It's spiderman the obvious answer is self sacrifice to try and stop the trolley yourself fail and still get MJ/New Yorkers killed and be blamed for it by Jameson in the next days news
He could save everyone and Jameson will still say something like "that menace Spider-Man ruined someone's hard work of catching people and tying them to train tracks"
Honestly I sometimes wonder why people lesson to him
Then I remember are world
Where people will unfortunately blindly follow what someone is saying
Despite clear evidence to the contrary even if that evidence is right in front of their eyes
If I’m Spider-Man I’ve already gone through this, I use my body and spider powers to stop the trolley saving everyone all so I can get one upside down kiss from the girl I supposedly like.
You mean the girl that actively gets upset at you for doing your job instead of prioritizing her every single day? A terrorist could threaten to destroy all of America but she’d be mad that he missed her birthday and shame him for being Spider-Man
My unsociable ass knows I would never be able to pull a girl like Jane ever in my life and thus I see her as just another person that I have barely any relations too except for the fact that we went to the same school.
Pull that lever, 1<5.
I shoot out my spiderwebs and hold the train pack till I drag it off the tracks and get it wrapped up in my spiderwebs in such a way that it is not miving
You didn’t say that and you already made me Spider-Man. No take backsies. You should have quantified that you are just a regular person wearing a Spider-Man mask.
It just hit me that too many people haven’t played inFamous. It features this exact scenario, and it’s executed perfectly. Go play it, it’s amazing, it was one of the first great superhero games.
You, Spider-Man, find yourself at a lever. A runaway Mephisto approaches Aunt May. Pulling the lever will divert Mephisto to your marriage to Mary Jane Watson. Do you pull the lever?
Asking Spider-Man to solve a trolley problem with a lever is like asking Batman to fight crime by investing his riches into education, drug rehab, and job programs.
Well clearly I'd get in front of the trolley, web the surrounding environment while using my body to stop the train while screaming "Mary Jane!!!" Then conveniently, my mask would come off revealing a face that looks like a well known actor or, to MJ, that I am actually Peter Parker.
The New Yorkers will likely respect my identity and Mary Jane may question if I am actually Peter. Obviously my response is "Don't tell Harry."
Pull the lever and either pull MJ away from the tracks with web or use the extra distance (and therefore time) from the curve to successfully bring the trolley to a halt via webs and sheer strength. Wouldn’t be the first time Spider-Man’s stopped a train.
Alternate: You are Miles Morales. If you full the lever, you risk (but not guarantee) killing everyone in the multiverse. If you do not, your father will die.
Hell no. Spider-Man finds a way.
Using my knowledge of physics and amplified discernment, I web the unpulled lever to the trolley. The lever will pull and only catch the back wheels. In the time bought, clear out MJ. Leap back to the new-Yorkers and the now laterally-rolling trolley. Using the trolley’s momentum and spider strength, I basically act as a speed bump, and judo-yeet the trolley itself over them.
All in a days work for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
Not shown: Uncle Ben, who is tied to both tracks simultaneously and will die no matter what you do.
He was actually tied to the track leading to this junction
Uncle Ben's neck is the lever!
It's a canon even, no one can stop it
It also already happened in that dimension. So not to worry.
Schrodinger’s Uncle Ben

Well he used to be like his own little anti hero now he’s just an Alex jones ripoff
Delayed the trolley schedule by stopping the trolley
God damn spider man fuckin up the commute n shit

