George Stacy (Earth-65)

- ****George Stacy****[src]

**George Stacy**, formerly known as **Captain Stacy**, is the former captain of the 19th Precinct of the Police Department of New York and the father of Gwen Stacy. After the emergence of the vigilante known as Spider-Woman, George would see the vigilante as more of a threat than a hero believing that she was interfering with his job. After the death of her daughter's best friend, Peter Parker, he drew himself and the PDNY into conflict with the masked vigilante and vowed to bring her to justice.

Upon realizing that the vigilante he had been pursuing for years was his very own daughter, George had a crisis on what to do and ended up attempting to arrest his own daughter, causing her to abandon him for Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Society. When his daughter was sent home, George attempted to reach out to her which finally resulted in Gwen pouring her heart out to her father about all her problems and insecurities. Seeing the pain he had caused his daughter by being captain, he'd resign from his post and would reconcile with her, giving her the watch that had been given to him by Hobie so Gwen could go and rescue Miles Morales.

## Biography

### Early Life

At one point, George Stacy married the love of his life Helen Stacy. The couple would have a daughter named Gwen in the Chelsea borough of New York City. Unfortunately for the family, Helen would pass away sometime early in Gwen's childhood causing George to have to raise his daughter himself. George would raise Gwen to uphold the values of justice growing up but the fact he had a busy career and Helen's death would result in Gwen often times not having any parental figures around. He would often have the Parker family who were their neighbors join them for dinner as he was close with the family, the youngest of the family Peter would become friends with Gwen.

George enrolled his daughter at Visions Academy and would support her in the various passions she indulged in such as ballet, gymnastics and her band *The Mary Janes*. Unbeknownst to him, his daughter would be bitten by a radioactive spider and become the vigilante known as Spider-Woman. George would get to know the vigilante as he would often come in contact with her, even being saved by her on one occasion from a gunshot.

Although he was saved by the vigilante, his critical opinion on her would not change. On the night of his daughter's homecoming dance, George would receive a call to go to the dance as something horrible had happened. Upon arriving, George would find Spider-Woman holding a dead body to which Spider-Woman would quickly swing away. George would realize this was the body of his daughter's best friend Peter, resulting in George's view on Spider-Woman to sour from dislike to pure hatred for what appeared to be a full on murder of his daughter's best friend.

George would conduct a manhunt that would last for at least 2 years on Spider-Woman but would not be successful. His relationship with his daughter would become more distant as she would isolate herself from everyone else after Peter's death. He'd also have arguments about the Spider-Woman case with her as Gwen appeared to not care about catching Spider-Woman as it would never bring Peter back.
