Thought I'd come up with something for this. Let me know what you think!
Real Name: Alexander Clifford
Age: 25
Race: Human
Nationality: American
Personality: Alexander is confident and aware of his own abilities, but doesn't pay that much attention to the emotions of the people around him. It's not that he is outright cruel, he just doesn't care what people think of him. He is constantly curious due to the fact that he still does not fully understand his own abilities, and is eager to learn more, not only about himself, but anything he doesn't fully understand. He believes that most people have some sort of good in them, and once he commits to something, it can be hard to get him to stop.

Brief History: Alexander was 12 years old and beginning puberty when he destroyed his room. Not in the way most guardians would expect, with dirty laundry and toys strewn everywhere. The boy's room exploded one night, leaving him in the hospital for weeks, his uncle watching over him worried and distraught. A police investigation concluded that it must have been a freak accident with the pipes or wires, because they couldn't find any trace of a planted bomb.
Alexander knew what it was, though.
He was reading a book, tracing his finger, and as he traced over the word blast, it followed his finger, launching out of the book. Every night for the next couple of years was spent in an open and empty field with a dictionary, seeing what words he was able to summon. By the time he was 17, he was able to utilize the words "blast", "hide", "ball", "launch", "slam", "jump", "wheelbarrow", and "destruction". "Destruction" cannot be used extensively; the first time that Alexander used it, he blacked out for a full 30 minutes. He might have been out for longer if it wasn't for Vincent. Vincent was the boy who found him lying in the grass, the boy who took him to his house to see if he was okay, the boy who looked terrified of what Alexander could do. Later, he would become the boy that Alexander loved.
The couple graduated from school and took up work around their town, but Alexander has heard of the resurgence of Overwatch, and has answered the call, now chosen as an agent. He believes that abilities such as his have to be used to help others. He leaves his home with a heavy heart, but hope for the future.
Combat Role: Offense
Sub-class: Flanker
Abilities:
All of Alexander's abilities use words that he has in a book. He has a book with hundreds of copies of the words that he is able to use.
Primary Fire: Lexicon throws the word "LAUNCH" from his book. It behaves similar to a thrown dagger.
Secondary Fire: Lexicon throws out the word "SLAM" from his book. It is a short range attack, that is useful for putting distance between close enemies, similar to Lucio's alternate fire.
Ultimate: Summon Word: Destruction - Using much of his available power, Lexicon summons an orb of many swirling copies of the word "DESTRUCTION", a large and, for lack of a better word, destructive sphere of energy that explodes out. He is able to attach an adjective that will give those hit by it an effect:
"TOXIC DESTRUCTION": Destruction gives all those hit with it a toxic poison effect, doing damage over time and reducing healing by 25%.
"ALPHA DESTRUCTION": Destruction deals extra damage on hit.
"TERMINAL DESTRUCTION": Destruction does less damage to healthy enemies, but all enemies that are already decently injured are dealt extreme damage.
"DRAINING DESTRUCTION": Destruction is launched as normal, and Lexicon heals at a value equal to half the damage dealt by it.
Strengths: Lexicon is very good at dealing damage, and his Hide ability lets him sneak up and flank enemies very well. His jump ability would make a good vantage point for Mercy to fly to, and the versatility of his ultimate allows for many uses in different situations.
Weaknesses: Lexicon doesn't wear much armor and can't take too much of a beating. His abilities can be very draining, and he has to wait a decently long time before using them again. Destruction is extremely powerful, but he hasn't mastered it as much as he'd like. It takes almost 6 seconds to summon the orb and launch it, and once he uses it he falls prone for a couple seconds.

Summon Word: Blast
Lexicon uses his book to send the word "BLAST" flying. It behaves similar to a rocket. It has an area knockback effect, but only if it hits the floor. If it hits an enemy, they and only they are knocked back.Summon Word: Hide
Lexicon summons the word "HIDE". Anything that touches/holds it (limited to one living thing) becomes invisible, along with the word. It only lasts for a maximum of 20 seconds, and if the user is shot the word/effect disappears.Summon Word: Jump
Lexicon summons the word "JUMP" and throws it onto the ground. If someone jumps onto it, it acts as an insanely strong spring, launching them into the air. "JU" and "MP" attach to the user's feet so that they take no damage on the landing.Primary Fire: Lexicon throws the word "LAUNCH" from his book. It behaves similar to a thrown dagger.
Secondary Fire: Lexicon throws out the word "SLAM" from his book. It is a short range attack, that is useful for putting distance between close enemies, similar to Lucio's alternate fire.
