An evil secret identity running in the family is seldom ever a good thing - especially one as notorious as the Green Goblin. Add in a sprinkle of emotional abuse and a family fortune, and you have the continually tragic – but continually neglectful – relationship between Norman Osborn and his son, Harry.
