Green Goblin in other media

The Norman Osborn version of Green Goblin appeared in the 1960s Spider-Man animated series, voiced by Len Carlson. The character is depicted as a dimwitted, spoiled robber who is obsessed with magic and the supernatural - fields of expertise that the original iteration is never interested in, preferring to use technology to commit crimes.

The Norman Osborn version of Green Goblin appeared in the 1981 solo Spider-Man animated series, voiced by English actor Neil Ross. This depiction was much closer to the comic book original than the preceding animated incarnation. He appears in the episode "Revenge of the Green Goblin". In the episode's continuity, Spider-Man first faced and defeated the Goblin three years earlier, during which the opponents were unmasked to each other. Having regained his memory during a train accident at the start of the episode, Osborn resumes his Goblin persona and equipment, and threatens to reveal Spider-Man's true identity to the world.

Harry Osborn is mentioned in the episode "The Vulture Has Landed".

The Norman Osborn version of Green Goblin appeared in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, voiced by Dennis Marks. This incarnation is similar to the Lizard, with the Goblin being a different personality of Osborn that occasionally takes over to commit crimes. He also has a niece, Mona Osborn (voiced by Sally Julian), who was unaware of her uncle's double identity. In the series premiere "Triumph of the Green Goblin", Osborn becomes the Goblin again after a plane crash, and kidnaps Mona to lead him to the location of his formula that will allow him to transform New York's population into goblins. Osborn is eventually cured by lightning and sent back to a medical institute.

Both versions of Green Goblin appeared in the 1990s Spider-Man: The Animated Series; Neil Ross reprises the role from the 1981 series as Norman Osborn while Gary Imhoff voices Harry Osborn.

Norman is the owner of OsCorp Industries, depicted as a weapons manufacturing company under the influence of the Kingpin, whom he later tries to have killed by the Hobgoblin. He also has a vendetta against Spider-Man. Norman eventually becomes the Goblin in season three, after a lab accident at Oscorp causes him to develop an alternate, more violent and chaotic personality. The Goblin targets Norman's rivals, but is defeated by Spider-Man, although his identity remains a secret and Norman is shown to have no memories of the event. Later, the Goblin resurfaces inside Norman, and seeks to eliminate Spider-Man, the Kingpin, and the Hobgoblin. He obtains a time dilation accelerator and, after learning Spider-Man's secret identity, kidnaps Mary Jane Watson who is thrown into a dimensional portal opened by the accelerator. Spider-Man then defeats him, and the Goblin ends up falling into the same portal and is trapped in Limbo.

Harry is depicted as Peter Parker's best friend, although he grows jealous of him after Peter begins dating Mary Jane Watson. Following both Norman's and Mary Jane's disappearance, Harry becomes saddened and furious with Spider-Man. He is eventually driven over the edge and begins having visions of the Goblin who offers to tell him where his father is if he kills Spider-Man. As the second Goblin, he attempts to carry out his revenge against the web-slinger, but is defeated by the combined efforts of Spider-Man and the Punisher and sent to Ravencroft, where he receives medical treatment for his insanity. He later escapes and crashes Peter's and Mary Jane's wedding, demanding that the latter marry him instead. After Liz Allan reveals her feelings for him and convinces him that his friends care about his as well, Harry surrenders and returns to Ravencroft to continue his treatment.

An alternate version of Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) appears in the series finale's first part. In an alternate reality where Spider-Carnage destroyed New York, the Goblin is shown to have been one of the enforcers, and is defeated by a number of Spider-Men from different realities.

A Counter-Earth version of Green Goblin appeared in the Spider-Man Unlimited animated series, voiced by Rino Romano. This version's alter-ego is Hector Jones, and is portrayed as a hero who is helping the rebellion against the High Revolutionary. He also uses a backpack that sprouts wings instead of a glider.

