Robbie Robertson is a significant supporting character in Marvel Comics, primarily associated with Spider-Man. He is introduced as the city editor and later editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, where Peter Parker works as a freelance photographer.

Robertson is depicted as a grounded and morally upright figure, often serving as a voice of reason within the Bugle's often sensationalist environment. He acts as a mentor and father figure to Peter Parker, providing guidance and support both professionally and personally.

His history includes a past association with Tombstone, a powerful crime boss. Robbie's earlier decision to remain silent about Tombstone's crimes haunts him, creating internal conflict and impacting his relationships, including his friendship with Joe "Robbie" Robertson (no relation). He ultimately strives to atone for his past mistakes by upholding journalistic integrity and advocating for justice.

Throughout his appearances, Robbie is a reliable and compassionate character, providing a moral compass within the often chaotic world of superheroes and villains.
