The Green Goblin is a supervillain that appears in the fictional Marvel universe. The character was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, and first appears in The Amazing Spider-Man #14 (July 1964). A serum granted the industrialist Norman Osborn superhuman strength but also made him insane. Osborn adopts a Halloween themed appearance, dressing in a goblin costume and using an arsenal of high-tech weapons, notably grenade-like "Pumpkin Bombs" and "Razor Bat" throwing knives while riding on a bat-shaped "Goblin glider" to terrorize New York City. The character is one of Spider-Man's most recognizable foes and is widely regarded as his archenemy, having much impact in Spider-Man's life, and posing a large threat to him and his loved ones. He appears in several Spider-Man Animated series throughout the years and in Spider-Man, in which he is played by Willem Dafoe. Wizard Magazine rated the Green Goblin the 19th greatest villain of all time.[1] Image File history File linksMetadata No higher resolution available. ...

"Stan's synopsis for the Green Goblin had a movie crew, on location, finding an Egyptian-like sarcophagus. Inside was an ancient, mythological demon, the Green Goblin. He naturally came to life. On my own, I changed Stan's mythological demon into a human villain." [2] The Etruscan Sarcophagus of the Spouses, at the National Etruscan Museum. ...
The Green Goblin first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #14. His identity was unknown. He proved popular and reappeared in later issues which made a point of his secret identity. Apparently, Stan and Steve Ditko disagreed on who he should be. According to one theory; Stan Lee always wanted him to be someone known by Parker while Ditko wanted him to be a stranger, feeling this was closer to real life.[3] However Ditko seems to have refuted this rumor, claiming: "So I had to have some definite ideas: who he was, his profession and how he fit into the Spider-Man story world. I was even going to use an earlier, planted character associated with J. Jonah Jameson: he [was to] be [revealed as] the Green Goblin. It was like a subplot working its way until it was ready to play an active role." [2] Ditko left the series before he could reveal the Goblin's identity and Lee decided in #39 to make him Norman Osborn, a character who had been introduced only two issues earlier (although a Norman Osborn-like character appears in Amazing #23 & #26 as a member of Jameson's executive club) the father of Harry Osborn, introduced in #31. John Romita, Sr., who replaced Ditko as the title's artist, recalls: This article is about the Marvel Comics character. ...

“Stan wouldn’t have been able to stand it if Ditko did the story and didn’t reveal that the Green Goblin was Norman Osborn. I didn't know there was any doubt about Osborn being the Goblin. I didn't know that Ditko had just been setting Osborn up as a straw dog. I just accepted the fact that it was going to be Norman Osborn when we plotted it. I had been following the last couple of issues and didn't think there was really much mystery about it. Looking back, I doubt the Goblin's identity would have been revealed in Amazing #39 if Ditko had stayed on."[4] In a particularly inventive twist, Osborn discovers Spider-Man's true identity in Amazing #39 but then suffers amnesia so that the story that revealed his origin would also be his last appearance. Interestingly, Norman Osborn was depicted with unethical qualities even before being revealed as the Green Gobin. In his first appearance in issue #37, Norman was revealed to have framed his partner Mendel Stromm as a thief, sending him to jail, and was willing to shoot him with a rifle. He vowed to eliminate Spiderman for interfering with his plans and in #38 he offers a reward to anyone in the underworld who kills the wall-crawler. It seems apparent that Osborn was going to be used as an antagonistic figure to Spiderman even before being chosen to be the Goblin. Dr. Mendell Stromm is a fictional character in the Marvel universe. ...
The Green Goblin would come back three times, the third time killing Gwen Stacy. This landmark storyline shocked comic readers. It had been unthinkable to kill off such an important character -- the girlfriend of the main character and a character with a large fanbase. This story arc is considered one of the markers of the end of the Silver Age of Comic Books, and the beginning of the darker, grittier Bronze Age.[5] After having the Goblin kill Spiderman's girlfriend, writer Gerry Conway decided that the Goblin had to pay a heavy price and in the next issue the Goblin has his final battle with Spiderman in which he ended up unintentionally killing himself. With Norman killed off, the writers have used others to take the mantle of the Green Goblin, including Norman's son Harry, although none of them could really take the original's place. Writer Roger Stern decided to create a new goblin and introduced the Hobgoblin to replace the Green Goblin as Spider-Man's archenemy. For the Christian hardcore band, see Gwen Stacy (band). ...

During the Clone Saga, the Spider-Man writers were met with a massive outcry from many readers after the decision to replace Peter with his clone Ben Reilly as the regular, true Spider-Man. To undo their mistake the writers devised many different schemes. Eventually, the decision was taken to reveal that an archenemy of Spider-Man's had been manipulating events from behind the scenes. It was suggested that Harry Osborn, who was killed off in Spectacular Spider-man #200, would be revealed to be the semi-zombified cyborg known as "Gaunt". Gaunt was a late entry towards the controversial storyline, created mainly as a plot device to return Harry to life, as the plan for the character included Harry regaining his humanity, taking credit for tricking Peter Parker into thinking he was a clone, and resuming his identity as the Green Goblin fulltime. However, the plotline was nixed by newly promoted Editor-In-Chief Bob Harras, who disliked Harry Osborn and instead demanded that the plotline be aborted and have Norman be the mastermind and Gaunt was revealed to be Mendel Stromm. The Clone Saga or Spider-Clone Saga was a major story arc in Marvel Comics which ran from 1994 to 1996 involving many clones of Spider-Man. ...

