Birth of the Goblin

In a few short weeks, so much had happened. Thanksgiving came and went, Aunt May was sent to the Hospital, I was able to crack the code for the Oz Formula, and my prototype armor was completed, improved, and production has started.

Today was the day I became the Goblin. With the death of Norman coming up, I need to be prepared for anything that will happen.

Walking through the Oscorp testing facility, I watch the armors get put through the ringer. We professional soldiers wear the armor to test and see if they were able to be used by the average soldier. We had them go through a combat simulation to test its durability, how comfortable it is, and how usable it is on the field. So far it has been able to withstand a bullet used to kill elephants. Those bullets are about half the size of my forearm. The wearer of the armor was able to take the shot and all it did was bruise him slightly and knock him back a little bit.

"Well, it looks like my Idea was a success!" I smile as I walk around.

"Sir, this new Material is miraculous! It is stronger, lighter, and cheaper than Titanium! All of these armors would have cost us almost ten times as much had we used almost any other metal."

"That is great news Doc, if we can convince the army to buy this instead of focusing on the serum, we could make four times the projected profit!"

Walking around one last time, I head to the now abandoned Serum Chamber that Green Goblin used at the beginning of the movie. After Stromm was killed, the room was shut down from further use for the police investigation, but afterwards… it simply never reopened.

At least, until now.

Entering the room, I activate the computer terminal and put in my personal override code. Activating the machine, I put the now completed and perfected Oz Formula into it so it can turn it into gaseous form so I can inhale it.

Drinking the catalyst, I strap myself to the table, slowly the table I was strapped on went into the chamber and set me upright.

"Computer. Gas the Chamber." I say

As soon as I say that, I watch as the serum slowly starts filling the chamber, slowly reaching my mouth and nose.

Taking a deep breath of the gassed serum I immediately feel a change occurring. Immediately a burning sensation started in my chest, flowing through my veins and encompassing my entire body. Muscles felt like they were expanding, yet also compacting. My organs felt like they were on fire, burning and changing.

Everything hurt.

I was convulsing in pain as every muscle in my body grew stronger and denser and every organ quickly growing to become more powerful and becoming superhumanly healthy.

What felt like hours later (It was probably only minutes), it finally stopped.

"*pant pant* Computer… Ventilate chamber…"

On the bright side, I am not crazy and killing people. On the down side, I am exhausted.

Stepping out of the chamber, I nearly collapse. Dang, how the hell did Norman just jump out of the chamber and kill Stromm with a possessed appearance. I feel like I just ran a dozen Triathalons…

Finally making my way to the limo, I slide in and ask Bernard (Our Butler) to drive me home.

"Busy day sir?"

"Something like that Bernie… Something like that."

After a good night's sleep and a cup of coffee, I feel spectacular. The serum seems to have increased my IQ exponentially. Where before I had troubles making everything work on my suit and adjusting the helmet so it would work right, I now understand so much better and I seem to be capable of coming up with absolutely insane ideas that could actually work.

So right now I am back in my workshop working on modifying the armor I got to fit my own designs. I already have the helmet made; all I have left is perfecting the body.

And finishing the Glider, but that can wait for later.

The Helmet is a masterpiece, It looks like Defoe's mask from Spiderman, but it has a metallic sheen and is made from the same material (Adamantine) as the armor is. Instead of the mouth and the eye's being retractable, showing my own eyes and mouth, I came up with a slightly different approach. Instead of going like Defoe's Mask, my mask can split open at the jaw, revealing my face. The jaw line will split and the upper half of the mask will rise till the teeth of the upper half are on my forehead. Now that I think of it, it reminds me of how Venom appears when Eddie wants to talk face to face.

The eyes are connected to my computers in my workshop and the various Police frequencies around New York, showing me exactly where there is trouble and the level of severity. It can scan a person and my personal facial recognition software will pull up files on the person and tell me anything I need to know, whether they have ties to any gang bosses or terrorists. The mouth of the mask has a slight voice changer, making my voice go from my usual smooth baritone to a slightly deeper gravelly voice. Think batman but with a slightly higher pitch.

