Our 11 Most Burning Questions For Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Harry Osborn has been a number of issues within the comics: Peter’s greatest pal, a hyperintelligent AI, a lifeless man, and, after all, Inexperienced Goblin, simply to call a number of. He is by no means been Venom within the comics, although he did don the go well with to turn out to be Venom in 2012’s Final Spider-Man animated collection. Insomniac confirmed a willingness to mess with some tried-and-true points of Spider-Man lore within the first recreation, akin to making Otto Octavius considered one of Peter’s closest mates and mentors to inform the story of his tragic downfall. So would possibly we lastly see Harry turn out to be Venom as soon as once more?

The clues are actually there. Harry has been “away” for a while as the primary recreation begins on account of what we later study is a debilitating persistent sickness known as Oshtoran Syndrome. He instructed his mates that he was going to Europe, however we study in a mid-credits stinger that Harry is not throughout the ocean, the East River, and even throughout city. Actually, Mary Jane stood only a few ft away from him at one level. The ominous metal tank in Norman’s hidden laboratory incorporates Harry himself, suspended in a transparent inexperienced fluid, with black tendrils shifting round him.

It is all however on condition that the black tendrils are the Venom Symbiote. We assumed as a lot on the finish of the primary recreation, and the introduction of Venom as a serious character in Spider-Man 2 ensures it. However whether or not Harry would be the one to put on the Symbiote is way more tough to inform. On the one hand, it appears probably that this Symbiote would’ve bonded with Harry and will act as a type of life-saving go well with. Within the comics, Venom bonds with Flash Thompson former bully of Peter Parker, turned struggle veteran and amputee. Flash turns into Agent Venom, a heroic character sporting the Symbiote go well with.

Alternatively, Harry has completely no beef with Peter or Spider-Man. He appears to know that Peter is Spider-Man based mostly on the truth that he left him every kind of notes to do work in inaccessible rooftop labs, however he nonetheless considers Peter his greatest pal. Additional, we all know from the footage that we have seen that Peter wears the Symbiote go well with for at the very least a part of the sport. Traditionally when the Symbiote splits off, it varieties separate personalities like Carnage and Riot. So it appears unlikely that Peter and Harry could be sporting the Symbiote on the similar time, and even much less probably that Peter would tackle the Symbiote understanding what it’s.

We’re open to possibilities–just about each tweak Insomniac made to identified Spidey villains within the authentic recreation made it extra attention-grabbing in the long term. However proper now, we do not assume Harry is Venom–someone else will take that on.
