On Earth-616, George was one of the few police officers who saw the good Spider-Man was doing around New York City and took a liking to Gwen's boyfriend Peter Parker. 
Unfortunately George was killed in a two-way battle between Spider-Man and his foe, Doctor Octopus. His death deeply affected both Gwen and Peter. She blamed Spider-Man for the accident and went to live with her uncle in England. Meanwhile, Peter ultimately blamed himself for the incident and began to distance himself from Gwen.