In college, wherein he studies chemistry and electrical engineering, Norman Osborn meets his sweetheart Emily, gets married, and eventually has a son, Harry. In his adulthood, he co-founds a major firm with Dr. Mendel Stromm, Osborn Industries, of which he is owner and president. Osborn finds that Stromm is embezzling from the company and then searches his possessions, discovering an experimental strength/intelligence enhancement formula. While he is researching his work, Emily becomes ill and dies. This tragedy pushes Osborn to work harder, and he barely has time for Harry. Unbeknownst to Norman, Harry has tampered with the formula beforehand, so when Osborn attempts to create the serum, it turns green and explodes in his face. The accident greatly increases his intelligence and strength, but also drives him insane. For other uses, see Chemistry (disambiguation). ...

Osborn adopts the bizarre identity of the Green Goblin, based on a monster he feared in his childhood, with the goal of becoming the boss of the city's organized crime. He intends to cement his position in the city by defeating Spider-Man in order to enhance his reputation. To this end, he creates a personal flying device, which starts in a broomstick-like shape and evolves into his Goblin Glider. He also develops hand grenade-like explosive weapons resembling pumpkins, sharp shuriken-like Razor-Bats, and gloves which fire energy blasts from the finger tips. Thus equipped, the Green Goblin then sets out to achieve his twin goals. Osborn hires the Enforcers to kill Spider-Man at a bogus new Mexico movie set. The Enforcers fail, but the Goblin defeats Spider-Man in battle.[6] The Green Goblin then fights Spider-Man and the Human Torch to a standstill.[7] The Amazing Spider-Man is the title of both a comic book published by Marvel Comics and a daily newspaper comic strip. ...

The Green Goblin continues to try to carry out his goals, only to be thwarted at every turn by Spider-Man. Frustrated, the Goblin decides to lie low until he is sure his enemy's guard is down. When he is ready, he arranges to have Spider-Man exposed to a special gas designed to suppress his spider sense. With that done, Goblin shadows him until he learns he was really Peter Parker, a classmate of his son Harry. After capturing him, Osborn in turn reveals his own identity to Peter and rants about his origin and his intentions of killing his greatest enemy, before releasing Peter to do battle. Peter defeats Osborn, who loses his memory and has his costume destroyed by Spider-Man to eliminate this menace.
For a long while, the Goblin personality periodically re-emerges in Osborn to bedevil Spider-Man, only to be forced down in turn when he is defeated. Finally, the Goblin takes control one final time and threatens the love of Spider-Man's life, Gwen Stacy, by kidnapping her and taking her to the top of a bridge in New York City. During the resulting battle, the Goblin commits one of his most brutal crimes: pushing Gwen from the bridge. Spider-Man's attempt to save her fails, and Gwen is killed. With blood in his eyes, Spider-Man pursues the Green Goblin for revenge, but manages to control himself after defeating him in battle. In a final attempt to kill him, the Goblin tries to spear Spider-Man with his remote control glider, only to be himself impaled by the jet-glider's sharp points when Spider-Man avoids the attack. Norman Osborn was presumed dead.[8] For the Christian hardcore band, see Gwen Stacy (band). ...

Escape Unknown to Peter, Harry has secretly witnessed their fight. After Spider-Man leaves the scene, Harry removes his father's costume before the authorities arrive. He later bribes the coroner into faking Norman's autopsy so no one will find traces of the Goblin formula in Norman's blood. However Norman's "death" is not what it seems. The Goblin formula has given Norman a healing factor which re-grows his internal organs and reanimates him. Norman wakes up in the morgue and covers his trail by replacing his body with that of a drifter (who he murdered) of the same build and facial features. After arriving in time to watch Harry vow vengeance on Spider-Man, Norman allows the Goblin legacy to pass to his son and escapes unnoticed into Europe. While in Europe Norman takes over an international criminal organization named the Cabal of the Scrier. He sends one of his agents to Peter's professor, Miles Warren, and offers to help him with his cloning project which eventually results in the clones of Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker. For seven years, Norman keeps tabs on Peter and watches him from the shadows.

Return After Harry dies from the side effects of a modified Goblin serum, Norman returns to the States and begins engineering a series of events known as Clone Saga. He does this in an attempt to drive Peter into despair by convincing him that he is the clone, while the real clone, Ben Reilly, is believed to be the original. After this plot fails, Osborn reveals himself to Peter and subsequently kills Reilly. He also apparently killed Peter's newborn daughter, although the full extent of this is unclear to this day. Norman later loses control of the Scriers and creates a smaller organization left over from the cabal called the Order of the Goblin, where he is given the title of "Goblin Lord".

Upon his return, Osborn comes up with a carefully contrived story to explain his absence and regains control of his business. For a while, a genetic construct that had once been a human being acts as the fifth Green Goblin following Norman's orders, so that he (Norman) will not be suspected as the Green Goblin (despite having admitted in public that he is Norman Osborn, and while wearing the costume).
He also buys the Daily Bugle so that he can control and edit out any bad publicity, such as the frequent editorials by Ben Urich. Later, when Norman is driven mad by the Order of the Goblin's mystic ceremony going wrong, the genetic construct seeks out Osborn's original formula to stabilize itself and discovers who it truly is. Unfortunately for the construct, its effort comes too late, and in front of Spider-Man's eyes, it melts into a puddle of goo and dies. (The construct was originally intended by Glenn Greenberg to be Phil Urich, as revenge by Norman for using the gear in the first place, but this was subsequently vetoed by the Spider-Man editor at the time.[10][11]) Layout of the Bugle The Daily Bugle is a fictional New York City newspaper that is a regular fixture in the Marvel Universe, most prominently in Spider-Man and its derivative media. ...

