Powers: Superhuman strength, intellect, stamina, durability, agility and reflexes, regenerative healing factor from the Green Goblin serum.
Personality: The words that best describe Norman Osborn include cruel, sadistic, insane and power-hungry. He wants nothing less than complete dominance, and is willing to crush anyone who stands in his way. The explosion and aftereffects of the Green Goblin serum caused him to lose his sanity, making him severely psychotic and manic-depressive. This can cause him to make rash decisions. While he tries to control the Goblin personality, it continues to try to take over him completely.
When he is himself, Norman can be charming and charismatic, able to talk his way through business meetings and ballrooms alike. His intelligence and confidence make others look up to him, trusting him with their business. He can also do quite well with the ladies, when he chooses to do so. Norman is usually too preoccupied with business to have much of a social life though, and while he may take a date to the occasional business or social function, he does not currently have any serious relationships. Norman can’t risk it, not while fighting against the dark side of his inner self.

History: Born to wealthy businessman Ambrose Osborn, Norman grew up dealing with the abuse of an alcoholic father who eventually lost the family fortune. Because of this, he developed into a cruel child who became a hard man with a strong desire for money and power.
While at college for chemistry and electrical engineering, he meets and falls in love with a girl named Emily, and eventually marries her. After an all too brief period of happiness, Emily dies some time after the birth of their son, Harry. Her death tore Norman apart, and in his grief he turned his focus onto his business, ignoring his only child.
Norman co-founded the chemical company Osborn Industries, along with his partner Mendel Stromm, who he took complete control from by framing him for embezzlement. Using his ex-partner’s research, Norman developed a strength-enhancing formula which he planned to sell for profit. During his work though, the serum exploded in his face, putting him in the hospital. The serum gave him extraordinary powers of strength and endurance, as well as a healing factor. However it also destroyed Norman’s sanity, leaving him psychotic. His personality split; with part of it developing the persona of a villain he called the Green Goblin. As the Green Goblin, he developed an array of weapons, as well as a glider device, and used them to commit to a life of crime.
During his time as the Green Goblin, Norman came into conflict with the hero Spiderman, who he developed a deep and lasting hatred for. He also worked with various villains, including Scarecrow, the Enforcers, Lucky Lobo, and the Crime Master. During one fight with Spiderman, the Goblin is knocked out by an electro-chemical charge. This leaves Norman with amnesia and for awhile he exists as just the businessman Norman Osborn.
Eventually Norman’s memories came back and he returned to life as the Green Goblin and his vendetta against Spiderman. During this time, in one of his periods as Norman Osborn, he has an affair with Peter Parker’s girlfriend Gwen Stacy, who later gives birth to twins, Gabriel and Sarah. Gwen kept the children and returned to Peter. Enraged, Norman kidnaps Gwen and throws her off the Brooklyn Bridge, which resulted in her death. During the fight with Spiderman afterwards, the Goblin is impaled by his own glider and is believed to be dead. This incident shows Norman that he received a healing factor from the Green Goblin serum.
Years later, Osborn has distanced himself from the Green Goblin, but his insanity is only barely in control by the use of drugs. Currently he is in control of the major business empire Oscorp, and continues his efforts to take control of all business empires, and through them eventually all governments. At the back of his mind is also his driving need to destroy Spiderman.

The voice was a whisper in the back of his mind, dark and insidious; it had settled in for what seemed like forever now, and now matter what Norman did, what drugs he took to quiet the chaos of his mind, that voice always crept through, his constant evil companion.
“I am not him. I am not you. You can’t have me.” Norman whispered; the sound soft and almost unheard in the quiet of his office. It was after hours now at Oscorp, and Norman remained even though most of his employees had left for the day. The peace and quiet of the building was a welcome respite after the long day of what seemed like endless meetings and paperwork. Of course he had secretaries and assistants to take care of most of that, but some things he just had to handle himself. Unfortunately it was during these quiet times that the voice in his mind, the remnant of the Green Goblin that never truly went away. During the day Norman could use his work to occupy his mind and keep the Goblin tucked away, but when that was finished it was harder to keep the voice away.
I am part of you. You’ll never be rid of me. Why fight it? All your plans, your revenge, wouldn’t it be easier with my help? We could be rid of everyone who stands in our way, especially Spiderman. The voice continued, pushing further toward the front of his mind.
“NO!” Norman shouted, his voice echoing through the quiet of the room. “My conquests are my own; my victories will be my own. You will not control me again.” He said resolutely, not caring how appeared, shouting out to no one in his empty office. He was unaware that down the hall the cleaning crew could hear him and shuddered, fearful of the insane man they worked for.
You just keep telling yourself that. The voice said darkly, and Norman couldn’t avoid a shudder.
