==Summary==
At its height, Overwatch possessed one of the most advanced armaments on the planet, which could be traced to the workshop of an ingenious engineer named Torbjörn Lindholm.
Before the Omnic Crisis, Torbjörn had gained notoriety for designing weapons systems used by countries around the world. However, his belief that technology must serve a bette, should be comparable to individuals capapblr vision for humanity put him at odds with his employers, who desired to control his weapons using networked computer intelligence.
Torbjörn had a deep mistrust of sentient robotic intelligence, and while many of his peers wrote this off as paranoia, his worst fears were realized when the robot populations of the world turned against their human creators during the Omnic Crisis. Because of his engineering genius, he was recruited to join the original Overwatch strike team, and his many inventions proved integral to ending the crisis. In the years that followed, Overwatch became an international peacekeeping force, and Torbjörn remained a critical resource for all of its technological needs and signature weapons systems.
But in the aftermath of Overwatch's fall, many of Torbjörn's weapons were stolen or stashed away around the world. Feeling responsible for his creations, Torbjörn is determined to stop them from falling into the wrong hands and wreaking havoc on the innocent.PlayOverwatch Website

Attack Potency: Building level (His Rivet gun can one-shot Omnic Drones, as he fought in the Omnic Crisis he would have had to fight Bastion units and OR-14s on a near daily basis. Crushed an Omnic Drone with his Forge. Portrayed as comparable to Ana, who, as 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. Scales similarly to Tracer and Genji who fought several Talon heavy assault unitsStorm Rising, which can no-sell this), likely Large Building level (Junker Queen stated she's fought R-7000 Ravagers, but finds them a bit gimmicky.Overwatch 2 interaction Torbjörn, alongside other Overwatch founding members like Ana, has fought R-7000 Ravagers during the Omnic Crisis. And is portrayed as comparable to Tracer who has fought Heavy Assaults being capable of fighting Winston during the events of Storm Rising)

Lifting Strength: Peak Human (Crushed an Omnic Drone with his Forge)
Striking Strength: Building level, likely Large Building level (His punches alone can crush the scanning system inside the Titan Omnic)
Durability: Building level, likely Large Building level (Can withstand his own blows.), higher with Overload
Stamina: Peak Human (Can go through entire firefights without getting winded and made his way through a giant Omnic the size of a skyscraper while constantly fighting with no signs of exhaustion)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically; Tens of Meters with Rivet Gun and Turrets
Standard Equipment:

*Rivet Gun: Torbjörn's primary weapon, a gun that shoots heated rivets at ranges and speeds comparable to most firearms, allowing them to deal comparable if not superior damage due to the projectile's higher temperature and larger size. As a consequence, the rivet moves in a slight arc due to the rivets' shape. He can also fire molten scrap in a spray comparable to a shotgun blast, but this consumes a greater amount of ammunition and the individual pellets lack the impact of the rivets, limiting this function to close range combat.
*Turrets: Torbjörn carries at least one, likely more, turrets on his person at all times, being single-shot with aimbot with no upgrades, with just one hit of his Forge Hammer, Torbjörn turns a measly slow single-shot turret into a twin-barreled turret capable of distracting his enemies and fortifying positions to a more reasonable degree.
*Forge Hammer: Torbjörn uses his multipurpose hammer to build, upgrade, and repairs turrets and, in a pinch, can also be used as a weapon.
*Snare Grenades: Small, handheld devices designed for incapacitation, snare grenades are able to act on both a proximity mine and a manually activated device. when active, the grenades rapidly unravel into several hundred feet of durable steel cable strong enough to restrain a Bastion unit and fast enough to ensnare before it can react.
Intelligence: Genius (Torbjörn is widely considered one of the greatest weaponsmiths and engineers in the world, as well as possessing a deep understanding of robotics, thermodynamics, and abstract algebra. Before the Omnic Crisis, Torbjörn had gained notoriety for designing weapons systems used by countries around the world, as well as working as part of the Ironclad Guild is a research and development group, designing the E54 Bastion and Titan units and while there. When the Crisis began, Torbjörn was hand-recruited to join the original Overwatch strike team because of his engineering genius, and his many inventions proved integral to ending the conflict. In the years that followed, Torbjörn remained a critical resource for all of Overwatch's technological needs and signature weapons systems, with the organization at its height possessing one of the most advanced armaments on the planet, which could be traced to Torbjörn's work. This included the development of biotic technology, including Ana's biotic rifle and Mercy's Valkyrie suit, as well as assisting in the design of Reinhardt's Crusader Armor and Hammer, Bastion's upgraded armor and weapons systems, and Brigitte's armor. In combat he prefers to let his Turrets do their work, deploying them to hold down chokepoints and keeping them in working condition in spite of heavy enemy resistance. However, he was swung into action with his trusty hammer and rivet gun on more than one occasion and has many years of combat experience as one of Overwatch's founding members)
Weaknesses: Torbjörn is excessively prideful in his inventions at times and looks down upon robotic entities, whether they be allies or enemies. His Turret can only lock on to a single target at a time and has a limited targeting range.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Build Turret: Torbjörn is able to set up a single autocannon that locks on and fires at anything Torbjörn deems a threat, including other structures, traps, mines, and delayed explosives. While it initially fires low-caliber bullets at a slow rate, Torbjörn is able to upgrade both the ammunition and rate of fire if given enough time. In addition, upon activating the Molten Core, the turret's firepower and rate of fire increase further and a missile launcher is temporarily erected on top to further up its firepower. Each upgrade also raises the Turret's resistance to damage, allowing it to withstand greater amounts of punishment before it is destroyed.
*Overload: Torbjörn gains additional armor as well as improved attack, movement, and reload speed for a brief period.
*Armor Packs: Torbjörn is a master of improvisation, allowing him to turn random scrap into makeshift armor that can help him and his allies withstand additional punishment, reducing damage taken while it lasts.
*Molten Core (New): Torbjörn creates pools of molten slag that he sprays on the ground, that deal massive, sustained damage and prevent enemies from walking past it.
*Molten Core (Old): Torbjörn is able to overclock his Personal Forge to initiate this ability, granting him a massive amount of armor and allowing him to fire his Rivet Gun and swing his Forge Hammer at much higher speeds, consequently increasing his ability to build, repair, and upgrade his turrets. In addition, if his turret is already upgraded, it will reach an additional stage that mounts a missile launcher to deal even more damage as well as greatly enhancing its normal durability.
