Phil Lord told Entertainment Weekly that he liked the best villains when they reflected the journeys of the hero. He would like to be seen as legit. He has a silly costume and is not seen as the top tier of Spider-Man foes, but he wants to be taken seriously.
The Spot was first introduced in the comics at the end of 1984 as a result of a lab accident that allowed him to transfer himself and parts of himself. In Across the Spider-Verse Spot, he's going to get a bit of a modification to his powers, which will make him a threat to everyone in the multiverse.
