Biography[]

The Amazing Spider-Man[]

"People die, even Norman Osborn."

Norman was referenced numerous times as the founder of Oscorp. Osborn was suffering from some sort of sickness and dying from it; the reason why Dr. Connors was developing a new serum was to not just regrow his missing arm, but find a way to save Norman as well.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2[]

When Norman was close to death, his son Harry returned from his travels to assume the role of CEO of Oscorp if his father was to pass away. After a brief conversation with Harry, where Norman told him that the disease was genetic, Norman passed his son all of his research into a cure. By the next morning, Norman had passed away and Harry filled in his role at Oscorp.
