  • In Mei's Overwatch bio, it was stated that she was part of the Overwatch Eco-Point that was station in Antarctica, that her friends and fellow scientists died from a freak accident.
    • When the "Rise and Shine" short came out, we see how ALL of this happened.
  • Widowmaker's backstory, she used to be a ballerina, Amélie Guillard, who eventually married to Gerald Lacroix. But that made her a target for Talon, who eventually kidnapped her, submitted her under brutal experiments, and training, thus transforming her into an assassin that managed to kill her own husband.