Goblin's Heir After the fifth Goblin dies, the Green Goblin develops a new plan for Spider-Man - he wants Parker to become his new heir. His first move in this game is drugging Parker into flying around in the Goblin's costume and attacking his friends. Norman then takes Peter to the old Osborn estate to try to convince him to take up Norman's mantle on his own free will. subjecting him to various psychological tortures in an attempt make him accept the darkness rather than the light. After days of physical and psychological torture, Peter cracks under the stress, but still refuses Norman at the last minute, throwing his serum in his face and fighting with him. Norman nevertheless departs, commenting that he has still won because he managed to break Peter, no matter how briefly, and adds that, in the end, he has always known that one of them would kill the other eventually.

Norman's next plan involves using a drunk Flash Thompson to drive a truck into Midtown High School, where Peter works. The accident causes Flash to suffer major brain damage and enrages Peter enough to decide to finish his feud with Norman once and for all. At the end of the fight, which takes place in one of Norman's chemical plants, Spider-Man comes close to killing the Goblin, but relents at the last second. Peter tells Norman that if he gave in to his hatred for the Goblin, the last piece of Gwen would die as he would have succumbed to his hatred, and that he does not need to kill Norman anyway, as simply being himself is punishment enough. Parker leaves, telling Norman that he is tired of fighting him, and declares a truce. Eugene Flash Thompson is a supporting character in Marvel Comics’s Spider-Man series. ...

Exposed The Green Goblin's true identity is revealed to the public by a dedicated investigation by the Daily Bugle after he murders one of their reporters. After a battle with Spider-Man and Luke Cage that spans the length of Manhattan, he is arrested and sent to prison for the first time in the character's 40-year history. As expected, however, Osborn does not stay in prison for long. Even behind bars, Osborn masterminds a plot to get Spider-Man himself to help him escape, which the web-slinger ultimately does, as payment for releasing Aunt May from Mac Gargan, The Scorpion, a kidnapper in Osborn's pay; a promise that Osborn later breaks. Spider-Man battles with the Sinister Twelve, a group of his greatest enemies led by Osborn as the Green Goblin, who reveals that he had a hand in financing many of these villains' origins. The Goblin slips away in the heat of the battle and abducts Mary Jane Watson, taking her to the George Washington Bridge, but Spider-Man manages to rescue her. The Green Goblin then finds himself grappling with a deranged Doctor Octopus, still drugged from being held in police custody. A bolt of lightning sends the two villains plunging into the river. Doctor Octopus is eventually recovered alive and well, and Peter later receives a letter from Osborn, mailed before the fight.

Sins Past -
For more information, see Gabriel and Sarah. It was recently revealed in a controversial storyline that, prior to Gwen Stacy's death, Osborn had engaged in an affair with her, resulting in twins. After Stacy's death, Osborn takes the children into his care during his sabbatical in Europe. The children, named Gabriel and Sarah, age and mature rapidly within only a few years (due to inheriting Norman's enhanced DNA). The twins emerge after Osborn's takedown and confront Spider-Man, whom they believe to be their real father, and who they believe has murdered their mother. After a series of confrontations, Gabriel and Sarah discover their real father's identity after Peter digs up Gwen's grave for a DNA sample. Sarah rejects Osborn's vendetta, but Gabriel assumes the mantle of the sixth Green Goblin, or "Grey Goblin". Gabriel, deranged and amnesiac after a battle with Spider-Man, disappears along with Sarah, although she later reappears in Paris. This explains a great deal to Peter: why the Goblin has killed Gwen, why Mary Jane Watson avoided Peter for a long time, having known the secret, and why Osborn wanted Peter as his 'heir' ("So that we could be One Big Happy Goblin Family").

Civil War -
After escaping to Paris, Osborn is apprehended by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and taken into their custody. While in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, Osborn watches in shock as Spider-Man publicly reveals his identity as Peter Parker (also confirming Osborn's identity as the Goblin and his role in Gwen's death in the process), railing that Peter "broke the rules!" He is then approached by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who are seeking his aid. The Goblin confronts and attacks Ben Urich in an alley, but S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nano-machines cause him to stop, involuntarily making him collapse and foam at the mouth.

Later he makes a deal with a shadowy figure who gives him a serum to override the control nano-machines implanted by S.H.I.E.L.D. In the next two issues, Osborn attacks a group of Atlanteans in his Goblin gear, killing and wounding many. Later, when one Atlantean ambassador attempts to give a speech, Norman appears and shoots at him, wounding but not killing him. As he is being taken away by security, Norman says he is 'sick' and is not in control of his actions. While being interrogated by two officers, Norman becomes increasingly agitated when they question who gave Norman access to the press conference and assisted in smuggling a weapon there. At first, Norman gets angry, threatening to kill the two officers' families, then he becomes more and more afraid until the shadowy figure arrives at which point Norman begs the officers not to let him go, even promising to reveal all he knows to them.
Norman Osborn is now the government's appointed new director of the Thunderbolts and has been prescribed medication to stabilize his personality. He remains unbalanced, however, mainly due to the fact that Thunderbolt Moonstone has influenced attendants to switch his medication with placebos on alternate days so as to get him fired and take his place.

