In the menu background, there’s a scientist, who’s presumably Velma.
Any ideas? New merc perhaps? (A robot pilot 
?)
What's Velma doing in the game?

Probally a random scientist who was testing Jav’s rocket.
That or we’re getting a Mystery Machine trinket.

Nah Nah Nah, it’s totally Mei from Overwatch. She’s jumped ship and started working as a scientist again after being scarred by OW’s toxic community XD

@ostmustis has informed me this lady was forged to fulfill my desires, and if I just believe enough, she will be made incarnate.
So I’m fucking believing as hard as I can cause Pyrex is sexy.
He’s also pointed out there has never been a non-merc in any ingame art.

Honestly it really does look a lot like a skinnier Mei, IMO.

Actually he was renamed Fragger before the model was changed, so that picture is both Dazzler and Fragger.

Why did I just think, that Dazzler was actually a fusion of Fragger and some unseen hipster?
Did Dazzler at one point unfuse?
Why am I making a DBZ’esque theory in DB?

Little bit of DB history for the trivia-inclined:
- The original merc was Dazzler back in the days when every merc had frag grenades, Dazzler’s unique ability was the flashbang (hence his name).
- Frags were removed as a common piece of kit and given to Dazzler / now Fragger as his unique ability while the flash effect was passed on to Thunder whose grenades used to be concussion and EMP with no flash (until the EMP bit was transferred to Phantom…).
- Dazzler and Fragger never co-existed, they are the evolution of the same merc.
Several of the mercs actually had name changes along the way, but in the case of Dazzler / Fragger, the fact that the model changed drastically probably also contributed to the urban legend that there were two distinct mercs.
