10 Things You Didn’t Know About The Green Goblin

In the aftermath of Gwen Stacy's death, Norman Osborn accidentally impaled himself with his own glider, seemingly ending his life. Although Norman was later revealed to be alive, he didn't return for 23 years.

But because of the Green Goblin's popularity, the Marvel team cooked up other characters to take the guise of Spider-Man's arch-nemesis. Unsurprisingly, the second Goblin was Norman's son, Harry. After being exposed to the Goblin formula, Harry adopted his father's mantle and became Spider-Man's enemy. After speaking to his counsellor, Bart Hamilton, Harry was seemingly cured of his psychosis. However, Bart used Harry's knowledge to locate Norman's weaponry and tech, turning himself into the third Goblin.

While Daily Bugle reporter Ben Urich was covering a story in Oscorp with his son, Phil, the facility was besieged by terrorists. In the conflict, Phil got doused with Goblin formula, turning him into Green Goblin #4. However, Phil tried to use the Goblin tech to protect humanity, earning him the moniker of Good Goblin.

When Norman reintroduced himself into society, he created an artificial Goblin construct so no one would suspect he was the real one (which obviously didn't work).

Despite his many imitators, there's no question Norman will always be the one true Green Goblin.
