Editing Green Goblin (Raimi) (section)

===Spider-Man: No Way Home===
In ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'', an alternate version of Norman Osborn, along with his Green Goblin persona, is transported into the MCU's universe in 2024 due to a spell cast by Doctor Strange. This spell, meant to make everyone in the MCU forget that Peter Parker was Spider-Man, malfunctioned when Peter altered its parameters, pulling individuals from across the Multiverse who knew Spider-Man's identity into the MCU.

This variant of Norman Osborn is taken from a point in his timeline before his death during the events of his final battle with his universe's Spider-Man. However, he arrives still under the influence of his Green Goblin persona. Initially, the Green Goblin asserts dominance, attacking the MCU Spider-Man and another Multiverse variant, Doctor Octopus, before they are teleported away. Confused and lost in a New York City unfamiliar to him, Norman eventually regains control of his mind from the Goblin, leaving him frightened and disoriented.

Realizing the potential for destruction the Green Goblin could unleash in this new universe, Norman seeks to separate himself from his malevolent alter ego. He retreats to a secluded alleyway, where he abandons his iconic glider and sets down his Goblin mask. However, the Green Goblin’s voice resurfaces, taunting and berating Norman for what he perceives as weakness and cowardice. The Goblin insists they have "a new world to conquer" and mocks Norman's attempts to resist, declaring that he cannot escape his true nature.

Distraught and desperate, Norman smashes the Goblin mask in defiance of his alter ego, shattering it in the alleyway. Despite this act of resistance, the Green Goblin’s influence lingers, as evidenced by his laughter echoing in Norman’s mind as he flees. This moment marks a pivotal conflict between Norman’s genuine remorse and the Goblin's unrelenting malevolence, setting the stage for further chaos in the MCU.

Norman Osborn's variant meets the MCU Peter Parker and his allies after escaping from the Green Goblin’s control. Seeking refuge, Norman finds an advertisement for F.E.A.S.T. and heads there, hoping to find his universe's Spider-Man. At F.E.A.S.T., he meets May Parker, who offers him food, coffee, and new clothes to disguise his Green Goblin armor. When the MCU Peter Parker arrives, Norman realizes that this Peter is not the one from his universe.

Norman explains his predicament, sharing that Oscorp and his son Harry do not exist in this world, and his home is occupied by strangers. He reveals that he struggles with a split identity, describing the Green Goblin as a separate persona who takes control, leaving him with no memory of his actions. His panic subsides as May and Peter assure him they will help.

After learning he is in another universe, Norman accompanies Peter to the New York Sanctum, where he meets Peter’s friends, Ned and MJ. Mistaking MJ for Mary Jane Watson, Norman is surprised to learn that her initials stand for Michelle Jones. Norman then encounters other displaced villains from alternate universes, including Doctor Octopus, [[Sandman (Raimi)|Sandman]], [[Electro (The Amazing Spider-Man)|Electro]], and [[Lizard (The Amazing Spider-Man)|Lizard]].

Norman is particularly shocked to see Otto Octavius and recognizes him as a friend from his own universe. However, Otto refers to Norman as a "walking corpse" and reveals that Norman had died years ago in their timeline. This revelation stuns Norman, as Sandman confirms Otto's claim and shares that he, too, had died in his universe. Norman grows increasingly concerned about returning to his timeline, fearing the consequences of his death on his son, Harry.

When Doctor Strange attempts to send the villains back to their respective universes, Norman pleads with the MCU Peter for help. Hearing his plea, Peter intervenes, imprisoning Strange in the Mirror Dimension. Norman offers his scientific expertise to help cure himself and the other villains of their afflictions, recalling a line he had spoken in his own universe: “I’m something of a scientist myself.” Peter agrees, and with May's help, they take the villains to work on solutions to their conditions.

Norman’s cooperation seems genuine at this point, though the lingering presence of the Green Goblin foreshadows further chaos.

When Norman, still free of the Green Goblin’s influence, arrives at the MCU Peter Parker’s friend’s apartment, he is amazed by the advanced technology of the MCU. He collaborates with MCU Peter to create a new neural inhibitor chip for Otto Octavius, aiming to restore his higher brain functions and free him from the control of his tentacles. During this time, Norman expresses admiration for MCU Peter’s intelligence and skill, even jokingly offering him a job at Oscorp if interdimensional commuting were an option.

After successfully helping restore Otto’s mind, Norman begins drafting cures for the other villains. However, his cooperation is short-lived. MCU Peter’s Spider-Sense alerts him to the Green Goblin’s return. Once confronted, the Goblin taunts Peter, reveals his ongoing control over Norman, and manipulates the uncured villains into turning against Peter. This results in a brutal fight where the Green Goblin overpowers the MCU Spider-Man and escapes after fatally wounding May Parker with his glider. The loss of May devastates Peter, driving him into a vengeful rage.

Later, during the climactic battle at the Statue of Liberty, the Green Goblin sabotages the spell box, causing a multiversal fracture. He battles the MCU Spider-Man once more, this time facing an enraged Peter who nearly kills him. However, the Norman Osborn of the Raimiverse (Peter-Two’s world) intervenes, stopping MCU Peter from repeating the tragic mistake of letting vengeance consume him.

The Green Goblin, in a last-ditch effort, stabs Peter-Two in the back but is ultimately subdued when the Webbverse Peter (Peter-Three) throws an antiserum to MCU Peter. MCU Peter injects the serum, neutralizing the Green Goblin’s alter ego and freeing Norman from its influence.

A guilt-stricken Norman is horrified by the harm he caused while under the Goblin’s control. Before the multiverse cracks worsen, Doctor Strange casts a new spell to make everyone forget the MCU Peter Parker’s existence. The cured Norman, along with the other villains and the alternate Spider-Men, is returned to his universe, now free of the Green Goblin's corruption, with his fate altered and a chance for redemption.
