Syntax was a scientist that worked for the Spider Queen. During New Year's, the Spider Queen used one of her Spider-Bots on Syntax to test out the effects of her venom, causing Syntax to transform into a Spider Demon. Syntax was a Spider Demon with scruffy and swept hair and a pencil mustache. Defined by his high level of knowledge and his behavior towards both his allies and enemies, Syntax was shown to have only regards for himself and his cohorts' motives. He can be touchy when tired.
