Jean DeWolff

Jean DeWolff

Pictures


Jean DeWolff is a fictional police detective who functions as a supporting character in books published by Marvel Comics, in particular those featuring Spider-Man.

Having experienced a problematic childhood, Jean became a tough, unrelenting police captain for the NYPD. She notably prefers clothing and cars from the 1930s era. In the course of her work she becomes acquainted with and befriends Spider-Man,[volume & issue needed] and becomes one of his staunchest admirers and allies in the NYPD force, who had previously been hostile to him, thanks to the antagonistic editorials of The Daily Bugle's J. Jonah Jameson.

Jean is killed by her lover, Stan Carter, aka Sin-Eater. After her death, Spider-Man discovers that she had kept a collection of Spider-Man news clippings (a photo of him with the Black Cat was cut to remove the Black Cat from the image). This implied that her feelings towards him were warmer than she generally indicated, leaving Spider-Man even more dejected.

Jean's brother Brian, who was separated from her when she was six months old, is also known as the Wraith. Upon her death, Brian goes insane, blaming the NYPD for her death. But before he can commence his attack, he is killed by the Scourge of the Underworld.
