He constructs turrets which can be upgraded, and also provides armor upgrades for his teammates. Torbjörn Lindholm believes that technology should serve a better vision for humanity, putting him at odds with his employers, who wanted to control the weapons with artificial intelligence. His deep-seated fear of sentient machines, dismissed at first as paranoia, became reality during the Omnic Crisis, during which he was recruited by Overwatch. His engineering knowledge proved invaluable to achieving Overwatch's aim of ending the Omnic Crisis.

Mercy: a Swiss field medic and first responder. She wears a winged Valkyrie suit, which allows her to rush towards targeted teammates through the air, as well as slow her own descent while falling. She wields a Caduceus staff that alternately heals her teammates or boosts their damage output, and also carries a medium-range Caduceus blaster as a sidearm. Angela Ziegler was head of surgery at a Swiss hospital when she developed specialized nanotechnology to heal injuries. Her work earned her the attention of Overwatch, who recruited her as their chief medical researcher; the Valkyrie suit she wears was her own design.

McCree: an American bounty hunter and vigilante with a Wild West motif. His character carries his Peacekeeper six-shooter, with its primary fire that can shoot single shots with high accuracy at moderate range, and its alternate fire allowing him to "Fan the Hammer" to quickly unload the entire cylinder at close range in rapid fire with some loss of accuracy.

He and his fellows were captured in an Overwatch sting operation, and he was given a choice: prison, or serving in Overwatch. He chose the latter, believing he could make amends for his past crimes, and revelling in the lack of bureaucratic oversight.

Winston: a genetically engineered gorilla, scientist and adventurer tank character. He wields a short-range Tesla cannon that requires no aiming, and wears armor that incorporates a jet pack, allowing him to make leaps across great distances and damage foes on landing. He can also project a temporary spherical barrier to protect himself and teammates from enemy fire. Winston's ultimate ability is Primal Rage, in which he briefly gives in to "the beast within" to get massively increased health and powerful melee attacks with knockback. Winston was among a group of genetically enhanced gorillas living at the Horizon Lunar Colony, a research base on the Moon, intended to test the effects of prolonged habitation in space. He took his name from his mentor and caretaker, Dr. Harold Winston, the colony's chief scientist, from whom he also gained his signature eyeglasses. When the other gorillas rose up, killed the human scientists, and took over the colony, Winston escaped to Earth in a rocket he built himself. He later joined up with Overwatch, offering his scientific expertise to the team (such as building Tracer's chronal accelerator).

Genji: a cyborg ninja offense character whose agile, melee-oriented playstyle is difficult to learn, yet popular among new players who like his ninja design. Genji transforms from a slacker to a superhero. His family—the Japanese Shimada crime family—ordered his eldest brother and fellow Overwatch character Hanzo to kill Genji for his selfish and hedonistic behavior, but before he could die, Overwatch healer Mercy restored Genji as a cyborg.

Born in London following the events of the Omnic Crisis, Lena Oxton became the youngest test pilot in Overwatch's experimental flight program, and was tapped to test the "Slipstream", a fighter jet that used teleportation technology. During the test flight, a malfunction caused the craft to vanish and Tracer along with it. She was presumed dead. However, she reappeared months later, though suffering from a condition preventing her from maintaining a physical form and which caused her to vanish for hours or even days at a time. It was discovered that the accident desynchronized her molecules from time itself, a condition eventually called "chronal disassociation." The enhanced gorilla scientist Winston invented the chronal accelerator to re-synchronize her with the normal flow of time.

Pharah: an Egyptian security officer. She wears the Raptora Mark VI, a jetpack-equipped combat suit, and wields a rocket launcher. She has a Wedjat (Eye of Horus) tattoo around her right eye. Fareeha Amari is the younger sister of Ana Amari, one of the founding members of Overwatch. She served as an officer in the Egyptian Army and aspired to follow in her sister's footsteps.

Her mecha is equipped with rocket boosters for short bursts of flight, as well as a defense matrix that allows it to shoot enemy projectiles out of the air. The South Korean army developed automated battle mechs to protect its cities against a massive omnic that rose from the East China Sea. As the omnic learned from its battles with the South Korean military, it disrupted the mechs' drone-control abilities, forcing the army to turn to human pilots. They elected to recruit professional gamers, who they believed possessed the necessary skills to pilot their mechs. Hana Song was the reigning StarCraft II world champion at the time, with a reputation for playing to win at all costs and showing no mercy to her opponents. She has since become a global icon, streaming footage of her combat missions. Her work earned her the attention of Overwatch, who recruited her.

He turned to music to lift up the spirits of his disheartened people, performing on street corners and at block parties. When the Vishkar Corporation, a multinational conglomerate, moved in to redevelop Rio, they began to crack down on its citizens with curfews and began to exploit them as cheap labor. Lúcio rose up and stole a Vishkar sonic weapon and used it against them, rallying the people to rise up and drive Vishkar out of their neighborhoods. His leadership made him a global celebrity, and he began to perform in filled arenas worldwide. Later, He join Overwatch.

She became a bodybuilder and weightlifter, expected to break a number of records in the world championships, but the dormant omnium in Siberia awakened on the eve of the tournament, and she withdrew from the competition to join the local defense forces. Her work earned her the attention of Overwatch, who recruited her.

Inferno: a mutant who has the psionic ability to manipulate flame by shaping it as he desires, increasing or decreasing its heat, intensity, and size. He cannot actually create fire himself, however, and consequently wears a specially insulated costume with a built-in flamethrower that can throw a stream of flame a maximum distance of 25 feet (7.6 m). He can psionically manipulate the flame to do whatever he desires, and sometimes induces it to take semi-solid form as an animate flame being (these creations, though capable of movement and of grasping or carrying solid objects, are not alive and do not think or act on their own).

Bullseye: trained in tactics, martial arts, and hand-to-hand combat. Bullseye excels in the use of ranged weapons, especially the bow and arrow, and carries a quiver containing a number of customized "trick arrows".

Mei: a Chinese climatologist and adventurer. She wields an Endothermic Blaster that can either freeze enemies in place with a short-range beam or shoot a long-range icicle projectile. She has the ability to encase herself in a solid ice block to shield herself from damage and heal injuries, as well as the ability to erect walls of solid ice with many versatile uses, primarily for blocking the enemies. employed by Overwatch to find the cause for the planet's changing climate, which had been variously blamed on the industry, the increasing omnic population, and increased consumption of natural resources. While deployed at an Overwatch base in Antarctica, Mei and the other scientists there were trapped by a polar storm that damaged the facility. Lacking sufficient resources to wait for a rescue, Mei and the others entered cryostasis. Mei was the only survivor when she was found close to a decade later.
