Murph was adopted by Delmar. He was brought to Delmar's store in Queens and rested there as Delmar worked. One day in 2016, Peter Parker stopped off at the store. He greeted Delmar and bought himself a sandwich. After Delmar had threatened to overcharge Parker for the sandwich, Parker said hello to Murph, politely petting him.[1]

Murph and Delmar are saved by Spider-Man

Eventually, one night, Spider-Man spotted a small group of thieves attempting to rob an ATM. Building up confidence and determined to prove himself as a hero, Spider-Man went to confront them. Getting their attention, Spider-Man mocked the group for having disguised themselves with cheap Avengers masks. After Spider-Man soon subdued almost all of the robbers, one of the thugs used a highly advanced Anti-Gravity Gun made from Chitauri technology to even the odds, knocking back Spider-Man. The fight resulted in one of the weapons accidentally destroying the deli-grocery where Delmar was working. Spider-Man managed to rescue Delmar and Murph before the New York City Police Department and Damage Control came in and dealt with the robbers.[1]

Trivia[]

  • Murph is a reference to the beloved New York City phenomenon of bodega cats, which are cats kept by deli owners such as Delmar to prevent rodent infestations despite public health departments forbidding live animals (besides fish in tanks) from residing in any establishment which sells food. In New York City, bodega cats remain ubiquitous, as the fine for rodent infestations is greater than the fine for keeping an animal in such an establishment.