Personality The most defining detail about the Green Goblin's personality is his incredible arrogance. When he first learned Spider-Man's identity, he claimed that his previous defeats at Spider-Man's hands never really counted, as Spider-Man had either defeated his current lackeys without defeating the Goblin himself or been saved by the intervention of others- such as the Human Torch- when the Goblin only ever desired to fight Spider-Man himself. This arrogance led to him declining membership in the original Sinister Six because he felt that he could defeat Spider-Man on his own, although his later creation of the Sinister Twelve would suggest that he at least acknowledges the value of aid even if he feels that he himself does not require it. It may have also contributed to his desire to hold the Gathering of Five despite the two-in-five chance of dying or being driven insane, as he was so convinced that he was destined for greatness that he was unable to accept the possibility that he might not receive the gift of power. This article is about the Silver/Modern Age Human Torch, Johnny Storm. ...

Osborn has also shown himself to be a highly stubborn individual, refusing to believe Peter's insistence that he did not kill Harry Osborn and instead believing that Harry was killed by Peter rather than sacrificing his life. Also believing that Harry was weak due to his apparent inability to stand up for himself, part of the reason Osborn left for Europe was to give Harry 'the chance to be a man' by becoming the Green Goblin.
Despite his ego, he is recorded as having stated on one occasion that he actually has a great respect for Peter's strength of character, informing him in a letter that he owes Peter a great deal for ensuring that his life is always interesting and encouraging him not to quit the hero business as the world would be a far duller place without him in it. He may indeed have more respect for Peter than he did his own son, since Peter is a talented, capable and determined individual- a self-made man like himself- whereas Harry he views as a failure who let himself be spoiled and dependant.
Although a genius- described once by Peter as being 'twice as smart' as Peter Parker-, Osborn has never shown an interest in using his technology on the conventional marker, a fact that earned him the scorn of the original Hobgoblin when he originally discovered Osborn's old equipment as Osborn could have easily earned far more money selling the technology than he could have ever made in a life of crime. For the member of the Shiar Imperial Guard, see Hobgoblin (Imperial Guard). ...
Osborn has demonstrated several antisocial personality traits. While in prison, a guard once asked for his advice in helping his critically ill wife- Osborn's advice led her to a quicker and more agonising death. When told by Peter that he could have "cured cancer by now" had he put his mind to it, his responded by saying "I don't give a damn!" He has also showed signs of sexism, and in particular hates his daughter-in-law Liz Allen, believing that she made Harry "weak" while they were together. Osborn is also apparently a control freak, for example getting angry at Mac Gargan for choosing the Venom symbiote over a new Scorpion outfit Osborn built for him, despite Venom being a more useful asset for their purpose of killing Spiderman.

Other Goblins While Norman is assumed to be dead, several villains and one hero take up the mantle of the Green Goblin:
Nels Van Adder In a retcon established in 1997, it is revealed that soon after Norman had Stromm arrested for embezzlement, he had found only a portion of the notes detailing his partner's serum (he would find the rest later). Norman tests the incomplete version of the serum on an Oscorp employee named Nels Van Adder, exposure to which, drives Van Adder slowly insane and begins transforming him into a red, demon-like being known as the "Proto-Goblin". Killing several people and blaming Norman for what has happened to him, Adder proceeds to harass and later attempts to kill him before being knocked out a window in Oscorp by Arthur and George Stacy and fleeing into the wild. In order to escape conviction for what he had done to Van Adder, Norman convinces the police that Van Adder had been experimenting on himself, and that he had secretly been trying to help him. Van Adder's current fate remains unrevealed. [15] For the band, see 1997 (band). ...

In Ultimate Spider-Man #1, an OZ-injected spider bites Peter Parker on a field trip. Peter develops amazing powers, and Norman theorizes that if the OZ combined with spider DNA gave Parker the abilities of a spider, then if Norman were to receive OZ combined with his own DNA, he could become a heightened version of himself. The experiment goes wrong and an explosion occurs, affecting Harry and Dr. Otto Octavius. Norman, however, is transformed into a muscular, grotesque, demonic-looking monster, granting him superhuman strength greater than Spider-Man's, enabling him to leap great distances, superhuman reflexes, stamina and durability. He also appears to also be pyrokinetic, as he can throw flaming balls of destructive energy and (in the Ultimate Spider-Man video game) surround himself with flames.

