Harry Osborn (Character) - Comic Vine Harry Osborn The Harry Osborn wiki last edited by N00beditor3 on 10/28/16 06:51PM View full history Origin Harry Osborn was the son of wealthy industrialist Norman Osborn, and often felt like he led his father down. He however graduated highschool and then enrolled in Empire State University with his friend Gwen Stacy . They rapidly became friends with fellow clasmate Flash Thompson . Flash was a star football player and tried to introduce Peter Parker to Gwen and Harry. Peter was worried about his Aunt May being poisoned by his radioactive blood at the time and so didn’t respond to Flash's attempt at introductions very well.

Gwen, Harry and Flash didn’t appreciate Peter's seemingly "snobbish" attitude towards them at the time. This caused the group to first dislike Peter. Creation Harry Osborn was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man Vol.1 issue 31 (1965). Major Story Arcs College Years As a consequence of Peter's apparent snobbish attitude, Flash and Harry tried to annoy Peter. Little by little though, Peter reconciled with Harry and they became friends. That is why when Norman Osborn , Harry’s father, paid for a huge apartment for two, Harry asked Peter to be his housemate and Peter accepted. Everything in Harry's life seemed great. He had good friends, and a gorgeous girlfriend ( Mary Jane ). But then MJ dumped him and his father started putting intense pressure on him by laying all of his hopes on Harry. As a consequence of all this, Harry fell on drugs. Peter, as his roommate luckily soon found out and tried to help Harry as much as he could. The largest battle would be for Harry himself however. Harry went to Detox which healed him physically but left him still psychologically weak.

Legacy of Death After the death of the Green Goblin during a battle against Spider-Man and the discovery of the real identity of Spider-Man , Harry Osborn became totally mad. He decided to follow in the footsteps of his father and become the new Green Goblin. He was defeated by Spider-Man and Harry ended up in a psychiatric hospital. Harry would regain his previous life. He met a girl named Liz Allen and she became his girlfriend. After a number of months together, Harry proposed to her and Liz accepted. The married couple where soon joined by a child together, named Norman Osborn Jr, in honor of his seeming dead father. Harry however sometimes had trouble running from the hidous legacy that his father left him as the Green Goblin. He was treated for this by a psychiatrist, but this doctor turned out to be quite insane himself, donning the Green Goblin suit. At first, it was thought that Harry had taken over the identity of his father, but soon it was discovered by Spider-Man that it was in fact Harry's own psychiatrist.

Falling into Madness and Seeming Death Harry's last moments alive with his best friend When Hobgoblin tried to obtain the Green Goblin formula from Harry, Harry decided to again wear the costume of Green Goblin in order to protect his family. But Harry fell into madness and began to attack Spider-Man . During a battle, Harry launched a bomb inside the Osborn Foundation where Norman Osborn Jr and Spider-Man were. Realizing what he had done, Harry regained his sanity and saved everyone including Spider-Man. Harry collapsed dead outside the building, poisoned by the f ormula. He died in the end. Brand New Day Harry Returned? The Brand New Day arc actually resurrected Harry (seemingly to have never died so technically he was not resurrected i guess) he was actually studying abroad and getting his life back in order, or as normal as a millionaire play boy with super powers, and son of insane ex-super villain father with ultimate power and control could. Harry comes back into Peters life seemingly never to have died, recovered from his drug addiction and made amends for his actions as the 2nd Green Goblin. As usual he is still quite the ladies man and the foil to his best-est friend in the world Peter Parker.

Of course for anyone in Peter Parker's life things are never boring or quiet for very long. Harry is actually in a good place in his life but of course this does not last, he has found found love with a girl named Lily Hollister whose father is running for mayor. His dad, Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin aka Iron Patriot dis mantling S.H.I.E.L.D , forming H.A.M.M.E.R in its place and rising to power during Dark Reign this is only part of Harry's troubles. While he maybe happy a new foe starts creating discord for Spider-man, the Hollister campaign and well everyone in the city. The new mysterious foe is another Goblin type enemy named Menace, of course Peter fears it to be Harry, which it is not, but things do not get better from there. While attacking the Hollister campaign Harry actually resorts to once again wearing his goblin outfit and hopping on a goblin glider to help Spider-man stop Menace, though this goblin "flash back" moment is temporary it still worries Peter. Even more amazing it still get worse for Harry ... one night he walks in on Lily changing, but she was not changing clothes she was changing from her Menace form.

MENACE IS HARRY'S GIRLFRIEND LILY. He watched in horror as she was not wearing a costume but she physically changed shape, from the horrid gray horned goblin into the beautiful blond Lily. Lily reveals she was exposed to the goblin formula when she happened to come across a cache of hidden goblin gear but the two work things out ... sort of. They decide she has to somehow be cured of her goblin abilities but ... they break up then get back together get engaged and unengaged and Harry even becomes a father to be when she reveals that she is pregnant with Harry's child. The news of her pregnancy causes him to think differently and do something he hoped he would not have to. Lily's pregnancy leads Harry to join his father’s regime, Norman had offered him a spot in his "company" but Harry declined, but in his time of need he felt he had to. Harry is surprised to hear his father to be happy he joined but more shocked when he said he was proud of him. Norman even had a plan for Harry which involved something called the "American Son" project.

