Normie Osborn

Normie Osborn is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the grandson of Norman Osborn and the eldest son of Harry Osborn. After gaining part of Carnage's power and giving birth to a symbiote, Rascal, Normie becomes the second Red Goblin.

In the alternate future continuities of Spider-Girl and The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, Normie becomes the Green Goblin and romances Spider-Man's daughters Mayday Parker and Annie-May Parker, initially serving as a villain before being turned to the side of good and becoming Venom.

Normie Osborn first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #263 (April 1985), and was created by Bill Mantlo and Al Milgrom. He appeared in Green Goblin stories throughout the 1990s, generally portrayed as hating Spider-Man.

Normie Osborn is the son of Harry Osborn and the grandson of Norman Osborn. After Harry dies from the effects of the Goblin formula, Normie bonds with Peter Parker, who becomes a sort of surrogate uncle to him. A trio of robotic "Goblin women" (one of a number of failsafes prepared by Harry before death) kidnap Normie, intending to turn him into a new Green Goblin. Spider-Man and Molten Man (Normie's uncle) defeat them before he can be exposed to the Goblin formula.

Normie is seen in a Sensational Spider-Man issue playing baseball, being watched from the stands by Molten Man and Chameleon, while Electro is in the shadows. No harm comes to Normie, but Chameleon uses his safety as a bargaining chip to bring the Molten Man into his plan to attack Spider-Man after the hero's recent unmasking.[volume and issue needed]

Normie reappears after the One More Day storyline. Now Normie hates his father for supposedly abandoning him when Harry was mistakenly believed dead while being high on the Goblin serum. His hatred for Spider-Man is also reignited.

After Norman Osborn re-establishes himself as a major crime lord called the Goblin King, undergoing plastic surgery to also establish himself as a businessman named Mason Banks, he claims this is to provide a suitable inheritance for his grandson Normie, with Normie's mother Liz Allan apparently helping Norman in this endeavor.

When Norman Osborn acquires the Carnage symbiote and transforms into the Red Goblin, Osborn attempts to gain his grandson Normie's aid by infusing a portion of the Carnage symbiote into Normie, turning into "Goblin Childe". Despite the symbiote amplifying Normie's jealousy of his half-brother Stanley, Normie throws off its influence when he witnesses his grandfather try to kill his parents, realizing in the process that the villain was actually his own grandfather and not Spider-Man. The symbiote fragment is subsequently separated from Normie while the main symbiote is apparently destroyed. However, it showed that some of the symbiote still remained in Normie's body.
