Overwatch Recalled: The Queen
So, I mentioned that I wanted to discuss possible future character. I have a list of characters I want to go over, but I want to start with The Junker Queen.
What We Know: The Queen, also called “the Queen of Junkertown” or “the Junker Queen”, is a Junker like Junkrat and Roadhog. The voice actress for Junker Queen is Siho Ellsmore, a Australian actress, voice actor, and filmmaker who is currently based in New York City. Junker Queen is the Ruler of Junkertown and used to be a mech gladiator champion in the Scrapyard. She is known for being charismatic and a skilled fighter who rules over Junkertown with the help of enforcers. Although being from Junkertown, like Junkrat and Roadhog, she doesn’t like either of them. She exiled them from Junkertown and put a bounty on their heads.
With that said, she gets along well with Wrecking Ball(Hammond) and made him the mech champion of the Scrapyard, we know this because of one of Wrecking Ball’s sprays in-game and his origin story. We also know that she has blue hair, greyish-blue makeup, a red cape, blue ripped pants, and a black and white top. As well as being a champion level mech fighter, we can assume that her primary weapon is the axe that she is seen holding in her poster on Junkertown. We know that there is a chance of her being a hero because the Overwatch Devs. have mentioned her several time.
Speculation: We know from the Junkertown: The Plan animated short, that Junkrat and Roadhog stole from the Queen which caused her to not let them into Junkertown, but based off of the Wasted Land comic we know that the Queen and Roadhog already had a tense relationship due to something Roadhog did that personally upset the Queen. We also know that they have known each other for a while since the Queen is one of two characters, the other being Bruce from the Wasted Land comic, that calls Roadhog Mako. If that is the case, then the Queen and Roadhog might have been in the Australian Liberation Front together before the destruction of the Australian outback.
Based on what we know about her, a lot of people think she would be either a DPS or a tank kind of like Doomfist or Reinhardt with her axe. But, I think she is going to be a support. We know that she is charismatic and that she is good at rallying support from people which would lean into being a very tough-love support character. Having her as a support would also mean that we have a Junker tank(Roadhog, maybe Wrecking Ball), Junker DPS(Junkrat), and Junker support(Junker Queen).
Anyways, I plan on posting about another possible map to be added to Overwatch 2 in the next few days, and if you want to check out good videos about the Junker Queen, check out Master Ian Gamer’s Hero Candidate Breakdown video and his Hero Kit Concept video on her.
TLDR: The Junker Queen is a former mech fighter who now is the leader of Junkertown. She doesn’t like Junkrat and Roadhog, but she likes Wrecking Ball. There is a good chance of her being added to the game since the developers have mentioned that she is one of their favorite character. We know she is a mech fighter, but her main weapon is probably the axe. There is a chance that she could be any of the roles, but I want her to be a support. Check out Master Ian Gamer’s videos about her, his Character Breakdown and Kit Concept video.
