Biography
Origin
Norman Osborn is a male human who was native who existed on Earth-1610 in the Multiverse. (Ultimate Spider-Man v1 #1)
Norman theorized that if the OZ combined with spider DNA were behind Parker's abilities of a spider then Norman with OZ combined with his own DNA would become a heightened version of himself. However, his experiment would go wrong where it resulted in an explosion that affected his son and Dr. Otto Octavius whilst Norman was transformed into a grotesque, demon-like monster. (Ultimate Spider-Man v1 #3) In an attempt to destroy all evidence of his existence, the Green Goblin killed Norman's wife but his son Harry managed to escape while the house was burning down. (Ultimate Spider-Man v1 #4) The next day, he attacked Harry's school but was stopped by Spider-Man. During the fight, the Green Goblin plummeted off a bridge into the river where he was seemingly killed in the process. (Ultimate Spider-Man v1 #7)
