Simply replace it with knowledge of other obscure spiders' men.

Like Toei Spider-Man who was a regular motorcyclist who got a special armband from an alien from planet Spider that lets him transform into "The emissary of hell, Spider-Man". He then uses his newfound powers to stop The Iron Cross Army from blowing up the earth with the help of his giant robot Leopardon.

Darth Maul was a spider for a while.

Wow, not only is that true, but he also had a giant robot that he used to fight monsters that was eventually used in Super Sentai!

I didn't see the bit about the robot in your comic initially, but it's really cool that this one predates the OG power rangers

Nope. Those little spiders are now crawling around in your brain, and every once in awhile, out of nowhere, they'll kick one of your neurons to remind you of Spidersman, whether you like it or not.
