Noticing Gwen with Spider-Man, he quickly realized that Spider-Man was Peter Parker. He told Peter when Spider-Man said no, Parker mean't he said no. Parker asked what did Harry do, The Goblin replied Peter was his friend, and Osborn was betrayed by him. He remarked "Look at me!" as it mean't that Parker caused Harry to do this.

### Video Games

#### *The Amazing Spider-Man 2*

After "The Carnage Killer"'s massacre on the criminals, which led the first attack and was set in Oscorp between Russians and Shocker's gang, Harry was approached by Wilson Fisk the Kingpin for their cooperation to put an end of the crime war and would not allow a vigilante like Spider-Man to do so. On the other side of the conference, Harry was forced to make a deal with Kingpin to boost the public image of Oscorp. During a party at night with Fisk, he was targeted by a Russian's assassin who disguised as a bartender to poison Harry to death, but luckily his best friend Peter secretly noticed about the bartender as he bumps into to him by "accident" to save Harry from being killed. They talk about Fisk and Harry gave him as much information as he could. Fisk quickly professed a desire to take Oscorp for himself and revealed he knew about Harry's disease. When Peter talked to him regarding Fisk establishing himself as the number one crime boss in New York, Harry reveals his disease and feelings of depression regarding Fisk and his disease and implores Peter to reach out to Spider-Man to save him. As Spider-Man is actually Peter himself, Spider-Man met him as soon as possible but refused to give him his blood without researching it's safety as it could turn him into a monster or kill him.

Upset, Harry dejectedly dismissed Spider-Man and in his desperation began human experiments and started to become obsessed with saving himself while also becoming embittered at Fisk, Menken and everyone who is trying to take what was his. Becoming Green Goblin in the end due to his refusal to listen by injecting himself with Richard Parker's spider venom formula, the pain and changes won't go away and in his anger Harry ordered Oscorp to be attacked by inmates he freed from Ravencroft to lure Spider-Man so he could kill and study him. Spider-Man is able to defeat Harry and Harry pleads for Peter, who he somehow knows is Spider-Man, to give him a merciful death.

However, Spider-Man refused and telling Harry to think hard because there many people who are having a natural illness or same disease all over the world, even they don't have the money or resource has Harry's, and tells Harry if he didn't fight for himself, Harry will owe to them to find an answer for his mistake and do whatever he can make up for them. As Spider-Man leaves by telling a great man Spider-Man knew had taught him, and Harry tries to call back Spider-Man by his real name, Harry faints. While it seemed he perished after his battle with Spiderman, it was confirmed by the Kingpin that was still alive and taken to either jail or Ravencroft, regardless the Kingpin takes over the Oscorp glider air force.

## Powers

 File:Green-Goblin-2.jpg
* **Metamorphosis/Shapeshifitng:**  Upon injecting himself with genetically modified spider venom, Harry was transfigured. The metamorphose changed Harry both physically and mentally. It turned his skin pale-greenish, made his hair stand up and gave him claw-like fingernails. This transformation altered the chemistry in Harry's body and possibly affected his brain, which could explain his apparent insanity and dehumanization, as well as making him more instinctual and homicidal. The alteration would have killed Harry,if he had not put on the Oscorp Exo-Suit which healed him. The effects later wore off. Harry did, however, when he was asked if the effects had returned, say, "*It comes and goes*". Unlike Peter, he didn't get regenerative healing to cure himself of his disease.
* **Superhuman Strength:**  His strength was enhanced by the exoskeleton of Oscorp shown to be strong enough to be near or the same to Spider-Man. He was able to pin Spider-Man to the floor, though he took several hits while doing so and Spider-Man was weakened from his fight with Electro. He was even able to choke Spider-Man with one hand. File:The Green Goblin Attacks.png

* **Superhuman Speed:** He appeared to be able to run faster than cars.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** His stamina was very enhanced by the venom of the spider and the Oscorp exoskeleton.
* **Superhuman Acrobatics:** His agility was very enhanced by the spider venom. He was capable of making several quick maneuvers while on his glider and was able to seemingly leap several feet across to tackle Peter to the floor when he was knocked off his glider.

## Trivia

* Although credited as the Green Goblin, he isn't referred to that name in the film (similar to Template:WPS in Template:WPS.) However, at the climax of the film, when Gwen calls him "Harry", he claims that "Harry is dead!", thus giving way to the **Green Goblin**. In *The Amazing Spider-Man 2* game, he is only referred to as the Goblin. However, when the subtitles are on, the game refers to him as the Green Goblin.
* Dane DeHaan was set to reprise his role in *Sinister Six* and *The Amazing Spider-Man 3*, however, with a reboot to the *Spider-Man* franchise underway, these films have been canceled. The role of The Green Goblin has since been given back to original Live-Action Goblin Willem Dafoe in order to have the classic 2002 version of the character be introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, along with fellow Raimi trilogy actor Alfred Molina, returning as *Template:WPS*'s Doctor Octopus. This is shown in the trailer for the film, which was revealed in August 2021.