He joins his dad but actually, Harry's main focus is to help cure and protect Lily and their child she is carrying. Harry is actually and unknowingly playing into his father’s hand as he becomes the pawn Norman was hoping for. Spider man infiltrates Avenger Tower to get Harry out of there but is eventually found out, mainly due to Harry calling him out by saying: "That's not your Spider Man." While Spider-Man is beaten and tortured Harry learns a lot...... I mean A LOT. Revelations galore, it is eventually revealed how truly heartless and selfish his father, Norman, actually is. Norman had planned on using Harry as a new addition to the Avengers not because he would be a good addition but because having a patriotic father son duo as the face of the Avengers would help with Normans public image and relations. He also thought he would seem more palatable to the public with the America Son by his side because of his past. The creepiest part was Normans back up plan for his son, of course Norman planned for Harry's betrayal or his lack of "results" as American Son.

He decided that if Harry did not suffice or double cross him he would have Harry become an "example hero" of sorts and actually become a martyr to help his father’s image, basically he would have Harry killed and make it seem like he died a noble death. Possibly the worst revelation is Harry can look forward to the birth of his new baby brother not his son...pretty not cool how that goes down. Menace/Lily has had a further transformation thanks to tampering courtesy of Norman. Turns out Lily never wanted cured and Norman used her to get Harry to join him. So basically Harry is not only heart broken but also betrayed, and used. His experience and turmoil with the Avengers comes to an explosive and brutal conclusion with armor vs armor, ex goblin vs ex goblin, father vs son Iron Patriot vs American Son battle that ends quite unexpectedly. Harry of course dons the American Son armor, but for a more detailed account refer to the American Son character profile. Sometime later Harry decides to go to a psychiatrist to help him with his recent ordeal while there he is offered narcotics by the doctor (who was unaware of his past addiction issues) and Harry inclines and accepts the prescription.

Since the falling out with his father Harry no longer has millions in the bank. He is now a hard working janitor at a coffee shop but a surprise visit from the newly returned Mary Jane Watson reveals how desperate he has become. Harry has had to resort to living in the janitors office. Luckily for Harry Peter actually offers his old room at Aunt Mays house for him to stay at. Harry of course accepts graciously and lets Pete know hes a great friend but turns out it was not Peter...but it was Peter...well his face at least. The real Peter had been kidnapped by his old nemesis the Chameleon, sure he thought he had killed Peter like he does most identities he takes but he always help that person out or those he associates with. Well after Peter dispatched the Chameleon he starts looking for a new place to stay and one stop he makes is at his Aunt Mays. To Peters surprise he sees Harry on the couch getting cozy with his cousins and he realizes what the Chameleon did so Peter leaves still searching for a new home.

Back to the danger part of being friends with Peter Parker, while Peter/Spider-man deals with a new foe, Raptor, who thinks Pete is Ben Riley and killed his family he goes after Aunt Mays house. Peter rushes to make sure his family is alright but Raptor is already there holding Peters cousins and Harry at gun point. Luckily during the conflict between Kaine, Peter and Raptor they all get set free and all thanks to Harry tackling Kaine. After the fire is put out, three disappear, and the cops leave Peter sits with an ice pack on his head claiming to have been thrown through the wall. Harry even remarks how much the big hairy guy looked like Peter, if he bulked up a bit and grew a beard. Alternate Realities Earth 1610 (Ultimate Universe) Like the 616 version he is son of Norman Osborn a rich industrialist and creator of Oscorp and he befriends Peter Parker. Harry is attacked by his father after he originally becomes the Green Goblin and after the goblin killed his mother. Harry goes to live with his uncle for awhile after the attack but eventually goes back to his father.

Harry is brainwashed by his hypnotherapist Miles warren to repress memories of previous events like his mothers death, seeing his father transform and countless other traumatic things. During a battle with spider man Harry is able to stop his father by reaching out to him (which was a surprise and it was a surprise it worked due to their history and personalities). Harry is later taken in to S.H.I.E.L.D custody "for his protection" but he is eventually used to bargain with Norman. Due to to mental tampering by miles Warren, Harry develops a secondary personality known as Shaw, Shaw was created because of influence by Norman via his influence on Harry's psychiatrist (oh what a tangled web). Harry eventually becomes the Ultimate universes version of the Hobgoblin this is due to his exposure to the OZ formula during the initial Oscorp explosion. Like his father the Ultimate Green Goblin, Harry posses a goblin form that grants him super human strength, durability, amazing reflexes ,stamina, healing factor, pyrokinesis and limited sanity (its possible this is mainly because of Norman and Miles Warrens mental influence and not the OZ formula but the Oz formula does have an affect because of its side effects).

