Description
A fourth generation reploid based from the blueprints of Mega Man X, Spider was infected by the virus and has turned against everyone, hijacking the forest laser for his own purposes. Sigma has no control over him, and has put a bounty on his head, to which Vile will take up the hit..Related content

I've always wondered if Web Spider was inspired by Bospider (the boss of Sigma Fortress 1) from the original Mega Man X. They do have a similar attack that involves throwing mini robot spiders to attack.

Yeah I've often thought myself. I reckon he was, y'know!

A little, actually. Except Web Spider needs a little beret hat, which I forgot!

I always liked Web Spider, and X4 has been my favorite X game since its release. I felt silly though that I only recently realized that he's wearing a beret in-game and in his concept art. I thought it made him slightly silly looking, but I still like him a lot, and quote his "shuka shuka shuka shuka shuka!" sound more than I should admit to.
That being said, I hate fighting him, especially given that I'm an X player (I respect Zero and like him a lot, but I felt the games were called "Mega Man X" for a reason, lol) and I always had difficulty in boss battles - primarily his - when using them Fourth Armor boots.

...oh. My. GOD. I had NEVER noticed that!! I feel terribly under-learned! I feel like I know nothing! Wow, well spotted! I should do another version with his hat on!
I really enjoyed his battle, especially with X. Zero was fun to play, but like you, I'm loyal to the main man, Mega. I think Spider and Walrus are my favourites from X4, with Dragoon annoying me slightly. But overall, all the mavericks were rather enjoyable. I think the WORST maverick in X history was Splash Warfly............eurgh. (But that game suffered dearly, anyway).

I think he looks better without the beret, not that I have anything against it.

I never noticed the beret before, but I'm tempted to do a version of him with it, I kinda like it now I notice it.

Haha I know! I slapped myself in the face when I first noticed the beret!
And what's worse, is that he's not the only Maverick in that game to wear one: Storm Owl (I noticed his since the beginning, though) and, surprisingly to me, Jet Stingray also wear one. Frost Walrus MIGHT be wearing SOME sort of hat but I still can't decipher it. Slash Beast doesn't wear a hat, but does have an eyepatch over his (canonically) left eye.
My favorites were Frost Walrus and - surprisingly - Split Mushroom, who is a favorite simply because I really like his design (my other top favorite design pick is Earthrock Trilobyte, so I seem to have a thing for the squat dudes lol). In terms of fighting against though, my favorite two to fight Walrus and Stingray. I only like fighting Dragoon because I always bring the Ride Armor to punish him, haha.
I really liked Splash Warfly's design, but his battle was obnoxious; but then again, everything about X7 was pretty obnoxious, honestly.
Now that you mention it, actually there were three bosses I didn't know the origins of for some time. The one I forgot was actually Splash Warfly -- because of his name and incredible skinniness, I assumed he was a Mayfly, and his water theme being a reference to a Mayfly's juvenile life and its sudden reaching of adulthood (he's actually a flying fish). The other one is everyone's major confusion -- Boomer Kuwanger. I was confused for ages, and then all the info about him on the net started saying he was a cockroach; I actually made my Megaman Tempo version of him, Boomboom Kuwanger, on the idea that a cockroach is hard to kill (thereby making his return making a whole lick of sense). Turns out, he's actually a stag beetle.
In other but still related news, I am all up for you doing a new version of Spider...but then again, I'm a little partial to the idea myself.
