When Peter was in search of a roommate, Harry Osborn offered the idea of Vin, a friend of Lily and Carlie.
Vin is unable to explain himself until his partner, Alan O'Neal, chastises him and slips that "we gave 'em to you to take care of".
[4] It was revealed that Vin was recruited into the group shortly after his rescue from Ana Kravinoff due to his continuing hatred for Spider-Man.
At Ryker's Island, many criminals attack him for his status as a policeman, but Spider-Man rescues him and breaks him out of jail.
[6] 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.
He is partners with Carlie at the time she gave Peter the inspiration to work with the police, which he currently does within the pages of Spider-Girl.