Unlike his doppleganger, the Green Goblin, Harry's goblin form is Orange and has a much more demonic appearance. In a fight with Spiderman Harry tries control himself but eventually loses control goes berserk due to the actions of his hidden persona Shaw. Shaw actually turns out to be a henchman that is supposedly a sleeper agent for Norman, his original conception and intent was to break Norman out of jail by causing Harry to transform and using his goblin powers to do this. In an ever so climactic battle against his father Harry meets his demise, because during the battle Norman surprisingly does gain the upper hand during the fight and kills Harry. In a rare act of humanity Norman realizes what he has done and weaps (a little) and begs the S.H.I.E.L.D Agents to kill him. They shoot the crap out of but he survives because he is seen later escaping from the Triskelion. In Other Media Film Harry Osborn was portrayed by actor James Franco in the Sam Raimi trilogy of Spider-Man films.

Just before Norman dies of a rare blood disease (which Harry also has), he tells his son that a transfusion of Spider-Man's blood may be able to save him. Realizing he too is dying, Harry urges his childhood friend Peter to convince Spider-Man to offer up a sample of blood to save him. When Spider-Man (who Harry does not realize is Peter) refuses, he takes actions into his own hands.

Merchandise Dane DeHaan IS Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2! - CraveOnline The Montreal producer teams up with the Grammy winning singer for the new song of the week. Dane DeHaan IS Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2! The star of Chronicle will play The Green Goblin's son in Marc Webb's follow up. Plus, Jamie Foxx confirmed as Electro! — Marc Webb (@MarcW) December 3, 2012 That's right, as rumored , Dane DeHaan has been cast as Harry Osborn, Peter Parker's best friend from the Spider-Man comics and the son of Norman Osborn, aka "The Green Goblin," who in Marc Webb's first Amazing Spider-Man movie was the lynchpin of the storyline, and the indirect (and possibly even direct) cause of Peter Parker's superpowers and the disappearance of his parents. DeHaan made a serious impression earlier this year in Chronicle , a found footage superhero movie that highlighted the actor's talent for playing teenagers with a dark side.

Since then, DeHaan has appeared in films like the Depression Era crime saga Lawless, for which he did an interview with CraveOnline last week in which he remained very coy about his potential involvement with the superhero sequel. The last actor to play the role was James Franco in Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man trilogy. The official press release for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 casting news (via Coming Soon ) also confirms the casting of Jamie Foxx as the supervillain Electro. This particular news seemed like a foregone conclusion, since when CraveOnline asked Marc Webb about the rumor, the director's response was, "I think Jamie Foxx is a brilliant actor. I think he's really exceptional, and I would love to have a chance to work with him. I think he's electrifying." And then he did jazz hands. Not kidding about that part. DeHaan and Foxx join The Descendents star Shailene Woodley , who will also join the cast as the third member of the classic love triangle, Mary Jane Watson, taking over the role from Kirsten Dunst.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (which has yet to receive an official title) is scheduled to open in theaters on May 2, 2014. William Bibbiani is the editor of CraveOnline's Film Channel and co-host of The B-Movies Podcast . Follow him on Twitter at @WilliamBibbiani Harold Osborn (Earth-616) | Marvel Database | Fandom powered by Wikia Early Years Harry Osborn as the second Green Goblin Harold "Harry" Osborn was the son of wealthy industrialist Norman Osborn . He went to the same college as Peter Parker . [2] They were roommates for a time, during which Harry encountered occasional problems with drugs. [3] When his father died, Harry found the body and removed the costume. During this time, he dated Mary Jane Watson , but she broke off the relationship after Harry became more and more unstable due to his father's death. After learning that Peter was Spider-Man, he donned his father's costume and proclaimed himself the Green Goblin. He destroyed their apartment, [4] and kidnapped their friends Mary Jane, Eugene "Flash" Thompson and May Parker .

When he was defeated by Spider-Man, he told everyone that Peter was really Spider-Man before being taken away, but this was dismissed as the ravings of a madman. He was taken to a medical institution and was released, suffering from amnesia, forgetting Spider-Man's identity and both his and his father's roles as the Green Goblin. After being released and reentering college, Harry moved in with Flash. [5] He began seeing psychiatrist Barton "Bart" Hamilton but the psychiatrist tied him up and became himself the third Green Goblin. [6] Harry later married Elizabeth "Liz" Allen after they met at Edward "Ned" Leeds 's and Elizabeth "Betty" Brant 's wedding. [7] Harry and Liz had their son Norman Harold "Normie" Osborn . This tranquility was shattered when the aftereffects of the Inferno crisis sundered the barrier between Harry's conscious and subconscious minds. Once again, he remembered being the Green Goblin - and his irrational hatred of Spider-Man. Harry had convinced himself that Peter resented the Osborns' "stable family life" due to never having been wanted by his own parents or guardians, when in fact the complete opposite was true.

