[ Harry barely listens to most of what Peter is saying. He's too self-concerned, too wrapped up in thinking about how there's a universe out there where he and Peter aren't best friends.
Is Peter better off, there?
But then the name 'Norman' cuts through the haze, and Harry barks a laugh laced with acid. ]
Let me guess. You're from one of those universes where my dad was some kind of supervillain or some shit.
What? Oh. One of? There's more than one like that? Jeez, that'sβ¦so much.
[ Whoops, just saying words. ]
No, I'mβ¦no. Actually, the Norman Osborn I met wasn't from my world. It's hard to explain, I don't really understand all of it.
[ He feels bad lying, but until he has any idea that Harry knows his secret identity, he has to keep it as separate as he can. ]
There was a pretty strange incident that happened where people from other universes ended up in mine. Norman was one of them. Otto Octavius was another. Do you know him? He's here too now, which is pretty wild.
I don't know the whole story in Norman's own universe. He wasn't just a supervillain. But he did really bad things in our universe.
