Green Goblin: Harry Osborn
built 634 days ago
The movie is from some of the best Spidey comics ever: the deaths of Gwen Stacy and the original Green Goblin (Norman Osborne). Dan takes the reins as Spidey/Peter Parker, an incredible Jimi Kinstle as Green Goblin/Norman Osborne (Hell if Willem Dafoe passed on the movie Id love to have seen this guy as the Goblin. He was brilliant) The story is solid, the stunts are nuts (Poole swings around a 7 story building in a Spider-Man costume), the costumes were very well done (I prefer the homemade Goblin costume in this to the Power Rangers looking one in the movie) and the acting was definetly good. This is a hard to come by video, but it pops up on ebay every so often. If you can get your hands on it you will not be disappointed.

Spider-Man #97- The Final Chapter part 2- Norman Osborn stands there as he has his employees dress him in his Green Goblin costume. His workers are tremendously nervous, and one notes that Osborn is different since the Gathering of the Five. He asks if the Alison Mongrain situation has been resolved. They say that she is dead, but that she got to the Parkers and told them. The guy asks Osborn not to kill him. Osborn says that despite his new godlike power he is still a man. He does say ... that May is too important to his future plans to lose.

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.

Plotting to become leader of the underworld, Osborn created his Green Goblin personae and decided to establish his reputation by killing Spider-Man. He tried numerous times, including ambushing Spidey in Hollywood with Fancy Dan, Ox and Montana. Devising a compound that would weaken Spider- Man's spider-sense, he followed the Web-slinger undetected. Snatching Spider-Man while he was in his civilian identity of Peter Parker, the Goblin carted him back to a secret hideout. There he revealed to Peter his own secret identity. During the battle, the Goblin came in contact with live wires, which seemed to jolt him into partial amnesia.

In the Spider-Man: House of M from the 2005 Marvel comics series House of M, there are two versions of the Green Goblin. The first is Peter's wrestling friend and rival Crusher Hogan, who uses the identity as his wrestling franchise. The second is Peter Parker himself, who, feeling guilty posing as a mutant when really he was a human given powers in the usual Spider-Man fashion (radioactive spider bite), poses as the Green Goblin to reveal the information about him being a human to J. Jonah Jameson, his then publicist, and eventually the entire world. Norman Osborn is ... present in this continuity, as an industrialist whose company is bought out by Peter.

Before Norman Osborn becomes the Green Goblin, he tests Stromm's serum on an Oscorp employee named Nels Van Adder. The serum has an adverse effect on him, mutating him into a demon-like creature called the Prototype Goblin, or Proto-Goblin for short. Adder constantly harasses and attacks Osborn until he is shot dead by detectives and his body falls into a nearby river. This was not part of the original continuity and was retconned into the story in 1997.