His sanity was shattered, he declared that their next confrontation would be their final one, and only one of them would be alive at the end. [8] To ensure that he was the victor, Harry researched his father's chemical notes, hoping to recreate the original formula that granted Green Goblin's superhuman strength. Harry made his own modifications to the formula, and upon ingesting it, it proved better than he had dreamed. The formula had made him stronger than both Spider-Man and his father. Now a physical match for Spider-Man, Harry planned his final revenge. [9] Death As the second Green Goblin, Harry Osborn took to stalking Peter Parker on his Goblin Glider , claiming that there was no law against just soaring around town in a colorful costume, and taunting Peter that someday he would destroy him, but he relished keeping Peter in suspense in the meantime. After weeks of this, Peter finally lost his nerve and struck at Harry, only to be sent flying when Harry hit back, demonstrating his new strength. Harry rocketed away, taunting Spider-Man's inability to stop him. [10] Not long after, Harry held a prestigious dinner at his townhouse, inviting many of his father's old business associates.

However, it was actually a trap, and Harry had planted explosives throughout the townhouse, which he planned to detonate, thus destroying everybody who had slighted the Osborns. Spider-Man, worrying the most, dropped in to investigate, only to be confronted by the Green Goblin. The two former friends engaged in a dangerous battle, which ended when Harry injected Peter with a drug that left him immobile, but still alive. However, even as he celebrated over his victory, he realized that Mary Jane Watson and Normie Osborn were also in the townhouse, and that the explosives would detonate in thirty seconds. Despite protestations that he was not a hero, Peter convinced Harry to use his damaged Glider to get the two to safety. After rescuing his son and Mary Jane, Harry finally returned to his senses and realized that he had left Peter to die. Harry rescued Peter from the explosion just in time. However, as his friends thanked him, he suddenly collapsed. The Goblin Formula was damaged by the explosion, and while it had increased his strength, it was also lethally poisoning him. Paramedics were called, but Harry died en route to the hospital.

With his final words, he apologized to Peter, and confirmed that despite everything, they were still, and would always be, best friends. [10] Before his "death," Harry persuaded the Chameleon to create two robots who would appear to be Peter Parker's dead parents in an effort to get Peter to tell them who Spider-Man really was. Harry already knew Spider-Man's identity but wanted to mess with Peter's head so he convinced Chameleon that Parker, due to all the photos he had taken, was sure to know Spider-Man's identity. When Spider-Man discovered the fraud, [11] he went briefly insane over the disappointment of losing his parents again. [12] Return Harry Osborn's grave However, the Goblin formula that saved his father's life after being impaled by his own Goblin Glider, also saved Harry Osborn's life by giving him the same abilities. Norman Osborn returned to his son's life and paid Mysterio to fake Harry's death and sent his son to Europe. Divorced from Liz Allan, he returned from a years-long stay in a European rehab. He had no memory of being the Green Goblin, nor of Peter Parker's alter-ego.

Harry was now the owner of a chain of cafes based on his old college hangout, the Coffee Bean and, while he considered Peter his best friend, he hated Spider-Man with a vengeance. He was dating Lily Hollister , daughter of New York District Attorney Bill Hollister . Menace battled Norman and was infuriated by Norman stating that all he cared about was killing Spider-Man. Norman called Harry who recognized from Norman's distorted voice that Norman the he was wearing the Green Goblin suit, which horrified and disgusted Harry. Harry angrily confronted his father who wanted Harry to follow in his legacy and become a greater man. The confused Harry was saved by Spider-Man. Spider-Man, wanting to beat Norman senseless, stopped when he saw an area of Human Testing. Harry was thought to be the one responsible for the atrocious acts although he attempted to plead innocent. Harry later stated that he wanted to talk to Peter who moments earlier had been kissed by Lily, while leaving with a mysterious canister labeled "Prometheus X-90". [13] Prometheus X-90 was developed as a a successful cure for Mark Raxton 's condition as Molten Man.

Furthermore, the only human test subject was Charlie Weiderman , the short-lived second Molten Man, and the only person whom the serum could be tested on. After the cure was administered, Liz finally forgave Harry, and gave him back the wedding ring, which she originally claimed she lost. [14] Renting out all of Liberty Island, Harry took Lily to the island. On top of the Statue of Liberty , he got down on one knee and appeared to propose to her. Lily however rejected Harry's proposal as she was not sure as to were their relationship would lead, which surprised Harry. Harry later went to Lily's place to check up on her, and as he entered the room he was surprised to discover Lily wearing what appeared to be clothes belonging to Menace. She found a hidden door in his closet and found an old journal of his. She began giving him a hard time about whining so much about his father. Harry thought her behavior was because she was sick. She continued to tell him she uncovered one of Norman's secret rooms in the journal. This explained why she kissed Peter after the Thunderbolts attacked; he had almost found the secret trigger to open the room.

