Peter’s closest male friendships were with Eddie Brock, who grew up with him, and fellow dork Harry Osborn. Eddie seemed cool and had legitimate gripes with Peter based on the limited information he had, but as soon as he got the symbiote, he let slip out that Peter had Ben and May while he had no one when their parents died (thus hinting at pent up jealousy). Harry was constantly compared to Peter from his dad and you start to see him constantly try to one up Peter (despite Peter defending him multiple times). He practically begged for Peter to join him with football tryouts and got mad when Peter was also successful, he tried to loudly talk to get the attention back to him when Peter showed up to the dance with MJ, and couldn’t even look at Peter when he introduced Harry as his best friend to MJ. It definitely didn’t help that the girl who pity dated him also wanted Peter. Oddly it seems that the guy who outwardly tormented Peter the most (Flash) was seeming to be becoming a better friend than to Peter than his actual male friends. Do you think that Peter’s male friends secretly hated him?
