[Jack O'Lantern]

I think he wants Spider-Man to become evil with no formula. Just to feel like he was in control.

They did a story like that in 2001, where Osborn tried to get Peter to take the Goblin formula willingly. Forcing him to take the formula would be meaningless, he has to want to be like Osborn.

Oops.

Norman has a twisted code of ethics. He feels that if he can turn his enemy into himself, then he will have truly beatin spider-man.

Ultimate Green Goblin...Dies?

That sucks. He's one of my favorite Ultimate characters.

It just says "Death of the Goblin". That could also mean Harry seeing as he's Hobgoblin now.

 

[avpmaster132004]

It could also mean one of them loses their powers.

 

[Grim Goblin]

I have to say though, as good as the mind games have become over the years between Norman and Peter, I sometimes miss the old days where it would just be Norman flying straight at Spidey with the simple intention to kill him right there. I always felt it was the main thing that made him different from the Hobgoblin (besides the colour scheme) who would always take great care to plan ahead.

I know everyone on these boards seems to love USM.

But I think Ultimate Green Goblin sucks. A total abomination of the original character.

(Although compared to Ultimate Carnage I guess he got off lightly. Atleast Ultimate Gobby is still Norman Osborn)

I love the Green Goblin, but Norman should be dead. One of the greatest stories of all time and Marvel screwed it up by trying to fix their mess of a clone saga. The Hobgoblin should be the main baddie these days.

If Ultimate Green Goblin were exactly like the regular universe Goblin, what is the point of even having an Ultimate Universe than?

I know there are a lot of posters around the boards who dislike the Ultimate Universe very much. But if you're going to have a separate universe, why make the characters EXACTLY like the regular universe counterparts? Then Marvel is REALLY taking your money away from you by packaging the same exact universe and storylines, characters, and plot into a modern retelling.

 

[avpmaster132004]

i agree. i think people only say they hate USM because they think it makes them sound smart.

 

[Grim Goblin]

Personally, what bugs me about Ultimate GG is the sheer size of the guy. I don't mind the oz transformation part and the fireball throwing since it does make some needed diversity.

But when you have a character that turns green and wears purple pants, the last thing you need is to make him grow huge or else you're sure to be called on the obvious Hulk rip-off.

And the whole flaming back is a bit much too. They should keep it at the level of fireball shooting or maybe as an attack of last resort.

 

[webhead731]

I thought he looked most Goblin-like before he put more Oz in his body making him Hulk-like. He was skinny, had a purple hood and cape that was all torn up and threw fireballs.

He should go back to that. The Hulk-Goblin is somewhat cool.

 

[Kraven]

He should wear the purple cloak thing more often, instead of just the pants. Then it seems like a bit less of a rip off.

 

[webhead731]

Pants with the hood and cape. I don't want a naked Goblin lol.

 

[Grim Goblin]

I just wished they would stick to a single "look" for him instead of changing it every time. But I guess they just couldn't agree on a "final" design that they really liked. Too bad since it's most likely Norman who's gonna get axed in the upcoming USM arc so there won't be a point to fix the problem.

Although he was less hulk-like before the overdose, he was still bigger than an average person.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Hood and cape = awesome.

Just pants = drunken redneck looking for a fight.

 

[avpmaster132004]

leave the hood and cape to hobgoblin

 

[CrimeMaster!]

[avpmaster132004]

[Kraven]

Everytime I see that I think about buying it, before realizing that I don't have the money. It does look unbelievably sweet though.