When she had first gone in, she found all of the Green Goblin's equipment along with some experiments. Knocking over some chemicals, she absorbed them and was now able to transform at will. She explained that she discovered Menace's attacks against her father gave him more public support. She also told him that she accepted his marriage proposal. After their talk, Harry entered one of his father's weapons caches, taking a Glider, a pair of Green Goblin gloves, and a dart gun containing an unknown chemical. In the midst of a battle between Menace and Spider-man, he confronted and shot her with that chemical, which was a type of antidote that reverted her back to her human form. He saved Spider-Man from the crowd and left. Lily was imprisoned but escaped later leaving Harry's ring and a note. This caused Harry to sink into alcoholism, but he was eventually saved by Carlie Cooper . Dark Reign American Son with Iron Patriot Following the events of the Skrull Invasion , Norman Osborn being placed in charge of the H.A.M.M.E.R. organization, and forming his own team of Avengers , Harry Osborn is approached with the offer of a job within his father's organization.

Harry declines, but after getting a visit from a pregnant Lily Hollister, he accepts. [15] Norman welcomes him into Avengers Tower , wanting to make his son part of the "American Son" project. However, Harry is shown to have an ulterior motive, based on his need to protect Lily and their child (his second child), disabling the camera in his room and sneaking off. [16] He found a cure for Lily's Goblin Serum that would be safe for her and the baby, but she pushes him away, revealing that it was all a ruse to make Harry into American Son, whom Norman would eventually have die in a tragedy to increase sympathy for Norman and the Dark Avengers. She also revealed that the baby was not Harry's but in fact Norman's. In retaliation to this news, Harry donned the American Son armor and fought against his father, sparing Spider-Man from his father. [17] During the battle, Norman declared that Harry was no longer his son, and that he had bred a better child to replace the failure Harry. After further taunts from Norman, Harry lashed out and defeated his father, declaring "I was never your son!".

When Harry had the option to kill Norman, Spider-Man goaded him to decapitate Norman, as his healing factor may repair a blow to the head. Spider-Man stated that by killing Norman, he would "become the son Norman always wanted". Harry backed down, and walked away from his father forever. Harry is then seen in a psychiatrist's office, claiming he is getting over the effects of a medical treatment he received. The doctor offered to prescribe him oxycodone, a nod to Harry's past drug abuse, but it is unknown if Harry took the prescription. [18] Afterwards, he's moved out from his penthouse apartment, and is currently staying in Peter Parker's old room at Aunt May 's. [19] He's also secretly dating Amy Reilly . [20] After Aunt May was corrupted by Mister Negative , Harry was forced to move out again and moves in with Mary Jane Watson. Heroic Age After Norman Osborn's fall, the American Son armor was stolen whom authorities believed to be Harry Osborn, but have no true link to peg him to it other than the fact that the suit can only be used by someone with an Osborn Lineage.

He was later visited by Gabriel Stacy shooting Harry in anger for believing that their father gave him a better life. [21] After looking through one of Norman's journals; which explains many things that were kept secret including Gabriel's birth, Harry creates a new American Son armor for himself (based off a spare Iron Patriot and American Son armors). Harry then seeks help from Frontline reporter Norah Winters , as he believes Gabriel to be incredibly unstable and planning to kill their father from the Raft . It's discovered that Gabriel commits crimes while the American Son persona undoes the damage Gabriel had caused, who identifies itself as the part of Gabriel that recognizes that what he is doing is wrong. Norman had later revealed to Harry that when he perfected the American Son formula he had removed any traces of the Goblin serum and injected the American Son formula in Gabriel and his sister ; while it cured them both of the severe side-effects of the Goblin Serum, it left Gabriel more unstable and initially caused his other persona to emerge. After an intense psychological battle, Gabriel appears to get the upper hand and proceeds with his plan.

Gabriel overheard a planned ambush by a police squad and proceeds to attack them, before he can do any real damage however, he is stopped by Spider-Man. Later, after kidnapping Norah and luring Harry to a vacant warehouse, Gabriel made another attempt on Harry's life. Harry manages to get into the warehouse and begins to fight Gabriel, while attempting to convince him that Norman is nothing but pure evil. Gabriel ignores him and continues to attack his brother; only for Harry to deactivate the American Son armor via remote. Gabriel and Harry are then caught in an ensuing blaze as a result of the fight, but are saved by Spider-Man. Gabriel was then seen in a psychiatric hospital then receiving a package; containing the American Son helmet and a note from Norman. Gabriel reads the note saying that Norman loves and misses him. Afterward, Norah visits Harry in his coffee shop, and notices a bottle of oxycodone in Harry's things. Troubled by what she finds Norah concludes that Harry has a drug problem and resolves to help him through it.

