History

Harry Osborn's life on Earth-TRN911 apparently replicates that of his Earth-616 counterpart up until his university days, including being the son of insane industrialist Norman Osborn, who was also the supervillain Duende Verde but repressed the memories of those events; and probably having a violent encounter with Kraven el Cazador.[1]

On Earth-TRN911, Harry Osborn was a university student, friends with several of his classmates, including Gwen Stacy, "Flash" Thompson, Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. They were also friends with exchange student Klaus de Lichtenbad, who eventually left the United States to return to Lichtenbad.[2] Gwen Stacy, who had been Peter's girlfriend, also moved to London, England.[3] Harry was good friends with Peter, even if his father disapproved Peter because Norman perceived Peter as a weakling and wanted Harry to have strong, resolute friends to shape Harry as a worthy heir for Norman's company.[4] Unaware that Peter was el Hombre Araña, Harry had a personal feud against the masked adventurer and wanted to destroy him.[5]

Harry wanted to spend more time with his father and made an effort in his studies to impress him, so as to earn a shared vacation in Europe that Norman had promised him; but the older Osborn reneged on his words. When Harry mentioned his friend Peter, Norman reprimanded him once again for keeping his company. Harry left his father alone, and then Norman had a breakdown, turning into el Duende Verde once more.[4] As el Duende Verde knew Peter's secret identity as el Hombre Araña,[6] el Duende Verde left to try and destroy el Hombre Araña. Due to a hallucination-inducing gas used by el Duende Verde, el Hombre Araña thought he was marrying Gwen Stacy, and in his delusion met Harry in the ceremony. Hearing about his son, el Duende Verde had a new breakdown and turned into Norman Osborn once more, forgetting about his secret identity; el Hombre Araña, recovering, decided to not apprehend Norman Osborn.[4]

After Gwen returned to New York City and retook his romance with Peter,[7] Harry thought of Mary Jane as his girlfriend -an opinion that was debatable in the group of friends-, and he got angry whenever Peter proved to be more interesting to her than Harry was. When Peter obtained top score in a test, Mary Jane was openly impressed and described Peter as an up-and-comer. Harry almost came to blows with Peter to stop him from "stealing" Mary Jane, even if Peter insisted Mary Jane was not taken.[8]

While in the last year of University studies, Harry and his peers attended a science class where Señor Dervey of the Corporación Electrónica introduced his Robot Computador. In class, Harry mocked Peter for being the apple of the teacher's eye. Peter replied and the discussion escalated quickly, even with Mary Jane trying to calm them down. During the demonstration of the robot, the students were asked to provide a question for the device to answer, and Harry suggested el Hombre Araña's secret identity. The robot wrote a coded answer in a sheet of paper, which Peter was to decode manually. Harry asked Peter to give up the paper, as it was valuable and Peter was too weak to keep it; Peter, fearing that the answer may be true, refused. The teacher, who had noticed the enmity, proposed them to solve this in a boxing match the gym,[note 1] and Harry claimed to have been preparing for that for months. However, Peter dodged every one of Harry's attack, and hit him once with enough strength to drop him; Harry refused to believed Peter had had anything but sheer luck, but admitted that he couldn't land one single blow. During the fight, corrupt technicians tried to steal the robot and caused it to go berserk; shrieks for help distracted Harry, making him turn his head at a critical moment, and then Peter knocked him down. Peter took Harry to the dressing room, then went to confront the robot. Harry woke up, trying to think of an excuse for his defeat, then by chance stumbled with the criminal technicians, so that they could be apprehended. Then Peter took the chance to accuse Harry of being el Hombre Araña, as Harry captured the criminals "easily", had not been seen when el Hombre Araña was fighting the robot, and was similar to el Hombre Araña in shape.[5]

When Klaus became Ruler of Lichtenbad and returned to the US, he offered Harry and his other friends to visit his country. They agreed, but there was a rebellion there and Parker prompted Flash and Osborn to return to the U.S.[2]

Harry attended a University costume dance, wearing just an elegant suit. He approached a man disguised as el Hombre Araña (really corrupt politician Roger Steves) to congratulate him for his taste.[9]

At a later point, when Gwen and Peter stood their friends up to go on a date when the group had plans, Harry and Flash complained and grumbled, agreeing that this was becoming the norm, but with Harry claiming to want violence against Peter. By then, Harry had a reputation of being frequently angry at Peter.[10]

Personality

Initially Harry was in very good terms with Peter Parker, even though his father opposed to their friendship.[4] Eventually, Harry started getting angry at Peter, because he and his girlfriend Gwen made plans together instead of going out with the group of friends[5] and because Harry's romantic interest Mary Jane Watson was favorably impressed at Peter's intelligence and charms, so Harry was worried of Peter "stealing his girl".[8]

Attributes

Abilities

Harry claimed to know how to box.[5]

Notes

  1. This is something unusual for university students of science, and far more likely in high school. This is because the story adapts Amazing Spider-Man #8, which takes place in Peter's high school years, replacing a couple characters (using Harry instead of Flash Thompson, for instance), notwithstanding the fact that this story had been translated and published for the Mexican readers in the same series as Amazing Spider-Man (MX) #8
