===Early Life=== "Your mother was beautiful too. They're all beautiful until they're snarling after your trust fund like a pack of ravening wolves..." ―Norman Osborn to Harry Osborn Norman Osborn was born on October 11, 1945, in Massachusetts to Ambrose Osborn and an unnamed mother. From an early age, Norman displayed remarkable intelligence, consistently excelling in school and skipping several grades. However, his home life was far less positive. His father, a failed businessman and inventor, regularly abused both Norman and his mother. This toxic environment drove Norman to focus on academics, where he found recognition and validation. In 1963, at the age of 18, Norman graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), becoming its youngest graduate on record. His academic brilliance fueled his ambition, and he quickly established Oscorp Technologies, a firm that initially achieved significant success. With his early profits, Norman relocated to New York City, purchased a luxurious home, and married a woman named Emily. Despite these achievements, Norman’s life began to mirror his father’s struggles. By 1976, Oscorp faced financial difficulties, forcing Norman to mortgage his home and exhaust every line of credit to keep the company afloat. The 1980s brought further challenges as Oscorp's scientists began to question Norman’s leadership, fearing for their own careers as the company’s future grew increasingly uncertain. In 1983, Norman spent two consecutive workdays trying to prevent a boardroom coup by disgruntled board members. During this tumultuous period, Norman befriended fellow scientist Otto Octavius and began funding his research through Oscorp. In June 1984, Norman's son Harry Osborn was born, but tragedy struck when his wife Emily passed away shortly after. As Harry grew up, Norman was deeply disappointed by his son's academic failures at prestigious private schools. However, Harry's fortunes began to improve when he attended Midtown High School in New York, where he met Peter Parker and formed a close friendship.