[22] Carlie Cooper and Peter Parker meet Harry and MJ at the Coffee Bean when all of a sudden Lily Hollister bursts through the wall, followed by an attacking team of super-villains. MJ and Harry try to help when Lily gone into labor, but they are interrupted by Doc Ock ! Spider-Man saves them both and Lily's son and examines the baby's DNA and finds it identical to Harry's. Harry is inspired by Spider-man to raise the baby and start a new life as a father. He names his son Stanley Osborn . On Halloween night, Harry is preparing to move out with his second child and meets ex-convict Vincent "Vin" Gonzales and reveals he considers Norman a deity and says that one he will take the baby. After Vin shows them the Goblin tattoo Harry attacks with a taser and violently beats him up. [23] Months later, Harry is shown living in Seattle , Washington with Stanley. He has completely changed his appearance, having shaved his head and grown a beard. During a fight with the Hobgoblin, Peter called up Harry (who was sitting on a bench in a park while his son played) in order to find the password to something that may help with the fight.

After Harry gave him the password "Stromm" (after his father's first business partner ), he began to get ready to move again, having integrated with the life he left behind. [24] Parker Industries After some time when Parker Industries became a success, he's revealed to be Parker Industries New York chief, having legally changed his name to be Harry Lyman to distance himself from his notorious father. [1] Powers and Abilities * Heightened stats when empowered by Goblin Formula Powers Harry has superhuman attributes while empowered by the revised Goblin serum. It is unknown as to whether he currently has retained his Goblin powers. Superhuman Strength: Harry as the Green Goblin's possesses superhuman strength. His strength slightly exceeds his fathers and he is able to press lift 10 tons. [25] Superhuman Speed: The Goblin is capable of running and moving at speeds greater than that of even the finest Olympic athlete. Superhuman Stamina: The Goblin's enhanced musculature generates less fatigue toxins than the muscles of ordinary humans. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to affect him. Superhuman Durability: The formula also fortified all of Harry's bodily tissues, making them far tougher and more resistant to injury than normal humans.

While he could be injured by something along the lines of a knife or small conventional bullets composed of conventional material, he was very resistant to great impact forces and blunt trauma. He could 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. He was able to fight Spider-Man and sustain hits from him. Regenerative Healing Factor: If injured, the Goblin's body is able to heal itself with greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. While not nearly as efficient as the healing powers possessed by Wolverine , he can heal from injuries that would prove lethal to an ordinary human. Superhuman Agility: The Goblin's agility and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural limits of the human body. Superhuman Reflexes: The Goblin's reaction time is enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural limits of the human body. Abilities Genius Intelligence : Harry's intelligence is enhanced to an unknown level because of the Goblin serum. A mixture of Goblin serum and super-soldier serum was made to make him the American Son. This intellect is so high, [26] it surpasses even that of his own father and Spider-Man.

[27] [28] Strength level Class 10; Harry can lift 10 tons and has fought Spider-Man to a draw. Paraphernalia Equipment Formerly Goblin Armor : The Green Goblin's costume incorporated chain mail in the tunic, giving him further protection from high impacts, such as the punches or kicks inflicted during his battles with Spider-Man. American Son Armor : Harry wears a full battle-suit. The American Son battle-suit was cobbled together from Tony Stark 's armory and painted with Steve Rogers 's colors shortly following the formation of H.A.M.M.E.R.. The Fu Manchu : Harry's short-lived face fuzz. Transportation Formerly Goblin Glider : Harry Osborn rides improved version "goblin glider," capable of great maneuverability and speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. It was capable of supporting about 400 lbs including Norman's weight (and far more for very brief periods of time). Top speed and a full normal load would exhaust the fuel supply in about one hour. The main microprocessor assisted manual controls were behind the head of the glider, and later modifications added voice-activated radio-linked controls integrated into the Green Goblin's mask.

The goblin glider was steered primarily, however, by the weight and attitude of its rider. The Green Goblin's boots locked into the stirrups of the glider electromagnetically. Weapons Formerly Explosives: The Green Goblin created and utilized various concussive, incendiary, and other specialized explosives in his career, most in the form of miniature jack-o'lanterns. The Goblin usually carried these in a shoulder bag, nicknamed his "bag of tricks". Incendiary: The incendiary grenades ignited almost soundlessly and released enough heat to melt through a three-inch thick sheet of steel. Smoke/Gas: He also carried a variety of smoke and gas-emitting bombs, which were surrounded by a light plastic mantle that fluttered like a wraith when the bomb was thrown. Other gas bombs emitted hallucinogenic gases, and others released a specially concocted gas that could neutralize Spider-Man 's spider sense for a limited period of time. Flying Razor Bats: The Green Goblin sometimes threw razor sharp bat shaped projectiles which could slice into or ram and impale themselves into opponents.

Electrical Discharges: The Green Goblin's gloves were interwoven with microcircuit-conducting filaments capable of high-frequency electrical power from rechargeable power packs in both his glove cuffs and costume tunics. They had 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 frog that can emit sonic blasts, and can carry many other weapons in it most of which are unrevealed. Trivia During the Clone Saga, Harry Osborn was originally going to be revealed as the mastermind behind Spider-Man's misfortunes. When Bob Harras became Editor-in-Chief before this storyline could reach its conclusion, he rejected the idea. A new villain introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #412 called Gaunt was going to be Harry Osborn's new alter-ego.

