Picard got stabbed in the heart because of him.
Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Picard's Academy #1The inclusion of a certain classmate in the comic series Star Trek: Picard's Academy who debuted in a flashback episode of The Next Generation signals the possibility that a fellow cadet who was responsible for Picard having to get an artificial heart might make an appearance as well. The only caveat is that Jean-Luc's friend who appears in Picard's Academy is different from how she was portrayed in the TV show.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT That friend, Marty Batanides, is shown to be very much smitten with a much younger and different Jean-Luc in Star Trek – Picard’s Academy #1 by writer Sam Maggs, artist Ornella Greco, colorist Charlie Kirchoff and letterer Jeff Eckleberry. She goes out of her way to catch up with him after class, and upon talking to him, she gets easily flustered.
The Next Generation's Cortin Zweller Could Appear in Picard's Academy Marty's first and only other appearance in the series takes place in The Next Generation episode "Tapestry." Other than people only referring to her as Marta, she is also known for being very close friends with Picard and another student named Cortin Zweller.
One notable point is that Picard's Academy is already portraying Marty very differently than how her counterpart acted in The Next Generation. Although Marta falls for Picard in "Tapestry," it is assumed she's only attracted to him because of how differently he is acting, which she later attributes to his seriousness. That's because Q is somehow involved in present-day Picard either reliving or dreaming about when he was younger.
Picard's Rival Is A Pretty Good Alternative Although IDW is clearly taking creative license with Marty in Picard's Academy and even slightly altering her name, this doesn't necessary mean that the publishing company will retcon history so much that Zweller doesn't exist in this continuity. However, what readers do know is that Zweller doesn't appear in the debut issue.
