Ammotrechidae. Harry's past friendship with Peter and hostility to Spider-Man, as well as growing bitterness with Peter, haunt him, to the point where he imagines a visit from his father's ghost revealing the Green Goblin's hide out. In the end, Harry discovers Spider-Man's secret identity, and for the sake of the city and for his long-time friendship with Peter, he spares Peter's life. On the other hand, Harry seems especially grateful for a compliment that he has outdone his father's accomplishments, and also blames Peter for having been more respectable than Harry himself to Harry's father. On the one hand, Harry desires revenge on Spider-Man, who supposedly killed Harry's father.

Harry's relationship with the memory of his father is also complex. Upon consuming alcohol, a hostility to Peter surfaces, as Harry begins to blame Peter for tolerating Spider-Man, and for ruining Harry's onetime romance with M.J. Two years after his father's death, Harry has become an increasingly bitter personality, as demonstrated by his failure to laugh at jokes.

It is only at the end, when Peter makes him realize the true cost of his dreams, that he turns away from the tentacles' influence and reclaims his former identity. The AI in the tentacles then offer him an escape from his failure and agony, and a chance to rebuild his experiment, since it is all he has left; and he willingly listens to them and lets them guide him. His descent into villainy is often interpreted as possession by the mechanical tentacles, but it is far deeper than that: when we see him on the waterfront after the accident, he is a broken man, having lost his wife and his fusion dreams, and he is contemplating suicide ("These monstrous things [the tentacles] should be at the bottom of the river, along with me," he says).

This makes it all the more tragic and horrifying when we see what he becomes later on: a half-mechanical lunatic who is willing to risk destroying the city to realize his ambitions.

Dr. As Peter joyfully swings to the rescue, Mary Jane remains, still somewhat apprehensive of the bizarre and potentially dangerous relationship they have committed themselves to. She - almost forcefully - persuades Peter to finally be her boyfriend while accepting the need of his vows by letting him respond to a sudden call for help. She gatecrashes Peter's apartment, telling him that she has decided to live with him - despite the risks - because a full dangerous life is better than a half, carefree life.

In the end, MJ runs away from her marriage with John Jameson. But Peter tells her they can never be together, as he will always have deadly enemies, and MJ should spare herself the grief of coming too close to him. MJ finds out that Peter is Spider-Man, and is stunned and full of joy at the same time. He ends his doomsday experiment by drowning it, sacrificing his life and dying a hero("I will not die a monster!").

They fight a second time, and in the end, Doc Ock regains his sanity. Peter finds Doc Ock in an abandoned warehouse, where he holds MJ hostage and has just launched his doomsday experiment, which is clearly going rogue, just as the one at the beginning of the film (extending flares, sucking up and incinerating anything metal). Peter implores him to tell him where Doc Ock went, or MJ will be killed. Harry unmasks him and is shellshocked that Spider-Man is Peter Parker.

With an utmost effort, Peter stops the train before it falls from an unfinished bridge, is vanquished easily and brought before Harry. He has a great fight with Doc Ock, and the crazy scientist forces Peter to rescue a rogue train. This shock brings back Peter's powers. Then he abducts her.

Doc Ock threatens Peter and tells him to tell Spider-Man to fight him, unless he wants MJ killed. Because he knows that Peter and Spider-Man are close (although he does not know that they are the same person), he attacks Peter. But before things can go on, they are attacked by Doc Ock. She arranges a meeting with Peter, and although she is very fond of him, Peter's secretive behaviour estranges and intrigues her.

MJ remembers the upside-down kiss she had with her saviour Spider-Man in the first film, and that Peter's kiss suspiciously felt the same. In the meanwhile, Doc Ock and Harry Osborn make a deal: Harry supplies him with tritium for his experiment, and the Doctor agrees to capture Spider-Man for him. Peter and MJ connect once again, but as MJ is engaged, it seems too late. As Peter has much more spare time now, his relationships improve.

Peter temporarily gives up Spider-Man. announce their engagement and he loses his powers due to a form of burn-out syndrome. Peter's morale hits a nadir when Harry lashes at him in a drunken rage, MJ and Jameson Jr. "Doc Ock", as he is now called (due to the metal tentacles wired to his spine), desperately wants to rebuild his experiment, and Spider-Man must stop him from robbing a bank.
