While I never read the whole Spider-Verse crossover, I know that the SP//dr suit was the primary subject (along with its pilot, Peni Parker) of issue #5 of Edge of Spider-Verse. Here's some of the Spider-Verse issues she appeared in. No clue if that's a complete list, though.

I'm actually hoping that this rumor pans out, because the SP//dr story was probably my favorite from the Edge of Spider-Verse series, and made more of an impression on me than the much-hyped Spider-Gwen debut (which wasn't bad, but it just felt... lackluster when compared to the build-up). Having a figure of the SP//dr suit would be amazing, especially if one of the standard figures turns out to be Peni Parker, either in her civilian clothes or her pilot suit (not holding my breath, but a guy can dream).

The Spider-Variants thing is such a hard concept to reconcile, because while I love alternate universe stories, at the same time I don't think the shelves need so many Spiders. And yet, even though there's ones I don't care for (Spider-UK), there's also ones that are either really cool ideas (SP//dr, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man India) or just goofy enough to be appealing (Spider-Punk, who is probably actually gonna end up in our collection because my wife loves his ridiculous aesthetic). But at the end of it all, I know every figure/character has a fan, and as long as the product is good, I'm for it.
