After watching Across the Spiderverse I ofcourse had to draw something about it with my own Spider-Sona William Wan aka The Outstanding Spyder-Man. I liked to imagine that his role within the Spider-Society would be the same as Margo Kess (Spider-Byte), Tech Support and running the computers at their HQ, maybe the two cover different shifts? I can also imagine his AI buddy Spyder-Byte interacting with Miguel's AI Lyla, though haven't decided if they would get along or bicker like kids. But the most obvious thing I wanted to show is Spyder-Man introducing Spider-Byte to Spyder-Byte since they have similar names.

Funny story actually, when I watched the first Spiderverse movie and came up with the characters Spyder-Man and Spyder-Byte, I was behind in reading the Marvel comics and while I was aware of the Spiderverse story line I hadn't read it yet, and this also goes for the Secret Wars event that happens later that had an alternate Spidey named "Spyder-Man", so I swear I didn't steal the name when I came up with it. Same goes for Spyder-Byte and the concept of a Cyber World themed Spidey using hardlight holograms, I was unaware of the Spider-Geddon event that introduced Margo.

So I would appreciate it if people not accuse me of stealing the idea, it was just a funny coincidence that me and the Marvel writers had a similar idea for an Alternate Spider-Man concept.
