Vincent Gonzales

A product of Marvel's celebrated Brand New Day era, Vincent Gonzales stepped onto the page in The Amazing Spider-Man #556 in 2008, brought to life by the sharp creative pairing of Zeb Wells and Chris Bachalo. His world is thoroughly embedded in the street-level New York that makes Spider-Man's corner of Marvel so compelling — he shares those pages with Peter Parker, Carlie Cooper, Harry Osborn, and Betty Brant, a cast that defined some of the most energetic Amazing Spider-Man storytelling of the late 2000s. With only a handful of appearances, Vincent is a deep-cut figure for the dedicated Brand New Day completist, the kind of character who adds texture and authenticity to a richly populated supporting world.
