Spider-Man’s Most Hated Foe Was Briefly a Radical Hero

As powerful as he is, sometimes even Spider-Man needs help protecting New York City. With a plethora of clones, symbiotes, criminal gangs, mad scientists, and some incredibly harrowing personal relationships to navigate, Spider-Man always has his hands full. Despite being home to Avengers Tower, the Baxter Building, the Punisher, and the Heroes For Hire (among many other heroes), Marvel’s New York City is still bursting at the seams with villains. When Spider-Man found himself up to his web-shooters in super complicated clone drama, a person that no one would have ever believed could be a hero decided to turn a new leaf and join Spider-Man in the fight against crime.1995’s Green Goblin (by Tom Defalco, Scott McDaniel, and Kevin Kobasic) was a 13-issue miniseries that starred Spider-Man’s archnemesis as a masked crusader. In a surprise twist, the man beneath the Green Goblin mask wasn’t Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn, or any of the other past criminals that had worn the outfit. It was a completely ordinary college-aged boy named Phil Urich who happened to fall face-first into a once in a lifetime situation.Philip Urich, the nephew of acclaimed investigative journalist Ben Urich, is a something of a slacker. Getting a gig at The Daily Bugle with his uncle was great, but Phil didn’t exactly have his heart in it due in part to the airs of nepotism that wafted from his job. More concerned with getting girls than establishing his professional career, Phil’s life got thrown upside down when a smalltime gang attempted to murder Phil and his uncle. Racing through a warehouse, Phil accidentally discovered Harry Osborn’s old secret hideout, packed with his Green Goblin suit and tech. After accidentally dousing himself in a volatile green chemical, Phil takes the Green Goblin equipment and leaves. The chemicals that soaked Phil, when coupled with the technology in the Green Goblin mask, transformed Phil into the superhuman powerhouse that was the Green Goblin.RELATED: Tobey Maguire’s Scariest Spider-Man Villain Wasn’t Green Goblin or Doc Ock