In an attempt to destroy all evidence of his existence, the Goblin kills Norman's wife and attempts to kill Harry, who manages to escape while the house is burning down. The next day, he attacks Harry's school but is stopped by Spider-Man. During the fight, the Goblin plummets off a bridge into the river, seemingly dead.
However, Norman survives and has, in his words, "evolved". He can now control his transformations into an intelligent incarnation of the "Green Goblin" via OZ injections. Due to overdosing on OZ, Osborn suffers from hallucinations. These include seeing everything through a blood-red filter, objects such as the Spider on Spider-Man's chest moving around, and creatures called "plasmids" tormenting him. A hallucination is a false sensory perception in the absence of an external stimulus, as distinct from an illusion, which is a misperception of an external stimulus. ...
Taking Harry back, Norman moves back into the city, blaming rival Justin Hammer for the explosion. Under the spell of the Goblin, he reveals himself to Parker, telling him to give up the life as Spider-Man and work for him, or suffer the deaths of Parker's loved ones. The Goblin tells Parker to kill Nick Fury, the Head of S.H.I.E.L.D. When Parker refuses, the Goblin kidnaps Mary Jane Watson, Peter's girlfriend, and attempts to kill her by hurling her from the top of a bridge. Spider-Man is able to save Mary Jane, and joins S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives in attacking Osborn. The battle continues at Osborn's Manhattan penthouse, where the Goblin transforms even further after taking several more OZ injections and begins to choke the life out of Parker. Harry discovers the scene, picking up a shattered window pane and jamming it into his father's back, reverting him to his human self. Norman is taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the Ultimate Six limited series, the Goblin and his old assistant, Dr. Octavius, devise a plan to escape from prison which uses Norman's new ability to transform into his demon form at will. It also seems that he is no longer under the influence of the hallucinogenic "plasmids", with Norman stating that he has been undergoing a "transitioning stage" during his last confrontation with Peter; furthermore, his speech is more coherent in his Goblin form, suggesting that he is no longer hallucinating as a result of the Oz formula. They kidnap Spider-Man and force him to join them. The Goblin considers Parker to be his 'true' son and believes Parker belongs with him. In a battle between the Ultimate Six and the Ultimates at the White House, Harry is used as a trump card by Nick Fury. Harry pleads with his father to stop. Norman is about to change back when a trigger-happy Iron Man blasts him from behind, severely altering Norman's genes and causing him to lash out at the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel before being shot down to Harry's horror. He is again taken into custody. At the end of the issue, he is revealed to be in cryogenic suspension, with half of his face in Goblin form on account of Iron Man's reckless genetic-disordering shooting.

With both the S.H.I.E.L.D. troops and Norman horrified at what he's done, he reverts to his own human form, turns around and asks to be killed -- Carol Danvers, in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. while Nick Fury is away, simply says "Gladly," before obliging.

Earlier appearances - The 1960s animated television series features the first depiction of the Goblin outside of the comic book in "The Witching Hour", although the Goblin here is depicted as a dimwitted robber who is obsessed with magic and the supernatural - fields of expertise that Norman Osborn in the comics is never interested in (save for one incident in the late 1990s), preferring to use technology to commit crimes. He later returns, joining Dr. Noah Boddy, Electro, and Vulture in "To Catch a Spider".
- The 1980s Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends cartoon show features the character in "Triumph of the Green Goblin", which depicts Norman Osborn (voiced by Neil Ross) as something closer to The Lizard, with a serious medical problem of physically and uncontrollably changing into the Green Goblin (voiced by Dennis Marks). This version of the character had a niece by the name of Mona Osborn, who had no knowledge of her uncle's double identity. He appeared in "Triumph Of The Green Goblin" and "Quest Of The Red Skull".
- The solo Spider-Man series' version, which ran around the same time, is truer to the original comic book (in which Osborn suffered from amnesia and wore a Goblin costume instead of physically transforming into the Goblin), with the Goblin appearing in "Revenge of the Green Goblin".
- Green Goblin also appears in an episode of South Park in "Imaginationland Episode II" as a resident of a world with the same name which is divided by a good and bad side. Obviously, the Goblin is on the bad side.

Spider-Man: The Animated Series The Green Goblin is a long-term recurring villain in the Spider-Man series with Neil Ross reprising his role. However, though Osborn has been present almost from the beginning, the Goblin himself is a relative latecomer to the series, with Osborn not becoming him until Season 3, despite almost all other villains appearing in Season 1 (including the Hobgoblin). Unlike his comic counterpart, Norman Osborn here is not an insane version of himself, and has instead developed a multiple personality disorder. His other side is the Green Goblin, who acts on destroying everyone who has hurt Osborn throughout his life, thus, Osborn is never truly responsible for his actions. However, in later episodes Osborn accepts the Goblin persona and they became 'one', determined to destroy everyone who has hurt him. Also, unlike the comic book version, who considers his son Harry weak, Norman Osborn here deeply cares for Harry with his life.

Green Goblin in 1990s Spider-Man animated series In the Goblin's debut episode, "Enter the Green Goblin", Norman Osborn and his partner, Mendel Stromm, are coerced into creating a formula for the Kingpin that grants superhuman strength. Also, he is one of the few characters in the series who knows that Wilson Fisk is Kingpin. An unstable reaction results during one experiment and Norman disappears in the explosion, presumed dead. Harry Osborn blames the Oscorp stockholders, J. Jonah Jameson, Anastasia Hardy, and Wilson Fisk (the Kingpin), among others, for the death of his father. Soon a mysterious airborne figure, identifying himself as the Green Goblin, begins kidnapping the stockholders one by one. Harry quickly becomes the main suspect and is followed by a wary Mary Jane who was herself kidnapped. Tracking her down, Spider-Man uncovers an underwater base where the Goblin intends to kill everyone he has kidnapped. Fighting the Goblin, Spider-Man unmasks him, only to discover that the Green Goblin is Norman Osborn. Amnesia ensues and Norman is unable to remember his dual identity.

