Captain George Stacy is a supporting character in Marvel Comics, primarily associated with Spider-Man. He is introduced as a New York City Police Department captain and a staunch supporter of Spider-Man, believing him to be a hero despite public skepticism.

Stacy is portrayed as intelligent, perceptive, and possessing a strong moral compass. He quickly deduces Peter Parker's secret identity as Spider-Man, but keeps this knowledge to himself, acting as a father figure and confidante to Peter.

A tragic event defines his character: Stacy is killed while saving a child from debris during a battle between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus. His death serves as a significant turning point in Peter Parker's life, further solidifying his sense of responsibility and guilt.

Captain Stacy's dying words, "Take care of her, take care of her for me," referring to his daughter Gwen Stacy, become a powerful motivator for Peter. He is remembered as a symbol of integrity and a reminder of the human cost of superheroics.
