Norman Osborn
for Norman Osborn in Spider-Man: Season 1 Episode 12
Suggested by vadim_havard
Ok so previously on Spider-Man we saw Norman tell me the story of how my parents died which took the length of an entire episode for some reason, also we saw Curtis Conners take something which I can only assume is bad for you. Now on Spider-Man we see Peter sitting on top of the Empire State building as the Goblin flies above him. Peter tells the Goblin he knows it's Norman under the mask. Just then the Goblin charges Peter. They fight through the sky as Norman tries to end Peter, but Peter manages to get the upper hand and escapes. Norman goes back home and talks to his butler Gustav and tells him that he became the Goblin only to stop Peter from exposing him but now it's personal. Just then Harry gets home with Gwen, and they sit down on the couch. Norman walks up to Harry covered in dirt and blood and tells Harry that the both of them need to leave. Harry asks what is going on but Norman screams at Harry to get out. After Harry and Gwen leave Norman goes back out. Meanwhile we see Peter return to Uncle Ben's house where Uncle Ben is waiting for him. Peter tells Ben that he is the Spider-Man and that he doesn't know what to do. Ben looks at him and tells him not to focus on his parents and focus on stopping Norman. Peter hugs Ben and we cut to credits.
