Spider-Man PS4: Every Villain Confirmed (So Far)

2. Norman Osborn

Regardless of which persona takes his fancy, Norman Osborn is a threat to Spider-Man. The real head-scratcher is how much of a danger does he pose to the crime-fighting hero's way of life? Depending on the whims of Insomniac, this version of Osborn Sr. could be the amoral, but sane, billionaire owner of a multinational corporation, or that very same industrialist, only stripped of his sanity and sporting the additional tendency to impersonate a psychopathic goblin.

Right now, it's impossible to pin down which scenario Insomniac has gone for, as evidence for both realities exists. We know, for instance, that during the course of the game, Norman will covertly hire Silver Sable to pursue Spider-Man (an unnecessary act, were he able to do so himself as Green Goblin) but at the same time, his alter ego is a recurring member of the Sinister Six.

It's entirely possible that Norman's inclusion will be as part of a build-up for potential sequels, but with five members of the aforementioned group already confirmed, only one slot remains and it needs to be filled by someone. If not Osborn, then who?
