History[]

Gabriel Reyes was once co-leader of Overwatch alongside Jack Morrison. However, when Jack was placed ahead of him, Gabriel grew bitter toward his team and incited a mutiny in Overwatch. With the disapproval of the public, Overwatch was crumbling and eventually fell once their headquarters was destroyed, with Jack and Gabriel still inside. Although presumed dead, Reyes lived, but with his body degenerating and healing in a strange state of limbo as a result from Moira's experiments. Wearing his new alias Reaper, he joined Talon in order to hunt down whoever was left of Overwatch, but his old friends never died, and they were not happy with what Gabriel had become.

Death Battle Info[]

Reaper is a ghostly assassin that literally hides in the shadows to ambush his prey. His high DPS makes him an excellent killer of Tanks and his ghost powers do allow him to both engage and escape combat. However he is dependent on his ambushes; as Reaper is unable to fight at long ranges due to his shotguns. Reaper is primarily about being aggressive, brutal and merciless.

    • (Original Patch) Reaper can see and eat the souls of the recently deceased; allowing him to heal 50 health per soul consumed.

Flaws[]

  • Extremely ineffective at long ranges as his Hellfire shots spread out significantly.
    • Characters with knockback can push Reaper away to get out of his range.
    • Flying or fast characters can avoid or flee from Reaper easily.
    • Snipers who spot Reaper can easily attack him from a safe distance.
  • Small characters receive less damage from his shotguns as less shot will land on the target.
  • Teleportation takes time and makes Reaper vulnerable.
  • Teleportation makes a ghoulish aura on the targeted location; making it predictable as to where Reaper will teleport to.
  • Superhuman abilities have cooldowns.
  • Dependent on ambushing.
  • Death Blossom slows Reaper's movement speed and makes Reaper very vulnerable, especially from snipers outside of his range.
  • Reaper cannot attack while in Wraith Form.
    • Instory Reaper can attack, but cannot kill targets in Wraith form.
  • Defeated by Winston twice; despite Reaper having an advantage against Tanks.
  • Very loud despite being a shadowy assassin.
  • White mask sticks out from his black scheme, negating the camouflage aspect
  • Driven nearly insane by his superhuman mutations.
    • His cells are constantly dying and regenerating; including his brain cells and pain receptors. This means Reaper's mentality is in flux and he constantly feels pain.
      • Reaper hired Moira specifically in order to combat his cellular decay.
  • Jealous of Soldier 76.
  • Does not bother to reload shotguns, and wastes a ton of perfectly good guns
  • Soul Globes are irrelevant during 1 on 1 duels unless the battlefield is already littered with corpses.
