Captain Margarita Ruiz

Captain Margarita Ruiz is a no-nonsense law enforcement authority figure operating in Marvel's street-level New York, crossing paths with Spider-Girl, Spider-Man, and the Parker family in her role as a police captain.

A no-nonsense authority figure stepping into Marvel's Modern Age, Captain Margarita Ruiz made her debut in the pages of Web of Spider-Man #1 in 2009, brought to life by the celebrated creative team of Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz. Her world is a busy one — she shares the page with the likes of Spider-Girl, Spider-Man, Black Tarantula, and the Parker family themselves, placing her squarely at the heart of some of Marvel's most beloved street-level storytelling. With only a handful of appearances concentrated in that 2009–2010 window, she's a compact but intriguing piece of Marvel history for collectors who love digging into the edges of the Spider-corner of the universe.
