Trivia

• Reaper's voice line, "I'm back in black," references the song and album of the same name by the rock band AC/DC.
• The voice line for Reaper, "This is my curse..." is a possible reference to the song by the metalcore band Killswitch Engage.
• The line "Dead man walking" references a longstanding phrase used to announce United States prison inmates being escorted to their execution. In the Warcraft Universe, the Lich Unit also uses the same line when executing an attack on an enemy Unit.
• The line "I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning psychopath" parodies a similar line from the BBC television program Sherlock, where the title character insists he is a "high-functioning sociopath," rather than a psychopath.
• The line "If it lives, I can kill it" references a similar line from the film Predator, where a character named Dutch surmises of the titular alien, "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
• The line "Angel of Death" could be a reference to Blizzard's Diablo 3, as in one of the characters named "Malthael" is also mentioned as "Angel of Death". A more likely alternative is that it's referencing the mythological being that just about every single culture/religion/civilization throughout human history has invented a variation upon for their own lore; 'the Grim Reaper' is the secular title for the one responsible for collecting the souls from the bodies of the dead.
• Reaper's datamined voice line "Come at the king, best not miss" is shared by Doomfist as a final blow voice line however Reaper's was discovered months prior.
• Both of Reaper's Summer Games voice lines are shortened versions of the original voice lines that have been datamined prior to the event.
• Reaper's voice line "It's in the refrigerator" is a reference to NBA announcer Chick Hearn's famous quote "This game's in the refrigerator: the door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jigglin'!"
• The voice line "Just win" is another sports reference. It's based on the motto of the American Football team, the Las Vegas (formerly Oakland) Raiders. The motto was coined by the team's late owner, Al Davis.
• The unused line "Kobe, eat your heart out" is yet another sports reference. It refers to the late, great Kobe Bryant, a basketball player who spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Lakers and is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
• The line "It's just not the same since they cleaned up all the smog." is possibly in reference to Los Angeles, where Reaper had likely lived before Overwatch.
• The line "The man in black followed" is likely a bastardisation of the quote "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed" from the Stephen King's 'The Gunslinger' ('The Dark Tower', #1).
• Despite being an unused quote, the line "Killing is as easy as breathing" is a reference to the 2008 film Rambo.
