Green Goblin (Norman Osborn)

## Origin

As a child, Norman Osborn became obsessed with wealth and fortune, Norman didn’t want to become a failure like his father who’s business was shut down after just 3 years of owning it. Norman grew up to be the co-owner of Oscorp, a science company, the other owner, Doctor Otto Octavius, left the company early on due to their questionable experiments and research. Norman therefore became the sole owner of Oscorp. Norman had a child later on in life called Harry Osborn who he often neglected in order to get on with his work, Harry felt as if his father didn’t love him as not only did he neglect him, he was ashamed of his low grades.

## Mayor

Norman later ran for Mayor of New York, to gain publicity, he held a ceremony to celebrate Jefferson Davis, a police officer who helped Spider-Man. At the podium Norman's area was bombed by the Inner Demons and Martin Li who nearly killed him, many people died at this ceremony, including Jefferson Davis

## Doctor Octopus

When Otto Octavius became Doctor Octopus he tried to kill Norman and ruin his career. To do this, Octavius released GR-27, a dangerous serum that was created by Norman, the serum was a virus that would kill who ever it infected if they didn't get the cure in time, Norman tried to stop this as he didn't want to lose his publicity but he was thrown off a skyscraper by Ock, luckily though, he was caught by Spider-Man.

## The Green Goblin

Norman Osborn later started working on a passion project to create super soldiers but after the GR-27 incident the board wouldn't back him, as he couldn't get any test subjects to show them, he used it on himself, the serum worked but it also turned him insane. Norman turned to crime, starting with killing all of the members of the board who denied him, this caught Spider-Man's attention and they fought, Norman was inevitably arrested. Though in prison he started going by The Green Goblin and wanted desperately to kill Spider-Man...

## Goblin Revealed

Later on, Spider-Man investigated to see who the Goblin was, his first idea was Harry Osborn but he didn't want to believe it since he was his best friend. Goblin took advantage of this and framed his own son for being the goblin, Spider-Man believed this until he saw the Goblin and Harry in the same place. He realised that Harry had been framed and found out that it was really Norman, he had Norman arrested once more.

## Spider's Identity...

Later on, Goblin learned Spider-Man's identity by testing some of his DNA, he wanted to take away everyone Peter loved most. He started with one of his best friends, Gwen Stacy. Goblin kidnapped Stacy and dropped her off the top of the Golden gate bridge, Spider-Man tried to catch her but the whiplash from the web snapped her neck. Spider-Man went crazy and fought Goblin but he escaped, Goblin then targeted Aunt May but Spider-Man saved her, Gobbies last target was Harry Osborn, his own son, he kidnapped Harry and tried to kill him but Spider-Man stopped him. Goblin escaped but Spider-Man wouldn't stop hunting him...

## The End of the Goblin

Spider-Man hunted down Goblin and they fought, Goblin tried to kill Spider-Man by impaling him with his glider but Peter caught the glider and stabbed Goblin with it, killing him. Harry Osborn found his body and saw Spider-Man swinging away, this angered him and when he found out that Gwen had died as well, he blamed Spider-Man and became the New Green Goblin…

## Return...

Norman's body was taken in for autopsy but when they were about to examine it, it had disappeared. For years nobody knew where Norman's body was but it turns out that the goblin formula had also granted him regenerative abilities, this allowed him to survive and for an entire year he was in hiding, ready to kill Spider-Man. He returned and fought the Spider, occasionally teaming up with the other Goblin, his son (Until Harry gave up the mantle and went back to a normal life). Norman stayed the Goblin though, determined to kill Spider-Man...
