    Ur joking right? 
    The guy is a genius. The Goblin serum makes you insane but also enhances your intelligence to genius levels. 
    He is a good businessman but he was first and foremost a professional scientist.

    @Bobby X: I'm not saying he's stupid, but compared to other super-scientists in the Marvel universe he's on the lower end of the spectrum. Also, I had the impression Marvel was trying to downplay his scientist origins.

    Norman is a genius, how big he is in the scale I don't know. Only in humans I can think of at least 7 people more intelligent than him: Reed Richard, Doctor Doom, Iron man, Hank Pym, Bruce Banner, Excello (or was he just an illusion?) and Amadeus Cho

    Wouldn't call him a Genius or anything, I'd put him at Parker's level.

    @Shadow Sorcerer: I would add Dr. Octopus (Reed Richards even respects his intellect and sought his aid), High Evolutionary (his intellect raised him to almost godlike level), and Mister Sinister.

    Normal Osborn is a very intelligent man. I'd place him in the top 10 human intellects of the Marvel U.

    I think Spider-Man is smart, but he's not one of the brainier characters in the Marvel universe. So if Green Goblin is continually getting his ass kicked by Spider-Man, his intelligence would seem to be slightly lower.

    I say he is a step below Beast, slightly above Spider-Man. It depends on the area we are talking.

    True, but he's definitely not outsmarting Spider-Man. In fact, except for taking over SHIELD, I can't think of when he's outsmarted anyone. I know he's supposed to be intelligent, but smart is as smart does.

    @Jotham: 

    He created the Goblin Serum, he's a brilliant strategist, and he once invented a cure for cancer. I do not have that much spider-man comics so it will be hard for me to show some feat of his intelligence.

    True. 
     
    Norman cured cancer. Then, instead of releasing that cure, he weaponized it as a contingency against Deadpool.

    genius level. it was defined in the Goblin Cronicles. Norman understands the workings of all of the tech/science at his disposal
    currently and personally re-engineered most of it.
