This twelvemonth , Marvel is celebrate the fortieth day of remembrance of Spider - Man ’s legendary Black Suit geological era . To mark this occasion , the publisher has begin release variant covering fire of different fighter and villains in their own Black Suits . The most interesting of these edition is without a dubiousness that of the original Green Goblin .
Among the cover free byMarvelis artist Dan Panosian ’s Black Suit form forSpider - valet de chambre : Shadow of the Green Goblin#2 . These variant covert provide a feel into what would happen if other theatrical role got the Venom symbiote instead of Peter Parker . While some of these are n’t too alarming , like Spider - Woman or Iron Man getting it , the Green Goblin stand up out as a terrifying possibility . WhileGreen Goblin is presently one of Marvel ’s hero , this cover offer a terrifying look into what could have happened during his villain years .

Norman Osborn is already an absurdly deadly opponent and the accession of a symbiote would make him all the more pernicious . That ’s what makes this fatal costume variant covering so interesting for Norman , it ’s a tone at a different route he ’s already occupy .
For years , one of Spider - Man ’s great villains has been gone , but now it seems that the Green Goblin is poised to make his restitution to Marvel Comics .
This Wouldn’t Be The Green Goblin’s First Symbiote
Spider - Man ’s Black Suit erawas a major period in the persona ' story and is often considered one of , if not the most , important costume change a superhero has ever had . A dewy-eyed fan intent for a black suit changed Spider - Man lore forever with the plus of the symbiote . This has had far - reaching moment for not just Spider - Man , but the Marvel Universe , as major events engender from this one geological era . Without Spider - Man go through his inglorious cause era , characters like Carnage , Venom , and even Knull the King in Black would never live . A human race where Spider - Man did n’t get the black suit , but Norman did , would have been completely dissimilar .
It ’s not punishing to imagine what Norman would have done with the Venom symbiote , as readers were given a pretty serious musical theme when Norman became the Red Goblin in 2018’sAmazing Spider - Man#798 by Dan Slott and Stuart Immonen . During this era , Norman became a terminated maniac after bonding with the Carnage symbiote and , at one point , even begin to believe himself to be Cletus Kasady . With the Venom symbiote , it ’s likely that Norman would be much more in mastery of his idea , which would also make himsignificantlymore severe . As the Red Goblin , he was mostly a slave to Carnage ’s impulses , but with the Venom symbiote , Norman could be an entirely different variety of monster .
Norman Osborn Would Be A Terrifying Host For Venom
These variant cover are a fun look into a world where the Venom symbiote found its path to someone other than Peter . While there ’s no doubt that characters like Iron Man or Daredevil would have found a way to still be a Heron with the courtship , Norman Osborn unquestionably would ’ve been a fiend . The world has already seen what variety of horrors Norman can unleash when he ’s just the Green Goblin , and the Red Goblin was even more terrifying . So it ’s a great thing that theGreen Goblinnever flummox the Venom symbiote likeSpider - Mandid , despite how cool it might have been .