The Goblin first appears in "Where Evil Nests", when mistaking Spider-Man for a villain. After putting aside their differences, the pair work together to save Naoko Yamada-Jones and Shayne Yamada-Jones from one of Venom's and Carnage's plans; it is implied that the Goblin is Naoko's jealous ex-husband. In "Sustenance", the Goblin learns Spider-Man's secret identity and that latter is from Earth, having come here to rescue John Jameson, but since Jameson refuses to leave until the High Revolutionary is defeated, the Goblin offers to help Spider-Man regain his ship from the High Evolutionary. The pair team up with the Rejects, a group of Beastials that the High Evolutionary got rid of since they proved useless, to do so, only for Spider-Man to then crash the ship into one of the High Evolutionary's towers. In the series finale "Destiny Unleashed", the Goblin is revealed to have survived and joined the Rejects, and briefly leaves them to help Spider-Man and the rebels fight against the High Evolutionary. He is one of the characters who run off when thousands of symbiotes are unleashed upon Counter-Earth according to Venom's and Carnage's plans.

Harry Osborn appeared in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, voiced by Ian Ziering. This version, pictured as a blonde, is Peter Parker's best friend, but has despises Spider-Man who he blames for his father's death prior to the series' events. However, he shows signs of beginning to put the grudge aside in later episodes.

Norman Osborn is alluded multiple times, making small cameos as both a hallucination to Harry and in a photograph. He apparently was the Green Goblin and died in a battle against Spider-Man at some point prior the events of the series; however, no one other than the web-slinger knows about his alter-ego.

The two major versions of Green Goblin appear in The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series voiced by Steve Blum; Norman Osborn (voiced by Alan Rachins) is the one to adopt the alias while Harry Osborn (voiced by James Arnold Taylor) is considered an initial suspect.

Norman is portrayed as Oscorp's cold and calculating head who is known to never apologise and has a strained relationship with his son. In season one, he is hired by crime lord Tombstone to create several supervillains to distract Spider-Man from Tombstone's crimes. Norman's experiments result in the Sandman and the Rhino. The Goblin later appears as a mysterious criminal equipped with stolen technology from Oscorp, attempting to overthrow Tombstone as New York's reigning crime boss, causing the lab accident behind Doctor Octopus, and has two battles with Spider-Man but gets defeated in the second. Spider-Man follows the Goblin to Oscorp and is suspicious that it's Norman behind the mask, only to find Harry in the Goblin costume. Spider-Man and Norman then conclude that Harry's theft and consumption of “Gobulin Green” resulted in the Goblin persona to fight Tombstone. After Spider-Man agrees to keep Harry's secret on the condition that the villain never reappears, Norman embarks on a tour to Europe with Harry so his son can overcome the addiction. In season two, Norman returns with Harry to New York, and hires Miles Warren to be one of the scientists to work at ESU alongside Curt Connors. He also begins to mentor Peter Parker. After Tombstone, Silvermane and Doctor Octopus are all arrested by Spider-Man, the Goblin resurfaces as the new "Big Man of Crime" in New York. He again tries to kill Spider-Man, first by using Molten Man, and then by trapping Spider-Man in an advanced prison alongside many criminals put away by the web-slinger, but both attempts fail. In the series finale, the Goblin has a final showdown with Spider-Man while the Chameleon is hired to pose as Norman. When the Goblin is unmasked, Norman revealed that he framed Harry to protect his identity, and tries to justify his actions by claiming of only protecting Harry. A grueling battle with Spider-Man then sends him crashing into a stash of his own pumpkin bombs where he seemingly dies. However, Norman is later shown to have survived and leaves New York under a fake identity.

Harry, meanwhile, is depicted as Peter Parker's and Gwen Stacy's best friend who has a strained relationship with his father and longs to impress him. In season one, the stress and constant disappointment in Harry's life prompt him to steal Oscorp's experimental formula "Gobulin Green", which increases his self-esteem and aggressivity. He is later believed to be the Goblin after Norman frames him to cover up for the Goblin's actions, and goes on a tour to Europe with his father to overcome his Gobulin Green addiction. In season two, Harry begins dating Gwen, and later helps Spider-Man unmask the Goblin, learning that it was his father all along. After Norman is seemingly killed in a battle with Spider-Man, Harry vows revenge against the web-slinger.

