J. Jonah Jameson

The owner if the Daily Bugle and it's publisher is a well-respected journalist who has a lot of pull in NYC, but he uses his paper to continue his personal vendetta against Spider-Man. He was once married to a woman named Joan, but she passed away. He later remarried a scientist by the name of Marla Madison. Since Spider-Man was in show-business and later became known as a hero, JJJ has believed that the hero is a glory hound who wants nothing more than good publicity. Even early in Spider-Man's career, the Web-Slinger saved JJJ's son John on a space mission gone wrong.

JJJ hated him even more for overshadowing his son in the news. One of JJJ's greatest shames is that he secretly funded the experiment that created the villain known as Scorpion. JJJ told only told this to Norman Osborn, who wrote it down in his journals. He never told anybody else. When those journals where found by the Hobgoblin, he wanted to use blackmail to get money, in exchange he won't leak all the secrets to the public. With that, JJJ decided to write an editorial in the paper which admits that he had part in the creation of the villain. In that editorial, JJJ stepped down as Editor-in-Cheif and gave it to long-time friend Robbie Robertson. JJJ is also responsible for the creation of another villain, Spencer Smyther; the Spider-Slayer, and via default, his son Alistair Smythe.
Despite the fact Spidey has saved his life (and his family's life) countless of times, he STILL claims to hate him. He may act like he is a penny-pincher who hates everyone who works for him, but he really cares for them. For example when Peter would be accused of being a serial killer, JJJ would hire the best attourney for Peter. He feels close to Peter, as if he were his son. When Jack 'O Lantern II would threaten to harm Marla and John if JJJ didn't sell over half of the Bugle to Norman Osborn, JJJ forcefully sold it. After spending months of comtemplating to kill Norman, he couldn't make himself to pull the trigger. This made JJJ feel weak, but then Spidey came and interrupted them and he felt that Spidey came there to gloat about how he couldn't kill Osborn. A few days later, when the Goblin and Spidey are fighting, the Bugle gets destroyed and JJJ blames Spidey for the destruction of his building. Due to Norman's disappearance, JJJ retakes his position at the top of the Daily Bugle as sole owner. A few months later, when a close friends' daughter, Martha Franklin (Spider-Woman III) runs away from home, JJJ and Marla takes her in. She would runaway from her caretakers and wind up in a lot of trouble.
