Spectacular Spider-Man (2008-2009)[]
Peter and Harry are close friends, forming a trio with Gwen Stacy. All three are juniors at Midtown Manhattan Magnet High School, and generally considered to be "nerds" and "losers" by their peers. Harry has a rough relationship with his father, Norman, and is constantly seeking his praise. He decides to try out for the football team and encourages Peter to join him. Peter, reluctantly, agrees, and begins to perform better than Harry due to his super powers. Harry becomes jealous, and once Peter notices he throws the try-outs. Harry ends up making the team, but when he excitedly tells his father he doesn't care.
Harry's jealousy of Peter only grows when Peter arrives to the Fall Formal with new girl Mary Jane Watson and draws everyone's attention away from him. Harry becomes addicted to taking "globulin green", a performance enhancing drug created by Oscorp. Gwen begins to notice that Harry is acting different and confides in Peter. Unfortunately, Peter is too busy being Spider-Man to be able to put any time or effort into getting through to Harry. Simultaneously, a new villain named the Green Goblin has arrived in New York City.
Peter becomes suspicious of the Green Goblin, assuming that he is Norman Osborn in disguise. He follows the Goblin back to Norman's home, but finds Harry in the Goblin suit. Norman offers to take the fall for Harry, but Peter tells him to simply take some time to help Harry get better. The next day it is revealed that Harry has dropped out of school to attend rehab.
While Harry is away Peter tries to remember to write to him but has too much on his mind. Harry returns to M3 for the beginning of the new year. Peter tells him that he's been dating Liz Allan, which encourages Harry to finally take a step in confessing to his crush, Gwen. Gwen accepts his offer to be her boyfriend, seemingly as a means to make Peter jealous. Harry is ecstatic to be dating her. Harry, Peter, Liz, Gwen, Mary Jane, and Mark Allan go out for dinner together for Valentine's Day. Gwen arrives with a makeover courtesy of Mary Jane, which stuns both Peter and Harry. When Gwen approaches Peter first, Harry again shows jealousy.
A few weeks later, the Green Goblin reappears in New York. Harry has also gone missing, and Peter quickly puts two and two together. A couple nights after the Goblin returns, Gwen calls Peter and asks him to meet at her house. There, he finds Harry who claims that the Green Goblin kidnapped him and took away his phone. He says that he threw away all of the globulin green and that he hasn't had any blackouts; Peter deduces that Harry was framed. Peter and Gwen encourage Harry to tell his parents about what happened, and he agrees.
He leaves Gwen's house, but stands on the front porch. Peter remains inside, and he and Gwen discuss their relationship. They both admit that they have feelings for each other, and that they should have acted on them earlier. Peter tries to kiss Gwen, but she tells him that she won't cheat on Harry. She promises to break things off with him, so that she and Peter can be together. Harry, still outside, hears everything.
Harry returns to his house, and Peter, as Spider-Man, follows him. They end up in a fight with the Green Goblin, with Peter following him via web-slinging and Harry flying in a helicopter with Norman. When Peter pins down the Goblin, he removes the mask and reveals that Norman Osborne is the Green Goblin. The Norman in the helicopter with Harry peels off his own mask to reveal that he is Chameleon, hired by the real Norman to keep anyone from suspecting that he was the Goblin.
Peter continues to fight with the Green Goblin, until the Goblin is thrown into a large vat of pumpkin bombs and seemingly dies. Peter and Gwen both attend Norman's funeral alongside Harry. Harry very pointedly tells Gwen that she's the only good thing left in his life, and that he doesn't know what he'd do without her. Gwen and Peter share a look, and its clear that Gwen won't break up with Harry in this state.
