Early Life
Jefferson Davis grew up very close to his brother Aaron Davis. The two used to walk around the city, where one of their hobbies was to find different and interesting sounds, which they recorded and used to make music with a sampler. At some point, Jeff decided to become a police officer, while Aaron went the opposite way, getting involved in the criminal world under the moniker of Prowler, a famous criminal-for-hire. As the Prowler became notorious, Jeff started an investigation on the criminal. At some point he also met and married Rio Morales, with whom he had a son Miles Morales. Jeff unfortunately had his relationship with his brother destroyed, after Aaron confessed that he was the Prowler all along. Unable to take any action against his brother, Jeff decided to cut all contact with him, not even letting his son Miles approach his uncle.[1]

One night, he was contacted by his friend and fellow officer Captain Yuri Watanabe to help Spider-Man uncover a secret weapons stash of the former crime lord Wilson Fisk before the Demons could have access to it. Both Spider-Man and Jeff met at an harbor on the hudson river, where the supposed stash was located. After a brief search through an abandoned shed, they discovered that the stash was just taken by the Demons, that were just getting away on two gun-loaded trucks, with Spider-Man immediately stopping them before they could escape.
