Web Spider, known as Web Spidus (ウェブ・スパイダス) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X4. He is an electricity-themed Reploid based on a spider, who attacks with lightning webs and mini spider drones. He is a member of Repliforce who participates in their coup d'état.

In the Games

Mega Man X4

Sprite from Mega Man X4.

Web Spider debuts in Mega Man X4 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a cunning member of Repliforce who serves as the boss of Jungle. His pattern is basic and predictable, but he can catch the player in his clutches. Defeating Web Spider grants Lightning Web to X and Raijingeki to Zero. His weakness is the Twin Slasher and Shippuga from Slash Beast, which can sever his thread and knock him down; however, Zero's Shippuga has no way of hitting him, making Kuuenzan or Ryuenjin better options. A boss attack rematch with Web Spider later occurs in Final Weapon 3.