Several depictions of Green Goblin appear in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series:

• The first version is Norman Osborn (voiced by Steven Weber[2]). His Green Goblin form is an amalgam of his Ultimate Marvel iteration's green-skinned monster appearance and his original incarnation's use of a glider and pumpkin bombs. In season one, Norman has a strained relationship with his son Harry and is Doctor Octopus's initial employer, whom he has help in a master plan is to obtain Spider-Man's DNA for a mass-produced Spider-Soldier army, unaware that Peter Parker was bitten by Oscorp's genetically modified spider. Doctor Octopus's genetic guesswork for Norman results in a living armor always needing a host: the Venom symbiote. Norman later discovers Harry's connection to Venom and gets intrigued by his son's abilities. Norman ultimately lures Spider-Man to Oscorp's secret lab, but Doctor Octopus betrays Osborn by injecting him with a serum mixed with both Spider-Man's and Venom's DNA, resulting in his Goblin transformation. While savage at first, he soon regains his intelligence, and later attacks the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, stealing a glider and electric gauntlets. When the Venom symbiote resurfaces inside Harry, the Goblin tries to have Venom join him, but fails before escaping with the symbiote. In season two, the Goblin returns with a different glider and gauntlets. He kidnaps Peter, injecting Peter with a symbiote sample that transforms into the Carnage symbiote whom he sends to kill Spider-Man. When Venom arrives instead, he's outmatched, forcing the Goblin to flee. He later allows himself to be captured and taken to the Helicarrier, whereupon he releases the symbiote to infect everyone aboard. To battle Spider-Man, he briefly is Venom himself before Doctor Octopus creates a cure for those infected by the Venom symbiote, restoring the Goblin back to his human form in the process. Norman later tries to make amends for his crimes as the superhero Iron Patriot, and acts an ally of Spider-Man's team, until Doctor Octopus transforms him back into the Goblin. With goblin versions of Power Man, Nova, White Tiger and Iron Fist as enforcers, the Goblin tries to transform all of New York's population into goblins, but is thwarted by Spider-Man and captured. The Goblin continues causing strife in Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors. He is unintentionally released during a battle between Spider-Man's team and Taskmaster's team, and goes on to steal the Siege Perilous and imprison Electro inside, creating a device that allows him to travel between dimensions in an attempt to collect DNA samples of different versions of Spider-Man which he then uses to become the even more deranged Spider-Goblin. He also reveals that he deduced Spider-Man's secret identity, before he is defeated by the Spider-Men from all the dimensions he visited and restored to his human form, in the process losing all memories of his time as his Goblin alter-ego, including Peter's identity. In a dream created by Nightmare, Norman appears as the Goblin King who, in an alternate future where Peter stopped being Spider-Man, killed most of Earth's heroes and took their weapons as trophies. Norman is again an ally of Spider-Man and readopts his Iron Patriot moniker in Ultimate Spider-Man Vs. the Sinister Six. It's revealed that he inoculated himself with an anti-goblin serum as a promise to Harry, which he supplies to Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider in large quantities. Norman also helps to defeat Doctor Octopus when another attempt is made on his life, and assists in dealing with further aggravation with the Anti-Venom symbiote. In the series finale, Norman helps to restore Spider-Man's powers, while revealing that he had recovered his memories but chose to keep Peter's identity secret out of respect.
• Harry Osborn (voiced by Matt Lanter) does not use the Green Goblin moniker, but instead serves as the Venom symbiote's first major host. He is Peter Parker's best friend, Norman's estranged son, a student at Midtown High School, and a friend to both Mary Jane Watson and Flash Thompson. While he plays a relatively minor role in the first three seasons, he has had some major appearances, mainly in scenarios involving his father and Venom, and fought Spider-Man's allies several times as Venom, before he eventually rejected the symbiote's control. He also mended his relationship with Norman after his father ceased being the Goblin. Harry acts as the superhero Patrioteer in Ultimate Spider-Man Vs. the Sinister Six as well as the Anti-Venom symbiote's host. He is left in a coma by an ion-inhibitor, but recovers when the Carnage symbiote infests Manhattan and sacrifices the Anti-Venom symbiote to destroy it. He later resumes his Patrioteer moniker to help Spider-Man and Agent Venom save Mary Jane from the Carnage Queen, and presumably joins the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy as he is seen at the Triskelion in the series finale.
• The third version is the Ultimate Marvel iteration of Green Goblin (also voiced by Steven Weber) and has demonic-esque wings.
• The fourth version is a female incarnation of Green Goblin (voiced by Wendie Malick). Norma Osborn is the Green Goblin of a universe where everyone's gender is reversed, and the nemesis of Spider-Girl (Petra Parker). Her Goblin outfit resembles that of the classic Green Goblin from the comics, though she also dons electric gauntlets like her prime counterpart. In Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors, her prime universe counterpart arrives in the gender-swapped universe and the two Goblins joins forces to eliminate their respective versions of Spider-Man. While the prime Goblin manages to escape to another reality, Norma is defeated by the combined efforts of Spider-Man and Spider-Girl.

