== Overwatch ==
Overwatch is a task force that was initially formed to protect innocents during the Omnic Crisis, but developed into something far greater as the years went by. Initially founded by Jack Morrison, Gabriel Reyes, Ana Amari, Reinhardt Wilhelm, Torbjorn Lindholm, and Mina Liao, the organization has since expanded into a massive United Nations-sponsored peacekeeping task force dedicated to upholding law and order worldwide.
Or at least, it ''was''. Thanks to a combination of Reyes' poorly thought-out murder of a Talon leader putting the spotlight on Overwatch's shady black ops organization Blackwatch, Reyes himself airing Blackwatch's dirty laundry and exposing records of illegal torture, assassination, and coercion to the public, and Reyes also trying to overthrow Commander Morrison in a devastating battle that destroyed Overwatch's Swiss HQ, the organization was forcibly disbanded with its surviving agents forced to make a living of their own as private peacekeepers or vigilantes. And in the wake of its destruction, the terrorist organization Talon has become more powerful than ever.
But in the words of one Angela "Mercy" Ziegler: Heroes never die. Thanks to Reaper making a botched attempt at trying to obtain the names and locations of Overwatch agents so he could have them murdered, former Overwatch member Winston has bucked protocol and issued a Recall for Overwatch to reunite. And indeed, several agents have answered, showing that another chapter in the organization's history is about to begin...
=== Winston ===
[[File:Winston-Overwatch.png|200px|thumb
Voiced by: [[Crispin Freeman]]
Line 12 ⟶ 16:
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by Winston include:}}
* [[Apes in
* [[Badass Baritone]]: What else would you expect from a talking gorilla voiced by Crispin Freeman?
* [[Badass Beard]]: The facial fur of his Yeti skin is styled to look like an impressively bushy, wild beard.
** [[Badass Mustache]]: Meanwhile, his Safari and Explorer skins give him a scholarly mustache.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Has two major ones: breaking his glasses which are a keepsake from his father figure, as well as calling him a monkey. Being the asshole the he is, Reaper has triggered both on separate occassions.
* [[Big Fun]]: His physique is as portly as one would expect from a gorilla, and he's also something of a self-described party animal along with being a generally nice guy.
* [[The Big Guy]]: Winston is this, one of the reasons why some of his friends, like Lena, calls him this.
* [[Dropped Glasses]]: In some fights, Winston drops his glasses, or rather they get punched off of his face.
** {{spoiler|This triggered his "Primal Rage"}}
* [[Even Heroes Have Heroes]]: The original Dr. Winston was this to Winston. The scientist told him stories about the human race's ingenuity, integrity, and feats of heroism, inspiring him to become a hero himself as an adult.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Winston created Lena's Chronal Accelerator, used one of the Emergency Pod G-42 just to make a makeshift rocket, and what would become Tracer's pulse bombs, just to name a few.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Not only is he an 800 pound gorilla with all the strength that entails, but he's also an incredibly intelligent scientist responsible for saving Tracer when she found herself lost in the timestream.
* [[The Hermit]]: When Overwatch fell, Winston went on to live in the seclusion of the abandoned Watchpoint Gibraltar, where he longs for heroism to return. Thankfully, Reaper breaking in ensures that will.
* [[Hulking Out]]: Two words: "Primal Rage."
**
* [[In-Series Nickname]]:
** Various characters, like Jesse McCree
* [[The Lab Rat]]: During his early days in the Horizon Lunar Colony, Winston assisted the scientists' experiments.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Not an overly powerful example thanks to his Tesla Cannon's low damage output, but his Jump Pack is an incredibly mobility option that lets him launch himself across the map, and he's incredibly dangerous to Tracers, Genjis, and Widowmaker that get caught alone by him.
* [[Lightning Gun]]: His Tesla Cannon.
* [[Limit Break]]: '''Primal Rage''', which turns Winston into a red-skinned berserker with hellish glowing eyes. While it's active, his Jump Pack's cooldown is barely existent, allowing him to constantly leap from place to place in rapid succession while sending his opponents flying with devestating punches, all while having his already impressive health cranked up to ludicrous levels. It's not too practical for killing people with his fists alone, but is best used for launching enemies into bottomless pits or simply keeping them off the point.
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: The student of Dr. Winston continues to studies and puts his skills to good use, there's too many examples, but one of them is designing the Chronal Accelerator to help Tracer stay put in time, when other scientists fail to figure out what's wrong.
* [[Powered Armor]]
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: When Winston was a young gorilla, he was ''adorable.''
* [[Shoo Out the Clowns|Shoo Out the Kids]]: Winston then tells both Brian and Timmy to go for cover during Widowmaker and Reaper's attack on the Numbani Museum.
* [[Super Intelligence]]: He was one of the gorillas that has increased rapid brain development from gene therapy, to the point that Dr. Harold Winston took him under his wing and taught him science and told stories about human ingenuity.
* [[Smart People Wear Glasses|Smart Gorillas Wear Glasses]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]:
* [[Tragic Keepsake]]: The glasses that Winston keeps are from his second father figure, Dr. Harold Winston, who died due to the Horizon Lunar Colony gorilla revolt.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Whenever he's in his "Primal Rage" mode: you can kill him, but good luck killing something with 1000 health that can swat you across the map with a single blow.
* [[You Are Number Six]]: The Big Guy was known as "Specimen 28."
=== Hammond/Wrecking Ball ===
[[File:Hammond-Hamster.png|200px|thumb
Voiced by: [[Dee Bradley Baker]]/[[Jonathan Lipow]]
Hammond was one of the test subjects from the Horizon Lunar Colony, but instead of a gorilla like the others, he's a super-intelligent hamster. After escaping the
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by Hammond/Wrecking Ball include:}}
* [[Ace Pilot]]: He may be an adorable little hamster, but Hammond's skills at mech combat are second to none, and made him a beloved celebrity around Junkertown for it.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Being a hopelessly adorable little ball of fluff doesn't stop him from kicking ass on the battlefield.
* [[Badass Baritone]]: The Wrecking Ball mech has an incredibly deep voice.
* [[Balloon Belly]]: More than a few of his sprays show him looking absolutely spherical after eating tons of food.
* [[Black Bead Eyes]]
* [[Curious as a Monkey]]: A near-literal example due to growing up among hyper-intelligent apes, Hammond was infamous among Horizon staff for his love of escaping confinement so he could explore the colony. His natural curiosity also led to him learning how to be a mechanic, among other things.
* [[Foreign Cuss Word]]: Hammond can curse, but the Wrecking Ball mech refuses to translate hamsterese profanity.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Hammond fixes and builds his own spaceships and weapons.
* [[Grievous Harm With A Body]]: If you use Grappling Claw to build up Wrecking Ball's speed, it can send enemies flying and hurt them in the process. It can also come crashing down on enemies from above, and hurt them this way too.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Underestimate this cute lil' critter at your own peril, lest you get swatted off the map by a Grappling Claw slam. Or get stuck in the middle of a Minefield. Or get lit up with machinegun fire. Needless to say, Hammond is ''very'' deadly.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Hammond is easily the most agile of the Tank heroes: Not only is the Wrecking Ball mech's rolling speed faster than any other tank's walking speed, but his Grappling Claw ability lets him swing across stages like [[Spider-Man]]. This makes him perfect for hit and run tactics by ambushing enemies, causing chaos, and escaping while leaving them disoriented and damaged for the rest of his team to pick off.
* [[Limit Break]]: '''Minefield''', where Hammond scatters a bunch of explosive mines around him. They're a perfect "fuck off" tool that can keep enemies off a point or the payload, since they do a ton of damage to whoever triggers them and force the player to either slowly shoot them down one-by-one, or ignore until they naturally vanish. They're also good tool for instantly killing an unaware low-mobility hero who's been annoying Hammond's team if he triggers Minefield right next to them.
* [[Little Stowaway]]: When Winston escaped the colony during the gorilla uprising, Hammond attached an escape pod of his own to the gorilla's.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: He's a tiny hamster who pilots a (relatively) big mech.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: He's a cute and fluffy hamster.
* [[Secret Identity]]: While Hammond was fighting in the Scrapyard, he went by the name of "Wrecking Ball."
* [[Sphere Factor]]: Some of Hammond's emotes have him using his mech like this.
* [[Sobriquet]]: Wrecking Ball.
* [[Super Intelligence]]:
* [[Walking the Earth]]: Hammond travels the world, and hopes to have all sorts of fun adventures after his stint as a Scrapyard fighter.
* [[You Are Number Six]]: The little hamster dude was known as "Specimen 8."

