• American Son Conclusion · 23 pages

  Norman has manipulated Harry, knocked up and corrupted Lily and come close to beating Spider-Man to death while trying to learn his secret identity. Harry has had enough. He puts on the American Son armor and becomes the hero his dad always wanted him to be. He and Spider-Man battle Iron Patriot and Menace through Central Park. When Harry is finally given the chance to end his dad's life, he decides not to become a killer like his father, shedding his American Son armor as he walks away. Norman disowns Harry and anxiously awaits the birth of his new son by Lily.
