Katzenberg, Nicholas

Nick is an unscrupulous photographer with hardly any sense of ethics or honor. He is obsessed with Mary Jane Watson-Parker and her modeling occupation. There is very little means he will not stoop to get what he wants.
== History ==
When Nicholas first showed up, he proved Spider-Man was a thief, making him a Daily Bugle staff member and JJJ's new pet photographer. Actually, he didn't work a lot with JJJ in the Bugle, because shortly after he exchanged the pictures of Spider-Man stealing from millionaire Winston Walker's house, JJJ was kidnapped by the Chameleon who started to impersonate him. The Chameleon then started to favor Nick because his pics showed the unheroic Spidey, instead of Peter's "friendly-neighborhood" Spidey.
And so it was that he was there taking pictures when Joe "Robbie" Robertson was convicted, when Spidey webbed "JJJ" to the roof and threatened him, and when the Bugle was destroyed by Graviton. Of course, after the Lobo gang wars, the Bugle was bought by Thomas Fireheart who ran a pro-Spidey campaign, and Nick's pictures were selected less. Everybody hated him, except for Cynthia Bernhammer, Robbie's attorney, who had an affair with him while he moved from the Bugle to JJJ's new magazine.
When he took a picture of an unmasked Peter Parker as Spider-Man from the Parker's apartment skylight, he tried to blackmail Peter and Mary Jane. Actually, he would have settled for a night with Mary Jane, a suggestion that earned him a punch in the face from Mrs. Parker. MJ must have a mean left cross, as she knocked him out cold. His revealing of the pictures to JJJ and Robbie left Peter and Robbie's relationship strained for quite a while, even though Robertson knew those were only for publicity.
When he got a shot of a criminal meeting, the Bugle published the pictures with Peter's name. Lucky for Peter, since the mob persecuted Parker for it. Unlucky for Katzenberg, they corrected the mistake.
Nick was visited by Dracula, the King of the Undead, and has since been hired to photograph women at his leisure.
