<P> In his first appearances , the Green Goblin seems to be a normal man ( albeit very nimble and athletic ) who gets his powers from his many gadgets . In later appearances , it is established that due to the `` Goblin Formula '' , Norman and any successor to the Goblin persona possesses superhuman strength ( lifting 9 tons under optimal conditions ) , increased speed , reflexes , endurance , and healing rate . Though much slower than the likes of Wolverine , he can regenerate damaged tissue and organs . However , if seriously wounded , it would leave scars on his body . His intelligence has been enhanced to gifted levels , though at the price of his sanity . His involvement with the Gathering of the Five loosened his grip on reality , though he is able to maintain his sanity via chemically treated dermal patches . When not impaired by mental illness , Osborn is a cunning businessman , masterful strategist , and highly skilled in electronics , mechanics , engineering and chemistry . The Green Goblin is armed with a variety of bizarre devices . He travels on his bat - shaped `` Goblin Glider '' , an incredibly fast and maneuverable rocket glider equipped with various armaments . Other weapons the Goblin uses include incendiary Pumpkin Bombs , smoke - and gas - emitting grenades resembling ghosts and jack - ' o ' - lanterns , razor - edged boomerang - like throwing weapons called razor bats and gloves woven with micro-circuited filaments which channel pulsed discharges of electricity at nearly 10,000 volts . He wears a green costume underneath bulletproof chainmail with an overlapping purple tunic . His mask has a built - in gas filter to keep him safe from his own gasses . </P>