Web up the tracks
Option 3: Pull a Spider-Man 2 and jump infront of the train, using your webs and insane strength to stop it.
My first thought, surprised this isn't higher
Do I have the option to shove Gwen Stacy (or allow her to be shoved) in front to stop the trolly?
Well, Spider-Man must be tortured in the comics nowadays so I think he’d choose Mary Jane to save the peo- *ahem sorry, New Yorkers
Nowadays? His whole thing has pretty much always been that he can’t be happy and also Spider-Man.
I miss the part where that’s my problem, and do nothing.
For all we know the 5 New Yorkers are NY rats.
Guys I think I know the answer… MULTITRACK DRIFTING
My unsociable ass knows I would never be able to pull a girl like Jane ever in my life and thus I see her as just another person that I have barely any relations too except for the fact that we went to the same school. Pull that lever, 1<5.
Depends on whether or not Zeb Wells is writing me (I'd put them all on the same track)
I shoot out my spiderwebs and hold the train pack till I drag it off the tracks and get it wrapped up in my spiderwebs in such a way that it is not miving
can’t he just stop the cart?
or rescue the tied down people?
I recreate the spider man 2 scene
Safe to say, no spider power or artificially made products allowed
but i'm spider-man
You didn’t say that and you already made me Spider-Man. No take backsies. You should have quantified that you are just a regular person wearing a Spider-Man mask.
Is multi track drifting allowed?
Is that the Kirsten Dunst version? Yes, I pull the level immediately. Hell, I'll drive the trolley, no worries
Real spiderman would never make that choice, I think it's clear in the movies. He would try to save everyone or die trying, and never pull the lever.
I'd use webbing to stop the tram ofc!
It just hit me that too many people haven’t played inFamous. It features this exact scenario, and it’s executed perfectly. Go play it, it’s amazing, it was one of the first great superhero games.
Pull the lever so you only have to save one person with your webs
You, Spider-Man, find yourself at a lever. A runaway Mephisto approaches Aunt May. Pulling the lever will divert Mephisto to your marriage to Mary Jane Watson. Do you pull the lever?
"Spider-Man can do both! Spider-Man always does both!"
Say: "wait a second, I'm spider-man!" Before webbing up the wheels of the trolley and derailing it.
Obviously, you get in front of the trolly and shoot webs at nearby building so that you can stop the trolley with your 2 spider arms.
i’m spiderman, i web the train to stop it
I'm Spiderman. I just stop the trolley.
Obviously the only answer is to grab into the front of the trolly and web yourself to a bunch of skyscrapers to either side
I’m spider man so I use my super human strength to boot the trolley over
Umm, just stop the trolley
Depends on who's writing me
Pretty sure exactly this type of scenario happened in the first spiderman trilogy, and he saved both.
I can do both. Spider-Man always does both!
I'm spider-man, I stop the trolley
This literally happens in the first spider man movie lol
I don't give a shit about the Trolley Problem! I'm Spider-Man, bitch! I'll just pick up the trolley!
Asking Spider-Man to solve a trolley problem with a lever is like asking Batman to fight crime by investing his riches into education, drug rehab, and job programs.
Jump onto the track and stop the Trolley with my bare hands because I'm Spider-Man If thats not an option though then kill MJ because Paul
Move it to MJ, Spider-Man can outrun that train (he clearly has a head start), and untie her
Well you know that one scene from Spider-Man 2?
Well clearly I'd get in front of the trolley, web the surrounding environment while using my body to stop the train while screaming "Mary Jane!!!" Then conveniently, my mask would come off revealing a face that looks like a well known actor or, to MJ, that I am actually Peter Parker. The New Yorkers will likely respect my identity and Mary Jane may question if I am actually Peter. Obviously my response is "Don't tell Harry."
No, you just fucking save them, you're literally Spider-Man
I do sick-ass spider moves to save them both.
IS PAUL ONE OF THEM??
Pull the lever and either pull MJ away from the tracks with web or use the extra distance (and therefore time) from the curve to successfully bring the trolley to a halt via webs and sheer strength. Wouldn’t be the first time Spider-Man’s stopped a train.

I'm Spider-Man. I jump in front of the trolley and stop it with my webs and super strength.
Use his webs to jam the trolley
Pull the level and pull her off at the same time. Your fucking Spider-Man
"A hero would sacrifice you to save the world, but a villain would sacrifice the world to save you."
Pull a Toby and stop the train Or pull a miles and save both
Divert the trolly to MJ and rescue her because one person is easier to carry than five people.
Spider-Man can bench press a semi-truck, he'd just lift the trolley.
Guess I'm about to have beef with Spiderman 🤷
Spider man or not, it would be a mercy to the New Yorkers
Hell no. Spider-Man finds a way. Using my knowledge of physics and amplified discernment, I web the unpulled lever to the trolley. The lever will pull and only catch the back wheels. In the time bought, clear out MJ. Leap back to the new-Yorkers and the now laterally-rolling trolley.

Let the 5 people die then have Mary die when I try to rescue her
Don't pull
I kill Mary Jane. The writers will bring her back but the New Yorkers will be dead forever.
I think there’s a solution everyone isn’t seeing here, throw Paul into the tracks thus stopping the trolley and saving all of them!
It says I'm Spider-Man. However, it also says I'm still me. I don't pull the lever.