Harry Osborn (voiced by Max Mittelman[3]) and Norman Osborn (voiced by Josh Keaton[4]) appear in the late-2010s Spider-Man animated series, though neither adopt the Green Goblin moniker.

Harry is the creator of the Goblin technology which he uses to fight crime as a superhero, eventually adopting the Hobgoblin alias which is an amalgamation of his Ultimate Marvel incarnation and Phil Urich. He is Peter Parker's best friend, a student at Horizon High and later Osborn Academy, a friend to both Gwen Stacy and Anya Corazon. Throughout season one, he views Spider-Man as a menace during their various encounters. He proves instrumental in curing the Jackal's Spider virus, and in the process discovers that Peter is Spider-Man, which fractures their friendship. He's later convinced that Spider-Man is a menace by working with the Sinister Six, but learns that Peter is actually being mind-controlled by Doctor Octopus and rescues his friend, with the pair mending their friendship in the process. Harry later discovers that his father tried to kill Spider-Man, but chooses to side with his friend and witnesses his father's apparent death in an explosion. Following this, Harry remains friends with Peter, and is Oscorp's new CEO. In subsequent seasons, Harry assists the Spider Team against dangerous super-villains: the Goblin Nation, the Symbiotes, and even his father.

Norman is Harry's strict father who has high expectations and Oscorp's CEO while recruiting Spider-Man's various rogues (Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Spencer Smythe, Alistair Smythe, Curt Connors, Rhino and Jefferson Davis) and ripping off other inventions (Spider-Slayers, Vulture Force, Octobots, Goblin Mech and Tarantula). In season one, he establishes the Osborn Academy for Geniuses as a way of saving Harry from embarrassment after being suspended from Horizon High (even though he caused Harry's suspension) while plotting against the Spider-Men (Peter Parker and Miles Morales), Max Modell and Raymond Warren. Exposure to the Jackal's spider virus subsequently mutates him into the Spider King, but he is cured along with everyone else mutated. Norman later entrusts Harry to destroy Spider-Man so that his son would be New York's sole protector. When Harry refuses, Norman impersonates the Hobgoblin in an attempt to kill Spider-Man himself. A final confrontation with Spider-Man and Harry in his lab results in a green chemical explosion which Norman seemingly perishes in. The character returns in Spider-Man: Maximum Venom as the Dark Goblin. He formulated a conspiracy to turn the board of education against Spider-Man and Max then restored himself using a combination of symbiote DNA and the Jackal's latest serum. However, Norman is reverted into human form and taken into custody while his conspiracy is exposed by the Spider Team.

The Norman Osborn version of Green Goblin makes several non-speaking appearances in the anime Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers. He also appears in Marvel Future Avengers, voiced by Hiroshi Yanaka in Japanese and Dave Wittenberg in English.

Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin in Spider-Man.

Both incarnations of the Green Goblin appear In Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, with Willem Dafoe portraying Norman Osborn, and James Franco playing Harry Osborn:

