Biography[]
While working in his laboratory there was an explosion and Norman Osborn was exposed to an experimental gas. The gas gave Norman super strength. The gas also transformed Norman into a monsterous creature called the Green Goblin. Spider-Man fought and defeated Green Goblin and Norman returned to his normal self.
Norman later admitted himself to a sanitarium where he received treatment for his Green Goblin condition. When Norman was apparently cured he was released. However, Norman was not cured an transformed into the Green Goblin once again. Green Goblin went to Empire State University to get his Goblin Serum which he had hid in the Osborn Science Building. Green Goblin intended to use the formula to transform everyone in New York City into goblins. However, Green Goblin was unable to locate the formula. Green Goblin believed that Mona Osborn, the niece of Norman Osborn, knew the location of the formula and kidnapped her. Spider-Man rescued Mona but Green Goblin was able to escape with the formula and dumped it into New York City's reservoir. To keep the formula to keep from spreading to the drinking water, Iceman totally froze the water at the reservoir. Firestar then used her power to melt way a ball of ice that contained the formula and removed it from the water. At that moment Spider-Man was chasing Green Goblin. However, Green Goblin accidentally flew his glider into electrical wires and the massive amounts of electricity turned him back into Norman Osborn.
Three years later, Norman was in a train crash and this traumatic event caused Norman to transform into the Green Goblin again. Green Goblin went to the Daily Bugle and replaced the ink in the printing press with his Goblin Formula. This caused the Daily Bugle newspapers to dissolve into little pieces. Green Goblin did this as revenge on Jameson for ruining his company. Spider-Man chased Green Goblin as he flew away on his Goblin Glider. When Green Goblin got distracted he accidentally flew into a tanker truck and it exploded. Green Goblin survived and transformed back into Norman Osborn without any memory of what had happened.
