Ned Leeds

Ned Leeds was the best friend of Peter Parker since high school.

The Boy Who Was Bitten
Ned and his best friend Peter would visit the Osborn Laboratories with the rest of their class led by Mr. Harrington. There they met Gwen Stacy and the CEO Norman Osborn and they make fun, but are told off by Stacy. While Peter wanders off, Ned does see Flash Thompson following him and intervenes when Flash makes to much fun. Ned notices a change in Peter, when he returns to the group and they continue the tour.
