Norman Osborn (Version 2.0)

Norman Osborn was a famed scientist who received government funding to work on cross species genetics. Osborn believed that the human race needed to mutate into something that could withstand the impending threat of climate change, and worked on research to advance his cause along with his wife and lab partner, Emily. One day, a group of students from Queens High School visited Osborn's lab on a field trip. The Greek demi-goddess, Arachne posed as one of Osborn's super spiders, and bit Peter Parker. Osborn believed the spider to be stolen by a student. As Osborn received less funding from the government, he started to suspect the superhero Spider-Man was created by one of his employees who left due to lack of funding. Pressured by evil government group Viper, Osborn fast tracked his human mutation experiments, and transformed into the Green Goblin. The experiment also killed Emily, something Osborn always blamed Spider-Man. Osborn kidnapped his former employees, and transformed them into six super villains, including Carnage, Swarm, the Lizard, Swiss Miss, Electro, and Kraven the Hunter. The villains became known as the Sinister Six. During the transformation, Osborn hallucinated, and witnessed the high school students he saw as When Peter Parker took the night off from being Spider-Man, the Green Goblin and the Sinister Six terrorized the city. Eventually the Goblin sent the Sinister Six to terrorize the city again. This time however, the Sinister Six was defeated by Spider-Man. The Goblin invaded the Daily Bugle, and told J. Jonah Jameson he had vowed revenge on Spider-Man for killing his family. Parker dreamed the Goblin had kidnapped and dropped the love of his life, Mary Jane Watson, off a bridge, with Spider-Man helpless to stop him. After Parker quit being Spider-Man, Osborn threatened him again. Parker returned as Spider-Man to find Osborn playing a villainous version of I'll Take Manhattan atop the Chrysler Building. Osborn revealed his plans to mutate the world, and told Parker he knew his identity after realizing every picture of Spider-Man for the Daily Bugle. He also revealed he'd kidnapped Watson and tied to a rope on the building 1000 feet above ground, that was ready to snap. The Green Goblin sprouted wings, and fought Spider-Man to the death across the city. Eventually, the Green Goblin was webbed to the piano he was playing. He threw off the webbing, believing it was attached for Spider-Man to catch him. However, it was actually meant to prevent him from falling. The Goblin, attached to the piano, fell and was killed.
