**Yuki Kawaguchi** is the operator/pilot of the **Spider-Bot**/ **SP//dr** mech suit, a mech that was originally designed as a Spider-Slayer robot, designed to kill Spider-Man, which she repurposed to use for the greater good, following in the footsteps of her father. A very rare middle-schooler prodigy, Yuki is also affiliated with SHIELD's undergrad program and Japan's central intelligence agencies.

Yuki Kawaguchi's father, Ryo, worked in Empire International, a defense/technology/weapons corporation, where he was assigned in a secret project to create the Spider-Slayer mech designed to kill Spider-Man, financed by the Kingpin and other crime families, to get rid of the webhead who was proving to be a huge obstacle for their illegal businesses and affiliations. They used American government officials, corrupt in nature, to license for the production of such Spider-Slayers from Empire's Japanese headquarters.

However, Ryo soon realized that these mechs they were creating were going to be used for malicious intentions. Ryo tried to steal these Spider-Slayer (codename SP//dr) mech techs, was successful in doing so, and stole the alpha mech for himself to safeguard, as one of it's original pilots and designers, he hid the last mech within his secret laboratory. He tried to deliver the rest of the mechs to SHIELD, however, he was soon labelled as a fugitive/terrorist by corrupt government officials of Japan acting in behalf of the corporation and the crime families, and put on the run, and soon assassinated by private mercenaries for hire from Sable International, who were led to believe he was indeed a menace due to his status as an active terrorist, framed of committing multiple crimes. However, before his death, he was able to activate the self-destruct sequences on the mechs he was about to deliver to SHIELD. Unfortunately, Empire International was still able to salvage those and remodel them to create new bots from scratch, although it did completely slow down their production process.

Ryo's daughter, Yuki, a child prodigy, a girl with the highest IQ in all of Japan and in the Top 200 of the world, who could understand her father's works from a very early age, and even go on as far as to try and make modifications to his designs, was contemplating running away from home, after her father died, her classmates started to bully her and call her a 'terrorist's daughter.' She soon unearthed her father's secret laboratory underground, and found the alpha SP//dr mech, the most deadly mech. It could only be activated by her, literally digitally and genetically encoded with her fingerprints/DNA. She found a video recording of her father who explained his situation to her. He told her to avenge him in case he wasn't able to finish what he started and destroy the last of the mechs, trusting her to be strong enough to fulfill his botched legacy. A determined Yuki decided to follow her father's footsteps and trained herself to use the SP//dr /Spider-Bot mech suit to find the missing mechs, hunting down the Spider-Slayers one by one, shutting down Empire International's mech department.

SHIELD soon found Yuki and tried to force her to hand over the Spider-Bot since she was just a middle-schooler, with beyond-military grade weapons of mass destruction, constantly endangering her and other's lives. Yuki, however, had developed a special bond with the SP//dr Bot, which was run by it's AI (similar to Baymax from *Big Hero Six*) SHIELD soon took the Bot from her, however, they were unable to dissect or open it or put it under their control, as it's AI, named SP//dr (hence it's label name), only responded to Yuki and wanted to return to her. Fury soon personally visited Yuki and realized that the girl only wanted to do good with the bot, and thus enlisted her as a future agent of SHIELD, putting her in the Public Security Intelligence Agency & Defense Intelligence Headquarters of Japan as a secret agent; the first mech pilot/mech agent in the world, while she was transferred to a private institution, specifically designed for future SHIELD agents, visionaries, technologists and innovators.

Yuki later teams up with the Web Warriors from across the planet and is an instrumental character in the *Spider-Verse*event. She even later had to flee to America for awhile while she was deemed a public threat in Japan, where she lived under the disguise of the name "Peni Parker," under the protection of Peter Parker who had to pretend to be her father and keep her safe from dangerous people after her.

## Trivia

* In the comics, the SP//dr mech belongs to Peni Parker, an alternate universe version of Peter Parker that was also a middle-school Japanese girl operating the mech tech. However, in DuttPanda's version, she is a middle-schooler named Yuki Kawaguchi, existing in the same universe as Peter Parker rather than being his alt-universe counterpart.
	+ To pay tribute to the original 'Peni Parker' character, she was even called Peni Parker for awhile in the comics as a name of disguise, as homage.
