"All I wanted was to stop it. All I wanted to do was fix the problems before they happened. I know the mutants of this world will rise up and kill us. I know that the Hulk will one day decide to destroy everything he sees. I know the Punisher will one day kill the wrong person and set off a chain of events that will lead to nuclear holocaust. I know these heroes will dive head first into something they do not understand and end up doing such insane damage to the world that humans can no longer live on it. Victor von Doom will crush us under his last mad gasp of air. I know this is true. I know it. And I could have stopped it." ― Norman Osborn
Summary
Norman Osborn is the corrupt founder and head of Oscorp, a multi-billion dollar multinational corporation. After he took the experimental "Goblin Formula" to enhance his intelligence, his already unstable mind fractured further, leading to him becoming the original Green Goblin. In this role, he has been Spider-Man's greatest and most persistent archenemy, responsible for the death of Gwen Stacy. While his primary opponent and obsession is Spider-Man, his goals have branched out further in the past, and, at one time, he was the director of H.A.M.M.E.R., a replacement for S.H.I.E.L.D., and the leader of an Avengers populated by "reformed" supervillains, as the "Iron Patriot".
