Fictional character biography

Vin Gonzales is an NYPD officer and the roommate of Peter Parker. He does not seem to trust Spider-Man and is unaware that Peter is Spider-Man. [1] His anger towards Spider-Man increases when Kraven the Hunter's daughter Ana Kravinoff mistakes him for Spider-Man, which leads to him being suspended from his job. After he is captured by Ana, Vin is saved by the real Spider-Man, who denies being Peter. [2]

Later, Carlie Cooper finds several Spider-tracers in the vicinity of Peter and Vin's apartment. When she investigates, she finds a bag of spider-tracers under Vin's bed. Vin returns to get his key when Carlie reveals the bag and asks for explanation. [3] Vin admits to Carlie that he and Al were involved in a secret conspiracy with other policemen to turn public opinion against Spider-Man in a smear campaign by planting tracers on dead bodies. [4] Vin is captured and taken to Ryker's Island, but is rescued by Spider-Man. [5] His sister, Michele Gonzales, who is an attorney, works out a plea deal for him, giving him six months in prison and a removal from the NYPD in exchange for the names of all the police involved.
