he’s the weapons industrialist who
became the frightening and insane
arch-nemesis of spider-man they are
pathetically predictable
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
will explore the comic book origins of
Norman Osborn otherwise known as the
Green Goblin
as with most comic book characters there
are often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
that unfolded in the amazing spider-man
number 14 and which was expanded upon in
issue number 40 first introduced to
comic book fans in 1964 the Green Goblin
was originally conceived as an ancient
mythological monster who was freed from
an Egyptian like tomb however this
remained unofficial and was never
formally alluded to in print
eventually this oddly dressed villain
not only exchanged his turbofan-powered
broomstick for a bat-like glider but was
also revealed to be industrialist Norman
Osborn the father of Peter’s friend
Harry Norman was the head of Oscorp a
weapons manufacturer
his wicked transformation was revealed
to be the result of having personally
tested a serum designed to enhance a
soldier’s physical abilities healing
factor and intellect while seemingly
successful it had the side effect of
causing him to lose his sanity and fall
victim to mood swings and violent
hallucinations
soon after Osborn modeled himself a
goblin costume based on the fictitious
monster he feared as a child using it as
a means to stir up fear and panic
he began aspiring to become the boss of
all organized crime in the city during
the course of one of his many battles
with the city’s web slinging protector
the Goblin managed to become the
first-ever foe to uncover spider-man’s
secret identity knocking Peter Parker
out the Goblin captured the hero he then
revealed himself to be Harry’s dad the
same man who Peter Parker had seen as a
father-like figure intent on a climactic
battle the Green Goblin was defeated
when he was knocked into an electrical
wire this burned his costume and
resulted in amnesia
following this Osborn slowly recovered
from his injuries once again becoming
the kind-hearted man that Peter once
knew however he soon became troubled by
the emergence of his repressed memories
at first he believed that the Green
Goblin was nothing but a hallucination
however the persona soon restored itself
when he viewed
presentation on supervillains returning
to the skies on his glider he sought our
revenge on Parker by threatening to harm
Peters Aunt May
boiled once more and exposed to one of
his own psychedelic bombs he soon fell
victim to amnesia once again eventually
Norman would stumble upon his old goblin
hideout and continue his vendetta
against spider-man
however he once again lost his memory
from the shock of discovering that his
son had overdosed on drugs this
recurring plot gimmick eventually came
to a horrifying conclusion when Norman
took up the mantle of the Green Goblin
one last time and through Peters love
when Stacy from lost the Tower of a
bridge
tragically all those fireman was able to
catch her with his web the sudden jolt
from being caught snapped Gwen’s neck
not only feeling responsible for Gwen
Stacy’s death spider-man was also denied
revenge during his final battle with the
Goblin in an attempt to impale
spider-man with his glider the Goblin
impaled himself instead despite this
untimely end
later story is revealed that Osborne’s
body eventually healed itself his son
Harry also donned the mantle of the
Green Goblin Harry he knew this was
coming fate and billionaire fashion
designer Roderick Kingsley found and
retooled his suit and weapons to create
his own persona the Hobgoblin a fan
favorite the Green Goblin is the most
recognizable of spider-man’s pose and
has become iconic for his use of bizarre
devices and weapons these include his
devastating pumpkin bombs and gloves
that discharge pulses of electricity
since his inception the Green Goblin has
gone on to cause deadly mischief
throughout various forms of media the
most notable of which is in Sam Raimi’s
spider-man in which he was portrayed by
actor Willem Dafoe