It was intended to be revealed that Harry hadn't died in The Spectacular Spider-Man #200 , but instead the Goblin Forumla had caused his body to start to weaken and wither away, so he was forced to use a special suit to stay alive. The identity of Gaunt was eventually given to Mendel Stromm . [29] Harry Osborn (Character) Harry Osborn (Character) from Spider-Man (2002) The content of this page was created by users.

You seem to have quite a history of failing your friends and loved ones. Dear, sweet Gwendolyn, your deceased girlfriend who died so young. Your beloved aunt May, who asked for so little of you and received exactly that until she was taken from you. My son, Harry.

You claimed to be his friend, his confidant, and when he needed you most, you failed him as you do everyone else who gets close to you." — Peter Parker: Spider-Man #95 Norman Osborn, also known as The Green Goblin, is a character appearing in Marvel comic books . The Arch-Enemy of popular Marvel superhero Spider-Man , Norman is most closely associated with Spidey, though in more recent years Osborn has become more active in story arcs outside of the Spiderverse. He became increasingly prominent in Civil War , an importance which led to his biggest role to date: the Big Bad of the Marvel Crisis Crossover event Dark Reign . The Green Goblin first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man vol. 1 #14 (July, 1964), created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko . The face of Norman Osborn first appeared in cameos in issues #23, and #25-26 (April, 1965, and June-July, 1965). The previously unnamed character received his name in issue #37 (June, 1966).

In issue #40 (September, 1966), Norman and the Goblin were revealed to be the same person, concluding a mystery storyline. The idea is attributed to Lee. Ditko quit the title a couple of issues prior to that point, reportedly disagreeing with the direction the series was taking. Norman Virgil Osborn was born to a respected and rich family of Osborns. When Normie was a child, his father Amberson ruined the business and became bankrupt. As an adult, Norman worked to regain the family's power and money, vowing never to become the failure his father was. He married, but a year after his son Harry was born his wife Emily died, leaving Norman a widower and single father. He soon proved to be a neglectful parent, ignoring Harry in favor of his main goal: getting more power and money. Eventually he gained control of Oscorp Industries by framing his business partner Mendel Stromm. In Stromm's papers were notes on a serum he had discovered, which Norman tried to replicate for his own use. He failed . (Ironically, not entirely of his own fault, but Harry, angry that his father was neglecting him, switched some chemicals before the experiment...

Or maybe he didn't? ) The formula altered Norman's body. He became a super human: stronger, faster, more intelligent. Yet the serum also turned Osborn, who had never been entirely stable, into a total psychopath. Norman took on a double life: by day, a respected businessman ; by night, a grotesque super-villain mastermind. In his new persona as The Green Goblin, Osborn terrorized New York City with a bat-shaped jet glider, pumpkin bombs, razor bats, and insane laughter, thwarted from taking over the New York underworld only by repeated interference from Spider-Man. Soon, Osborn's interest in becoming the crime-lord of New York diminished; he had become obsessed with Spider-Man and his desire to get revenge upon him . Green Goblin was the first villain to discover Spidey's secret identity, knowledge he used to attack and capture Peter, but it ended in defeat for Norman, who subsequently lost his memories of being the Green Goblin . After some time he remembered everything and returned to battle Spider-Man, only to be defeated and lose his memories once again .

Yet their last clash was marked by tragedy, for it took place in Amazing Spider-Man #121-122 (June-July, 1973), an event which changed comic books history forever . For 23 years, Osborn vanished and was believed dead. However his evil legacy lived on with several goblin-themed villains, including his own son Harry . At the conclusion of The Clone Saga , Norman was shown to be alive, having been orchestrating events from somewhere in Europe, and that it was he who had been behind the Clone Saga. He returned to his campaign of tormenting Peter Parker, through legal and illegal acts, until he was finally caught — and released by Iron Man to help him in the Civil War . This ended badly. Very badly . After his day in the spotlight as the Top Cop of Marvel Universe, Norman Osborn was put into prison yet again, only to break out mere months later to unite the Goblin Cult, HYDRA, A.I.M, Hand and HAMMER into his own new organization. He revived the Dark Avengers and defeated not one but two teams of Avengers (directly with the Avengers; indirectly with the New Avengers) before his pride cost him everything yet again.

