Biography[]
High School Career[]
Decathlon Team[]
- "What is the heaviest naturally-occurring element?"
"Hydrogen's the lightest. That's not the question. Okay." - ―Liz Toomes and Charles Murphy[src]
Charles Murphy was a member of the Midtown School of Science and Technology's Academic Decathlon Team. As such, he took part in practice before the Nationals, although he had a tendency to give unrelated answers to questions.[1]
Decathlon Nationals[]

Murphy joined the rest of his team for the Academic Decathlon's nationals in Washington, D.C., expressing amazement at the hotel they were staying in. The night before the nationals, Murphy went to the hotel's swimming pool with the other students and played with Flash Thompson and Abe Brown in the pool.
The day after, Murphy went to the nationals with his team. Despite Peter Parker's absence, they were victorious. As a reward, Roger Harrington took his students, including Murphy, to the Washington Monument. However, while they were in the elevator, a Chitauri Energy Core in Ned Leeds' backpack released an energy pulse, damaging the elevator. Although Murphy was convinced they would die, he and the other students were successfully rescued by Spider-Man.[1]
