Delmar ran and operated a deli in Queens, with his sandwiches being touted as the best the borough had to offer. He owned a cat named Murph that stayed with him in the deli during work hours. Peter Parker was one of his regular customers, who visited him to buy food in the afternoons. Parker's frequent visits caused him and Delmar to form a friendship, as well as familiarize Delmar with Parker's aunt, whom he held an interest in. Delmar also came to know Aaron Davis as well due to his frequent visits to his store.[1]

―911 Dispatcher and Delmar[src]

One night in 2016, Delmar witnessed Spider-Man fighting a group of criminals wearing cardboard masks of the Avengers' faces, whom he mistook as Spider-Man fighting the actual team. Delmar called the police and alerted them to the situation at Queens Community Bank across the street. Suddenly, his bodega was destroyed by one of the robbers' weapons, though Spider-Man was able to save Delmar and Murph from the flaming wreckage.[1]

Sometime afterwards, Delmar opened up a new and refurbished store called Delmar's Deli & Grill. In June 2024, Delmar and Murph were met by Peter Parker who came into his store to pick up a few items before his summer trip to Europe.[2]

Sometime later, Delmar put out an ad in The Daily Bugle for a cook who wasn't allergic to cats.[3]

Deli Store Reopening[]

In July 2024, Delmar's original deli store had been reconstructed and become fully operational again. Delmar used this as his second location of business.[4]

"It's five dollars!"
"For that comment, it's ten dollars."
Peter Parker and Delmar[src]

Delmar was a cat-lover and dedicated worker who operated several stores after previous ones were shut down. He was not very smart, as he confused the Criminal Avengers for being the actual team. He was attracted to May Parker and would talk about her to his employees, although he did not like when Peter Parker spoke the same way about his daughter.
