material of every wrestler in the ring fell short when its minion was cut down by a Protoss Zealot.
