Mercy76

Mercy76 is the het ship between Mercy and Soldier: 76 from the Overwatch fandom.

Canon
Jack Morrison joined the armed forces to fight in the omnic wars, and became a subject in the Soldier Enhancement Program. When the Omnic Wars ended, Overwatch was created, and Jack became it's leader. Public opinion of Overwatch began to dwindle, and during that time, Jack got into a fight with his friend Gabriel Reyes. The fight caused the Swiss HQ to blow up, and everyone believed the two died in the resulting explosion. Jack took on the alias Soldier: 76 and set out to get revenge on those that destroyed Overwatch.

Angela joined Overwatch at a young age and became the head of medical research. She discovered new uses for nanobiology and how to use it to heal injuries and illness. She developed the valkyrie suit, so that she could use the tech on the battlefield, taking the call name "Mercy" when she did. After Overwatch was disbanded, Mercy continued to use her tech to heal others.

Fanon
Many consider the two the "Mom and Dad" of the Overwatch team. Fan art will depict the two surrounded by baby versions of the other Overwatch heroes.

On AO3 it is the second most written ship for Soldier: 76, and the fourth most written for Mercy.

Support for it slowly dwindled after it was confirmed by Overwatch lead writer Michael Chu that Soldier:76 was gay and had a former lover named Vincent. In the comics, Soldier: 76 kept a photo of himself and Vincent, which he viewed at Christmas. This hinted that he may still have had feelings for Vincent.
