Who is Norman Osborn?

Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin, a wealthy and ruthless industrialist whose exposure to an experimental formula granted him superhuman strength and accelerated intellect — at the cost of his sanity. He becomes one of Spider-Man's most dangerous and personal enemies.

Few villains cast as long a shadow as Norman Osborn, who made his catalog debut in Homem Aranha #1 in 1979 — a Bronze Age introduction from the legendary creative team of Stan Lee, John Romita, and Don Heck. Across more than three decades of Levoir publications, he haunts titles like A Teia do Aranha and Marvel Série II, keeping sinister company with the likes of Homem-Aranha, Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and Homem de Ferro. His presence in any issue signals high-stakes drama, and even with a modest nine appearances in this catalog, his weight is felt — this is a figure whose name alone carries decades of comic book infamy.
