The original character was played by Willem Dafoe and the scary green mask with pointy metallic ears and eerie teeth has been a terrifying visual to watch for kids, teens and adults alike.
Who can forget the iconic duels fought between Spiderman and the Green Goblin?
One of the key characteristics of the Goblin-Osborn dynamics is that Norman tries to fight this alter-ego from taking him over. Essentially, Norman is not a bad guy, but as events unfold, he is drawn closer to the evil alter-ego. The two egos are seen conversing where the alter-ego tries to convince Norman to become evil.
