Green Goblin

Phil Urich, nephew of Daily Bugle reporter Ben Urich, stumbled upon a hidden Osborn laboratory and donned a modified Green Goblin costume, gaining superhuman strength, speed, and a devastating ultrasonic scream, briefly serving as a heroic, if unconventional, version of the infamous villain.

Few legacies in Marvel lore cast as long a shadow as the Green Goblin's, and this particular incarnation — debuting in The Spectacular Spider-Man #225 in 1995 under the hands of Tom DeFalco, Sal Buscema, and Bill Sienkiewicz — carved out a distinct corner of that mythology in the Copper/Modern Age. Most at home in the pages of Spider-Girl and Amazing Spider-Girl, this Green Goblin is deeply woven into a corner of Marvel's future-tinged continuity, sharing adventures with the likes of Spider-Girl, Normie Osborn, Phil Urich, and Peter and May Parker — a roster that speaks to rich, multigenerational storytelling. With appearances stretching across sixteen years and into Avengers Next, this is a Goblin whose presence resonates well beyond a single story arc, making those 25 catalog appearances a rewarding trail for any fan willing to follow the glider into the next generation of Marvel history.
