10 Things Marvel Wants You To Forget About Green Goblin

5. His Original Name

With Norman Osborn having taken on various different roles over the years it should come as no surprise to learn that he hasn't always gone by the name of the Green Goblin. In fact, Osborn has gone by several different supervillain identities over the years, with the aforementioned (...sigh) Super-Adaptoid being just one.

In the years since his resurrection, Osborn has gone by the name of the Iron Patriot - during which time he possessed one of Iron Man's armours - the Goblin King, Overlord, and even the Red Goblin. It is the last name that brought about the most dramatic change to Osborn's character, showcasing the longtime Spidey adversary bonding to the Carnage symbiote whilst retaining all the traits of his Goblin persona.

Point being, Osborn hasn't been known as 'the Green Goblin' for a long time now, and with him now incarcerated in Ravencroft, it could be longer still until he takes it up again.
