Norman Osborn was the founder and CEO of Oscorp and the supervillain known as the Green Goblin. Osborn was transported from his universe to Earth-199999 when Peter Parker tampered with Doctor Strange's spell to make the world forget that he is Spider-Man after his secret identity was exposed by Mysterio.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Norman Osborn shared the history of his counterpart; until he was transported from his universe into Earth-199999.
Spider-Man: No Way Home[]
Due to a spell cast by Stephen Strange, Norman was pulled into an alternate universe from a time after finding out Spider-Man's identity after visiting his apartment for Thanksgiving and before dying. Norman managed to retake control from his alternate persona and befriended May Parker, who encouraged Peter Parker to cure all of the villains that were also pulled into Peter's universe. Norman went with Peter and the other four villains to Happy Hogan's condo, where he and Peter worked together on creating cures, giving Otto Octavius a new inhibitor chip before the Green Goblin persona retook control of Norman's body. The Goblin convinced the uncured villains to turn against Peter before engaging him in a battle that demolished the condo. Aunt May managed to inject the Goblin in the neck with an anti-serum that Norman had developed for the Goblin Formula, but it failed to work on him. Desiring to free Peter of his "weakness," the Goblin mortally impaled May with his glider before blowing up the condo with one of his pumpkin bombs and flying away.
Peter was subsequently joined by two other versions of Spider-Man, one of whom is Norman's own Peter, and the three versions of Spider-Man came together to create cures for the villains brought into the alternate Peter's universe. Norman's Peter was able to create an anti-serum for the Goblin Formula to save him, revealing to the alternate Peter that creating it was something that he had been thinking about for a long time.
After the Spider-Men and Octavius cure the other villains at the Statue of Liberty, Norman's Peter transforming Flint Marko back into his human form using a Particle Accelerator created by Peter-One for the supercollider that transformed Marko into the Sandman, Octavius draining Max Dillon of his powers of electricity manipulation using an Electricity Siphon created by Peter-One for the accident with Bioelectric Eels that transformed Dillon into Electro, and Peter-One transforming Curt Connors back into his human form using an antidote created by Peter-Three for the Lizard Serum that transformed Connors into the Lizard, the Goblin appeared and destroyed Strange's spell with one of his pumpkin bombs, then used his glider to knock Peter-One away before he can save Michelle Jones-Watson from falling to her death, resulting in Peter-Three having to save her himself.
Peter-One, consumed by far more ferocity and savagery than before, destroyed the glider with another pumpkin bomb, then engaged the Goblin in battle, subjecting him to a far more ferocious and savage beatdown and nearly impaling him with the glider before being stopped by Norman's Peter. The Goblin non-fatally stabbed Peter-Two in the back, then taunted Peter-One about being the one who killed May, but Peter-One, consumed by far more ferocity and savagery than before, retaliated by injecting him in the neck with the anti-serum thrown to him by Peter-Three, destroying the Green Goblin persona and restoring Norman back to his normal self. Norman was left horrified and remorseful over his own actions before being returned to his universe alongside Peter-Two, Octavius, and Marko when Strange cast the spell to make everyone in the alternate universe forget about the existence of Peter-One.
Character traits[]
Norman Osborn is a kind, polite, and caring man. Although he is a bit arrogant, he is still a good man. Another personality of his, the Green Goblin, was a sadistic psychopath who liked to hurt both physically and psychologically. He is also prone to holding grudges, believing that morality was a weakness and that it suffocates people, and even making other people suffer out of spite, as shown when he psychologically and physically tortures Peter-One just because he reminded him of his own Peter, causing Peter-One to fight the Goblin back in far more ferocity and savagery than before. He was also very arrogant and megalomaniac, which led to his defeat when he was restored back to his normal self as Norman by a ferocious and savage Peter-One via an anti-serum created by Peter-Two for the Goblin Formula and thrown to Peter-One by Peter-Three (who suffered the same pain he inflicted on Peter-One when an alternate version of Norman's son killed his girlfriend out of the same hatred he had) after he taunts the latter over his aunt's death rather than escape to fight another day.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Superhuman Physiology: Due to exposure to the Goblin Formula, Green Goblin possessed superhuman physical attributes; such as superhuman strength, durability, speed, stamina, senses, intelligence, etc. It also caused him to develop a split personality, a high maintenance sociopath with unrestrained desire for power and influence.
- Superhuman Strength: Green Goblin possessed far more strength than normal humans, as shown when he powerbombs Peter-One through several floors of Happy's condo, damaging the teenager's ribcage.
- Superhuman Durability: Green Goblin possessed far more durability than normal humans. However, like his original timeline counterpart, it has its limits, as shown during his final battle with Peter-One, who subjected him to a far more ferocious and savage beatdown than what Peter-Two did to his original counterpart.
- Superhuman Speed: Green Goblin possessed far more speed than normal humans.
- Superhuman Stamina: Green Goblin possessed far more stamina than normal humans, allowing him to remain physically active for long periods of time.
- Superhuman Senses: Green Goblin possessed far more heightened senses than normal humans.
- Superhuman Intelligence: Green Goblin possessed far more intelligence than normal humans.
Abilities[]
- Genius-Level Intellect: Norman was an incredibly intelligent individual even before he was exposed to the Goblin Formula.
- Resources: Norman had an almost inexhaustible amount of wealth at his disposal. He used this to acquire advanced technologies and other weaponry for his vendetta against those who stand in his path.
- Master Hand to Hand Combatant: Like his original counterpart, the Green Goblin is a master fighter, as shown during his fight with Peter-One in Happy's condominium where he can punch the latter through the walls and hit him to the point that he goes to a distance, similar to what his original counterpart did to Peter-Two when the latter tries to punch him, only to kick the latter to a lamp post. However, his experience in combat is still lacking due to the fact that it was by Electro and Lizard's aid that he won against Peter-One, and he was later overwhelmed by a ferocious and savage Peter-One when the latter stops holding back and starts fighting like a martial artist.

Trivia[]
- Due to Norman/Green Goblin first appearing riding with his glider, it is possible that his appearance in Earth-199999 took place before he dragged his world's Spider-Man to an abandoned garden where Norman/Green Goblin died by his own glider while attempting to kill his Spider-Man, shortly after the latter saved their world's Mary Jane Watson and the hostage children from falling with the help of New York people at the Queensboro Bridge.
- As he knew of his Peter's identity since accidentally discovering it at Thanksgiving, Norman coming from a time not right before his death is a possibility as it was never explicitly stated when he was coming from.
