Who is Debra Whitman?

Brief History Both Debra and Peter Parker attended Empire State University. Debra was a TA and a secretary to the Dean, Morris Sloan. Debra was initially in an abusive relationship and Peter stepped in to save her. Due to several coincidences Debra began to believe that Peter Parker was actually Spider-Man (which in fact, was true). Peter was alerted to this by Debra's psychologist and he convinced Peter to fake being Spider-Man to snap her back to reality. Peter however decided to confess but the revelation had the effect the psychiatrist hoped for and Debra laughed out how ludicrous the notion of Peter being Spider-Man was. Eventually the two parted ways so Debra could go take care of some personal business and did not see each other again for a long time. Years later, Debra finally found out that she was right all along when Spider-man unmasked himself during the superhuman Civil War events that had led to a Super-Human Registration Act.
