## Personality

Norman is a selfish, ruthless, arrogant, and corrupt businessman, craftily disguised behind a political mask. A man of considerable wealth, he often spends money illegally for his own interests and abuses his position, violating citizens' rights to hire a private military group in place of the NYPD or carry out clandestine experiments. Norman has a powerful self-righteous streak, refusing to accept responsibility for his mistakes.

Despite his ruthless nature, he deeply loves his son and deeply loved his deceased wife, and possibly cares about those close to him or his family. It is revealed that his desire to perform genetic experiments are not for his own selfish needs, but so that he can find a cure for his ill son.

## Abilities and Powers

The co-founder and CEO of OsCorp, Norman specializes in scientific pioneering. He is recognized for his technological innovations in the field of medical science. Norman is also a business and political mastermind, having transformed his company into a multibillion-dollar multinational corporation in addition to being elected the Mayor of New York City.

With his immensely large fortune, Norman is able to employ cutting-edge research facilities that secretly develop the methods to rehabilitate his ill son, as well as hire the services of Silver Sable's elite task force. Norman has also developed and has access to technologies which are deemed ahead of their time, such as experimental regenerative nanotechnology, experimental focus enhancers, and small, highly accurate missiles on display at Grand Central Station. Of particular note are his plans for a small drone/glider for the purposes of carrying medical supplies into war zones.

Additionally, he has a working prototype for a combat helmet which can see structural weaknesses, and small grenade-like prototypes in his penthouse.

Norman's unmatched political gamesmanship, natural charisma, and high social confidence enable him to masterfully appeal to popular desires and prejudices when addressing people, often championing the cause of the common people and gaining their support. He is quick to use various events throughout the city towards advancing his political career, such as organizing an award ceremony for Officer Davis after the latter is lauded for his heroism, which is really only to boost Norman's re-election campaign.

## History

### Past

#### Early Life

Norman Osborn was born in Hartford, Connecticut. At the age of 16, he lost both his parents, scientists Amberson and Martha Osborn, to a car crash, leaving him an orphan. As an adult, Norman became friends with Otto Octavius after being assigned as lab partners in college. The two went on to found OsCorp Industries, hoping to change the world. With Norman's natural charisma and Otto's scientific genius, Oscorp quickly became one of the top scientific corporations in the world. In the 1980s, Norman met and married an environmental attorney named Emily Lyman.

As Otto would reveal years later, Norman became increasingly obsessed with genetics, likely in response to Emily's diagnosis with Oshtoran Syndrome in 1984. It is presumed to be around this time that Norman ordered the development of GR-27, an experimental genetic therapy, in order to cure his wife's disorder, ignoring the obvious risks of the imperfect treatment.

In 1986, Norman had GR-27, which had earned the nickname "Devil's Breath" from the lab technicians, administered on then seven-year-old Martin Li, who had come to Oscorp with his parents for a medical consultation. The treatment went horribly wrong: Li somehow gained superhuman powers, causing an explosion that killed the boy's parents. The incident resulted in Otto quitting Oscorp, as well as ending his friendship with Norman. Otto would go on to start his own company, Octavius Industries.

Around 1995, Norman and Emily had a son named Harold (nicknamed "Harry"). Sadly, Emily succumbed to complications of Oshtoran Syndrome before Devil's Breath could be completed, around the early 2000s. Years later, Norman was elected Mayor of New York City, while still managing Oscorp as its CEO. During his tenure as Mayor, Norman carried out many of his promised initiatives, from an environmental research program to a city-wide crime monitoring system.
