When will the Avengers return Norman Osborn to the Spider-Man universe?

[Xenon]

Eh, taking him in the opposite direction is fine. Just say he's a clone and have him call himself Xel Rohtol already Marvel.

Or a Norman from a different universe.

Well according the recent Axel-In-Charge, the answer is "soon enough".

The question is: When will the X-Men bring Mystique to the Spider-Man universe?

Okay I'm definitely calling you out on this one, you cannot be realz

He said that but not in that way.

It's likely you'll see Osborn battling Spidey and impacting on his world again sooner or later, but not necessarily as the Green Goblin. He's undergoing a metamorphosis into something new right now in the pages of "Avengers" and "New Avengers.

This doesn't sound like he is going back anytime soon and it sound more like if he does face Spider-man its going to be the Head of Hammer Osborn.

Osborn is Osborn. Whether it's as GG or in a business suit, it's the same character.

The thread asked when/is Osborn will be back, there it is. :)

[FirestormTheNuclearMan]

I hope it would be sometime soon.

[Fire Knight]

Well Avengers have reputations for stealing characters from other franchises

[Hunkle]

Hopefully very, very soon. I liked Norman being independent of his Green Goblin identity, it has gotten old. There hasn't been a good goblin in a long while, so I really want him to reassume his identity.

Problem is, it didn't used to be that way.

I think since H.A.M.M.E.R has been dissovled in to hydra,and benndis is finshing his run this year it should be pritty soon

[MrV]

I hope Norman never returns to Spidey's rogues gallery. That character has been overexposed and his enmity towards him has gone from stupid to absurd. Spidey needs a new archnemesis.

[Fanofthegoblins]

If some of you want a Green Goblin to return, Bart Hamilton could possibly still be alive. We never saw him perished on-panel. If he is alive, he's probably still obsessed with being the goblin.
You won't see norman in purple tights for a loooooong time.

[E. Wilson]

As a fan of the character, I'm totally cool with him taking a siesta for a bit. Doc Ock and the Kraven family really stepped up to the plate as arch-enemies in his absence. (Heck, just about all of Spidey's major enemies have graduated to Avengers-level threats in the past couple years. Carnage, Ock, the Jackal, the Six...)

[Luck911]

Honestly it is time move on Osborn and Venom have run their course as Spiderman villains

[Cheesedique]

It's definitely time to find a way to reinstate Norman as a threat in Spider-man's world. Slott's already doing a story with Doc Ock that will probably end up sidelining Ock for awhile afterwards. Venom's a good guy. Kingsley's dead, and Philgoblin sucks. Spider-man is sorely lacking in the archenemy department right now.