In "Goblin War!", Norman Osborn becomes the Green Goblin again, after being pressured by the Kingpin to reveal the identity of the Hobgoblin, who he has hired before to kill Fisk. The Goblin persona tricks Osborn into thinking that Spider-Man, Hobgoblin, and the Kingpin are trying to hurt him. With the Goblin in control of his body, he then tracks down the Hobgoblin in Jason Phillip Macendale's home, because he knows that villain lived there as Macendale. The Goblin kidnaps him and his fiancée, Felicia Hardy, who had just figured out who Macendale was. He takes the Hobgoblin's Time Dilation Accelerator, a machine which can create portals from anywhere around the world or in other worlds, and nearly kills Macendale and Felicia by almost melting them in a pool of acid at OsCorp. Spider-Man battles the Goblin, knocks him out, saves Felicia and Macendale from certain death and nearly destroys the Accelerator using one of the Goblin's boomerangs. However, the machine has enough energy to create another portal and Spider-Man warns him not to go in because the Accelerator is too low on power and he'll be trapped in limbo. The villain states that he rather wants to take his chances in limbo than be defeated by him and jumps in. After the Hobgoblin's arrest, the Goblin returns; the Accelerator still had enough energy to get him back to OsCorp, and he begins plotting the downfall of his enemies. For the member of the Shiar Imperial Guard, see Hobgoblin (Imperial Guard). ...
In the next episode "Turning Point", the Green Goblin finds out Spider-Man's secret identity with the Time Dilation Accelerator. Spider-Man and the Green Goblin fight atop the George Washington Bridge. In the end, the Goblin gets stuck in another dimension, after his glider pushes him through a portal. He wanted to push Spider-Man in as well, but before that he propels Mary Jane into a wormhole, never to be seen again except for the appearance of a clone that took her place in several episodes in the fourth and fifth seasons.
In "The Return of the Green Goblin", the Green Goblin chooses Harry Osborn as the new Green Goblin, because Norman wants to leave the other dimension in which he is stuck. Harry has difficulties being the new villain, but like the original Goblin, he wants Spider-Man dead because the original Goblin promises Harry that he will see his father again, if he kills Spider-Man. In reality the Goblin is Harry's father but, ironically, Harry doesn't know who he is. When Spider-Man tracks him down, the hero reveals to Harry his father is the Goblin and just when Harry thinks the hero is lying, the original Goblin reveals himself to his son. This event drives Harry insane and causes him to embrace his role as the new Green Goblin. The new villain battles Spider-Man and the Punisher at the George Washington Bridge where it ends with Spider-Man jumping on Harry and both of them fall into the New York City river. Harry is knocked unconscious and the Punisher takes his body, brings it to Peter Parker's house and realizes who Harry is. After the clone of Mary Jane appears, Spider-Man takes Harry to the Ravencroft mental hospital.
In "The Wedding", Harry Osborn becomes the Green Goblin again, because he hears that his friends, Peter Parker and Mary Jane are going to get married. At the church, Harry tells the priest to make Mary Jane marry him or he will blow up the church with everyone inside it. In the end, Harry lets Mary Jane go and returns to Ravencroft after Liz Allan reveals her love for him and convinces Harry that his real friends are Mary Jane and Peter, not the Green Goblin. With his connection to Harry broken, Norman Osborn remains trapped in limbo.
The Green Goblin makes his final appearance in "I Really, Really Hate Clones", the first part of the first part of the two-part series finale, in which he is working for Spider-Carnage and the Kingpin in an alternate reality. It is not clear if this is the same Norman Osborn that was stuck in limbo, but it is likely that it is simply a parallel version of the character in this other universe, as there is nothing that implies of the previous Norman Osborn. When the Green Goblin is confronting the Spider-Men from different realities who have joined forces to stop Spider-Carnage, all of them use their webbing to stick him to a floor of the Kingpin's tower. In the next episode, although he doesn't appear in it, the Green Goblin likely dies in an explosion that destroys the tower.
Spider-Man Unlimited A Counter Earth version of the Green Goblin appears in the Spider-Man Unlimited animated series voiced by James Crescenzo. This version is actually a hero instead of a villain, mistaking Spider-Man for a villain during their first encounter. Instead of a glider, he wields a backpack that sprouts wings. By the end of his first appearance, after saving Naoko and Shayne Yamada-Jones from one of Venom and Carnage's plans with the help of Spider-Man and after the Goblin lets Naoko and Shayne go, he whispers to himself about calling Naoko his love. It is revealed in the next episode, which the Goblin himself doesn't appear in, that Naoko has a jealous ex-husband who works for the rebellion against the High Evolutionary. Naoko's ex-husband, who is standing in the shadows by the end of the episode, reveals that he is jealous, suspecting that Naoko and Peter Parker, the man who pays the rent while living at Naoko's home, are having an affair. He punches a wall that bricks fall down thus confirming the Goblin, who has super-strength is indeed Naoko's ex-husband. Title Sequence. ...

The Goblin's next appears when he finds out that both Spider-Man and Peter Parker are the same person. He also learns that Spider-Man is from the original Earth, and his intentions on Counter-Earth are to rescue John Jameson. But since Jameson, who is working with the rebels against the High Evolutionary, doesn't agree to come and lets Spider-Man go off on his own, the Goblin decides to help by getting a ship the High Evolutionary has, which was originally Spider-Man's. Spider-Man and the Goblin team up with the Rejects, a group of Beastials that the High Evolutionary gotten rid of since they proved useless, and they get to Solaris II, the ship Spider-Man once had. But Spider-Man has more heart and has Solaris II crash into one of the High Evolutionary's towers, which presumably kills the Goblin in the explosion. However, by the series finale, it is revealed he survived the explosion and joined the Rejects. But he leaves them to help Spider-Man and the rebels fight against the High Evolutionary. By the end of the episode, he is one of the characters who run off when thousands of symbiotes spring to Counter-Earth according to Venom and Carnage's plans.

