Ultimate Spider-Man cover spoils Green Goblin\u2019s identity but fans aren\u2019t surprised Marvel ComicsThe launch of Ultimate Spider-Man has also included a new Green Goblin, but fans weren\u2019t terribly surprised when a variant cover spoiled his identity. Ultimate Spider-Man has already challenged fan\u2019s expectations, bringing a surprise character back from the dead. The biggest tease from the first issue, though, is the reveal of a brand-new Green Goblin. Fans have wondered who the new character would be. The most obvious culprit, Norman Osborn, was already out, given his death in Ultimate Invasion, meaning the new Goblin could be anybody. There were plenty of guesses after the first issue. As it turns out, though, fans didn\u2019t have to wait for long. Warning, spoilers for Ultimate Spider-Man follow. New Green Goblin\u2019s identity spoiled by Ultimate Spider-Man #2 variant cover The official variant cover to Ultimate Spider-Man #2, released by Marvel Comics, appears to spoil the mystery before the first issue has even had time to settle on shelves. The cover, a companion piece to Ultimate Spider-Man #1\u2019s variant, appears to reveal Harry Osborn as the new Green Goblin. Fans weren\u2019t terribly surprised, though. Many had already guessed the twist based on Harry\u2019s brief appearance in the first issue. \u201cI mean with the knowledge that Norman is dead, this was a given.\u201d said one user. \u201cIf there\u2019s one thing I\u2019d learned from all the speculation around Venom in the PS5 game, it\u2019s that the obvious choice is usually the correct one. Funny that it ended up being Harry in both cases lol.\u201d added another, referring to the discussion leading up to Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2\u2019s release about the identity of Venom. \u201cIt was kinda easy to predict, based on Harry\u2019s speech,\u201d one user said. \u201cHopefully we have a great Goblin story, every Norman story has been absolutely shit for the last whatever years\u201d Harry appears briefly in the first issue, offering a eulogy at a memorial for those who died in the final attack of Ultimate Invasion. That attack claimed the lives of Norman Osborn and his wife, Emily, as well as Peter\u2019s Aunt May. \u201cHarry and Peter not knowing each other surprised me more than seeing Uncle Ben. so i\u2019m curious about their dynamic as Spidey and Goblin\u201d one user said. \u201cMy theory has been that because he wasn\u2019t Spider-Man Peter met MJ a lot sooner,\u201d one user said, speculating as to how Peter and Harry could have never met. \u201cPeter never dates Gwen, MJ never dates Harry. Peter and Harry only meet because of Gwen.\u201d Ultimate Spider-Man #2 releases February 21, 2024. The first issue, available now, has already been a smash hit with Spider-Man fans old and new.
