Norman Osborn’s Gold Goblin Just Suffered His Most Karmic Defeat
Norman Osborn becoming a hero has proven to be a challenging but rewarding venture thus far for the former Green Goblin. Osborn really tried to do the right thing as the Gold Goblin, including helping the new Jack O’Lantern come off his villainous path. But unfortunately, his pitch failed, and Jack O’Lantern was murdered by the villain Queen Goblin, whose use of pumpkin bombs and a glider has made Norman unable to forget his own twisted history.
In “Gold Goblin” #5 by Christopher Cantwell, Lan Medina, Antonio Fabela, and Joe Sabino from Marvel Comics, Osborn deals with the Queen Goblin. The villain is the living manifestation of all of Norman’s sins, eager to return them to him. Queen Goblin reveals she used Jack O’Lantern to show Norman how much he is hated and how little he could do as a hero. However, before the villain can use her goblin gaze to return Norman’s sins, he knocks her to the ground and finds Peter Parker for help. After teaming up with Spider-Man, the pair go after Queen Goblin for the last time, and they exchange blows with the villain. Sadly, when Queen Goblin gets the upper hand against Norman and gets him off his glider, she uses her own glider to impale the newly turned hero. The sight is quite familiar to longtime fans of the “Spider-Man” franchise.