The Spectacular Spider-Man Green Goblin as he appears in The Spectacular Spider-Man. Norman Osborn appears in The Spectacular Spider-Man (voiced by Alan Rachins) as the charismatic yet pompous spirited CEO of OsCorp. He expresses disapproval at his son Harry for his not getting offered for the ESU lab job and telling him to man up to get what he wants. Bent on being the number one in weapons tech, Norman embezzled the designs of Adrian Toomes and then tipped Big Man on the technology created by TRI-CORP on shipment. As a result, Norman considers Big Man's deal, with him receiving guinea pigs for his illegal experiments in return for the created supervillains to distract Spider-Man from Big Man's operations. Osborn may be deceitful and rude, but he does show concern for those related to him, as when he rushed to the side of Otto Octavius right after the accident that later makes him Doc Ock. However, he also has an ungrateful side, shown when he leaves Spider-Man to finish off Octavius.

But in the end, the Green Goblin escapes.

Norman is determined to unmask the Goblin at any cost. Steven Jay Blum (born April 28, 1965) is an American voice actor known primarily for his work in anime dubs and video games. ...
It's highly implied that Norman Osborn is a deceiver or a victim of the Green Goblin since all of the Goblin's actions could have favored him: overthrowing the Big Man (Norman would not have to conduct more expriments) and creating Dr. Octopus in order to obtain the silence of the timid scientist.

 The Green Goblin, redesigned for the movie Spider-Man. Dr. Norman Osborn is a brilliant scientist and businessman/industrialist who is known for his contributions to nanotechnology. His son, Harry, resents his father's apparent favoritism toward his friend Peter Parker, who is a science whiz. He takes an immediate liking to Peter when he is informed that Parker can understand his work, and later admires Parker's desire to make his own way in the world, rather than accepting Osborn's help. He is the head of Oscorp, a company contracted by the United States military to create a new super-soldier. Osborn's colleague, Dr. Mendel Stromm, feels it important to reveal to the military official overseeing the project that some of the test subjects have gone insane. Hearing this, Osborn is threatened with a tight deadline. Needing to prove his formula can succeed, Osborn experiments on himself and becomes the Green Goblin. The process drives him insane however, and he kills Stromm. The military decides to give the super-soldier contract to another company, Quest Aerospace, and in revenge, the Green Goblin kills several high-ranking military officers and Quest scientists who were present at the test. Although Quest Aerospace's prototype was destroyed, the company decides to expand and, in doing so, assumes control of Oscorp on the condition that Norman Osborn step down as CEO.

In retaliation, the Goblin kills the board of directors during a festival in Times Square, thus removing the last threat to his takeover of Oscorp, and inadvertently almost killing Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst). His appearance at the festival also marks the beginning of his animosity towards Spider-Man.

The Goblin next leads an attack at the Daily Bugle to question J. Jonah Jameson for the identity of the photographer who takes pictures of Spider-Man. Peter is at the office during the attack and soon shows up as Spider-Man. The Goblin gasses him and takes him to a rooftop, where he offers Spider-Man a partnership and belittles his choice to become a hero, warning that eventually the city will turn against him. This starts to become true when the Bugle in response to the attack prints a story claiming the Goblin and Spider-Man are allies. John Jonah Jameson (also known as J. Jonah Jameson, J.J., Jolly Jonah Jameson, or J.J.J.) is a fictional supporting character featured in various Marvel Comics, most prominently the Spider-Man title. ...
A few days later the Goblin baits Spider-Man into a burning building and asks him if he's decided to join him. When Spider-Man refuses, the Goblin attempts to kill him with razor bats and eventually slips away. Norman finds out Spider-Man's identity when, while visiting his son Harry (who is Peter's roommate) for Thanksgiving Day, he discovers that Peter has an identical wound to one he had inflicted on Spider-Man in the earlier fight. After deducing Spider-Man's identity, he decides to leave though Harry tries to stop him. Norman tells Harry to do what he wants with Mary Jane and then dump her fast, as he believes she is only interested in his money as his own wife was. After hallucinating that his other persona informs him to attack Spider-Man's heart, he attacks and seriously injures Aunt May, then kidnaps Mary Jane and tells Spider-Man that he must choose either to save her or to save a group of children in a cable car. Both are thrown off the Queensboro Bridge, yet Spider-Man manages to save both the children and Mary Jane (a marked difference from the source story, "The Night Gwen Stacy Died", which ended in the death of Spider-Man's sweetheart). Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in much of North America, generally observed as an expression of gratitude, usually to God. ...

After saving the children and Mary Jane, Spider-Man is lured into an abandoned building. Goblin then throws a pumpkin bomb and it explodes in Spider-Man's face, sending him through a brick wall. As the Goblin brutally beats on Spider-Man, he tells him how he will kill M.J. slowly, saying that "M.J. and I, we're going to have a hell of a time" while drawing a trident. In a rage, Spider-Man attacks him, and gains the upper hand. After being defeated in their final battle and with his own personality apparently resurfaced, Norman removes his Goblin helmet to reveal himself to Spider-Man, and asks Spidey to forgive him and protect him from the Goblin persona. At the same time however, Norman (with the Goblin still controlling him) secretly directs his glider to impale Spider-Man from behind. Norman states he was like a father to him and begs him to be a son to him, to which Peter retorts that he had a father: Benjamin Parker. The Goblin responds by launching his glider. Benjamin Ben Parker, often called Uncle Ben, was a supporting character in the Marvel Universe’s Spider-Man stories. ...
Spider-Man senses the attack with his spider-sense and dodges, and the machine kills the Green Goblin by impaling him. Just before dying, Norman pleads Spider-Man not to tell his son about his second identity. When Spider-Man takes Norman's corpse back to his mansion, Harry sees him placing his father’s dead body on a bed. Not knowing that his father was the Green Goblin, Harry holds Spider Man responsible for his death. At the funeral, Harry swears revenge on Spider-Man. Categories: Stub | Death penalty | Torture ...
In the film, the Green Goblin pilots a high-tech Goblin Glider, armed with seeking missiles, machine guns and razor-sharp spears. He also wears green armor that cybernetically connects him to his glider and weapons. He is seen using three varieties of his signature "pumpkin bombs": one which is a simple explosive; one that releases a bright, radioactive flash which reduces people to skeletons; and one that splits into flying, razor-sharp blades. Rather than carrying a shoulder "bag of tricks", the weapons are contained in the glider and are ejected individually out of their storage compartment when desired. His suit is armed with knockout gas that is released from the wrists. His suit is also linked to the Goblin Glider, allowing him to control it remotely.