Following his defeat, Osborn escapes from the hospital and resumes the identity of the Green Goblin, vowing to defeat the new Spider-Man . To this end he dubs himself the "Goblin King" and takes over New York's criminal underworld, enlisting the help of Menace, Monster (Carlie Cooper after being splashed with the Gobin Formula), and Hobgoblin VII (renamed the Goblin Knight). Ultimately defeated by the good old Spider-Man, he still manages to escape. Osborn has two identities, which diverged into two distinct personalities as a result of Osborn coming up short in the Gathering of Five. To elaborate, the Gathering of Five was a mystical ceremony that bestows the five people gathered with power, insanity, immortality, knowledge, or death. Osborn set it up aiming to get power, but wound up with insanity instead. Mattie Franklin got power, Cassandra Webb (Madame Web) got immortality, and the other two schmucks were unimportant one-shots. One of his identities is the crazy mass murderer Green Goblin. The other is Norman Osborn, the Corrupt Corporate Executive and sociopathic chess master . Sometimes these personalities merge together and cooperate, but other times they fight.

His comics appearances are mainly in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker Spider-Man, Civil War, Dark Reign, New Avengers, and others. He starred in his own miniseries, Osborn: Evil Incarcerated, showing his time in jail after Dark Reign. Norman Osborn has appeared in other media, including the Spider-Man Trilogy (played by Willem Dafoe ) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (played by Chris Cooper), Spider-Man: The Animated Series , The Spectacular Spider-Man and The Ultimate Spider-Man animated series. He was also a playable character in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and a boss in Marvel: Avengers Alliance . As hype for the Dark Reign, Marvel hired an actual psychologist who analyzed old Stormin' Norman and found out just how twisted he is . Examples: Aborted Arc : Played with. After his sanity was restored, he vowed to attack Spider-Man and his allies in a way they'd never see coming, but was invited to the Kingpin's end of the world party ... which was crashed by the Punisher. After the world was restored, Osborn was shown with a Bandaged Face , selling Goblin gear as an Arms Dealer . Abusive Father : Had one, and was one to Harry.

Adaptational Heroism : Not a full on case, but in some adaptations like the 90s cartoon and the Raimi movies, he is a more sympathetic character, his callous side in fact a Jekyll & Hyde alter ego formed by the Green Goblin that takes him over. Throw Down the Bomblet : His signature pumpkin bombs are jack o'lantern-themed grenades. Took a Level in Badass : He is several magnitudes more dangerous, calculating and sadistic than he was in his early appearances since he came Back from the Dead . The main reason for this is that though Osborn survived being Hoist by His Own Petard back in the 1970's, The Goblin seems to have been largely suppressed. The result though was that Norman retained his memories as the Goblin for once and evolved into a much more rational psychopath who was able to take advantage of his considerable strength, intelligence and resources, and since he decided that Evil Tastes Good he now frequently Kicks The Dog For the Evulz . While forming the New Dark Avengers, he went to HYDRA to take part in their super-adaptoid program.

He then goaded Luke Cage into attacking him, stole his super-strength, and then threw him out to sea. Villainous Breakdown : Osborn's veneer of civility can only withstand so much, for so long. Villainous Legacy : He had this role for decades after he "died". He had killed Spider-Man 's girlfriend and created a supervillain legacy that not only included his own son, but several goblin-based villains that plagued Spidey for years. Of course, since Death Is Cheap , Osborn is back these days. Villain with Good Publicity : Most of the time he presents himself as an ordinary citizen and businessman. Was arrested for crimes as Green Goblin and revealed to be a super-villain. Became popular again in Dark Reign. Even after being exposed for his villainy after the Dark Reign, he still managed to stir up public support with his charisma and publicity skills when he began a smear campaign against the Avengers. We Can Rule Together : To Spidey, mainly in Raimi's movie but briefly in the comics. "Well Done, Son!" Guy : One What If?

issue that crossed Dark Reign and Infinity had him conquering the world with the Infinity Gauntlet he rallied the villains into helping him assemble. He then decides to pull his father from the past into a living reenactment of the final battle so he could gloat about his success and earn his father's love for his accomplishments. It fails, his father calls hims a monster , and Osborn shuts him up by forcing him to love him, which turns him into a sycophantic cheerleader. Infinity comes into play when Thanos arrives to advise him that he both can't handle the power of the gauntlet and that deep down he realizes his father's love is insincere since he forced it. After obliterating Thanos, Osborn confronts his father over why he loves him and when he's unsatisfied with the answer, obliterates him from history . What happens next is predictably ironic. Well-Intentioned Extremist : In Dark Reign . Or rather, he implied he was one of these.

Would Hurt a Child : In Fantastic Four: Dark Reign #4, Mr.Fantastic and Susan Storm's kids, Franklin and Valeria, try to hold off Osborn from inspecting the FF building and shutting the FF down while the FF are lost in time & space. What does Osborn do? He takes out his gun, and shoots straight at the kids without any hesitation. Thankfully, the whole FF gets back just in time to save their kids, and kick Osborn out. Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness : His Goblin mask is usually drawn with yellow sclera, if not solid yellow eyes, emphasizing his maniacal personality. You Fight Like a Cow : The version from the Silver Age of Marvel comics from the 1960s and 70s and The Spectacular Spider-Man incarnation have the tendency to crack sadistic jokes. Alternative Title(s): Green Goblin
