History: (Avengers VI#1.MU (fb) - BTS) - Informant Jimmy Dee learned information about a Maggia meeting and contacted Spider-Man, who was apparently a past associate, in an attempt to give him the information in exchange for money.

(Avengers VI#1.MU) - Growing impatient and slightly paranoid, Jimmy Dee was shocked when Spider-Man seemingly appeared in front of him. Exclaiming that Spider-Man could give a guy a heart attack just popping in like that, Jimmy Dee was asked why he contacted Spider-Man the "old school" way instead of filing a tip on his criminal tip hotline. Admitting that he didn't have computer mail or a "tumble-tweet," Jimmy Dee explained that he had a sweet lead and needed the cash and Spider-Man explained that he usually left the street level crime to his younger protege but asked what Dee's tip was for the sake of nostalgia. Dee then informed Spider-Man that the Maggia criminal organization was on the rebound with a big meeting planned of all of the families. When Spider-Man asked where, Jimmy Dee explained that it was at a restaurant called Durante's in Boston and when Spider-Man asked why Boston and not New York, Dee further explained that with all of the heroes based in New York, the Maggia chose Boston rather than invite trouble. Spider-Man then received a phone call reminding him about his flight to Berlin in eight hours, prompting him to rush off and when Jimmy Dee asked about his money, Spider-Man yelled that he would Paypal it. A confused Jimmy Dee was left asking what Paypal even was.
