The Junker Queen (also known as "the Queen of Junkertown" or simply "the Queen")[1] is the cutthroat leader of the Junkers. She is based in Junkertown.[2] All the Junkers have to be careful from getting on her bad side.[1] She has a group of enforcers that she sends round to the people of Junkertown when they don't pay their taxes, among other tasks.[3]
Story
The Queen was originally a fighter and champion[4] in the Scrapyard. A charismatic and skilled fighter, she became the town's ruler as a result of her prowess as a mech combatant.[5]
One of the town's Junkers named Junkrat blabbed on and on about a 'treasure' he had found in the ruins of the Australian omnium. She came to suspect that his claims might have some truth in them, and she sent some of her enforcers to wring the truth out of him. Unfortunately, the enforcers were incapacitated by another Junker named Roadhog, who became Junkrat's partner in crime.[3] The two went on to cause the Queen a string of problems, including stealing her gold and blowing up her summer shack. The pair were exiled as a result[6] and she gave orders for them to not be re-admitted to Junkertown, and if they were seen again, to shoot them on sight.[7] After a worldwide heist spree, they returned to Junkertown to assassinate her but were stopped at the town gates.[6]
