Peter Parker is a huge dork, so it’s probably not surprising that when he’s not busy being your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, he’s as swept up in Blizzard’s excellent hero shooter Overwatch as the rest of the internet. But let’s ask the real questions: who does Spider-Man play as the most in Overwatch?
This week’s Spider-Man/Deadpool #10, by Joe Kelley, Ed McGuinness, and Jason Kieth, opens with the heroes recuperating in Deadpool’s clubhouse after a close encounter with a strange new villain trying to turn Wade and Peter into a pile of mush. But instead of Deadpool goofing off mid-brainstorm, it’s Peter Parker... by thoroughly thumping some fools in a round or two of Overwatch, apparently. Deadpool probably just wants to save himself for whenever Half-Life 3 comes out.
But while we learn the spectacular Spider-Man is a big fan of Blizzard’s latest game, we don’t get to see who he’s playing as. Do you think Spidey’s a mean Genji? Maybe he prefers a supportive character like Mercy, or a tank like Reinhardt? I’m gonna guess Tracer, considering Pete’s love of a good quip himself.
Let’s get to the bottom of this clearly crucial moment in comics canon, people. Suggest your theories in the comments below.

Obviously. But does it set off his spider sense when someone has him in their sights?
