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
Web Spider debuted in Mega Man X4 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He serves as the boss of the Jungle stage. The game's Japanese manual states he is a former Maverick Hunter who joined Repliforce before the coup d'état, and now defends a laser cannon hidden deep within the forest.[2]
Web Spider's attack pattern is quite predictable, but his electric webs and spider drones must not be underestimated. 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; unfortunately, Zero's Shippuuga has no way of hitting him, making Kuuenzan or Ryuenjin the better options. A boss attack rematch with Web Spider later occurs in Final Weapon 3.
