10 Things You Didn’t Know About The Green Goblin
5. Gwen Stacy Isn't The Only Person He Killed
Gwen Stacy may have been the first human life he took but she was far from the last. When he initially faked his death, Norman Osborn strangled a drifter and placed it in the casket he was meant to be buried in. He then joined a Illuminati-like cult called The Brotherhood of the Scriers, and used its resources to shape events across the world. Wanting to repurpose the cabal to destroy Spider-Man, Norman killed all the high-ranking Scriers and named himself its soul leader. Although Spidey defeated him, Norman had his agent poison a heavily pregnant Mary Jane Watson, causing her to suffer a miscarriage.
As horrific as these murders are, it's only a small sample of the evil Norman has committed. Over the years, he has slaughtered employees, police officers, Atlanteans, Asgardians, Skrulls, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Ben Reilly, Swordsman, Doctor Octopus' old girlfriend, and Flash Thompson.
While he was in charge of a government funded agency, his task-force killed hundreds of people under his orders, including the Punisher. When you add it all up, Norman Osborn's death toll could very well be in the thousands.