• The Green Goblin first appears as the main antagonist of the 2002 film, with Norman portrayed as OsCorp's strong-minded yet troubled head who has a distant relationship with his son while possessing a deep respect and admiration for Peter Parker. Harry, meanwhile, is Peter's best friend and yearns to impress his father, growing jealous of Peter's closeness to him. The Green Goblin is depicted as an alternate personality who "speaks" to Norman through a mirror in his home. Acting as the unhinged enforcer of Norman's desires, the Goblin claims that Norman is too weak to achieve them himself. After being faced with the loss of the military funding that would mean the end of OsCorp due to them taking too long to develop their super soldier formula, Norman decides to test it on himself. It enhances his strength, but also drives him insane, leading to the creation of his alternate personality. Stealing an experimental glider and cybernetic flight suit, the Goblin kills the military contractors who threatened to pull out of their deal with Oscorp, leaving Norman with no memory of the incident. Months later, rival firm Quest Aerospace offers to buy out OsCorp, prompting the company's main shareholders to fire Norman from his position as CEO. The Goblin later exacts revenge by killing the shareholders during OsCorp's World Unity Festival, where he also fights Spider-Man for the first time. Later, he proposes Spider-Man to join forces, and when the hero refuses, the Goblin vows to kill him. After deducing his secret identity as Peter, the Goblin kidnaps Mary Jane Watson and forces Spider-Man to choose between rescuing her or a car full of Roosevelt Island Tramway passengers. Spider-Man rescues both, and then battles the Goblin on North Brother Island, during which the villain is unmasked as Norman and defeated. In a final attempt to kill Peter, Norman accidentally impales himself with his glider and asks Peter not to tell Harry about the monster he had become, before dying. Later, Harry holds Spider-Man responsible as his father's murderer and vows revenge, unaware that his father was the Goblin.
• In Spider-Man 2 (2004), Norman remains an antagonistic presence as a spirit haunting Harry, urging him to avenge his death. Two years after the first movie, Harry has taken over OsCorp and still seeks revenge against Spider-Man. He funds Otto Octavius' fusion power experiment, but loses all the money he invested when the experiment fails, with devastating consequences. After Octavius becomes a villain and attempts to recreate the experiment, Harry strikes an alliance with him, providing a rare hydrogen isotope he needs to complete a fusion reactor in exchange for Octavius' capture of Spider-Man. Upon unmasking the hero, Harry is shocked he is Peter, and later refuses to kill him when a hallucination of his father in a mirror demands him to avenge his death. After smashing the mirror in anger, Harry finds a secret lair containing the Green Goblin's equipment, and deduces that his father was the infamous villain.
• In Spider-Man 3 (2007), Harry has become the New Goblin to exact his revenge on Peter. He uses the same performance-enhancing gas as his father and adapts most of the Goblin's leftover weapons into his own arsenal including retractable arm-blades and an ionic sword. After a fight with Peter early on in the film, Harry is knocked unconscious and sustains partial amnesia; he remembers his father's death, but not Spider-Man's involvement or his identity, allowing him and Peter to be friends again. However, Harry later recovers his memories after another hallucination of his father urges him to avenge his death. Again seeking revenge, he sabotages Peter's relationship with Mary Jane and then claims that she left Peter for him. Under the symbiote's influence, Peter fights Harry in his penthouse, culminating with Peter throwing one of Harry's pumpkin bombs back at him, which scars the right side of Harry's face and leaves him half-blind in his right eye. At the climax of his film, Harry learns the truth about his father's death from his butler, and becomes the New Goblin one final time to save his friends when Venom and Sandman kidnap Mary Jane to lure out and kill Spider-Man. During the battle, Harry takes a fatal blow meant for Peter, and later dies with his two friends at his side.

