Insomniac's Spider-Man 2: Every CONFIRMED Detail We Know
6. Norman Osborn Is Close To Becoming The Green Goblin
Norman Osborn finds himself in pretty dire straights by the end of Spider-Man PS4. He's resigned from the office of the mayor, and is equally as resigned to being nowhere closer to developing a cure for his son Harry, who he keeps locked away in a secret lab in his apartment.
Whatever his situation, it's clear that Norman is running out of alternatives, and Insomniac were evidently keen to emphasise that a villainous turn isn't all that far away. Mary Jane discovers a prototype mask laying on his desk which can identify 'structural weaknesses', and there are a bunch of spherical, 'prototype hand-grenades' laid across one of the lab's tables too.
The signs are obvious; the mask will eventually become the goblin's, and those 'grenades' on the desk are actually pumpkin bombs. They may not be orange yet, but the green and purple colour pallet spells only one thing: the Green Goblin.
Some have also hypothesised that the green goop suspending Harry is none other than OZ too - an Oscorp-manufactured mutagen that created not only Spider-Man, but several of Spider-Man's villains too, including the Green Goblin. This all took place in the Ultimate Universe, already a key influence on Insomniac's title, so it may be possible that comes into play somewhere along the way.
