History

George Stacy's life was very similar to that of his Earth-65 counterpart. He raised his daughter Gwen alone after his wife Helen's passing and their family was close friends with their neighbors, the Parkers. He would have his daughter enrolled at Chelsea Visions Academy, supporting her in the activities she did such as ballet, gymnastics and her status as a drummer in the Mary Janes. On the night of Gwen's prom, Stacy responded to a call for action and arrived to find Ben and May's nephew Peter dead at the hands of the Spider-Woman. Stacy tried to arrest her, but the dangerous vigilante had escaped. Motivated by the loss of Peter, Stacy led a manhunt for Spider-Woman, even though she saved him from getting shot while on duty one time.

One day Gwen returned from practice and announced she had quit her band. Stacy tried to talk to her by talking about his job, but the topic led to the Spider-Woman case and Gwen responded with harsh words, even though George didn't want to start an argument. He then asked his daughter to hug her, but as she did he was called up to respond to a Vulture wreaking havoc at the Guggenheim Museum. Arriving on the scene, Stacy asked Yuri Watanabe about the situation and told her to keep an eye for Spider-Woman, just as she webbed both of them to Stacy's car. After tauntung him and webbing hus mouth, the vigilante went inside.

Captain Stacy eventually freed himself and led a group of his fellow cops inside as well. Spider-Woman webbed him up once again and the saved him and civilian bystanders from a falling helicopter. Stacy then saw an opening, approaching the Spider-Woman as she was at her weakest and ordering her to surrender. The vigilante protested and Stacy fired a warning shot in the air to show the seriousness of his intentions. Spider-Woman then unmasked herself to reveal Gwen's face underneath the hood. She tried to explain herself, but George was caught up in the fact that his daughter had been lying to him for so long. He started reading her her right as Gwen approached a breakdown, but was disarmed and trapped in a force net by another Spider-Man. He threw captured Vulture into a dimensional portal and after a brief consideration tossed Gwen a Dimensional Travel Watch, inviting her to come with him. Gwen shared a last looked at her dad before disappering into unknown.

"You're the best thing I've ever done"

Captain Stacy had no clue of his daughter whereabouts for months, until she suddenly showed up at home one night. She was about to depart without saying a word but George woke up and asked her to at least looked at him. Gwen remarked that he was skinny and George asked where she had been, her sarcastically repliying that she was out murdering all her friends. George went into another room and Gwen went into a tirade about how her mask was the same as his badge and that she had to do the things she had to do, despite not knowing how. Midway through her speech, Stacy decided to quit the force, as his job and title held no meaning to him next to his daughter. He called her the best thing he had ever done, and Gwen embraced him in a warm hug. George then surprised Gwen by giving her a present one of her friends left with him earlier. It contained another Dimensional Travel Watch, and Gwen once again stepped through a portal into another universe, only this time promising her dad to come back home soon.

Notes

• Captain Stacy had a silent cameo in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and is voiced by Shea Whigham in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
• For his expanded role in Across the Spider-Verse, Captain Stacy was redesigned. In his original design, his physique was more slender and he sported a moustache. His initial design appears to look more like the design his Earth-65 counterpart has.
• George is apparently Christian, as his family is seen saying grace before a meal in the prologue of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Due to his Irish background, it is likely that he is Irish Catholic.
• Stacy worked in the 19th Precinct as a captain.
