Why does norman osborn favor peter parker over his son?

Norman Osborn, the industrialist behind Oscorp and the original Green Goblin, is driven by a relentless pursuit of power. In his view, the most valuable asset is someone capable of matching his intellectual ambitions. Peter Parker, with his quick wit and scientific acumen, fits that ideal. Consequently, Osborn openly favors Peter over his own son, Harry, whom he treats with cold distance. This favoritism reflects a broader pattern of Osborn’s strained paternal relationship and his prioritization of intellect over family ties.
