Background[]
Season 2[]
In "Secrets of the Spider's Web", Chris and Martin activated Orb-weaver Power to free the spiders from Donita and Dabio's vacuum packs. After freeing all the spiders, the bros created a giant web to trap Donita and Dabio, but were soon frightened by Donita's jet which they thought was a bird. The Kratt brothers soon ran out of spider silk and Donita sucked up all the spiders. Later after resupplying with stronger silk, Martin attached a string of web to Donita's jet to keep her from getting away, but this plan failed when she cut the web using a giant pair of scissors. Chris went ahead and made a huge web that successfully caught the plane, in which the brothers went inside to free the spiders from Donita's Pose Beam.
Season 6[]
In "Amazin' Amazon Adventure", Chris activated Orb-weaver Power to help free the captured creatures, web up some mannequins so Martin could destroy them, hold back Paisley's giant paving machine, and web up all the villains.
Season 7[]
In "Activate Kid Power" Martin activated Orb-weaver Power out of Hermit Crab Power to use his web spinnerets to attach to Chris (who was in Peregrine Falcon Power) whilst en route to Australia on a rescue mission.

Trivia[]
- This is the first spider Creature Power Suit.
- In "Secrets of the Spider's Web" the suit's spinnerets are located above the thorax. In future appearances, they are located on the front legs (the tips of the legs can exchange for these) similar to Spider-Man's web-shooters. In real spiders, the spinnerets are located on the underside of the abdomen.
