### Appearance

#### As Norman Osborn

Norman is a Caucasian man with brown-red hair and grey eyes. Norman is always seen wearing a suit and tie. The only exception is when he was recovering from the make-shift Spider-Virus cure quickly made from Peter Parker's blood.

In Generations, Norman had burns across his face and was missing his left arm due to being trapped in that Oscorp lab and left in the fire. His suit appears to have burnt up in the fire from Hobgoblin Part 2, leaving Norman only in a t-shirt and his pants (with one of the pants legs partially missing).

### As Hobgoblin

As the Hobgoblin, despite the obvious difference in size between him and his son, Norman looked exactly the same as when Harry wears the armor. He used a voice modulator to mimic Harry's vocal disguise as the Hobgoblin.

### As Dark Goblin

As the Dark Goblin, Norman becomes a demonic-looking goblin figure of tremendous height and stature. The symbiote covers Norman in this form is both green and black in color. When Norman reveals his human face in this form, his pupils are entirely green, lacking an iris.

When injecting himself with Jackal's animal serums, the Dark Goblin symbiotes grows body parts of the animals from the serums (ex: a rhino's horn, spider legs).

## Personality

Despite his calm façade, Norman is very prideful and wants everything to go according to his plans. Whenever his plans to upstage (or to ruin) Horizon High and Max Modell fail because of Spider-Man or his employees he blames them rather than himself.

Norman also manipulates others to get what he wants, whether it be resources for Osborn Academy/Oscorp or to have people under his control such as his own son Harry.

Despite his true intentions, Norman does show his love for Harry throughout the series up until his presumed death.
