* Allies

Norman Osborn (father)

Peter Parker/Spider-Man (best friend)

**Harold "Harry" Osborn** is a major character in the 2012 series, *Ultimate Spider-Man*. He is the best friend of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson and the son of Oscorp founder and CEO Norman Osborn. In Season 4, Harry discovers Peter is Spider-Man and that Flash Thompson is Agent Venom, quickly accepting his best friend's secret identity.

He briefly became the **Hobgoblin** and bonded to three Symbiotes, operating as **Venom**, **Carnage** and **Anti-Venom**. Harry games his own suit of armor similar to that of his father's and becomes the **Patrioteer**.

## History

Harold "Harry" Osborn was the only child of Norman Osborn and Emily Lyman, who died in childbirth. Raised by Norman, Harry had a difficult childhood growing up. He got moderately good grades in school, but his father pushed him to do better. Harry spent time alone at the house due to a lack of friends and his father always working. Wherever Harry and Norman were together, it was mostly strained for Harry, as Norman always pushed him hard.

## Personality

According to Peter, everyone loves Harry and this is because of his charming and charasmatic personality. However, he can be a spoiled teenager, possibly due to a lack of Norman being around. When he was left home alone, Norman left him 1000 dollars that Harry used to recklessly throw a party in the house. This also attributes to Norman constantly micromanaging everything in Harry's life or often criticizing him to do better. Another negative aspect is Harry's jealousy towards others, including Peter's teammates. Despite his faults, Harry is a good person at heart, willing to protect Mary Jane from the Frightful Four and Carnage or Peter Parker from the Green Goblin. He is also willing to step in the line of fire when confronted with Norman (while he was the Green Goblin) so his father doesn't take things too far.

By season 4, Harry has matured, enough to accept Peter as Spider-Man and improve his relationship with Norman, who is trying to be a better parent to Harry

## Friends

### Peter Parker

   Harry and Peter have been best friends since at least before high school. After seeing Peter's bike broke down during a rainy day, Harry noticed him and offered him a ride home in the car instead of letting him walk home in the rain while introducing Peter to his father, Norman. Since that day, they have been best friends. According to Parker, everyone loves Harry, who often defends him from Flash Thompson. However, Peter's career as Spider-Man gets in the way of their friendship, mostly due to Harry's initial resentment towards Spider-Man for failing to save his father. However, Harry's relationship with his best friend's alter ego improves. During the *Symbiote Saga* arc, Peter finally revealed his secret identity to Harry while the latter was possessed by the Anti-Venom symbiote. Because Spider-Man couldn't get to Harry, Peter could. After stopping the Carnage symbiotes from wrecking havoc, Harry expressed pride and happiness that his best friend was Spider-Man.

### Mary Jane Watson

Mary Jane is one of Harry's best friends and they met through Peter Parker or at school. During the Frightful Four's attack on Midtown High School, Harry immediately stood in front of her, showing how willing he is to protect MJ or Peter. Unfortunately, Harry got hurt, with MJ quickly rushing to his side. During the *Symbiote Saga* arc, MJ stood by Harry's side when the latter was in stasis after his fight with Anti-Venom. The Carnage symbiotes attacked and MJ refused to leave him behind, even calling Peter to help her. During the third part, seeing MJ going on a rampage when bonded to the Carnage symbiote, Harry (along with Flash and Peter) reveals his identity to get with her, like Peter did got him
