Norman Osborn is the overarching antagonist of the 2018 superhero video game Marvel's Spider-Man, a major character in its 2023 sequel Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and a minor character in its 2020 spin-off Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
He is the founding CEO of Oscorp, the former childhood friend turned arch-rival of Dr. Otto Octavius, the father of Harry Osborn, and the former mayor of New York City.
In an effort to cure his ill wife and son, Osborn developed GR-27, an imperfect experimental medical serum that gained the nickname "Devil's Breath", which unwittingly led to the rise of Mister Negative and his own eventual downfall. In another desperate attempt, Osborn administered the Venom Symbiote to his son to cure his illness. Although it appeared to be successful at first, it would pave the way to a Symbiote apocalypse that almost destroyed New York.
He is voiced by Mark Rolston, who previously played Bogs Diamond in The Shawshank Redemption, J. Scar in Eraser, Lex Luthor in Young Justice and Deathstroke in the Batman: Arkham series.
In his youth, Norman Osborn befriended Otto Octavius during his years in grad school. Together, the two eventually started a business company known as "Oscorp". However, Norman became more and more obsessed with genetics, when his wife Emily started to succumb to Oshtoran Syndrome, a terminal illness. Oscorp would eventually develop an experimental “cure” called GR-27, nicknamed “Devil’s Breath” by the lab technicians due to its rather destructive nature and its potential to cause a deadly pandemic. In 1986 this treatment was used on a boy named Martin Li in an attempt to cure him, but instead resulted in an explosion that killed Martin's parents and him superpowers. Norman and Otto had a falling out after this and Otto left Oscorp to start his own company, Octavius Industries.
At some point in time, Norman Osborn was elected mayor of New York. Despite this, Osborn was also known for his generally dishonest and condescending nature, as Peter Parker notes of him in his character bio.
•In both Marvel’s Spider-Man and its sequel, Norman is responsible for both of the events, leading to the rise of Doctor Octopus and Mister Negative and their wrathfulness against Norman. He tries to save his son Harry by having the symbiote on him, which led him to become Venom. However in the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 he is far more sympathetic with him only wanting to cure his son whom he deeply loves.
•While he belittled and taunted Octavius even when he had him at his mercy and was ready to kill him, he apologized to Martin Li, when Li had him as his prisoner, indicating that he may feel remorse about what happened to him.
•According to his in-game bio, Norman Osborn is 58 years old, weighs 185 pounds, and is 5'11".
•The prototype hand grenades and combat mask in Norman’s penthouse foreshadow his potential transformation into the Green Goblin, although it is yet to happen. Furthermore at the end of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 when Harry is rendered comatose, an emotionally destroyed Norman demands that the G-Serum be ready.
