Green Goblin (Earth-TRN688)

**Norman Virgil Osborn** is an amoral industrialist who is the president & CEO of Oscorp. After taking an experimental serum, Osborn lost most of his sanity & developed a split personality, eventually becoming the maniacal **Green Goblin**.

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

**Goblin Formula:** Thanks to the chemical composition of the Goblin Formula, Osborn gained the following abilities:

* **Superhuman Strength:** Osborn can easily overpower humans by lifting them up with one hand or by hurling them around. He can also lift extremely heavy objects, crush & break through wood panels & templates, bend metal, & can punch through glass without gaining injury.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Osborn can run & operate at superhuman speeds.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Osborn can operate or maintain his movements for up to a day without exhausting himself.
* **Superhuman Durability:** The formula also fortified all of Osborn's bodily tissues, making them far tougher & more resistant to injury than normal humans. While Osborn can be injured by something along the lines of a knife or small conventional bullets composed of conventional material, he is very resistant to great impact forces & blunt trauma. He can withstand powerful impacts, such as falling from several stories or being repeatedly struck by a superhuman enemy, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no injury to himself.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** If Osborn does sustain injury, his body's increased metabolism allows him to heal damaged tissue much faster & more extensively than a normal human is capable of. He can even heal from injuries that would prove lethal to an ordinary human. For example, Osborn survived being impaled by his Goblin Glider & made a full recovery with only a scar left on his chest.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Osborn's agility, balance, & bodily coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** His reflexes are similarly enhanced & are superior to those of the finest human athlete.

### Abilities

**Indomitable Will:**

**Gifted Intelligence:** Even before consuming the Goblin Formula, Norman was extremely smart & intelligent, was extremely skilled with mathematics & science, possessing an immense knowledge of chemistry & the side-effects of drugs on humans & animals. The Goblin Formula enhanced Osborn's mental capacities & creative talents. Aside from his physical advantages, the serum also greatly enhanced Norman's already highly above average intellect, making him capable of making progress in advanced areas of genetics, robotics, engineering, & applied chemistry that most professional scientists can scarcely comprehend.

**Expert Marksman:** As the Green Goblin, Norman uses various hand-held throwing weapons such as explosives & razor projectiles which he will throw with great aim rarely ever missing his target. He is also a skilled sharpshooter with various firearms.

**Skilled Combatant:** He is a skilled unarmed combatant that is capable of using most weapons proficiently.

### Weaknesses

**Dissociative Identity Disorder:** After being exposed to the Goblin Formula, Norman Osborn developed mental instability & adopted the persona of the Green Goblin.

## Equipment

### Weapons

**Pumpkin Bomb:** The Green Goblin created & utilized various concussive, incendiary, & other specialized explosives in his career, most in the form of miniature jack-o'lantern-shaped grenades. The Goblin usually carries these in a shoulder bag, nicknamed his "bag of tricks".

* **Concussive:** The original variant of the pumpkin bomb was little more than a flash-bang designed to disorient opponents.
* **Incendiary:** The incendiary grenades ignite almost soundlessly & release enough heat to melt through a three-inch thick sheet of steel.
* **Smoke/Gas:** He also carries a variety of smoke & gas-emitting bombs, which are surrounded by a light plastic mantle that flutters like a wraith when the bomb is thrown. Other gas bombs emit hallucinogenic gases, & others release a specially concocted gas.

**Razor Bat:** The Green Goblin sometimes throws razor sharp bat-shaped projectiles which can slice into or ram & impale themselves into opponents.

### Transportation

**Goblin Glider:** His "goblin glider" is capable of great maneuverability & speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. It is capable of supporting about 400 pounds including Norman's weight (& far more for very brief periods of time). Top speed & a full normal load will exhaust the fuel supply in about one hour. The main microprocessor-assisted manual controls are behind the head of the glider, & later modifications add voice-activated radio-linked controls integrated into the Green Goblin's mask. The Goblin Glider is steered primarily, however, by the weight & attitude of its rider. The Goblin's boots lock into the stirrups of the glider electromagnetically.

### Other Equipment

**Electrical Discharges:** The Green Goblin's gloves are interwoven with microcircuit-conducting filaments capable of high-frequency electrical discharges - variously referred to as Goblin Sparks, Goblin Blast, & Sparkle Beams - from rechargeable power packs in both his glove cuffs & costume tunics. They have the capacity to discharge for up to five minutes of sustained fire before depleting their power supplies.

**Bag of Tricks:** In addition to the common Goblin weapons, there are many others in the bag of tricks like a crescent moon boomerang, a ghost that is stronger than steel, a toad that can emit sonic blasts, and can carry many other weapons in it most of which are unrevealed.
