Now its been a while since ive heard bout this but i believe the mary and richard in that story were revealed to be fakes. I think Richard and Mary where actually Cold War spies that were killed in a plane crash.
I've never read these comics (I will soon, I've got the complete collection now), but wasn't the Green Goblin somehow involved? Or am I thinking of something else?
Doesn't matter anyway, because there is NO WAY this storyline EVER happened now.
Huh?
Harry Osborn was completely and totally behind the fake parents storyline.
Without changing history (because everything happened the same, duh ), there is simply NO WAY IN HELL that Peter Parker would forgive Harry for this, whether or not "new" Harry remembers doing it in this alternate time-line they've concocted.
Peter was DEVASTATED by this betrayal, he sunk so deep into depression and rage after this had happened.
You're gonna rationalize that Peter's OK with Harry now? Or simply pretend that maybe Peter doesn't remember it was Harry?
Either way, it's complete SHENANIGANS, or an ALTERED HISTORY. It's one or the other.
Harry's death has been substituted with a trip to Europe (it's an Osborn tradition!). It's not like Pete could go after him, nor would he try to get revenge when Harry came back, especially since Harry can't remember anything he did. And after all, Norman has done far and more worse to Peter, but he has never gone out and tried to get bloody revenge on him.
You should really dig up your old issues of that time in Spidey's history and actually read them before coming up with such a flimsy excuse.
Dig 'em up? I just recommended one earlier in this thread.
I remember just fine that part in Spidey's history. What's your point? It's not like Harry would have been around for Pete to try and kill him, he was off at rehab in Europe.
