Gerald Stone

A minor but memorable face in Marvel's street-level New York, Gerald Stone made his debut in The Amazing Spider-Man #332 in 1990 — right in the thick of the Copper Age, when that title was firing on all cylinders. Created by the celebrated team of David Michelinie and Erik Larsen, he's the kind of supporting character who orbits the world of Spider-Man and Peter Parker, sharing pages with some genuinely heavy hitters. With appearances stretching surprisingly into 2016 and a cameo in Spider-Man / Deadpool, Gerald Stone is a quiet testament to how richly populated Marvel's corner of New York truly is.
