===Green Goblin===
Businessman Norman Osborn used an experimental serum on himself, increasing his strength and intelligence but giving him an evil persona. Thus, Spider-man's arch-nemesis the Green Goblin was born, dressing up as a halloween-themed supervilain in a goblin costume, wielding pumpkin-shaped bombs and riding initially on a rocket-broom, later on a metal glider shaped like a giant bat. What reason could the Green Goblin have to hate the wall-crawler so much? When he first appeared, he tried to kill Spider-man to get respect from the mob, and Spidey had the audacity to not get murdered. That's it. Since then, he's been dedicated to making spider-man's life miserable. He's responsible for killing Peter's original love interest Gwen Stacy, and was revealed to have been the mastermind of the infamous Clone Saga. At one point, Norman took over S.H.I.E.L.D. in what would be called the Dark Reign era, and created a team of Dark Avengers, made up of villains and anti-heroes, with himself as a Captain America/Iron Man knockoff called Iron Patriot.

Others have taken up the title of Green Goblin, notably Norman's son Harry, Harry's psychologist Bart Hamilton, and Phil Urich who initially tried to be a hero. Similarly, there have been knockoff Goblins like the Hobgoblin (originally a rich asshole who wanted to rip off Norman's tech but others have taken the mantle), Jack-O-Lantern (a separate series of knockoffs who got some of Hobgoblin's tech as well as set their heads on fire) and the Demogoblin, a literal demon who was bound to a Hobgoblin before splitting off and being edgy as all fuck because it was the 90's.
