Norman Virgil Osborn
The character you are referring to is Green Goblin, not a purple gremlin. Green Goblin is one of Spiderman's most well-known enemies, known for his green and purple costume and his alter-ego Norman Osborn.
Because the Goblin thought spiderman killed his father-which he didnt- So spiderman was framed.
He rescued his girlfriend Jeanette after the Green Goblin tied her up.
In the recent Spiderman movies: 1) Green Goblin, 2)Dr. Oct, and 3) Venom
green goblin transformation from the amazing spiderman 2
Yes, in the first Spiderman, Peter Parker has Thanksgiving (?) dinner with the Green Goblin, Harry's dad, and Harry, who turns out to be a sort of second Green Goblin in the third Spiderman, but he doesn't know it at the time.
probably when spiderman fights the green goblin for the first time?
I did, its was me!!! Harry ___________________________ Liar!!!!!! It was not you Harry... you inspired the green goblin I inspired spiderman... the one and only-- Alex--
Spider-Man never really directly kills someone in Sam Raimi's trilogy, but the Green Goblin (Spiderman) and Venom (Spiderman 3) are killed or vanished in a fight with Spiderman.
Spiderman has about 10-20 or more. The enemy's put in the movies were..in Spiderman 1 The Green Goblin. In Spiderman 2, Doctor Octopus. And finally in Spiderman 3 he has 2....Venom and Sandman(not including New Goblin) . Another few that were not in the films are Hob-Goblin, Carnage, Rhino, Mysterio, Toxin, Vulture and Scorpion. So hope this helped!
He attempts to trick spiderman into trusting him and his glider stabs him when he sets it on spiderman. see this video for more details: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZIEcAbrLgs
