    Yeah I was pretty disappointed with the whole Dark Avengers deal. Spider-man should have played a much bigger role as Norm is his nemesis.

    Wasn't Norman left in a coma at the end of that "New Dark Avengers" arc? All they'd have to do is have him come out of it with amnesia of the last few years, and have his powers be missing, and we're good.

    No, Marvel seems to hate their best villains.

    Osborn has never been street level to begin with, why would they depower him?

    I hope not, it was a genuine evolution of his character that I thought actually made sense.

    So therefore yes, they will de-power him at he'll be the goblin once more within the next few years:P

    Whilst I'd like to see Norman as the Goblin again, it would devalue the whole evolution of the character. So basically Marvel shouldn't have tried to fix what ain't broken.
