There's always the option of Oracle - Hi, floating green all-knowing lady head! Sekritly Barbara Gordon, voyeur / superhero puppetmaster / queen hacker extraordinaire.
She has her on again, off again *thing*'s apartment video bugged (the Grayson cam!) "For his own good" and her amusement. He knows and even when in the off again phase, doesn't mind in the least.
Also she... like. Gen-doms? Black Canary, her primary superhero partner / subordinate / friend puppet. She, er. Introduces herself (as glowing computer head) by basically telling Canary "Wear this! I had it made for you! And dye your hair, you know you want to." And she *does*.
Thing. OH DCU.
And no one finds information better than Barbara Gordon and she's... remarkably unbothered by a spot of stealing from criminals. Somehow I think she and Neal would get along, and Peter might like her a good deal. Though neither would probably ever know who Oracle really was.
I am thinking Neal should con one of the many Invading Space Aliens that pop up in the DCU. He would enjoy it and be good at it. Saving Earth by pretending this is Not His Planet and he Doesn't Care. But he totally does! Earth is the Best Planet EVER.
