Overall Reaper's powers were Godlike and made him a formidable foe. He is also capable of being able of turning into an ethereal wraith that makes him immune to damage, Even without his immense powers, he has superhuman strength, durability, reflexes, and agility.

His hellfire shotguns are immensely powerful, capable of taking down primal Winston in a few shots. His immortality makes him impossible to kill, and even beyond that, Reaper is able to come back from powerful blows and even being disintegrated. After a fight with Winston and Tracer, this, too, was unsuccessful though both escaped intact, the gauntlet was badly damaged and the two lost their upper hand.īeing an undead wraith, Reaper wields unimaginable power. In the Cinematic Trailer, Reaper works with Widowmaker to steal Doomfist's gauntlet from a museum. Though he brought a squadron of Talon agents as backup, the operation was not successful. In Recall, Reaper attempted to invade Watchpoint: Gibraltar, assassinate Winston, and hack into his database to find other agents' locations. He joined Talon's forces and developed a new identity as Reaper, a masked terrorist that hunts down and assassinates former Overwatch agents. He began to organize a rebellion within Overwatch that ultimately led to a conflict at the Swiss Headquarters, resulting in an explosion that supposedly killed both Reyes and Morrison. Over time, Reyes began to resent Morrison for receiving the public's attention while he received none. At some point, Blackwatch member Moira experimented on him, altering his cells to decay and regenerate at an increased rate. He oversaw Overwatch's covert ops missions and trained agents like McCree. When Overwatch successfully put down the crisis, Morrison was promoted to Strike Commander while Reyes became head of Blackwatch.

Though Reyes led the strike team, Morrison was recognized as the team's moral fabric. When the Omnic Crisis began and the UN began to assemble Overwatch, the two accepted the offer to join alongside Reinhardt Wilhelm, Torbjörn Lindholm, and Ana Amari. Born in Los Angeles, Reyes was enlisted into the US's Soldier Enhancement Program, and through it became close friends with Jack Morrison, who would later became known as the vigilante Soldier: 76. Gabriel Reyes was a senior officer in the US military. Despite the agony of being disintegrated by Winston's tesla cannon, he is able to hold on to his sanity proving how pain tolerant Reaper is. In spite of how cold-hearted he is, Reaper doesn't seem to mind cracking jokes related to death and The Grim Reaper, showing that even he has the time to display his own sense of humor. He additionally has a tendency to get annoyed, an example of this being his reaction to Mercy resurrecting enemy teammates. Reaper also expresses dislike for the Omnics, according to his insults whenever he defeats Bastion or Zenyatta. He is often conceited, sadistic and petty, as shown in the Cinematic Trailer where he goes out of his way to step on Winston's glasses before attempting to kill him. Reaper admits to being 'a high-functioning psychopath', having a passion for murder and vengeance and is willing to kill even without a solid motivation. They believe that Reaper is hunting former Overwatch agents and systematically eliminating them. Those attempting to track his movements have begun to see a pattern in his appearances. It is possible that he is a byproduct of failed genetic alteration which forces his cells to simultaneously decay and regenerate at a hyper-accelerated rate. The few bodies recovered of those he kills are pale, empty husks drained of life, their cells showing signs of intense degradation. Survivors have described a black shadow ghosting unscathed through the most hellish battlefields. He has fought in many armed conflicts in the last decades, showing no loyalty to any cause or organization, except Talon.

The Reaper is an extremely volatile mercenary, a ruthless and remorseless killer responsible for terrorist attacks across the world. What is known is that where he appears, death follows. Some speak of a black-robed terrorist known only as the Reaper.