The Armor in itself is rather impressive; capable of taking a beating, it has a variety of defenses and weaponry by itself without the addition of Pumpkin Bombs and Razorbats. The hands of the suit has little, retractable, razor sharp claws, similar to Black Panther, made of Adamantine. The wrist gauntlets have a variety of weapons, stuff like darts filled with a knockout toxin and poison, trackers that can be shot out to attach to an opponent and a small handheld blade that can de-attach from the fore arm of the suit should the claws prove ineffective. The suit itself is insulated against a variety of attacks. It is insulated against heat, cold, and electric attacks making it incredible useful against foes like Electro, Pyro, or even Ice Man. Blunt trauma is protected against because of the Adamantine in the armor, I could probably take a punch from the Thing without much more than a bruise. Another important part is I now have my own Utility belt, with Razor Bats, a few gadgets, and a variety of other stuff that would take all day to list out.

But the best part? The armor is non-ferrous, meaning Magneto can't control it! Hopefully I will never have to test it, but I am honestly not sure if the X-Men exist in this universe or not. Considering that the Spiderman trilogy is in the MCU right now, the possibility of an X-Men team is very real.

I should probably look into that...

After the suit, my weapons are my favorite part. I've been thinking on it for a while and I decided to keep a lot of the Green Goblins weaponry as my own. Razor Bats, Pumpkin Bombs, etc. will still be a big part of my arsenal, but I am hoping to add a few other things as well, possibly make a few trick Razor Bats or Pumpkin Bombs that release a knockout gas after throwing it. So far I have created some prototype trick Razor Bats, some can explode three seconds after contact, so if I wanted to hurt someone I could throw it into a wall next to a person and have it explode, I have one that produces an electric shock on contact, and one that can release a knockout gas. I'm thinking of scrapping the last one considering I already have a pumpkin bomb that does that, but it could be useful for the element of surprise.

Finishing up the suit, I stand back in wonder, it was a beauty… (Think the Green Goblin Armor from TASM movie but instead of something that looked only half complete like the movie , it is totally done.)

Thank goodness I changed the color and removed the Oscorp brand from the suit, I don't want Oscorp in any way connected to the Goblin. Hopefully I can keep it a slight secret for a while.

For each of the different branches of the military, Oscorp altered the armor slightly to better suit that branches needs. The Air Force was the same color as their standard jumpsuits and was designed to withstand high pressure while still being comfortable to the wearer. The mask was designed to look like a standard mask like the air force uses, the only difference is it has its own oxygen supply capable of lasting up to two hours, anymore and the suit would have been too awkward. It also has its own personal parachute, all you need to do is press a button on your forefinger, similar to how Ant-Man shrinks.

The Army's is a sandy color with a camouflage pattern all over it, it was designed to not only keep the wearer cool, but also keep them protected. Its mask has night vision built in and a filter for the mouth, making sure no sand gets in.

The Navy's is a blue and grey camouflage design with specific underwater tactical gear should the need arise. With two hours of air, it is designed to withstand the pressure of up to 400 feet below the surface all the while keeping them comfortable at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Their masks have thermal imaging, so they can see under water and at night.

My suit however is a sort of dirty green with grey highlights on the sides and edges, with the utility belt and the claws and weapons on the gauntlet, it should pose a different look than what is shown in the US Military.

Combine that with my Goblin themed helmet, it should be unrecognizable.

Just as I was about to get busy working on a new design for the glider, my police scanner went off.

Looking at it, I scan the report.

"Oh no… Not now, not now!"

Putting on my suit and tossing the helmet on, I grab Norman's spare Glider and fly out the window.

The police report?

Spider-Man and the Green Goblin were fighting at the Brooklyn bridge, School children in trouble.

This was the night that the Green Goblin died.

This was the night that The Goblin was born.