Spider-Man 3 In Spider-Man 3, Harry Osborn, still obsessed with taking revenge on Spider-Man, has finally taken up the mantle of the Green Goblin. He has modified his father's equipment into a more streamlined Goblin Glider called the Sky Stick and wears a darker costume with a less Goblin-themed mask. Though unnamed in the film, the character is referred to as the New Goblin in the credits. When Harry suffers from amnesia and briefly forgets his vendetta, a brief vision of Norman returns in a successful attempt to sway him back to destroying Peter/Spider-Man by one purpose: "Attack his heart." Harry manipulates the relationship of MJ and Peter. When Peter finds out, he attacks Harry in his mansion while under the influence of the black suit, and mutilates the right side of Harry's face with a pumpkin bomb. Harry's butler, Bernerd, eventually reveals to him that it was Norman's glider which had killed him, and not Spider-Man. Harry teams up with Peter to fight Sandman and Venom. He manages to temporarily subdue Sandman with his pumpkin bombs, flamethrower and missiles, but is impaled by Venom with his own glider, similar to how his father died. After Peter destroys Venom, he rushes back to Harry, who was fatally wounded when Venom impaled him with the Sky Stick. Peter and Harry forgive each other, and Harry dies with Mary Jane and Peter by his side.

Video games Spider-Man sees the Green Goblin riding a glider in Spider-Man: Friend or Foe - The first video game appearance of the Green Goblin is in the 1982 Atari 2600 Spider-Man game.
- The Goblin was originally meant to appear in The Amazing Spider-Man for the Game Boy, but he was replaced by the Hobgoblin.
- The Green Goblin is a boss in the Spider-Man arcade game. Though not the final boss, he is often acknowledged as being the hardest.[31]
- The Green Goblin is also a boss in the video game adaptation of Spider-Man: The Animated Series The game features the Green Goblin as one of the many bosses that have to be beaten throughout the game.
- In 2000's PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and Dreamcast game, Spider-Man there is a crane. It has a pumkin on it, and next to the pumkin it says "bomb".Spider-Man can enter which contains pumpkin bombs, a Goblin Glider, and a Green Goblin poster inside. This is a reference to the numerous hidden hideouts of the Goblin; the Green Goblin himself does not appear in this game.
- The Goblin appears in the 2002 Spider-Man video game, based on the Spider-Man film. He is voiced by Willem Dafoe. The game's biggest unlockable is the ability to play through the game as Harry in the Goblin suit and equipment, apparently featuring a Harry who has discovered his father's Goblin gear and is trying to learn more about his father's plans as the Goblin. Because the levels are designed for Spider-Man, certain levels (E.g., the bell tower level) are harder, while some are far easier (Such as the chase sequences). Levels where Spider-Man fights the Goblin feature a second Goblin, with a distorted voice, who claims to have been hired to fight Spider-Man; his true identity is unknown. Harry is voiced by Josh Keaton. The Goblin's genesis in the game parallels that of the film, with Norman and his scientists attempting to capture Spider-Man in order to study his genetics to perfect their own contracted super soldier serum. After a number of failed attempts to capture Spider-Man using OsCorp robots, Norman subjects himself to the serum and becomes the Green Goblin. In this guise he offers Spider-Man a partnership but is refused (In the XBox version of the game, he subsequently hires Kraven the Hunter to go after Spider-Man). Upon seeing a picture of Mary Jane kissing Spider-Man, he abducts her as bait for a final battle with Spider-Man, ending with Norman impaled on his glider much like in the comics and film.
- Ultimate Green Goblin briefly appears in the 2005 Ultimate Spider-Man video game, where he is voiced by Peter Lurie. He is held captive by S.H.I.E.L.D. since he is such a dangerous threat, but the villain Beetle has sneaked into the headquarters and frees the Goblin, having him go on a rampage throughout New York. Spider-Man confronts the Goblin after he escapes from the Latverian embassy, the two fighting throughout the city until the battle ends in a conference house where Spider-Man finally beats Goblin to a pulp, knocking him unconscious. Shortly after the villain's defeat, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrive in the warehouse and take Osborn back into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s custody without giving Spider-Man a "thank-you", which upsets the hero. Unlike the original Ultimate Green Goblin, who is in control of his Goblin form, this version is portrayed as being more of the out-of-control monster he awas in his debut.
- Ultimate Goblin makes a major appearance in the Nintendo DS & Game Boy Advance exclusive Spider-Man: Battle for New York released in 2006. He is one of the two playable characters (the other being Spider-Man) and the game is a retelling of his origin.
- Green Goblin appears in the game Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, voiced by Roger L. Jackson, as both a boss and a playable character.
