JunkRat
Junkrat is the alias of Jamison Fawkes, a character who first appeared in the 2016 video game Overwatch, a Blizzard Entertainment–developed first-person hero shooter, and the resulting franchise. Junkrat is an insane man obsessed with explosives, living in an irradiated Australia. After finding a valuable secret, he becomes a target for various groups and forms a partnership with the character Roadhog. The two engage in a crime spree, but later come into conflict with the city Junkertown and its ruler, Junker Queen.
Junkrat was well received upon debut, seen as a humorous madman character in the vein of those such as comic book villains the Joker or the Green Goblin. His gameplay has received similar praise, particularly for how well critics feel it suits his overall personality. Junkrat has been seen as a positive example of disability representation in video games due to his prosthetic limbs, though at the same time has received some criticism for Blizzard's cultural and a perceived reliance on stereotypes.
