Insomniac's Spider-Man 2: Every CONFIRMED Detail We Know

5. Harry Is The New Venom

While calling Harry the new Venom may be something of a stretch, it's clear that he's suspended in a symbiote and that he's aware of his surroundings. The precedent for a villainous turn is there as well, with almost every single interpretation of Spider-Man having depicted the character's fall to becoming the new Green Goblin (616 continuity, as well as in the Raimi films), Hobgoblin (the Ultimate Spider-Man comic), or even Venom himself (the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon).

Harry's story was one of the game's most fascinating elements, and it's clear that the unspoken history shared between Pete, MJ and Harry is a really powerful one. Reconciling the nostalgia for Spidey's teenage years with him becoming an adult is one of the game's most enduring themes, and Harry's reemergence is sure to make those two worlds collide in dramatic fashion.

What's unclear is whether or not the symbiote has bonded with Harry. It's certainly in the same tank, and it reacts to Norman's touch, but it's not fully enveloped the younger Osborn in the way most would usually expect to. Add to that the fact we're still yet to discern whether or not the suit is alien in origin (Insomniac could just be following the manmade origin from Ultimate Spider-Man), and the only thing we do know is that it's there to keep Harry alive, along with whatever the green goo actually is too.
