History:
(Webspinners: Tales of Spider-Man#7) - While observing his student Peter Parker conduct an experiment, Midtown High Schoolteacher Hugh Del tried to get the tightly wound Parker to relax and consider attending the upcoming senior prom, sympathizing with Parker's need for financial aid for his post-secondary education in the fall, but telling him he'd regret missing his prom (and that it'd only be one night). When Parker's classmate and rival for the Gifted Student Program grant Blake Coffey made light of Parker's turmulteous life, Del came to his defense, reminding Coffey that despite Parker's lack of a social life he was further along with his scholarship project. As Coffey left the classroom, Del told Parker to ignore him and continue his work.
The following day Del took part in a demonstration of Coffey's project, a virtual reality apparatus. While skeptical that Coffey constructed the project himself (per the scholarship's rules), he was assured Coffey built the unit himself.
