Biography

Harry Osborn, the son of wealthy industrialist Norman Osborn, was born into privilege, but his life took a dark turn upon discovering his father's secret identity as the Green Goblin. Initially a loyal friend to Peter Parker (Spider-Man), Harry's life spiraled when he learned that under the guise of the Goblin, his father had caused great harm. Following Norman's demise, Harry oscillated between bitterness and the desire to honor his legacy, leading him down a path of villainy as the Green Goblin himself. Various iterations of Harry depict him grappling with mental health issues stemming from the pressure to succeed and his tumultuous relationship with Spider-Man. Over the years, he has been portrayed in various media – from comic book story arcs like 'The Night Gwen Stacy Died' to adaptations in animated series and live-action films. Many adaptations are significant in highlighting the complex bond between Harry and Peter, showcasing themes of friendship, betrayal, and redemption, often leaving fans wondering if he could one day break free from his father's shadow.
