Peter realizes the symbiotic-suit is changing him for the worse. Peter gets into a fight with the club's bouncers and knocks MJ to the floor. In an effort to make MJ jealous, Peter brings Gwen to the nightclub where Mary Jane works. Influenced by the suit, Peter exposes and humiliates Eddie Brock, a rival freelance photographer, who has sold fake pictures to the Daily Bugle supposedly showing Spider-Man to be a criminal. With the help of the black suit, Peter is victorious in a brutal fight, which leaves Harry's face disfigured. Later, Peter finds him at the Osborn mansion. After Mary Jane leaves Peter, stating she is in love with another man, Harry meets him at a restaurant and claims to be the other man. Harry recovers from his amnesia, and, urged on by an apparition of his dead father, forces MJ to break up with Peter.

The shift in Peter's personality alienates Mary Jane, whose stage career is floundering, and she finds solace with Harry.

The black suit also alters Peter's personality, making him more violent and spiteful, exemplified by a near lethal attack on Sandman during a battle underground. The symbiote bonds with his costume while he is asleep Peter discovers that not only has his costume changed, but his powers have been enhanced as well. Captain Stacy later informs Peter and Aunt May that Marko is the one who killed Ben Parker, and a vengeful Peter waits for Marko to strike again. Later, during a festival honoring Spider-Man for saving Gwen Stacy's life, Sandman attempts to rob an armored car, and overpowers Spider-Man. The battle leaves Harry with short-term amnesia, making him forget his vendetta. Peter's best friend, Harry Osborn, who seeks vengeance for his father's death, which he believes Peter caused, attacks him. The result allows him to shape shift at will, becoming the Sandman. Meanwhile, escaped convict Flint Marko falls into a particle accelerator, which fuses his body with the surrounding sand. One night in a park, while Peter and Mary Jane are on a date lying in a huge spiderweb of his, a small meteorite crashes nearby, and an alien symbiote oozes out, attaching itself to Peter's moped. Peter Parker has begun to feel secure in his life and plans to propose to Mary Jane. 3 Continuity and References to the Spider-Man Universe.However, The DVD sales results of this film didn't meet industry expectations.
