===="Dirty Business"====
Webweaver makes his first official appearance in this episode. To infiltrate Tek Knight's manor, Mother's Milk drugs Webweaver with a spiked heroin enema and steals his suit, so Hughie Campbell can sneak in and plant bugs to find out Homelander's plan. However, once Hughie arrives in disguise, it is soon revealed that Webweaver was not there for the Federalist Society party and instead is "auditioning" to be Tek-Knights new sidekick, through a night of sadomasochism in the Tek Cave.
==== "The Insider" ====
Webweaver is interrogated by Homelander after Firecracker tells him that Webweaver is the leak. Webweaver tells Homelander that he gave information to Billy Butcher. Firecracker tells him that his suit was used by Hughie Campbell to enter Tek Knight's party. Homelander asks him how he knew about his meeting with Victoria Neuman. Webweaver profusely apologizes and tells Homelander that he will "make him proud". Homelander is angered by his betrayal and grabs Webweaver by the neck. Webweaver tells him that he isn't the leak, but Homelander dismisses this and rips him apart, killing him.
== Personality ==
Webweaver's addiction to heroin enemas and his uncontrollable web-spraying when anxious highlight his vulnerability and anxiety. His reliance on drugs and the physical manifestation of his nervousness emphasize his fragile mental state. Webweaver sought pleasure in various forms, including drug use and kinky fetishes. His hedonistic lifestyle is marked by his willingness to engage in degradation and humiliation, though he has boundaries concerning his spinneret.
Despite his chaotic life, Webweaver often appears calm and laid-back, exuding a stoner vibe. This demeanor starkly contrasts with his underlying struggles and addiction. Beneath his relaxed hedonistic exterior, Webweaver is deeply miserable, possibly due to broken dreams and a sense of unfulfilled potential. His addiction and the compromises he makes hint at a character grappling with profound internal conflicts.
Webweaver's actions reveal a conflicted sense of loyalty. Despite his fall from grace from Vought, Webweaver shows a desire for redemption. His role as a confidential informant for The Boys suggests a wish to do something meaningful and make amends for his past actions. He provides valuable information to The Boys, indicating a sense of duty or guilt, but he is ultimately betrayed and killed, underscoring the precariousness of his position.

==Trivia==
*Webweaver is a parody of Marvel's .
**Coincidentally, Webweaver shares his name with Marvel's Web-Weaver, the first gay Spider-Man.
**His safeword is "Zendaya", which is a blatant reference to real-life actor , who portrayed in the . She is also the girlfriend of , the actor of MCU's .
**Interestingly, Jack Quaid voiced Peter Parker of Gwen Stacy's universe in .
*Webweaver has a few similarities with "The Brown Widow", another parody of Spider-Man. The Brown Widow (voiced by Nathan Fillion) appeared in the cartoon "Venture Bros" in four episodes. They are both fairly comedic takes on the wall-crawler who don't seem to take their crime-fighting too seriously.
**Ironically, while both "Webweaver" and "The Brown Widow" produce organic webbing (unlike most incarnations of Spider-Man), they also produce it from spinnerets in their lower back. Low enough that both had experiences where one could mistake it for an anus! Brown Widow accidentally launched webbing while wearing pants, resulting in someone accusing him of crapping himself, and when Webweaver asked M.M. to give him his drug enema, M.M. accidentally jammed the device into his spinneret, causing him pain.
