Web Spidus, also known as Web Spider, is a minor antagonist from Mega Man X4, where he appears as a boss. He is a spider-based Repliroid. Web wields the Lightning Web for his weapon. This allows him or anyone who copies his weapon (in this case X) to launch electrified webs at enemies. Split Mushroom is weak to this weapon. Web is weak to the Twin Slasher, which can cut the web that he hangs from, and if that happens, Web will concuss his head on the floor, leading to additional damage.
Character Description[]
Personality[]
Web Spider is more respectful of soldiers than he is to superiors. He believes that he, X, and Zero are doomed to serve when they in fact have free will. He also shows loyalty to Repliforce and shows resentment over being falsely labeled a Maverick by the Hunters as a result of the destruction of Sky Lagoon. However, he still respects Zero, who is his real boss as from his quote "Ah, Zero. I've been expecting you."
Appearance[]
Web Spidus resembles an anthropomorphic spider. His bottom two limbs have been transferred to his bulbous, green abdomen. One of his eyes has a scope-like lens, and on his head is a blue French beret.
Biography[]
Web Spider was a member of the Maverick Hunters' 0th Special Unit under Zero's command, but he left and joined Repliforce, where he led a guerrilla unit. When the Repliforce starts their coup for independence, Spider is tasked to keep guard over a cannon deep within a jungle occupied by the group. He is eventually confronted by X and Zero which Web Spider shows his disgust over the Maverick Hunter's alleged betrayal and fights them but ends up destroyed, leading to his death.
Battle[]
Web Spider's strategy consists of hiding in the top of the screen, descending only to shot a semi-homing electric web. When on half health, he will create a large web and walk on it, eventually releasing small walking drones and shooting the usual electric webs. His weakness is the Twin Slasher, which can cut his web, making him crash into the ground and bash his face for more damage.
Trivia[]
- Web Spider is similar to the Bospider from the original game in terms of design, with one of his attacks being similar as well. However, while Bospider keeps his mouth shut, Web speaks.
- A glitch can happen that makes Web Spider invincible for the rest of the fight if you hit him with a charged Twin Slasher. This renders his fight hopeless for the player.
- Web Spider is the only Repliroid to have a spider-like design, even though he is one of many Repliroids to be based on an arthropod.
