which caused her to vanish and reappear in and out of existence and random times and was completely intangible when she was because she was no longer anchored to time. When Overwatch finally found Lena, it was discovered that the accident had given her the world's first case of what was dubbed chronal disassociation. However, the Slipstream's teleportation matrix malfunctioned during its first flight, and both it and Lena disappeared. Lena ended up being selected to be the first pilot of the experimental jet, with her saying it was the sort of opportunity she had been dreaming of her whole life and became part of Overwatch's flight operations. When Overwatch began seeking out a pilot to test their next-generation fighter jet the Slipstream, a fighter jet capable of teleportation. At a young age, Lena Oxton was accepted into the Royal Air Force as a test pilot under the call sign Tracer. In Lena's own words she said that when she was younger. Since Overwatch's dissolution, Tracer has continued to right wrongs and fight the good fight wherever the opportunity presents itself. With her newfound skills, she became one of Overwatch's most effective agents. In addition, it gave Tracer the ability to control her own time, allowing her to speed it up and slow it down at will. Overwatch's doctors and scientists were stumped, and Tracer's case seemed hopeless until a scientist named Winston designed the chronal accelerator, a device capable of keeping Tracer anchored in the present. Even for the brief moments she was present, she was unable to maintain a physical form. Suffering from "chronal disassociation," she was a living ghost, disappearing for hours and days at a time. She reappeared months later, but her ordeal had greatly changed her: her molecules had been desynchronized from the flow of time. But during its first flight, the aircraft's teleportation matrix malfunctioned, and it disappeared. Known for her fearless piloting skills, she was handpicked to test the prototype of a teleporting fighter, the Slipstream. Lena Oxton (call sign: "Tracer") was the youngest person ever inducted into Overwatch's experimental flight program. The former Overwatch agent known as Tracer is a time-jumping adventurer and an irrepressible force for good.
