Red Goblin (Norman Osborn)
- Main Article: Norman Osborn
Norman Osborn
After taking the Goblin formula, Norman kidnapped J. Jonah Jameson in order to find out who Spider-Man was. When the Goblin King came to the Goblin cache where Norman kept Jameson, Osborn killed him. After Osborn suited up as the Green Goblin, Jameson said how he could not stop Spider-Man since even throwing Gwen Stacy off the bridge didn't stop him fighting back. Those words made Norman remember why he did it and how Peter Parker was Spider-Man. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #797) The Green Goblin attacked the Daily Bugle and told Peter to go get Spider-Man. When Spider-Man finally arrived, he and the Goblin got into a brawl as the Bugle's staff evacuated. Osborn revealed he knew who Spider-Man was under the mask, and then revealed he had bonded to the Carnage symbiote. Osborn transformed into a monstrous form he dubbed the Red Goblin, causing Spider-Man to flee in terror. Incapacitating Peter, Osborn issued an ultimatum: give up being Spider-Man, or watch the Red Goblin painfully kill all of his loved ones. When Spider-Man accepted the terms, the Red Goblin left in triumph. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #798)
Red Goblin (Normie Osborn)

Normie Osborn
Setting out to fight crime as a superhero, Normie and Rascal encountered a resurgent Goblin Nation being led by the undead Goblin King Phil Urich, who had a grudge against Normie's grandfather Norman for murdering him as the original Red Goblin. Coming across some Goblin Nation thugs attacking a civilian, Normie and Rascal engaged them but were zapped by lightning from a Sparkle Gauntlet. Seizing control in a berserk rage, Rascal attempted to eat one of the Goblin Nation thugs but was distracted by a chocolate bar, enabling the thug to attack the Red Goblin with a Pumpkin Bomb and knock Normie unconscious. Puppeteering Normie's body, Rascal broke into a bodega and ate their entire stock of chocolate -- resulting in Normie being arrested by the police in the morning. Scolding Rascal for assuming the form of the Red Goblin and causing trouble by robbing the bodega, Normie decided to leave it at the Osborn Manor while he went to attend the grand opening of Harold Osborn Addiction Treatment Center. When Normie refused to take it with him and threatened to return it to Dylan if it didn't start behaving itself, Rascal flew into a rage and attacked him. Rascal hid under his bed when Liz Allan came in to check on him, spending the rest of the evening sulking. (Red Goblin v1 #1)
Overview
A newborn symbiote, Rascal is described by Normie Osborn as being like a puppy. Lacking a connection to the Symbiote Hive-Mind, it is inquisitive, naive, easily-distracted, and prone to lashing out in feral rages that Normie dubs "Goblin Mode" -- wherein it assumes a monstrous appearance similar to Norman Osborn's Red Goblin form. Much like the Venom symbiote, Rascal enjoys eating chocolate and is easily distracted by it. (Red Goblin v1 #1)
