History:

(Spider-Woman III#1 (fb) - BTS) - Police captain Ronald Parady was in charge of New York's 43rd Precinct, which serves the southeast section of the Bronx.

(Spider-Woman III#1 (fb) - BTS) - The abduction of business tycoon Adam Ramsey was the first in a series of CEO kidnappings over the course of several weeks. The latest victim was Randolph Conroy. The police had no idea who was behind the abductions or what the reasons were (the culprit was Charlotte Witter, a crazed new Spider-Woman who fed off the blood of men)

(Spider-Woman III#1) - Parady had a tense meeting with detective Phil Rodriguez in his office. The detective was worried what would happen if the media got wind of the abductions and their complete lack of progress. Parady wanted Rodriguez to come up with leads about the kidnapper's identity. He reminded him that the description Conroy's surviving security guard gave matched the 'spider-dame' that was running around the city a week or so ago.

(Spider-Woman III#1) - When Rodriguez bemoaned the involvement of 'super-freaks', Parady came down hard on him. He insisted the detective overlooked his personal feelings about superhumans, sometimes there is stuff only they can do even if it seems they grab all the glory. Rodriguez shot back that most of the times there wouldn't even be super-powered creeps if they didn't have some kind of ax to grind with 'heroes'. Rodriguez left Parady's office to check out Conroy's office.

(Spider-Woman III#1 - BTS) - Parady's lead paid off: Rodriguez ultimately tracked down Spider-Woman and helped free the kidnapped CEOs.

Comments: Created by John Byrne, Bart Sears, Randy Elliot & Raymond Kryssing.

Captain Parady appeared in only in one issue of Spider-Woman, though it would seem Byrne had bigger plans for his character and Phil Rodriguez. A caption in #1 introduces them as 'two more members of our growing cast'... But Parady was never seen again and Rodriguez disappears after #3.