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by Mei include:}}
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Mei's gun

* [[Badass Adorable]]: She may be adorably shy and nerdy, but she's not a woman to be trifled with. Just ask anyone who's met their end at the hands of her infamous freeze ray/icicle combo.
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Mei's Ice Wall is an important part of her kit, since the enormous wall it erects can block enemy shots, protect your team from certain ultimates, and separate the enemy team if used correctly.
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: She's definitely on the heftier side of things, with her Pajamei skin showing that she has a bit of a tummy. But not only is she still adorable, but her big boobs and big butt give her a lot of sex appeal. Her Honeydew skin in particular really goes out of its way to draw attention to her incredibly thick thighs.
* [[Determinator]]: In the "Rise and Shine" short, Mei is determined to get 9 years worth of climate data back to civilization and what's left of Overwatch or die trying.
* [[Diary]]: Winston advises her to write a journal about her experiences at the Antarctica Eco-Watchpoint and publish it.
* [[Freeze Ray]]: Her '''Endothermic Blaster'''.
* [[Limit Break]]: '''Blizzard''', where she tosses Snowball out and has him freeze everything around him in a very, very wide radius. It's essentially Mei's freeze ray on a far bigger and more deadly scale.
* [[Living Relic]]: Mei woke up nine years later to find that her fellow scientists are gone, same with Overwatch, and she's the only one left alive.
* [[Lone Survivor|Lone Survivors]]: Just her and Snowball.
* [[Mecha-Mooks
* [[Older Than They Look
* [[Prim and Proper Bun]]
* [[Reassigned to Antarctica]]: Mei-Ling Zhou was part of one of Overwatch's eco-Watchpoints, which is located in Antarctica.
* [[Robot Buddy]]/[[Security Blanket]]: '''Snowball''', nuff said.
** According to [[Word of God|the writers]], the hovering robot is more than a robot buddy...Snowy is Zhou's security blanket.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Her mug's design was that of a [[Warcraft|baby murloc]].
* [[Sole Survivor]]: Out of her fellow Eco-Watchpoint scientists that were stranded, Mei's the only one that lived and breathe for another day.
* [[Walking the Earth]]: Mei chose to continue her studies on climate alone and travels around the world to resurrect the eco-network and find out the threats to the earth's ecosystem.

Originally, it gave him and his turret a massive power boost, but after his 2018 rework, he launches several globs of molten steel that turn any floors they land on into hazards. Like with Hammond's minefield, it's a decent weapon but it's best used as a utility to keep the enemy team away from the point/payload.
