It’s Week 4 of Goblin Month and the Smark Avengers are dedicating it to the tragic and unfortunate life of Harry Osborn!

Tragically trapped in the overwhelming shadow of his father Norman, Harry Osborn’s journey is one of the most heartbreaking downward spirals in Spider-Man history. Driven by grief, psychological trauma, and a desperate desire for parental approval, Harry inherited the toxic legacy and formula of the Green Goblin. Despite periods of recovery and genuine friendship, his inevitable descent into madness ultimately sealed his fate, turning a loyal best friend into one of Peter Parker’s most tragic adversaries.

🎃Sit back and relax as the Smark Avengers walk through the life and times of one of Peter Parker’s closest friends and most devastating enemies including:

• Norman selling his soul to Mephisto before he was even born
• His growing friendship with Peter Parker from acquaintances to best friends and roommates
• Drug addiction and discovering his father’s terrible secret
• Becoming the Green Goblin to avenge his father’s death at the hands of Spider-Man
• Amnesia, relapse, and death
• Returning as an evil A.I. and a clone with a second chance at life

All of this and more!
