==Summary==
Some speak of a black-robed terrorist known as the Reaper. His identity and motives are a mystery. What is known is that where he appears, death follows.
The Reaper is a highly volatile mercenary, a ruthless and remorseless killer responsible for terrorist attacks worldwide. He has fought in many armed conflicts in the last decades, showing no loyalty to any cause or organization.
Survivors have described a black shadow ghosting unscathed through the most hellish battlefields. The few bodies recovered of those he kills are pale, empty husks drained of life, their cells showing signs of intense degradation. He may be a byproduct of failed genetic alteration, forcing his cells to decay and regenerate at a hyper-accelerated rate simultaneously.
Those attempting to track his movements have begun to see a pattern in his appearance. They believe that Reaper is hunting former Overwatch agents and systematically eliminating them.PlayOverwatch Website
In truth, Reaper is none other than Gabriel Reyes, the first leader of Overwatch and the leader of its Black Ops division; Blackwatch. Originally a police officer, Reyes was one of the chosen few to go through the U.S soldier enhancement program, granting him enhanced strength, speed, adaptability, among other things, and Reyes was the individual who, along with Jack Morrison, was the one who gathered the original Overwatch Strike team who defended against the Omnic Crisis.

Military, and shows effective takedownsRetribution), Stealth Mastery, Limited Adaptation (Due to going through the same Super Soldier program as Soldier: 76, Reyes should have the same ability to adapt to harsh climates), Regeneration (Mid-Low; Reyes should be comparable to Commander Morrison, who would’ve quickly regenerated large wounds on his back if it weren't for the Hellfire Shotguns' anti-regenerative properties.Bastet Short Story), Regeneration Nullification (Due to being laced with the same cell-destroying energy as Moira's biotics, his Shotgun rounds cause severe cellular degradation which nullifies up to Mid-Low regeneration), Smoke Manipulation, Intangibility (Able to disperse into smoke at willOW1 Ability), Flight (In Wraith FormInflitration Animated Short), Danmaku (Via Death Blossom), Teleportation (Via Shadow Step), Self-Healing (Via the Reaping, which heals him for 35% of the damage he deals), Weapon Creation (Able to create a seemingly limitless number of shotgunsOverwatch 1 Reload Animation),

Attack Potency: Building level (Comparable to Genji, Cassidy, and Moira, and fought with them against elite Talon units such as heavy assaults which can no-sell This. Fought in the Omnic Crisis as the leader of the original strike team,Genesis Part 2 and later fought Commander Morrison at his peak. as he fought in the Omnic Crisis he would have had to fight Bastion units and OR-14s on a near daily basis. Portrayed as comparable to Ana, she was in the Egyptian military when the Omnic Crisis broke out and Anubis created the R-7000 Ravagers, which were one of the most hated omnics in the crisis, and as such would've had to fight them himself), likely Large Building level (Junker Queen stated she's fought R-7000 Ravagers, but finds them a bit gimmicky,Overwatch 2 interaction and is comparable to Tracer who has fought Heavy Assaults capable of fighting Winston during the events of Storm RisingStorm Rising), Large Building level with shotguns (Helped destroy a massive group of OR-14s) | Building level, likely Large Building level (Stated to be stronger than before,Code of Violence Traded blows with Soldier: 76 and left him floored with a single punch.Old Soldiers Comic), Large Building level with Hellfire Shotguns (One-shot Soldier: 76 and could harm Winston in both base and Primal Rage on multiple occasions)
Speed: Subsonic movement speed, higher in Wraith Form, Hypersonic+ combat speed and reactions (Fought Commander Morrison and even normal omnics can grab Tracer through her blinks, who is directly comparable to Genji, who can do this), higher attack speed during Death Blossom (Fires at such speeds that his rapid-fire shots appear virtually simultaneous to even the fastest of Overwatch characters) | Subsonic movement speed, higher in Wraith Form, Hypersonic combat speed and reactions, higher attack speed during Death Blossom (Faster than before)
Lifting Strength: Class 1 (Casually lifted and choked out armored Talon Soldiers) | Class 1 (Stronger then Before)
Striking Strength: Building level, likely Large Building level (A participant in the Soldier Enhancement Program, likely harmed Commander Morrison at his peak) | Building level, likely Large Building level (Stronger than before. Harmed Soldier: 76 with his strikes)
Durability: Building level, likely Large Building level (Comparable to his Attack Potency, can take hits from talon soldiers and Heavy Assaults) | Building level, likely Large Building level (Appeared to be unfazed by Soldier: 76’s attacks. Laughed off Ana’s sleep dart, Blocked a shot from Ana’s Biotic Rifle, although this was due to the armour it hit), Regeneration makes him hard to kill
Stamina: Peak Human (fought through all of Rialto while fighting an army of Talon Soldiers including Talon Heavy Assaults and assassins, which could deal large amounts of damage to him, with no signs of tiring) | Superhuman (As before, is in constant agony from his cells degrading and regenerating, and has an incredible pain tolerance for it)
Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Metres with his Shotguns
Standard Equipment: Unnamed shotguns | Hellfire Shotguns, powerful firearms that can punch through even the toughest of armour at close range (Reaper appears to have an endless supply of them, never bothering to reload and simply summoning a new pair whenever he runs out of ammo. However, they suffer from the extreme spread, becoming far less effective at long range and forcing Reaper to get in close. In the original cinematic trailer, Reaper is also seen using pipe bombs and grenades)
Intelligence: Gifted (As the former head of Blackwatch and an agent of Talon, Reaper is a dangerously skilled combatant. A master of assassination, hacking, torture, interrogation, and kidnapping, Reaper terrorizes his foes by appearing out of nowhere and can easily defeat entire rooms full of heavily armed soldiers with ease. He has mastered his powers, able to shift in and out of Wraith Form multiple times in rapid succession.Masquerade Fought through the entirety of Rialto fighting off an entire Army of Talon soldiers, including Snipers which can nearly incapacitate him in a single shot. comparable to Soldier: 76's skill. Fought on the front lines for much of the Omnic Crisis with none of his usual abilities, fighting OR-14s capable of one-shotting him back and Bastion units capable of shredding him on a regular basis He has incapacitated Winston, one of Overwatch's premier agents and most brilliant scientists, on two separate occasions. Reaper regularly spends his time assassinating former Overwatch agents in the name of revenge).
Weaknesses: Cannot attack while in Wraith Form. His Death Blossom attack can be neutralized by stunning him mid-attack | As before, Somewhat cocky and sadistic.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Hellfire Shotguns: A set of high-powered shotguns suited for close combat, these weapons can tear through enemies with ease. Reaper is able to pull a seemingly unlimited amount of these weapons from his shadows.
*The Reaping: True to his epithet, Reaper sucks the souls out of anyone he slays, leaving their corpses lifeless and haggard while replenishing his vitality and stamina.
*Wraith Form: Reaper becomes gaseous mist for a short period, thus becoming intangible and therefore immune to most conventional attacks. However, he cannot attack in this state. After he leaves this state, he pulls a new pair of fully loaded shotguns.
*Shadow Step: Reaper dissolves into mist and teleports to an area in his line of sight, allowing him to reach strategic places and flank his opponents.
*Death Blossom: In a blur of motion, Reaper empties both Hellfire Shotguns at breakneck speed, dealing massive damage to all nearby enemies.
