This article is about Norman Osborn from the Ultimate Marvel Comics. For his mainstream counterpart, see Green Goblin (Norman Osborn). He also appears in the animated series of the Ultimate Spider-Man, so see Norman Osborn (Marvel Animated Universe).

Norman Osborn (also known as the Green Goblin, Ultimate Green Goblin, or the Ultimate Goblin) is the main antagonist of the Ultimate Spider-Man comics. He was a corrupt industrialist, founder and CEO of Oscorp.

He is one of the creators of the many spiders that bit Peter Parker and Miles Morales, giving them arachnid superpowers and turning them into the hero known as Spider-Man. He has tried many ways to ruin the teenager's life, even successfully killing Peter and leading to Miles taking over responsibility as Spider-Man. However, the boy was brought back to life to unknown reasons. Every time he is killed, Norman comes back to life. With the new OZ serum, according to him, Norman is Immortal and therefore cannot die.

So? Huh? How do I look? Better or worse than the last time you saw me?
―The Goblin to Peter Parker since their last encounter
Circles!! Circles of life. Circles of death. Circles of hell. Circles of pain. Circles of responsibility.
―Norman's mentality
It's God's work. He wants us to smite our enemies, so we don't repeat our mistakes. He wants us to kill Peter Parker.
―Norman Osborn to the Sinister Six
You're making a mistake, Miles Morales... Without me, you'll never know the truth about who you are. You'll never know where your powers really came from. You'll never know who your father really is.
―The Goblin to the Ultimate Spider-Man.
No, Harry doesn't know that his dad is the next step in human evolution -- or that his best friend is, I mean was, Spider-Man. No. Not yet.
―The Goblin about Harry
One of our original test subject spiders was genetically altered using an earlier version of my super-soldier Oz Formula. That spider bit a young man and that young man not only survived but was given the proportionate strength and abilities of that spider.
―Norman recounting the Origins of Spider-Man, in his own way
My boy's name is Peter. Peter makes six.
―Goblin learning Spider-Man's identity as Peter Parker
Peter, you are, simply said, my finest hour. You are my greatest creation. We created you, Otto and I. We created Spider-Man. In a way, really, Otto and I are your parents. You were like everyone else, just a boy, and your real parents gave birth to the boy. But now, because of us, you're so much more... You're absolutely perfect.
―Norman Osborn to Peter Parker
It was I who made you who you are today, young man! You and Peter Parker! Therefore, you will respect me, Miles Morales!!!! You will respect your creator!!!
―A detanged Norman claiming to being both Miles'and Peter's "creator"
I'm going to destroy Nick Fury.
―Norman Osborn
There will be six.
―Norman alludes to the future Sinister Six
