Original Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) Appreciation 2022

[Mistah K88]

The problem is that Norman barely used the power he logically would have by being a corrupt rich guy, even in Ditko's run, the biggest thing that makes him being rich and corrupt that has focus on is how he fucked over Mendel Stromm, and soon after that he was doing stuff like putting disguises to do **** around instead of just hiring people, and hell, even in ASM#37 Norman was doing stuff by himself.

Luthor's post-Crisis revamp isn't really infleunced by Norman, because Norman's power as a rich person was barely scratched, and while Ditko set him up to be a threat as Norman, that ended up not happening, Norman was just a corrupt businessman who was mildly harmless for most of Romita's run, only really doing stuff as Green Goblin (Even that was just twice), and it's Conway who got rid of him, but the Norman side didn't really use his power.

So yeah, there's little of Norman in post-Crisis Luthor, he's more blatantly influenced by Miller's revamp of Kingpin, to the point I remember people saying that post-Crisis Luthor was just skinny Kingpin.

Interestingly it seems that Norman was a rich guy who REALLY wanted to do blue collar crime. Like he'd have more power and influence in his civilian position, but even going back to his original goal of becoming a mob boss, he just wanted to get in that action.

I kind of think that him having amnesia when he wasn't dressing up was mistaken for a split personality in adaptations like Spider-Man the animated series and the perception of Raimi's Norman. I'll have to look at older issues again, but did amnesiac Norman really feel like a completely different person?

Have there being any leaks about Norman becoming evil again?

Was there someone talking about it on the Amazing spider man 15 storyline on 4chan?
