Pumpkin Bombs are grenades used as weapons by the Green Goblin.

History[]

Spider-Man[]

The Pumpkin Bombs come from the weapons arsenal of the Goblin's flying vehicle, the Goblin Glider. The bombs are used as explosive grenades, disintegration devices, and bladed boomerang-like devices – a version of the Gobin's Razor Bats from the comics. During his first appearance in the film, Goblin attacks Oscorp's Unity Day Festival, throwing a pumpkin bomb below a balcony that collapses as soon as it explodes. He also throws another bomb, this time a flashbang which disintegrates his targets, the Oscorp board members. The Goblin later lures Spider-Man into a burning building, and throws his Razor Bat pumpkins at Spidey, slicing his arm.

During the final battle when Goblin throws Spider-Man into an abandoned building, he throws another pumpkin bomb at Peter, which explodes in front of his face, blasting off half of his mask and sending him flying through a wall.

Spider-Man 3[]

Harry Osborn uses his father's Pumpkin Bombs when he becomes New Goblin. Harry, during his battle with Peter in his mansion, sends them both flying though the glass mirror and into the Goblin's lair. After the Sky Stick whacks Harry into a glass shelf containing pumpkin bombs, Harry throws one at Peter. However, Peter, under the influence of an alien symbiote, uses his webbing to deflect the attack and throw it right back at Harry. The bomb explodes right next to Harry, scarring the right side of his face.

Later, during the climax, Harry arrives at the construction site to save Spider-Man and Mary Jane from Sandman and Venom. He uses a pumpkin bomb on Sandman, which explodes and causes Sandman to collapse back into human form. Spider-Man later uses one of the Sky Stick's pumpkin bombs to destroy the symbiote that possessed Eddie Brock. Eddie attempts to save the symbiote by jumping into it, but is destroyed in the explosion along with the symbiote.

Spider-Man: No Way Home[]

After being transported into an alternate universe from shortly before his death, the Green Goblin used his pumpkin bombs to attack Peter Parker and Otto Octavius on a bridge before the two were teleported to the Sanctum Sanctorum by Stephen Strange.

Later, during the final battle at the Statue of Liberty, the Goblin appeared and destroyed the relic containing the corrupted spell with one of his pumpkin bombs, fracturing the multiverse. While struggling on the glider after the Goblin used it to knock him away before he can save Michelle Jones-Watson from falling to her death, resulting in Peter-Three having to save her himself, Peter-One managed to punch into its weapons store and pull out a pumpkin bomb. Peter-One used the pumpkin bomb to disable the glider's engines, causing it to crash.

Characteristics[]

The Pumpkin Bomb resembles a miniature Jack-o'-lantern and, when thrown, ignites almost soundlessly and produces enough heat to melt through a 3-inch (76 mm) thick sheet of steel. The Goblin stores these in his glider.
