History[]
Like his comic book counterpart, Ruthless industrialist Norman Osborn was the co-owner of a leading New York firm, Osborn Industries, which specialized in chemical manufacturing via Osborn Chemicals, as well as other areas of research and development, including robotics. His wife Emily died within a year after the birth of their son Harry, leaving Norman embittered. The product of an oppressively stern upbringing by his alcoholic abusive father, who lost the family fortune, Norman raised Harry dispassionately, often devoid of fatherly warmth, being chased by Harry's failure to demonstrate academic excellence or a competitive drive. Despite living in reacquired opulence, Harry felt depressed and neglected by his father. Unbeknownst to Harry, Norman had risen in power by participating in a collusion enabling the creation of powerful opponents to challenge the super-hero community, thereby offering corrupt corporations a means to distract the heroes from probing into their affairs. One failure in this regard involved using Osborn Industries employee Nels Van Adder as a human test subject, transforming him into the disfigured "Protogoblin." Osborn dodged accusations of wrongdoing from his head of security, Arthur Stacy, and his brother Detective George Stacy. He discovered the notes of his business partner, Professor Mendel Stromm, for a strength-enhancing serum. Stromm was jailed after Norman had him arrested for embezzling funds, allowing Osborn to gain full control of the firm. Osborn tested the serum upon himself in his private lab, but the unstable concoction exploded in his face leaving him hospitalized and by the time he got to the hospital, his fatal injuries were all perfectly healed without a trace of injury. He emerged with superhuman intelligence, strength, speed, agility, flexibility, mobility, athleticism, senses, stamina, reflexes, durability, endurance, etc. an accelerated metabolism, a regenerative healing factor, and an enhanced immune system, but at the cost of his sanity.
But, Unlike his counterpart from the comic books, Because of Spider-Man not going through events of Unmasked, Back in Black, One More Day, Brand New Day, One Moment in Time, New Ways to Die, Big Time, Spider-Island, Superior Spider-Man, and any of the other after One More Day events, causing Spidey to permanently maintain his identity permanently secret, the enhancements to his spider-powers and the extra spider-powers he gained from both the Spider-Queen and The Other, and more importantly his marriage with Mary Jane Watson, unlike his own comic book counterpart, and unlike his own comic book counterpart, Norman Osborn still remained as the Green Goblin, and he never became the Iron Patriot, the Super-Adaptold, and the Goblin King, so he stayed as the Green Goblin.

Powers and Abilities[]
Norman Osborn was turned into the Green Goblin by a chemical solution he had devised based upon a formula originally conceived by Professor Mendel Stromm. The process granted Osborn superhuman strength, speed, agility, flexibility, mobility, athleticism, senses, stamina, reflexes, durability, endurance, etc. as well as an accelerated metabolism, a regenerative healing factor, and an enhanced immune system, In addition to these physical advantages, the serum also greatly enhanced Norman's already-above average intellect, making him a bona fide genius capable of making breakthroughs in advanced areas of genetics, robotics, engineering, physics and applied chemistry. The goblin formula is also said to have driven Osborn insane; defects in his personality were strongly augmented by the serum, resulting in dangerous mood-swings and hallucinations.

Notes[]
- He was one of the first villains to be killed by Iron Man.
- For some reason, his first alternative costume is named Insurgency despite the fact he never joined Spider-Man's insurgency at all.
- While he only physically appeared once, the Green Goblin is still the posthumous antagonist of the entire Marvel's Injustice series as his corruption of Iron Man caused the events of the series, it's also highly implied Norman Osborn planned his own death to ensure Iron Man's corruption. Furthermore, his main universe counterpart also almost pulled a comparable scheme on the behalf of Doctor Doom and makes the Insurgency's attempts at stopping The Regime more complicated.
- His plan to drive Iron Man insane by putting him through "The Useless Girlfriend moment" is a reference to the Spider-Man storyline The Night When Gwen Stacy Died, set in the mainstream Marvel Universe, in that story, The Green Goblin kills Gwen Stacy and called her worthless and useless, even almost made Spider-Man break his moral code and kill him, and he seemingly got killed by his own glider.
