Gabriel Stacy (of Earth-616), also known as the Grey Goblin, American Son, and Kindred, is a clone of Norman Osborn who he believed to be his father and and Gwen Stacy his mother. He has a twin sister named Sarah Stacy.
History[]
Norman Osborn, also known as Spider-Man's enemy the Green Goblin, had his genetic template used to construct a clone as part of a revenge scheme thought up by his son, the same was done with the use of Gwen Stacy's Dna which, created the twins Gabriel and Sarah. The two were led to believe that Norman Osborn and Gwen Stacy where their parents, to whom the later gave birth while in France. Among these fabricated memories contained Gwen vowing she would raise them with Peter Parker and refused to allow Norman access to them. Seeing her as a threat to his potential heirs, the Green Goblin killed Gwen and then raised the two children. Due to them being clones the twins aged about 2-3 times faster than normal and became adults within the span of a few years. Norman Osborn was led to believe these were his children and told them that Peter was really their father and was responsible for their "mother's" death.
The twins then attacked Spider-Man. Peter Parker received an unsent letter written years ago by Gwen Stacy. He could tell that there were faint traces of writing on the other side, so he had tests performed on it by a forensics lab. The tests revealed text stating that Gwen had been pregnant and had twins. He collected DNA from the grave of Gwen Stacy and proved that the twins, Sarah and Gabriel shared her DNA. Mary Jane (who Mysterio implanted memories of the fabricated affair) then revealed that she had known for years that the father of Gwen's children was Norman Osborn. Peter became so enraged that he broke everything within reach.
He met Sarah and Gabriel on the Brooklyn Bridge, the place of Gwen's death, to tell them that Osborn had been manipulating them. Angered, Gabriel remained convinced of Osborn's lies that Peter was their father, and that he had abandoned them. Sarah, on the other hand, believed Peter. Gabriel then attacked Spider-Man, but Peter refused to fight back since he didn't want to hurt Gabe. Police then shot at them, wounding Sarah and causing her to fall off the bridge. While Spider-Man rescued her, Gabe went underground to an area predetermined by Norman Osborn. There, he discovered that Peter had been telling the truth.

Enter the Grey Goblin
He injected himself with the Goblin Formula and donned a gray version of the Green Goblin costume, becoming the Gray Goblin. Sarah shot at him (to protect a weakened Spider-Man), causing the Glider to blow up. He landed on a beach, with amnesia. He later returned home to Paris where Sarah secretly cared for him. While his sister left to be trained as an Interpol agent, Gabriel fled the Osborn estate in a crazed state.
Heroic Age[]
Gabriel had resurfaced having shot his "half-brother" Harry for having received a better life from their father. It's shown that Gabriel had stolen the American Son armor, but is currently suffering from a split personality disorder. As himself Gabriel commits crimes while his 'American Son' persona undoes the damage Gabriel had caused, who identifies itself as the part of Gabriel that recognizes that what he is doing is wrong. Norman then informs Harry that Gabriel is, in fact, his brother and is punched by him for that.
Gabriel overheard a planned ambush by a police squad and proceeds to attack them, before he can do any real damage however, he is stopped by Spider-Man. Later, after kidnapping a reporter named Norah Winters and luring Harry to a vacant warehouse, Gabriel made another attempt on Harry's life. Harry manages to get into the warehouse and begins to fight Gabriel, while attempting to convince him that Norman is nothing but pure evil. Gabriel ignores him and continues to fight his brother; only for Harry to deactivate the American Son armor via remote. Gabriel and Harry are then caught in an insuring blaze as a result of the fight, but are saved by Spider-Man. Gabriel was then seen in a psychiatric hospital then receiving a package; containing the American Son helmet and a note from Norman. Gabriel reads the note saying that Norman loves and misses him. Gabriel eventually reappeared under the name Kindred alongside his sister before they eventually aged to death due to them no longer being able to be genetically maintained.
Powers & Abilities[]
Powers[]
Gabriel has injected himself with the Goblin Formula, and thus possesses the following abilities;
- Superhuman Strength: The Goblin Formula fortified Gabriel's musculature, connective tissue, and bone structure, granting him superhuman strength. He possesses sufficient strength to lift in the 800 lbs-25 ton range.
- Superhuman Stamina: The Goblin Formula increased the overall efficiency of Gabriel's musculature. As a result, his muscles produce less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of normal humans.
- Superhuman Durability: The Goblin Formula fortified all of Gabriel's bodily tissues, making them far tougher and more resistant to injury than normal humans.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Gabriel's reflexes are similarly enhanced by the Goblin Formula, and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.

Notes[]
- During Brand New Day,? Gabriel was believed to no longer exist as he was mentioned only once and not mentioned again. This was later proven to be untrue, as Gabriel revealed himself to still be alive and took on the name Kindred but soon discovered he in truth was clone of Norman effectively retconning Sins Past. There were hints of this being the case as in one issue, Spider-Man stated that Harry Osborn is Norman's only son. It is also mentioned by Norman that he cannot impregnate a woman who hasn't taken the Goblin serum; something that Gwen didn't do. Though curiously when Molecule Man tortures Norman and the Dark Avengers; in Norman's fake memories one showed a pregnant Gwen Stacy being killed. It is assumed disregarding the fake memories that when Norman stated that he could only impregnate a woman who has taken the Goblin Serum; he may have been referring he could but with massive side-effects, and since Lily Hollister had taken the Goblin Serum; her child may have a chance for normalcy.
Trivia[]
