I live...againnnn...a long time ago, after being betrayed by the god he worshipped, a rage-fueled man named Caleb rose from the grave to kill the dark god along with his entire cult. And now, 100 years later, he has risen once more to Take the Train! He may seem disinterested, but he has big plans if he takes the win...trains don’t have much luck with him, do they?

Reigning from Junkertown, Australia ~2070 A.D., Jamison “Junkrat” Fawkes and Mako “Roadhog” Rutledge seem to have “borrowed” a formal invitation after a successful job! To honor their vigilance, our host has allowed them to take the place of the intended contestant. Masters of the heist and pyrotechnics of any kind, these two freaks are going to blow up the polls!

POWER COLOR: AMBER

STRENGTHS: Despite looking incredibly amateur, these two have pulled off heists only the best of the best could get away with.

WEAKNESSES: The rat's a little too eager, and the hog's much more passive than he looks.
