History ShoutOut / Overwatch

* His "Hoard" spray is a reference to ''Anime/{{Hamtaro}}'', showing Hammond sitting with his feet up on a pile of sunflower seeds with a green leaf on his head and a CatSmile on his face.

* Tracer trying to get the floppy bit of hair drooping across her forehead by blowing on it is a direct reference to Quentin Quail's attempts to do the same thing in [[UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheForties old Looney Tunes cartoons]].

* Her "Duplicate" spray is a reference to the Franchise/SpiderMan "clone" meme, featuring Genji and Echo (in Genji's form) pointing at each other in the same poses.

* Her Hot Rod skin is a blatant reference to Comicbook/IronMan and possibly also the [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Transformer]] with the same name.

* His Caution and Irin skins resemble the Jack series from ''{{VideoGame/Tekken}}'', with the latter adding [[Franchise/XMen Colossus]]-esque steel skin.

* One of his trophies, won by combining his Earthshatter, Fire Strike and Charge, is called "Storm, Earth and Fire". It's a reference to a band of Blizzard employees who worked on ''VideoGame/Warcraft3'' known as "The Tauren Chieftains". Their song, "Power of the Horde", opens with the line "Storm, earth, and fire, heed my call."

* Her dance emote is based on shuffle dancing performed by Elena Cruz [[https://youtu.be/PxpKa-nLRH8 as seen here]].

* His ''Rising Uppercut'' functions exactly as a {{Shoryuken}} from ''VideoGame/StreetFighter''. What makes this an actual shout out is that the animation itself functions the same way as when Ryu or Ken pulls off the move: Doomfist floats in the air at the top of his launch for a split second before momentum stops and gravity takes over. Taken further with Doomfist's "Move Fist" spray, which shows the aforementioned moves' button combo. Another reference is his "Supersonic Boom" spray, which shows him in a pose similar as Charlie/Nash's when using the move.

* The "Hamster Ball" spray shows Hammond spinning in a ball like ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog.''

* One of his speed-boost lines in Overwatch 2 is "[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Gotta go quick!]]"

* One of his unlockable voice lines is "I'm not a psychopath. I'm a high-functioning psychopath." This is a riff on the line "I'm not a psychopath. I'm a high-functioning sociopath, from ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''.

* Before they were removed in Ver 1.12, whenever Reaper scored a kill, his victim would leaves behind a crimson, spherical, swirling soul, reminiscent of their depiction in ''Manga/SoulEater''.

* His Anniversary dance emote is hip hop dance the Cabbage Patch

!!Sigma
* His selection quote is a direct reference to Neil deGrasse Tyson.
-->'''Sigma:''' ''"There is no obligation for the universe to make sense to you".''
* When looking through the telescope on Horizon Lunar Colony, Sigma will quote Literature/KafkaOnTheShore by Creator/HarukiMurakami or Creator/CarlSagan.
-->'''Sigma:''' ''"Beyond the edge of the world there's a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard."''
-->'''Sigma:''' ''"The stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they're watching us.''
-->'''Sigma:''' ''"By looking far out into space, we are also looking far back into time, back toward the horizon of the universe."''

!!Doomfist
* His ''Rising Uppercut'' functions exactly as a {{Shoryuken}} from ''VideoGame/StreetFighter''.

* Among his many taunts is, "You come at the king, you better not miss," quoting Omar Little's line in ''Series/TheWire''.
* His "The Greatest" spray shows Doomfist standing triumphantly over a wrecked [=OR15=], in the same way that UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli [[https://thumbs.mic.com/ZDliMjM5NTIyNCMvNmMxMjJJdHAydHFfT25tR1hkVlh2SUZsNXU4PS8xOTJ4MTI6MTcyOHg4NzYvODAweDQ1MC9maWx0ZXJzOmZvcm1hdChqcGVnKTpxdWFsaXR5KDgwKS9odHRwczovL3MzLmFtYXpvbmF3cy5jb20vcG9saWN5bWljLWltYWdlcy95Z21qcGtuZGVvdXl6Y25yeTB1amgzem5lMWljbmwyeHFmcHZ6NWFob2N6ZXhyeml4am96Z3RpMXJ4eHY1NTJoLmpwZw.jpg stood over Sonny Liston]].