• Norman Osborn is mentioned in The Amazing Spider-Man as the founder of Oscorp who is dying from an unknown disease. It is revealed that Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) is working on an experimental treatment that could potentially cure Osborn. Rajit Ratha (Irrfan Khan), Connors' superior believing that Norman does not have much time attempts to get him to rush the experiment by doing human trials to test it's capabilities however Connors' refuses and is fired as a result. Connors eventually tests it on himself trying to regrow his missing arm but ends up transforming into the Lizard.
• The Harry Osborn incarnation of the Green Goblin appears in the 2014 film The Amazing Spider-Man 2, portrayed by Dane DeHaan. This incarnation is also Peter Parker's childhood best friend, although the two have been separated for years due to Harry being sent to a boarding school around the same time Peter's parents disappeared. After coming home, he reunites with his estranged father Norman (played by Chris Cooper), who is dying from fictitious "retroviral hyperplasia," a genetic disease that begins to develop at Harry's age. Norman gives Harry a small device containing all his research, and dies the following day. Now the CEO of Oscorp, Harry analyzes the device, and learns that he and Richard Parker worked together to develop genetically-altered spiders, which could be used to create a cure for his disease. Believing that Spider-Man's blood could work as well, Harry asks for Peter's help in finding him. However, when Peter visits Harry as Spider-Man, he refuses to help, out of fear at the possible side effects and not wanting a repeat of Curt Connors' incident, which leads Harry to despise Spider-Man. Peter, during his investigation into his parents' murder learns that his father fled Oscorp to prevent his research from falling into Norman's hands as he wanted it to create bio-weapons and sell them to foreign powers, when Norman found out, he ordered Gustav Fiers' brother, a hitman to kill Richard and his wife by sneaking into and sabotaging their plane. Later, Harry learns from his assistant, Felicia Hardy, that the spiders' venom was stored in Oscorp's Special Projects division before their destruction. Upon being framed by Donald Menken for Max Dillon's accident (which transformed him into Electro) and subsequently fired from Oscorp, Harry frees Electro and enlists his help in getting back at Oscorp, whereupon he forces Menken to take him to the cross-species spider venom. However, the venom only accelerates Harry's disease and disfigures him, forcing him to steal a prototype suit that partially heals him, and a glider. He then confronts Spider-Man after Electro's defeat and, deducing his identity, kidnaps Gwen Stacy. After a battle at a clock tower, Harry is ultimately defeated, but Spider-Man fails to save Gwen from falling to her death. Later, Harry is imprisoned at Ravencroft and is visited by Gustav Fiers, with whom he arranges the formation of a team to take down Spider-Man.
• Both Chris Cooper and Dane DeHaan were set to reprise their roles in the Sinister Six spin-off and The Amazing Spider-Man 3, with Norman Osborn successfully coming back to life after freezing his head and becoming the Sinister Six's leader. However, due to Marvel Studios and Sony reaching a deal to produce a second reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise, the sequel and spin-off were cancelled.[5][6]

This version of the character takes heavy inspiration from the Ultimate Marvel universe, although he still features visual elements from various other previous incarnations, and is under Kingpin's employ.[7][8] The Goblin is first seen fighting the Spider-Man from Miles Morales's universe alongside another one of Kingpin's henchmen, Prowler, during the first test of the Super Collider, which Kingpin plans to use to access different dimensions and reunite with an alternate version of his family, after this universe's version died in a car crash. During the battle, the Goblin shoves Spider-Man into the Collider's blast, resulting in an explosion that severely injures Spider-Man and kills the Goblin, whose corpse is later found buried under rubble by Miles. Additionally, the Green Goblin of the older Peter Parker's universe can be briefly seen in his introductory montage.

To do so, they send several flying robots after him, and later create spider-shaped robots to track him down, but both of these attempts fail. After being fired for taking too much time to develop the serum, Osborn decides to try it on himself, which leads to his transformation into the Green Goblin. He attacks a festival and kills the executives who fired him with bombs, before fighting Spider-Man, to whom he offers an alliance, but the hero refuses.

