Green Goblin Armor

The **Green Goblin Armor** is an exoskeleton developed by Oscorp to use for military purposes. It was later stolen by the Green Goblin, the insane alter-ego of Norman Osborn, who used it during his time as the Green Goblin.

## History

### Creation and Use

Oscorp Industries developed this exoskeleton to be used for the United States military, along with the use of a glider. The suit was created for military use, and is capable of absorbing most of impacts strength; it is also designed for withstanding the temperatures and pressures during flight. However, it was turned down by General Slocum, who was planning to sign the contract to Quest Aerospace and put Oscorp out of business.

Out of desperation, Norman Osborn tested the Goblin Formula on himself, which enhanced his physical prowess, but it developed a split alter, who called itself the Green Goblin. The Green Goblin stole the modified experimental Oscorp armor and the glider when in use. He used the suit in battle when targeting the Oscorp board members and Spider-Man. The original helmet was replaced by Osborn with a scary, monster like one that resembled a Goblin's face.

During his final confrontation with Spider-Man, the Goblin armor managed to withstand the impact from falling brick walls, though it got dusted by the bricks in the process. The Green Goblin got impaled by his own glider when he attempted to impale Spider-Man from behind. The Green Goblin Armor was later kept in a secret hideout at the Osborn Penthouse by Spider-Man when he gently carried Norman's body back to the penthouse.

Two years later, after Harry Osborn discovered Peter's dual identity, he also discovered his father's hidden lair where all of the Green Goblin's equipment was hidden there since the death of its previous user.

## Capabilities

*"He wore some sort of scaled green armor, glistening in the sun. It had a ribbed flexible look; in some ways it reminded her of the skin of an alligator. But it was layered with all manner of complicated circuitry that M.J. couldn't even begin to figure out. When he turned, ever so slightly, at the arms or the waist, there were little whispers of sound from servos or devices that seemed to be powering it. But the armor itself was nothing compared to the face: it was some sort of mask or helmet. With its glowing yellows eyes, the pointed ears that swept back, and the mouth that was permanently frozen into a demented grin with pointed teeth running along the top and bottom, it was the single most horrifying sight Mary Jane had ever seen."*
―Narrator in Chapter 17[src]
The armor was described as "a mechanical demon spat up from a techno hell, limber and tinted green, with a metal crest on its head, glowing yellow eyes, and a wide-open mouth filled with jagged teeth."

## Trivia

* In the comics, the Green Goblin armor was a simple clothing costume that was developed by Oscorp Industries and had the colors of purple and green that resembled a mythical Goblin. In the film, the armor was pure green and was not based on a Goblin's design.
