History
Green Goblin[]
Norman Osborn was the CEO of Oscorp Industries. After developing the Goblin Formula, he lost his mind and became the super villain known as Green Goblin. He quickly gained an archnemesis, the super hero Spider-Man.[1]

The Green Goblin
Learning Spider-Man's secret identity, Norman seduced his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy and the two had a son named Gabriel. As Green Goblin, he murdered Gwen in a battle with Spider-Man. He then took Gabriel under his wing and trained him as his spiritual successor, the Grey Goblin.[1]
In an attempt to frame his archnemesis, Spider-Man, Green Goblin hired Trapster to kill gangster Joey Z since their weapons had a similar product. Trapster felt guilty about this and told his partner Dusk, secretly an undercover Spider-Man, about what happened. He tried to attain for the murder by assassinating Osborn but was stopped by Dusk, who suggested he turn himself in instead. While in NYPD custody, Petruski confessed about his contract, allowing Spider-Man to arrest Norman.[1]
Out of prison, Norman hosted the Gathering of Five in the hopes of obtaining more power. Among the other participants was Jerry Franklin. None of the partakers received gifts; however, Jerry's daughter was endowed with the magnificent spirt of the spider instead.[1]
Sinister Six[]
Green Goblin was recruited into a multiversal Sinister Six and given command of their henchmen, the Sinister Soldiers. Spider-Man was able to oppose the Six by assembling a team of Spider-Men from across the Multiverse. Osborn was subsequently arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D..[1]
As the Superior Spider-Man started to attack crimelords across New York City, Osborn began recruiting their underlings into his Goblin Nation. After kidnapping NYPD forensic scientist Carlie Cooper, he read her diary and learned that Superior was really Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man's body.[1]

As the first Goblin King
He confronted Otto, revealed his knowledge, and offered him a position in his army as his second-in-command. Spider-Man refused and Goblin started to systematically ruin his life and destroy New York City. During what he thought would be their last confrontation, Osborn was caught off guard by when the Spider-Man that appeared was Peter Parker back in his own body. Peter managed to depower Osborn, forcing him to go into hiding.[1]
Red Goblin[]
Norman resurfaced along with an alliance of super-villains known as the Dark Avengers. Among his henchmen was the South American god Ai Apaec, who served as his Spider-Man.
After bonding with a portion of the Carnage Symbiote, Osborn regained his powers and his insanity and returned to the role of Green Goblin. He stole a lollop from AMP and fought an analog of Spider-Woman. He was among the villains who joined Classic Doctor Octopus's Sinister Six, only to be defeated by Spider-Man yet again. He later raided a comic convention, prompting him to be pursued by Cooper and Spider-Man.[1]
He eventually embraced the symbiote and became the Red Goblin. One of his first acts was to murder the new Goblin King, considering him an unfit successor. He later destroyed the majority of the Wild Pack, with only Silver Sable surviving. Norman later fought and was defeated by the new Wild Pack, which included a Venom-bonded Spider-Man.[1]
