## History

### Early Years

Captain John Stacy was once a prominent member of the New York City Police Department, who lived in the Queens borough of New York City, New York along with his wife, Helen, and daughter, Gwen.

Captain Stacy was one of the police detectives brought in to investigate and track down a mysterious serial killer. His brother Arthur Stacy had a theory about superhumans being created and born, which would soon take over society as they knew it. John Stacy shrugged off the idea as a fantasy, much to his later regret.

Captain Stacy was called to the Oscorp site when a police officer was attacked by a creature lurking around the grounds. The Captain on the CEO’s Norman Osborn request as refused anyone else from the department to visit. Captain Stacy requested from Osborn that new head of security escort his own brother Arthur Stacy.

Captain Stacy and his brother entered the building with an armed platoon of police officers looking for the mysterious assailant. They were brutally attacked by a shadowy goblin like creature with sharp claws. The mysterious creature escaped but Captain Stacy discovered a bunch of red fluid on the floor. Arthur stays on site when his brother leaves and on his rounds he found an Oscorp employee badge on the floor belonging to Dr. Nels van Adder.

Arthur Stacy tried to find a connection between Dr. van Adder and the creature so he confronted Norman Osborn about it. Norman Osborn told him that Dr. van Adder was a disgruntled employee and was fired many months ago. This did not stop Arthur Stacy's questioning as it did not explain why Dr. van Adder’s badge was found lying on the floor. Norman Osborn left to get away from his meddling employee.

Osborn sat in a laboratory, frustrated that he couldn't locate the missing notes from his former partner, Dr. Mendel Stromm. Osborn was the interrupted by a red goblin-like beast, who was revealed to be a mutated Dr. van Adder. The mutated researcher confronted Osborn, and tried to explain what happened, and how he used himself a guinea pig he can never return home to his beloved wife. The Proto-Goblin reveals that he killed the two men by mistake and regretted his action blaming on the transformation.

Arthur tried to do his own research into the scientist and noticed that there was never any termination papers filed for a Dr. Nels Van Adder. Captain Stacy and his brother traveled to Oscorp to confront Norman Osborn, but they found the Proto-Goblin about to attack him. The two brothers tried to stop the creature, but bullets did not seem to have an effect on his tough hide. Arthur finally tried to knock the Proto-Goblin through a window where he fell into a nearby river. It was during the fight that George damaged his leg.

While his leg was being treated, Norman Osborn explained to the brothers that Dr. Van Adder was a former research assistant of Dr. Mendel Stromm who he was no longer in business with. Norman Osborn explained how Dr. van Adder was experimenting with some biotechnology developed by Dr. Stromm and himself, and then used this to mutate himself.
