Overview
Tracer, whose actual name is Lena Oxton, is a valiant hero hailing from Britain and was one of the pioneering members of Overwatch, a task force uniting several nations to achieve global peace amidst war and discord. She has mastered the art of piloting and combat and utilizes time-manipulation technology to move speedily and reverse time.
In her past, Tracer worked as a test pilot for the Slipstream, a state-of-the-art fighter jet. However, an unfortunate mishap occurred during a test flight, leading to Lena’s disappearance. She later resurfaced, but her molecular structure was in flux, causing her to flicker in and out of existence unpredictably.
Thanks to Winston’s creation of the chronal accelerator, a remarkable device allowing Tracer to regulate her time stream and remain anchored in the present, she can maintain a stable existence and continue her exploits with Overwatch. Her exceptional abilities were integral to Overwatch’s fight against global threats, and Tracer remains a valuable asset to the team.
