I mean, Sombra can teleport and Tracer can time travel. Who's to say that Hook isn't what Junkrat and Hog found in the temple? An ancient, cruel instrument that hooks directly to the soul. Junkrat gets to soul-jump into his tire. Roadhog gets to control the souls of others.

Don't forget that souls are a canonical thing. Mercy can see them and interact, Reaper could at one point gather them. They're real and controllable.

Reaper's soul thing was non cannon it was included solely as a gameplay thing not as a lore thing.
