Early life
Norman Osborn was born in October 11, 1945 in Massachusetts to Ambrose Osborn and an unnamed mother. As a child, Norman did well in school. His teachers noted how his brilliance outshone that of the other kids and he managed to skip a few grades. His personal life, however, was less rewarding. His father, who was a failed businessman and inventor, would regularly abuse his wife and son. This likely caused Norman to further turn his attention to where he was valued: school. As he matured, he e...
Trying the Goblin Serum
One day, during the year 2002, Norman drops Harry off to a field trip for school where he met his best friend Peter Parker and was quickly impressed with his intelligence. Later, Norman arrived at Oscorp as he had been attempting to recreate a Super Soldier Serum; however, Oscorp began to struggle, with Osborn's promised performance-enhancing serum for a military contract having been hit with setbacks, not the least of which being that rodents that it had been tested on have displayed violenc...
Helping Harry and Peter
Norman attended Harry's high school graduation as he expressed pride and admits that it wasn't the first time he was proven wrong. Also, Norman was pleased to see Peter won the science award as he offered some advice and comfort of his Uncle Ben's recent passing. Norman even got a place for Harry and Peter to live together in for collage. Norman would sometimes visit Harry and Peter at their place for a weekly inspection to ensure they were doing okay. During one of the visits, Norman spent h...
Getting fired
Norman basks in his company's eventual success: Quest has to reorganize after the debacle that killed Slocum, Oscorp has been given more government contracts and the company's stock is soaring. However, Norman was crestfallen to learn that the board of directors has chosen this moment to accept a buyout offer from Quest and he would lose his job. Hearing this, Norman had an outburst at his own board of directors, as they told them that he was out. Through those events, Norman's insane aggress...
Postmortem and legacy
Two years after the Green Goblin's reign of terror over New York ended, Norman's death still haunts both Peter and Harry, as Harry starts to feel that Peter is being selfish by not telling him who is Spider-Man despite that Peter often takes photographs of him for The Daily Bugle. After the Norman's death, Harry has taken over his position as Head of the Research Department at Oscorp and funds the project of Dr. Otto Octavius. However, after Otto's experiment goes horribly wrong and becomes D...
This alternate version of Norman is returned to his universe, but he'd be part of a branched/alternate timeline of the Raimi universe, where he would not die fighting his Spider-Man. As Norman entered the MCU Universe with an intact suit and on his glider, this implies he was pulled prior to his final battle with his Spider-Man. In this case, the a...
Norman Osborn's Personality
Norman Osborn is a confident, appealing, and full of integrity. While a caring dad to Harry, somehow, he completely ignores him at times and is incredibly always devoted to Oscorp. However, Norman does show a greed and misguided side to his personality as he'll stop at nothing to keep Oscorp from going out of business, which led him to develop a second personality. Although, Norman's greed and misguided traits could be from his own board of directors, especially when they decided to buy out O...
The Green Goblin's Personality
The Green Goblin is unlike Norman's persona, instead, it has a mind and will of its own. The origin points to the chemical drug that Norman took, which unknowingly sprung up the malicious, unhinged and delusional side of him. Goblin proves to be the more dominant personality, as he controls Norman's behavior and actions, and manipulates Norman into committing crimes. Signs of the Green Goblin controlling Norman while in public; such as insulting Aunt May, bashing Mary Jane, and even causing t...
In Theatrical Films
The Green Goblin pilots a high-tech jet glider, armed with seeking missiles, machine-guns, and launching trident-spears (he would later use one by hand to attempt to finish off Spider-Man). His suit consists of green armor that cybernetically connects his weapons and his glider by a remote-control gauntlet. He is seen using three varieties of his signature "Pumpkin Bombs" which the first is a grenade that can cause massive explosions enough to blast down buildings while leaving wildfires insi...
