History

A New York city police officer who thinks that Spider-Man is a criminal. He has over the years read and enjoyed J Jonah Jameson's Daily Bugle editorials against Spider-Man.[1]

He was first seen when he and his partner Al O'Neill chased Spider-Man who was chasing Overdrive. Then Gonzales together with his Partner were briefly seen sitiing in their patrol car when Spider-Man showed up in Amazing Spider-Man # 548.
They were next shown returning some donation money to Martin Li's soup kitchen where May Parker does volunteer work. They then came across the mutated homeless man named Freak. After a blizzard Gonzales answered the door to Spider-Man who brought to the precinct a Dr Rabin and some Mayan deity worshippers. Unfortunately Dr Rabin turned out wanting god like powers and a sacrifice in Carlie Cooper who was also at the precinct with Gonzales and also there was his partner O'Neill. It was revealed in #556, that he needed a roomate and Carlie Cooper suggested that he could take on her friend Peter Parker.
After the blizzard had passed he and O'Neill turned up at a park where there was a disturbance from someone practicing Tai Chi who happened to be J Jonah Jameson. There Gonzales said he knew Jameson and that he was looking forward to his new roomate Peter Parker. When Parker moved in everything was all right until Gonzales found out that he had been fired from the DB.This made Gonzales angry but he was about to go to a baseball game with his father David.While on the way to the game, he spotted Spider-Man chasing Overdrive and called in for a back up to help, which ruined his day out. Thinking about his lousy luck , he was suspended from the police force when his off-duty weapon was used in the killing of a drug dealer, then was involved in a hit and run. The hit and run was probably made as a test to his agility when a new female villain thought Gonzales must be Spider-Man. Later that evening he went to Zeck's Billiards and bar in Amsterdam Avenue with Harry Osborn and Peter Parker. However after leaving the bar, the mysterious villain captured Gonzales, forcing him to put on a Spider-Man costume, thinking he was Spider-Man.

Later a bunch of Spider-Tracers were found underneath Gonzales' bed by Cooper when she was tracking down their signal and Gonzales admitted that he and several other officers including his partner were involved in the Spider-Tracer killings by planting Spider-Tracers on deceased victims to frame Spider-Man as a killer and turn the public against him so they could put an end to Spider-Man's vigilante activities.

However, because of Cooper's discovery, the two were framed to by the leader of the conspiracy Sergeant Quentin Palone to prevent the conspiracy from being exposed and Gonzales was put in prison. Luckily Spider-Man, who also is also imprisoned at the time saved Gonzales life from the other convicts who tried to kill him and he was able to help him escape. After sneaking back to the police station, Gonzales confronts and arrests Palone before he could completely destroy the evidence. His attorney sister Michelle Gonzales was later able to secure a plea bargin for him in court where he would identify the other officers involved with the conspiracy for a reduced sentence of six months in prison as well as being dismissed from the NYPD.