• The Norman Osborn version of Green Goblin appears in the Spider-Man virtual pinball game for Pinball FX 2 released by Zen Studios.[10]
• The Harry Osborn version of Green Goblin appears in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game, voiced by Kevin Dorman. Similarly to the film, Harry becomes the CEO of Oscorp after his father dies from a terminal illness, and later discovers that he is slowly dying from the same illness, becoming desperate for a cure. In a departure from the film's plot, Harry also works with Wilson Fisk to finance the Enhanced Crime Task Force, meant to help the police contain criminals more easily, unaware that Fisk is planning to use it to replace Spider-Man, and that intends to take over Oscorp once Harry dies. After discovering that Spider-Man's blood could help cure him, Harry asks for his help, but Spider-Man refuses out of fear for the side effects, leading Harry to despise him. He later injects himself with Richard Parker's spider venom in the hopes of curing his illness, but it disfigures him and drives him insane. Adopting the Green Goblin alias, he attacks Spider-Man, but is defeated and incarcerated. In the mobile version of the game, the Goblin is a super-villain working for Oscorp who attacks Spider-Man twice in an attempt to collect his blood for Oscorp's experiments, as well as exact revenge on him for intervening with Oscorp's illicit businesses.
• Several variations of Green Goblin appear as bosses in the Spider-Man Unlimited video game, including the mainstream version, the Gold Goblin, the House of M iteration, the Grey Goblin and Menace. In the game, the other Goblin characters are alternative reality versions of the mainstream version.
• The Osborns appear in Marvel's Spider-Man, with Norman voiced by Mark Rolston and Harry voiced by Scott Porter while Norman's wife and Harry's mother Emily makes a cameo appearance as a photograph and is mentioned by Harry in the side missions centered around him.
  • Norman is the former CEO and co-founder of Oscorp alongside his former best friend and college lab partner Otto Octavius, and the mayor of New York City. Corrupt and self-serving, Norman uses his position to have Oscorp technology implemented throughout New York City and also shuts down government funding for Octavius Industries in a thinly veiled attempt to get his former best friend Otto to rejoin Oscorp though the latter refuses out of contempt, Otto is thus forced to reach out to A.I.M for funding. He even tries to persuade Otto's assistant Peter Parker to join Oscorp by using his friendship with Harry as means of offering him a position, which Peter refuses, choosing to stand by Otto. He is chiefly responsible for the creation of "Devil's Breath", an experimental medical treatment for genetic disorders (closer to a bio-weapon in its current form) in an effort to save the life of his terminally ill son. Norman's crimes drive much of the game's plot, with Mister Negative and later Otto who finally snapping at Norman's deceit and becoming Doctor Octopus wreaking havoc throughout New York City in an attempt to exact revenge. While Spider-Man is able to contain the damage caused by the villains and save Norman's life, despite him having declared martial law and branding the webslinger a fugitive, Norman's actions, including his decision to hire Sable International as a security force (resulting in massive civil rights violations) and the revelation of his role in creating Devil's Breath, force him to resign as mayor in disgrace. The game also references his future persona as Green Goblin in a level where Mary Jane Watson uncovers a secret lab in Norman's penthouse containing experimental weaponry and genetically modified spiders similar to the ones behind Spider-Man's powers.
  • Harry is Peter Parker and Mary Jane's best friend and, unlike his father, selfless and very carrying towards others. He was inspired by his mother to study environmental law and used Oscorp's resources to install various research stations in New York to monitor environmental conditions which Spider-Man can help with in a side-quest, allowing Oscorp to approve Harry's data for general use. Although Norman tells Peter and Mary Jane that Harry is on an extended vacation in Europe, he's actually a victim of "Oshtoran Syndrome", the same degenerative genetic disease that killed his mother. Norman's work towards developing a cure led to the creating of the deadly virus code-named "Devil's Breath". He first kept his illness a secret from Peter and Mary Jane, under the guise of being extremely drunk and hungover from partying, because he was worried of how they would react if they found out, until he eventually reveals the truth to them via a letter, when his illness worsens up. Before he was set to be placed in suspended animation to keep himself alive, Harry asked his father to send the letter to both Peter and Mary Jane, but Norman secretly ignored his son's request. In a post-credits scene, Harry is revealed to be kept in a holding tank with a black web-like substance (possibly a Symbiote) keeping him alive while his father continues to work on a cure.
• The Osborns appear in the mid-credits scene of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Harry is shown to still be kept inside the tank, until Norman orders scientist Curt Connors, who had been monitoring him to finally release him after seeing him regain consciousness, despite warnings from the latter that it is too early and might be dangerous.

  • He appears as a boss in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, with Steve Blum reprising the role. He led the Sinister Six in an assault and hostile takeover of the Raft. As a result of Star-Lord using the Space Stone to transport all of the Infinity Stones, they all fell into the hands of Earth's villains, such as Green Goblin who acquired the Time Stone. After succumbing to the power of the Time Stone, Green Goblin was trapped in a time loop until he received a vision of Thanos standing atop the fallen bodies of Earth's heroes with all six Infinity Stones in his possession. Spider-Man offers him a second chance to save the universe before the Infinity Stones fall into Thanos’ hands, but Green Goblin is left far too traumatized by the vision, so Spidey ensures he'll be safe at the Raft.
