(See also Harry Osborn)

  • Real Name: Harry Osborn
  • Identity: Not Publicly known
  • Group Affiliation: None
  • First Appearance: (as Green Goblin II) Amazing Spider-Man #136
  • Status: Deceased
  • Final Appearance: Spectacular Spider-Man #200

Powers & Abilities:

Early in his career, the second Green Goblin only had average strength and intelligence. However, after developing a variation of the original Green Goblin's goblin-serum, he developed super-strength on par with the original's.

Equipment & Weapons:

The Goblin's primary means of transportation is a turbo-fan powered glider called the "Goblin Glider" which is capable of great maneuverability and speeds up to 90 miles per hour. The Goblin used a variety of concussive and incendiary grenades fashioned in the shape of miniature jack o'lanterns as well as gas and other variety of bombs with a light plastic mantle that looked like a wraith when thrown. Finally, the Green Goblin's gloves were capable of channeling electrical blasts of up to 10,000 volts.

Origin:

While suffering from the bad side-effects of hallucinogenic drugs, Harry Osborn witnessed the "death" of his father (as the Green Goblin) while battling Spider-Man. The experience cracked his sanity, and after removing the Green Goblin costume from his father's body, Harry took on the mantle of the Green Goblin himself. Shortly thereafter, he discovered that his roommate Peter Parker and Spider-Man were one of the same, and so was born one of Spider-Man's worst and most tragic enemies.
