Biography

Thanks to his military training, Reaper has a 'sixth sense' for danger.[2] Due to experiments carried out by Doctor Moira O'Deorain,[3] Reaper's cells simultaneously decay and regenerate at a hyper-accelerated rate.[1] The process has been described as "molecular cleansing," where he is "wiped away piece by piece." One moment he may appear as flesh and blood, the next, as a cloud of black smoke—disjointed, but still in control of his molecules.[2] Even after the complete destruction of his body, Reaper has been observed to retain some kind of form as a black mist, apparently able to regain physical form at a later point.[4] He has described living in the condition as a form of "constant agony," though it is only through O'Deorain's experiments that he is able to stay alive.[5] Because of these same treatments, Reaper finds it difficult to control his anger.[2] Reaper dual-wields Hellfire shotguns, and is equipped with a special mask. While the latter has its practical uses, part of the reason he keeps it on is to hide is disfigured face, and to not be recognized by his former family.[2] As Gabriel Reyes, the man who would become Reaper had a sense of honor that his later persona came to consider antiquated. As Reaper, Reyes believes in a "code of violence," which is, in his view, the only code the world respects. To this end, he is willing to work with Talon, believing in Doomfist's vision for a new world order.[2]
