Spyder was a proposed villain for The Foot Walks Again and TMNT: The Next Mutation.[1]
Conceptual Development[]
The 1995 film script by Christian Ford and Roger Soffer featured a new villain referred to as "Spyder," who wages a blood-feud against Kirby, Sliver, and their universe's counterparts of the Ninja Turtles. He allies himself with several technograft henchmen: Bob, TonMan, and Crunch. Also assisting him is his assassin and possible lover "Miss D", who is revealed to be April O'Neil's evil counterpart from that dimension who had previously betrayed her turtle friends. Together, they defeated and killed Sliver and the mutant turtles of their universe, with the exception of Kirby. Spyder and his partners follow Kirby to earth and orders Miss D to hunt down the mutant turtle, which brings her into conflict with the Ninja Turtles, Splinter, and April.
Spyder plans to unleash a swarm of millions of nanobots onto the planet. He breaks into a government inventory storehouse to acquire the tech he needs and sets up base in a NY power sub-station, where the technografts charge their exo-suits at 30k volts. After that, he goes to a top-secret government lab at Penn Station, beneath Madison Square Garden. Spyder meets with an ex-KGB monster named Yuri hooked up to an iron lung. He coerces Yuri to give up a rom chip to program the nanobots. The Cyber version of Spyder traps Donatello into a computer hack and a cyber battle ensues. All electro-mechanical items in the Turtles' new lair get hacked and the turtles get jolted into morph loops until April breaks the trap thanks to her rubber-soled shoes. Don and Kirby use a Game Boy to reverse engineer it. Kirby instructs the turtles that mastery over their new morph mutations is the key to beating Spyder. Together with Kirby, April, and Splinter, the Turtles use their new powers to defeat Spyder and thwart his plans.[2]
