Web Weaver's Powers and Abilities

Webweaver in "The Boys" is akin to their version of Spider-Man, appearing briefly in Season 4's sixth episode, "Dirty Business." His main ability involves shooting webs from a spinneret located near his backside, similar to Spider-Man's web-slinging. However, unlike Spider-Man's neat web shooters, Webweaver's webs are more organic and messy, reminiscent of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man from the Sam Raimi films.

In the episode, Mother's Milk (MM) deals with Webweaver, needing his cooperation. Webweaver's powers seem to be tied to his natural abilities, but they also cause him problems, as seen in his web-covered apartment. To control his powers, he relies on drugs administered through his rectum, a vulnerable spot for Supes, showing a weakness similar to what was exploited in Season 1. This connection between his powers and vulnerabilities adds complexity to his character, even in his brief appearance.
