Ben Urich

The Bugle's Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter wrote the book called "The Dynasty of Evil" about the documentation and the history of the Green Goblin and the Osborn family. In the book, he reveals that Norman Osborn and the Goblin were the same person; a fact that was not public knowledge until the book's release. He is also a close friend to Matt Murdoch (a.k.a. Daredevil), and is one of his most valuable allies. He was one of the first who knew that Murdoch is Daredevil, that is until it was revealed to the whole world. He's an ally of Peter who helps him with information whenever he needs it.

When Norman Osborn purchased one-half of the Bugle in an attempt to destroy Peter's life years later, he forced Urich to denounce the whole novel. Currently, he is still doing what he does best; being an investigative reporter for the Bugle. However, his career has recently hit a roadblock. After revealing to JJJ that he had known Daredevil's scret identity for years, JJJ managed to stick Urich on little stories in spite. Yet, pressured with low-sales, JJJ comes to the conclusion that his paper is too biased so he recreuits retired super-hero Jessica Jones saves the life of a family friend and Urich to give a more inside-look at the world of super-heroes, called 'The Pulse'. In their first story, the duo decide to take down Norman Osborn, after the disappearance of a co-worker. It is during this story that Urich reveals to Spider-Man that he has known for a while that Parker is the Wall-Crawler.
