### Type of Hero

Redeemed Scapegoat

**Harold "Harry" Osborn**, also known as **Venom** with his symbiote, is a minor character in both the 2018 superhero video game *Marvel's Spider-Man* and its 2020 spin-off *Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales* and the anti-heroic deutergonist of its 2023 sequel *Marvel's Spider-Man 2*.

He is the son of Oscorp's CEO Norman Osborn, who had bonded him with an alien parasite-like organism called the symbiote, as a means of keeping him alive. The symbiote, codenamed **VNM-252**, initially went off to bond with his best friend, Peter Parker after he was nearly killed by Kraven the Hunter, before it eventually returned to Harry, perfectly fusing the two into Venom.

As Harry Osborn, he was originally voiced by Scott Porter and currently voiced by Graham Phillips, while as Venom, he was voiced by Tony Todd.

## His Good Ranking

### His Heroic Deeds

* Harry seems to be a good-natured and intelligent man, hoping to follow in his mother's footsteps as an environmental attorney.
* Harry manages to recover from his illness and proceeds to reunite up with Peter and Mary Jane at May's old house. Harry then takes Peter back to Midtown Highschool where he surprises Peter with a gift, that being an official key card of the organization Harry founded, Emily-May Foundation.
* Harry then teams up with Peter, using the symbiote to form a suit of his very own, and assists in helping him save Tombstone from the Hunters.
* He redeems himself at the end of the game. After snapping free from its influence, he feels remorse and realizes that Peter was right about the symbiote, trying his best to hold back long enough so he could destroy it despite knowing that he would die in the process. Though Miles was able to revive him thanks to his powers, albeit at the cost of him being rendered comatose.

### Why He Doesn't Stand Out?

* He fails the admirable standards compared to other Spider-Man characters
* While he genuinely loves his father, Harry is well-aware of his father's flaws, including his greed and dishonesty as heard in his audio logs.
* Even before fully descending into villainy, he was already rather arrogant and fairly cocky as a superhero, an example being disregarding Tombstone's advice on how to free him and endangers everyone in the factory with molten steel. While accidental, it's not like Harry wasn’t warned above it what not to do. Though this was a side effect of the Venom symbiote.
* Despite constructing several Research Stations to help New York City and preserve his mother, Emily's philanthropic legacy in eyes of his father, Harry would subvert this good deed when he later converted a majority of New York's population into symbiotes.
* Beat down on Kraven the Hunter with the intention of killing him after he fatally stabbed Peter Parker/Spider-Man, though it was justified for the most part.
* Got angry at MJ, over Peter not giving the Symbiote back to him when his illness started to come back. While he had every right to be angry at Peter, it was completely unnecessary to take his anger out on MJ.
* Smashed the container containing the symbiote when
* As a result of his tragedy, feeling of betrayal, and ultimately being put in a coma which most likely he won’t wake up from, Harry is ultimately a scapegoat.
