Ultimate Spider-Man #4 offers a surprising twist to Peter Parker’s origin story. In this issue, it’s not Uncle Ben, but Harry Osborn, who delivers the iconic ‘with great power’ quote that has traditionally guided Peter’s superhero journey. This unexpected change has raised concerns among fans, who speculate that it could foreshadow a tragic fate for Harry, given his troubled past in Spider-Man comics.
Harry has often struggled with his father Norman Osborn’s abusive behavior, leading to a split personality and transformation into the monstrous Hobgoblin in one reality. On another Earth, he became The Lizard due to social isolation. While Harry’s current fate remains uncertain, solicitations for upcoming issues indicate that he and Peter will continue their partnership for the foreseeable future. However, fans remain wary, anticipating that destiny may eventually catch up with Harry, as it has with so many Harrys before him.
