I KNOW, RIGHT? I mean, at least when Bane blames some of his bad decisions on the Venom, he has the excuse that he didn't ACTUALLY DESIGN THE DRUG HIMSELF.

Harry actually fucked with the Goblin serum before Norman tested it on himself.

Fair, that was a bit of Spider-lore I never knew or forgot. Kind of interesting that it hasn't been emphasized much in later stories or adaptations, since it adds a pretty big wrinkle to the usual "Norman Osborn crazy and bad, Harry mostly tragic victim who sometimes performs bad actions" picture.

[cyberghostface]

Yeah it was just in an annual. Harry messed with it because Norman was ignoring him/being a shitty father, he didn’t know how disastrous it was going to be.

Harry looks like Spidey because Peter is experiencing his memories via some VR device Harry invented. I’ll try to post more later.

I think Mendell Stromm deserves some credit/blame, since it was his designs Osborn stole.

[tcampbell1000]

Sure, but if Osborn stole all the credit, he inherits the blame, and presumably he understood the work well enough once he analyzed it. Harry's involvement (see comment above) is more of a wrinkle, but as Norman would never give any credit/blame to Harry either, that doesn't factor into this hypothetical defense.