- Almost every villain despises Norman Osborn and blame him for Iron Man's descent into tyranny - from tricking Tony Stark into killing his own pregnant wife Pepper Potts and their unborn daughter, destroying Stark Tower, and those three city blocks, killing hundreds, if not thousands to provoking Iron Man into killing him for his own sick amusement. Even Knull the Symbiote God of all people, who is just as evil as the Goblin and 3000 times more dangerous, considers him a poison that deserves to be destroyed, Although Carnage is pure evil, Cletus Kasady tells Osborn that he caused death and destruction with "boring old zombie makers" Kingpin is disgusted how Norman made Iron Man a tyrant and Wilson Fisk blames Norman Osborn for turning Tony Stark into a tyrant (Kingpin lost his criminal empire, years of his life's work and the sole things to keep the memory of his late wife Vanessa Fisk alive), On the other hand, Mysterio (the John Doe version) only hates him for stealing the late Quentin Beck's Mysterio equipment from on top of killing Daniel Berkhart, Therefore, he only thinks Green Goblin went too far for selfish reasons, Thanos considers him a remorseless monster for what he did to Iron Man, the same applies to all the heroes all with even Spider-Man stating that while he did not approve of Iron Man murdering Goblin, he couldn't blame him for it and was upset out of anger towards Green Goblin himself and disappointment towards Iron Man for afterwards and that Iron Man ended up helping Green Goblin win against Spider-Man himself.
- Because of this, he is often considered one of the evilest versions of the Green Goblin ever portrayed. He is the most disliked: not because people hate him, but because he lacks most of his classic, comedic and comical traits from the comics and the Raimi films and some dislike the concept of him being the one who corrupted Iron Man.
- Almost all the DC comic characters (even though there DLCs) despise Green Goblin for what he did to trick Iron Man into killing his beloved Pepper Potts and their unborn child, destroying Stark Tower, and making Iron Man kill him, and disgusted on how he caused Spider-Man so much pain and misery, Batman makes it clear that Osborn is worse than The Joker (he tells Iron Man that he is more insane then Joker), Superman is not happy to see Green Goblin, Wonder Woman is disgusted at Goblin's actions at the Stark Tower incident, All other Justice League members such as The Flash, the Green Lanterns, etc. have a undying hatred towards Goblin for causing Spider-Man pain and misery and his actions at the Stark Tower incident. The Joker thanks Green Goblin for proving his point of "one bad day", Lex Luthor is disgusted at Norman Osborn for what he did to make Iron Man to kill his wife and unborn daughter all to set a bomb in Stark Tower, all other DC comic villains such as Reverse-Flash, Sinestro, etc. are disgusted at Goblin for his actions.
- While being interrogated by Spider-Man, he revealed to Peter that the reason why he drove Iron Man to madness is because he was tired of losing to Spider-Man himself, and Spidey telling him that no matter what kind of power Iron Man might be influenced by, he cannot be corrupted. Green Goblin proved Spider-Man wrong with what he did to Stark Tower and the three city blocks of New York and died at Iron Man's hand, knowing that he finally defeated Spider-Man, and successfully claimed victory over his web-slinging nemesis.
- Considering the fact that the Green Goblin destroyed Stark Tower and those three city blocks, killing hundreds, if not thousands of people, he has the highest kill count of any version of the Green Goblin.
- Green Goblin is one of the main reasons why Iron Man became a tyrannical villain, The other is Black Widow, who encouraged his excessive actions after the Stark Tower incident.
- Unlike many versions of the character, Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin lacks the same humor and charm that many of his other versions have. He is a pure Hate Sink earning the hatred of almost every single character in the franchise even the worst villains absolutely despise Norman Osborn.
- He is the fourth version of Norman Osborn on this wiki.
- He might be the first version of the Green Goblin to be a Hate Sink.
