It’s Week 5 of Goblin Month and the Smark Avengers are dedicating it to the be all and end all of goblins - the former Goblin King himself and the original Green Goblin - Norman Osborn! The lads found that there was simply too much Norman to cover in one episode so they’re extending Goblin Month to one more week as they cover the initial Green Goblin run for Norman in Part 1!

Norman Osborn is defined by his relentless megalomania, ruthless corporate ambition, and a fractured psyche torn between his cold-hearted genius and the unhinged sadism of the Green Goblin. As Peter Parker’s ultimate adversary, his obsession with power and control drives him to orchestrate elaborate, cruel psychological torments against Spider-Man. Whether it’s selling the soul of his unborn son for success or tossing Peter Parker’s first true love off of the top of George Washington Bridge, Norman has a special place in the hearts of Spider-Man fans the world over.

🎃Sit back and relax as the Smark Avengers walk through the life and times of Peter Parker’s greatest enemy including:

• Making a deal with the demon for Mephisto in exchange for wealth and power
• His bizarre first confrontation with Spider-Man on a fake movie set in New Mexico
• Discovering Spider-Man’s secret identity and killing Gwen Stacy
• His return as the mastermind behind the Clone Saga
• His arrest and assignment to the Thunderbolts that leads to becoming the hero of the Secret Invasion

All of this and more!
