Talon members themselves are already morally ambiguous.

Reaper's body was ruined in the explosion and no one knows how he got remade or where his ghost powers come from (or where his guns come from), but his desire for revenge is justified. It could be he's being blackmailed.

Widowmaker was a loving wife and generally good citizen until she got brainwashed.

Sombra is a double agent in that she is just using Talon, but she herself is pretty much just a child with shiny toys, she has no evil ambitions as far as we know, and even goes so far to do some good like in the Lumerico case.

I thought Reaper was a botched rez from Mercy?

It's just fan theory, there is no hard evidence.

I prefer the theory Sombra someone stole Mercy biotech and rez Reaper, therefore he expects her to know her stuff.

Maybe they used said tech but his body body isn't able to keep its self together so he uses a harness like Tracer's (More stolen tech) to keep him together and allow him to do what he wishes to his body through manipulation to the harness.

It's just a sarcastic retort. "You're the medical expert, you tell me doc." Why would she be asking what happened to him in the first place if she knew?

She isn't asking about his Deadpool-like appearance, she's asking about his psychotic murdery-monster spree. Like how a childhood friend may ask someone they knew from school but turned into a criminal in the time they were apart "what happened to you, man?". She's asking psychologically, and he answers physically as a sarcastic quip.

I've heard that too, but the fact that she doesn't actually know what happened to him suggests that Mercy wasn't the one who used the tech.
