Robbie Robertson (1994-1998)

History
As a child, Robbie was best friends with Lonnie Lincoln, who later grew up to become the villain Tombstone. Lonnie was sent to a young offenders institute after Robbie ditched him at a robbery. Lonnie got out and wanted revenge on Robbie so he lead him to a chemical plant where Robbie would get the blame for breaking in. Instead, Lonnie fell in some chemicals and was thought dead.

Robbie later got a job at the Daily Bugle and got married to Martha Robertson and had a son called Randy Robertson.

Later, Robbie learned that Lonnie was alive and was working as a hitman under the name Tombstone. Tombstone's employer, Alisha Silvermane, tried to get Robbie to get rid of incriminating photos the Bugle had of her but he refused. Randy, who had joined Tombstone's gang, was used by Tombstone to influence Robbie but this failed as Spider-Man and Robbie persuaded Randy not to do crime.

Robbie, unlike his boss J. Jonah Jameson, was a big supporter of Spider-Man and was also a good friend of Peter Parker.
