 So what? The good she's doing now is supposed to erase her past? I looked back into the Midtown High School incident like you suggested. Even if Parker was that Lizard. If he changed like those men we saw in the tunnels -- no one there saw anything other than Parker dead at Spider-Woman's feet. And without evidence, she's guilty until proven innocent. Welcome to America, Captain. 

—Detective Jean DeWolff
