Goblin Glider

The **Goblin Glider** was a weaponized aerial device utilized by Green Goblin, which he used as his primary method of transportation.

## History

### Creation

The Glider was designed by Mendel Stromm, Norman Osborn, and Oscorp, and was linked to a Flight Armor for Military purposes and was shown off to the Military whenever they check up on Oscorp projects. In 2002, Dr. Stromm showed off the Glider to General Slocum and the Oscorp board, mentioning how they were figuring out the horizon glide to finish it, however Slocum told Stromm to move on as he had already seen the Glider countless times.

### Green Goblin's Rampage

Later that night, Osborn tested a performance enhancer on himself, accidently causing Osborn to develop a second personality called the Green Goblin, which lead to Goblin killing Stromm, and steal the Pumpkin Bombs, Razor Bats, Tridents, Armor and Glider, before storing all of them in Oscorp Manor in a hidden room behind the mirror of the living room. A couple of weeks later, the Green Goblin used the Glider to bomb Quest Aerospace's Flight Armor killing many of Quest's personnel's and Slocum.

#### Attack on the World Festival

The Green Goblin would use the Glider months later, to attack the Oscorp board members during the World Unity Festival, heavily damaging the building they were on before using a Pumpkin Bomb to kill them. However, before the Green Goblin could attack Mary Jane Watson, Spider-Man knocked him off the Glider, causing it to crash into some scaffolding, which distracted Spider-Man enough for the Green Goblin to recover and summon the Glider to try to gun down Spider-Man, before pinning him to a wall. However, Spider-Man made his way to the bottom of the Glider and pulled some wires out, causing the Glider to fly chaotically away with Goblin on it.

#### Ambush on the Daily Bugle Office

Eventually, the Green Goblin repaired the Glider, and used it to smash into J. Jonah Jameson's office, to find out who took Spider-Man's photos for the *Daily Bugle*. However, Spider-Man himself arrived to save the newspaper editor, but the Green Goblin knocked him out causing him to fall from the building, but the Green Goblin used the Glider to catch him. That night, the Green Goblin offered Spider-Man to join him before using the Glider to fly away.

#### Final Showdown

Eventually Osborn learned that Peter Parker was Spider-Man, and the Green Goblin used the Glider to crash into May Parker's house to frighten her, causing her to be in a shocked state. The Green Goblin would finally abduct Mary Jane Watson to spite Parker. The Green Goblin would use the Glider to hevially damage a train cart to hold a group of innocents hostage to. The Green Goblin would drop both, the car and Watson from the Queensboro Bridge to make Parker choose. However, Parker was able to save both of them, leaving Parker open for attack. The Green Goblin flew the Glider with it's blades sticking out to kill Parker, however he was distracted by the civilians throwing junk on the Green Goblin.

The Green Goblin would eventually wrap a cable around Parker, and flew both of them to an abandoned building, before jumping off the Glider to try to finish Parker himself. However, Parker would get the upper hand on the Green Goblin, causing the Green Goblin to reveal himself as Osborn to distract Parker, while silently summon the Glider behind Parker, planning on impaling him on it. After the Green Goblin wished Parker godspeed, the Green Goblin had the Glider charge at Peter, only for Parker's enhanced senses to go off, and make Peter flip over the Glider in time, causing the Glider to fly to the other object in front of it, the Green Goblin. With Osborn now impaled, he begged Peter to not tell Harry what he had become, died on the Glider.

### Legacy

Parker would bring Osborn's corpse and armor to his Manor, making Bernard realize how Osborn had died, before putting it up in Goblin's lair, where it remained until Harry Osborn came across it, inspiring him to make his Sky Stick.

## Capabilities

The Goblin Glider is a weapon, a means of transportation, and a storage unit all in one. A number of Pumpkin Bombs are stashed in the machine, which the Green Goblin can retrieve at any time. He can also control the Glider remotely to either summon it or attack his foes with it.

At the front of the Glider are sharp prongs which the Goblin can use to impale his enemies, usually with lethal results. Which impaled and killed him while trying to murder Spider-Man. They can also slice metal.

## Trivia

* The Goblin Glider would later on appear with Osborn in the MCU movie *Spider-Man: No Way Home*.
* Although its design was tweaked for it, with the blades being shorter and farther apart on the wings, the front of the central thruster glows green instead of blue, and the larger purple panels on the wings being more smaller and spread out on the wings.
