Peter's personality change

Harry is pushing it too far, he's deliberately provoking Peter. Even with Peter's good temper, he can't withstand this kind of provocation and humiliation, especially considering the recent influence of the Venom symbiote on his mindset.

Back in his rundown apartment, Peter, with a face full of resentment, becomes increasingly angry. He has been putting a lot of effort into protecting this city, taking various risks to fight criminals, and is this what he gets in return?

Maybe it's time for a change in his image.

He turns to the box containing the black Spider-Man suit...

Outside the video, Gordon spreads his hands, "Well, it seems the Spider-Man we saw before was just an appetizer; the main course is yet to come."

"Peter, your personality is a bit too soft. This version of Spiderman might suit you better," Arthur persuades, "You've been suppressing your true nature! It's not good; you need to learn to change, to have your own temper!"

Peter scratches his head, "Uh, I know, I know, but I don't think there's anything wrong with how I am now."

Compared to the aggressive Spider-Man, the normal Peter does seem a bit soft, but that's normal. Kindness and a good temperament are his labels, and different superheroes have their own personalities.

The sensitive and arrogant Iron Man, the suspicious and stern Batman, and the kind and down-to-earth Spider-Man...

Through exposure in Quiz games, people have formed inherent impressions of these superheroes. Most importantly, Peter has been living like this for decades, and he doesn't want to become someone else or succumb to darkness.

Bruce glares at Arthur, warning, "You're fine, Peter. You're fine the way you are now. Venom is like poison; it will continuously erode your heart and eventually lead you into the abyss!"

"Yes, Mr. Bruce, I know that. I'll stay away from it," Peter assures, considering he hasn't encountered Venom yet.

In the video, Peter has already put on the black Spider-Man suit. That night, he can't resist seeking out Harry. If he were his normal self, he would have stewed in his anger at home until he completely rationalized and accepted the situation.

But in the black Spiderman suit, Peter is completely different. He confronts Harry to expose him as the Green Goblin so that Mary Jane knows he's a villain!

If it were the normal Spider-Man, he would never do something so extreme. After all, Peter is unaware that Harry has regained his memory, concealing the truth about his father's death to resolve the grudge and preserve their friendship.

But now, Peter doesn't care about all that; he just wants to vent his frustration!

Harry, of course, doesn't mind that. He enjoys seeing Peter in this furious state and even talks about how delicious Mary Jane's lips are, deliberately provoking Spiderman.

He doesn't know that the Spiderman in front of him is a time bomb ready to explode. Peter doesn't hesitate; he punches him without a word.

Spider-Man has gained quite a bit of strength. Harry, taken aback by his friend's sudden aggression, quickly fights back, activating the Green Goblin's device.

But he is no match for Spider-Man, quickly getting knocked around and ultimately being thrown into a secret room after breaking through the glass.

Spiderman doesn't show any mercy, hitting Harry hard, and leaving him bruised and battered. Many viewers, who hated Harry for his previous schemes to disgust Spider-Man, cheer as they find his punishment satisfying.

Spider-Man not only doesn't hold back physically but also verbally. After knocking Harry down, he sarcastically mocks, "You know, your father never respected you. You were an embarrassment to him. Look at this little Goblin Jr, gonna cry."

Harry is enraged, and charges toward Peter, but Peter without even looking back, walks away. However, Harry, still angry, picks up a pumpkin bomb from the ground and throws it at Peter.

Peter, with his spider-sense, senses it without turning his head, dodges the bomb, and simultaneously shoots a web to pull it back, much to Harry's horrified gaze, the pumpkin bomb returned to his face.

Fortunately, the bomb didn't directly hit him; it exploded in close proximity, engulfing the area in flames. However, Peter, undeterred, casually continued on his way.

Witnessing this, many exclaimed, "Wow, this Spiderman seems a bit intimidating. Is he really planning to kill Harry... What do you guys think!"

"It's not that extreme. In my opinion, Spiderman isn't really 'bad.' Just think about it; if Batman faced a similar situation, he'd probably do the same. It's just that the previous Spider-Man was too gentle, making the contrast seem drastic."

"Exactly, Harry brought this upon himself. Spider-Man, though not showing mercy, wasn't trying to kill anyone. It's Harry insisting on throwing bombs; it's similar to his dead father. Even if he got blown up by a bomb, it's his own doing!"

"Is the bad Spiderman scary? I don't think so. I'd say he's become a bit more bold than before, but as long as he doesn't surpass Batman's level, I can accept it."

Well, Batman seems to have become the benchmark for determining whether superheroes are turning bad.

In the video, Peter doesn't seem intent on removing the symbiote Spiderman suit. As he walks down the street, he adopts a completely different posture, exuding a changed demeanor, even his walking style becomes somewhat arrogant.

Of course, the more significant change is in his interactions with others. Peter accidentally sees a recent newspaper with a photo smearing him – Spider-Man allegedly robbing a bank! Without hesitation, he heads straight to the Daily Bugle. Coincidentally, he finds Eddie, the photographer who took that picture, and secures a job, leaving the news outlet owner to celebrate with champagne.
