History[]
Origins[]
Known as the Goblin throughout the underworld, Norman Osborn heads a local crime syndicate, employing a vicious gang of strange and twisted men culled from the dregs of the carnival freak-show circuit. Osborn collected this army of geeks and freaks to build a criminal empire based on the two things he desired all his life: fear and respect.
Though the Goblin's name certainly inspires fear and respect in his adult life, Osborn adopted the moniker the same way his most trusted Enforcers did - by growing up in a freak show. Osborn typically conceals the hideous green scales that cover his body and inspired the name behind a fake, flesh-like mask. (Ironically, it was these very scales that torment that recently saved the Goblin's life, when hundreds of venemous spiders covered him, yet failed to pierce his skin with their bite.) Few have seen his real face and have lived to tell about it.
