Biography

Harry Osborn was just your average kid whose father owned a Fortune 500 company, with a silver spoon lodged squarely in the corner of his cute little baby face. Unfortunately, his mother Emily passed early in his life, and his memories of her are now dim at best. Raised by a string of nannies until he was old enough to actually interact with his father Norman, he became the clichéd child yearning for the single parental attention that was available to him.

His father had, of course, thrown himself into his work. It was easier than dealing with a crying baby, particularly with the grief of Emily's passing still fresh. And with important power plays due at Oscorp, Harry was mostly forgotten.

Still, he at least taught Harry how to ride a bike. And it was during a brief attempt at parenting that Harry was moved from private school into the public school system. An attempt to toughen his son up, to make him into a man.

It was there that Harry, being one of the popular kids, would meet the likes of Gwen Stacy, who in turn would introduce him to Peter Parker. They would be friends, after a rocky start, and Harry did what he could to help the poor nerd in exchange for some tutoring. Parker saw more than just the fancy car that dropped him off every day.

Watching his two friends start their relationship was truly sweet. But then the mounting chaos of the world seeped its way into the little sphere of happiness that Harry existed in.

Gwen died. A victim of the Spider-Man.

His father vanished around the same time, declared missing and presumed dead.

There's a great deal of wealth waiting for Harry Osborn once he comes of age, but for now, there's Columbia University, and a great deal of hatred for the Webslinger of New York. And there are these terrible nightmares, of his father in a green suit…

Character Details

Harry Osborn wasn't raised very well. He's a product of that upbringing, which in this case means he had some great tutors, some great nannies, but had very little interaction with his father Norman. Through the kids at his private school, he learned how to socialize with people his own age, and through the public school he was transferred to, he learned how to be popular. Money helps, and Harry's always got a good deal of that with him. It is part of who he is, that wealth, the sizeable inheritance that's towering over him, along with the controlling share of Oscorp.

Yet Harry himself was shaping up into a fine young man, until bad things happened to good people. Since the loss of one of the few real friends he had, young Osborn's anger is proving a mirror for his father's. The outside world, the tabloid reporters, they see a young man who's truly enjoying the lifestyle his money is affording him. A party brat, looking more and more like he's due to go off the rails any month now without his father around to guide him.

The injustices of the world are easily escaped, however, with the right substances. While Harry is a friendly guy, he most assuredly has problems. His father was never there, but now his father is gone. There's new pressures, meetings he has to be at with lawyers, accountants, his father's yes men that all say they just want to look after Harry until he can take over the family business.

Catch him on a good day, and he's quick-witted, charming. Catch him when the growing darkness has taken him, and you'll find a shade of his father, the wit turned sharp as a knife, the cuts thoughtful and deep.
