Pumpkin Bombs

**Pumpkin Bombs** are pumpkin-themed explosives created and used by Green Goblin. They were later used by Harry Osborn and briefly, Peter Parker.

## History

### Green Goblin's Rampage

The Pumpkin Bombs come from the weapons arsenal of the Goblin's flying vehicle, the Goblin Glider. The bombs are used as explosive grenades, disintegration devices, and as bladed boomerang-like devices. During the Attack on the World Festival, the Green Goblin attacked the board members of Oscorp, throwing a pumpkin bomb below the balcony that collapses as soon as it explodes. He also threw another bomb, this time a flashbang which disintegrates his targets, the Oscorp board members, killing them instantly. The Goblin later lures Spider-Man into a burning building, when he managed to wound Spider-Man on the arm.

### Battle on the Queensboro Bridge

During the final confrontation when Goblin throws Spider-Man into an abandoned building, he threw another pumpkin bomb which exploded in front of Peter Parker's face, blasting off half of his mask and sending him flying through a wall. After the death of the Green Goblin, Spider-Man gently carried Norman's body back to his penthouse and hid all of the Green Goblin's equipment inside his secret lair.

### Attack on Peter Parker

Three years later, after Harry Osborn discovered the identities of Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, he became consumed by vengeance to avenge his father's death. He used his father's Pumpkin Bombs when he became the New Goblin. He ambushed Peter while he was on his way home from visiting his Aunt May. Harry used his pumpkin bomb, deployed from his glider, developed by Oscorp, known as the Sky Stick, he threw several pumpkin bombs which turned into razor bats, but Peter managed to outsmart them with his webbing. He caught the last pumpkin razor bat and threw it at Harry, who managed to withstand the explosion caused by it before he was knocked off his glider by Peter's web trip wire.

### Duel at the Osborn Penthouse

After regaining his memory back, Harry, during his fight with Peter, who was controlled by the alien black suit, in his mansion, sent them both flying though the glass mirror and into the Goblin's lair. After the Sky Stick knocked Harry into a glass shelf containing pumpkin bombs, the glass shelf shattered and sent all of the pumpkin bombs flying down onto the floor. Not ready to give up, Harry threw one pumpkin bomb at Peter, who dodged it. However, Peter, under the influence of the black suit, used his webbing to deflect the attack and threw it right back at Harry. The bomb exploded right next to Harry, scarring the left side of his face.

### Battle at the Construction Site

When he finally found out that Peter did not kill his father and he was driven in a misguided attempt to avenge him, Harry arrived at the construction site to save Spider-Man and Mary Jane from Sandman and Venom. He used a pumpkin bomb on Sandman which exploded and caused Sandman to collapse back into human form. Spider-Man later used one the Sky Stick's pumpkin bombs to destroy the symbiote that possessed Eddie Brock, to put it out of everyone's misery and to prevent it from bonding to any more future hosts. Eddie attempted to save the symbiote by jumping into it, but was killed in the explosion along with the symbiote.

## Capabilities

The Pumpkin Bombs have the ability to explode like normal bombs, via the use of a ticking timer. The Pumpkin Bombs can cause huge explosions that can cause damage to several buildings and can kill an alien species at once. They also have the ability to vaporise a person or more with just one bright green light, which can turn victims into skeletons and into dust, killing them instantly.

The Pumpkin Bombs also have the ability to transform into razor bats that can slice or cut an opponent's arm, leg or body with one scratch.

## Trivia

* In the comics, the Pumpkin Bombs were styled as jack-o-lantern bombs developed by the Green Goblin and not only explode, but can also set objects on fire. In the film, they are simply metallic bombs styled like pumpkins that can cause destruction and vaporise an opponent within seconds.
