Mecha-Spiders

A mad scientist releases a legion of mecha-spiders after making a hit in the Christmas shopping-season, cementing himself as an evil devil.

A sci-fi horror-comics tale inspired loosely by Arachnophobia. Enjoy!

A mad scientist named Wily decided to design a 'legion' of robotic spider-toys which became very popular for Christmastime shopping in Minnesota, Michigan, and Massachusetts, the 3 Big Ms in US states. This was because Wily marketed these 'mecha-spiders' as purely an 'mmm' experience, referring to how intellectually tasty they felt (since these toys had the ability to carry little food-plates on their backs, by remote-control, for picnics). The mecha-spiders became so popular that they started outselling Cabbage Patch Kids that Christmas shopping-season. That's when Wily got a little too ambitious, given all his commercial successes in North America (United States).

Wily decided to 'enhance' his designed/invented 'mecha-spiders' by adding little explosive devices strapped on their bellies and released them as a 'legion' of hell in already-troubled Northern Ireland (United Kingdom), where blood-diamond pirate-smuggling in the streets were luring rogue members of the IRA/UVF into forms of modern frustrating urban crime (Belfast). Suddenly, the modern UK had become a hellmouth of Wily's designed/invented 'mecha-spider' release, and reporters called this the Bedlam of Belfast, which was way worse than Bloody Sunday, folks. However, this isn't a tale for toddlers!

WILY: My mecha-spiders will now be unleashed onto the Customs House in Dublin (Catholic Ireland).

Who'd stop such madness in modern times? The mecha-spiders of the evil 'Dr. Wily' had become a synonym for dead-pool hellmouths. The reporters wondered if this was a sign of the inventive 'face' of new era post-9/11 era anti-globalism terrorism. Furthermore, these Wily 'mecha-spiders' were elusive and no one knew it was 'Dr. Wily' who'd been responsible for their inventions. They'd managed to destroy much! US President Biden offered words-of-comfort by adding, "We'll deploy special rayon-suited anti-bomb agents in the UK/Ireland to 'catch' these 'insecticons' of hell and hopefully avoid becoming monsters/fumers themselves!" Perhaps what the world needed was a 'true' hero like...Spider-Man.
